  2. Cellular respiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_respiration

    Cellular respiration is the process by which biological fuels are broken down in the presence of a hydrogen acceptor, such as oxygen, to drive the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which stores chemical energy in a biologically accessible form.

  3. Cytochrome c oxidase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytochrome_c_oxidase

    Other ligands, such as nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide, can also inhibit COX by binding to regulatory sites on the enzyme, reducing the rate of cellular respiration. [21] Cyanide is a non-competitive inhibitor for COX, [22] [23] binding with high affinity to the partially-reduced state of the enzyme and hindering further reduction of the ...

  4. Exoelectrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exoelectrogen

    Conventional cellular respiration requires a final electron acceptor to receive these electrons. Cells that use molecular oxygen (O 2) as their final electron acceptor are described as using aerobic respiration, while cells that use other soluble compounds as their final electron acceptor are described as using anaerobic respiration. [2]

  5. Bioenergetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioenergetics

    Bioenergetics is a field in biochemistry and cell biology that concerns energy flow through living systems. [1] This is an active area of biological research that includes the study of the transformation of energy in living organisms and the study of thousands of different cellular processes such as cellular respiration and the many other metabolic and enzymatic processes that lead to ...

  6. Respiration (physiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiration_(physiology)

    Although physiologic respiration is necessary to sustain cellular respiration and thus life in animals, the processes are distinct: cellular respiration takes place in individual cells of the organism, while physiologic respiration concerns the diffusion and transport of metabolites between the organism and the external environment.

  7. Electron acceptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_acceptor

    Paraquat, the dication on the left, functions as an electron acceptor, disrupting respiration in plants. In biology, a terminal electron acceptor often refers to either the last compound to receive an electron in an electron transport chain, such as oxygen during cellular respiration, or the last cofactor to receive an electron within the electron transfer domain of a reaction center during ...

  8. Respiratory complex I - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respiratory_complex_I

    NAD + to NADH. FMN to FMNH 2. CoQ to CoQH 2.. Complex I is the first enzyme of the mitochondrial electron transport chain.There are three energy-transducing enzymes in the electron transport chain - NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I), Coenzyme Q – cytochrome c reductase (complex III), and cytochrome c oxidase (complex IV). [1]

  9. Cytochrome c - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytochrome_c

    The cytochrome complex, or cyt c, is a small hemeprotein found loosely associated with the inner membrane of the mitochondrion where it plays a critical role in cellular respiration. It transfers electrons between Complexes III (Coenzyme Q – Cyt c reductase) and IV (Cyt c oxidase). Cytochrome c is highly water-soluble, unlike other cytochromes.
