The analysis of cellular ultrastructure is paramount for gaining a comprehensive understanding of cell functionality. By examining the intricate details within a cell, researchers can uncover the mechanisms that
What organelles produce ATP? The energy in glucose is transformed into ATP. What energy transformations occur between glucose and ATP? Fill in the blank. Energy is stored in ___ as ATP molecules. What molecule allows hydrogen ions, that accumulate in the intermembrane space of the mitocho...
However, differentiating between organelles, membranes, and other subcellular components is a daunting task due to the intricate and interwoven nature of these structures. Robust and accurate tools are required to conduct successful investigations within cells. ...
Eukaryotic cells are the only cell type to have membrane bound organelles. However, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have membrane-less organelles. Organelles are "little organs" which carry out specialized functions within the cell, for instance like the mitochondria which generates energy via...

Oxidation is the process of free radical damage caused by radical oxygen. Antioxidants are molecules that can safely donate electrons to free radicals, terminating the oxidative chain reaction before critical molecules are damaged. Although several enzyme systems in the body scavenge free radicals, the...
which are able to ultimately reduce the free radical byproducts of cellular energy production to water. Unfortunately, these defense mechanisms are only effective to a certain extent. Leaked and released free radicals, such as superoxide radicals, can react with cellular organelles or other molecules...
Nevertheless, when differentiated cells “revert” to exhibiting a progenitor cell-like gene expression profile, repress the gene expression profile of differentiated cells, reduce their number and/or maturity of cellular organelles, and show potential for cell cycle re-entry [1,2], this falls ...
1. What are the four main processes involved in cellular respiration? 2. Where does each take place within the cell? What organelles are responsible for respiration in animals? Which metabolic pathway is taking place, resulting in the formation of CO_2?
