Respiration


Respiration is a term used in both biology and biochemistry:
Cellular respiration, the process in which the chemical bonds of energy-rich molecules such as glucose are converted into energy usable for life processes, ...

Respiration can refer to:
Cellular respiration, which is the use of oxygen in the metabolism of organic molecules.
Physiological respiration, which exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide between an organism and the external environment.
Full article >>>

In respiration, glucose is oxidized (releasing energy) and oxygen is reduced to form water.
The carbon atoms of the sugar molecule are released as carbon dioxide (CO2).
Full article >>>

Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water. The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell.

Respiration
The insect respired by means of air-filled internal tubes, the tracheae. This ectoderm-derived organ forms a highly branched tubular network which provides the organs with oxygen.

respiration 1) breathing as part of gas exchange; or 2) cellular metabolism.
respiratory surface A thin, moist, epithelial surface that oxygen can cross to move into the body and carbon dioxide can cross to move out of the body.

respiration
[L. respirare, to breathe]
(1) In aerobic organisms, the intake of oxygen and the liberation of carbon dioxide. (2) In cells, the oxygen-requiring stage in the breakdown and release of energy from fuel molecules.

respiration Gaseous interchange between an organism and its surrounding medium. In the cell, the release of energy by the oxidation of food molecules.
respiratory exchange See gas exchange.

respiration. The process by which nutrients are metabolized to provide energy needed for cellular activity.
rhizome. A horizontal, underground shoot, especially one that forms roots at the nodes to produce new plants.

acceptor control (Electron transport chain) The regulation of the rate of respiration by the availability of ADP as a phosphate group acceptor.

Nitric oxide (NO) and its derivative, peroxynitrite (ONOO‾), inhibit mitochondrial respiration, and this inhibition may contribute to both the physiological and cytotoxic actions of NO.
Full article >>>

Genes induced during anaerobic respiration included those involved in cofactor biosynthesis and assembly (moaACE, ccmHF, cysG), substrate transport (cysUP, cysTWA, dcuB), and anaerobic energy metabolism (dmsAB, psrC, pshA, hyaABC, hydABC).
Full article >>>

The purple bacteria evolved oxygen respiration by reversing the flow of molecules through their carbon fixing pathways and modifying their electron transport chains. Purple bacteria also enabled the eukaryotic lineage to become aerobic.
Full article >>>

These bacteria use sulfate as an electron acceptor instead of oxygen, in a form of metabolism known as anaerobic respiration. Hydrogen sulfide is generated in the process.

Granular, rod-shaped, or filamentous self-replicating organellae in cytoplasm. Consist of an outer and inner membrane and function in cell respiration and nutrition. They have their own DNA (mtDNA) and ribosomes and are mostly maternally inherited.

In birds and reptiles, it fuses with the chorion to form the chorioallantoic membrane which assists in respiration, and in addition it is the site of storage of nitrogenous wastes.
