Cells that have a high-energy demand such as nerve cells and muscle cells contain a large number of mitochondria to maximise ATP production by aerobic respiration. A muscle cell contains ...

The released energy is stored in the form of ATP and is used for various cellular activities such as growth, reproduction, ...

Anaerobic respiration happens in muscles during hard exercise. \(\text{glucose} \rightarrow \text{lactic acid + energy in the form of ATP}\) Glucose close glucoseA simple sugar used by cells for ...

The proton gradients that power respiration are as universal as the genetic code itself, giving an insight into the origin of life and the singular origin of complexity. Why do virtually all cells ...
