Abstract: Cellular respiration is a very essential biochemical process that is heavily researched and understood. The energy synthesizing component of cellular respiration contributes to the importance of studying this biochemical process. Through this paper, an effort is made to project the major mechanisms of respiration along with explaining the components of mitochondria. The paper initially discusses the processes of cellular respiration which includes glycolysis, Kreb’s cycle, and the electron transport chain. Additionally, the glycolysis section of the paper highlights the evolutionary significance of glycolysis. The endosymbiotic theory which proposes the origin of mitochondria within humans is included as well along with the pathologies associated with dysfunctioning mitochondria. Hence, with an aim to review multiple pieces of literature related to cellular respiration, this paper signifies the function of mitochondria and cellular respiration as a complex biochemical react
RiyaOnGenetics is now Biochemistry for life! Here you will learn about how biochemistry affects us and how important it is for us to understand it. In these blogs, we will talk about certain biochemistry concepts that apply to us in our daily lives. My hope through this blog is to help you appreciate biochemistry! Enjoy!
