Cellular Respiration

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses cellular respiration, the Kreb's cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, glycolysis, electron transfer system, substrate-level phosphorylation and electron transport phosphorylation. The paper further discusses where in the cell these processes take place and how, the enzymes involved, the substrates and end products.

From the Paper:

"Cellular respiration includes all the processes by which a cell uses food molecules, such as glucose to produce energy in the form of adenosinetriphosphate (ATP) for use by all the energy-consuming activities carried out by the cell. This occurs in the cytoplasm of alleukaryotic cells. Cells which respire in the presence of oxygen do so aerobically whereas those which do it in the absence of oxygen are said to respire anaerobically. Many aerobic cells are also capable of anaerobic respiration when temporarily deprived of oxygen..."
