Animals, plants and many other living organisms inhale oxygen to "burn" (oxidize) compounds like sugar into CO2 and water—a ...

A team of scientists have elucidated an ancient mechanism of cellular respiration. To that end, they studied bacteria that feed on the gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and turn them into acetic acid ...

Montana State University has long been a hub for research on the many unique features of nearby Yellowstone National Park, ...

Elite military units and emergency responders use specific tactical breathing techniques to manage stress and improve performance during high-pressure situation ...

Biomedical engineers at Georgia Tech have developed a system for collecting and processing thermal images that allows for ...

A cutting-edge humidity sensing system has been unveiled, capable of monitoring human behaviors in real-time through the ...

Respiration close respirationA chemical reaction that occurs in the mitochondria of cells in which glucose and oxygen react to produce carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy. is a chemical ...

Mitochondria age differently depending upon whether they’re located in the liver, heart, or kidney, scientists find in flies and mice. Scientists dive into the genomes of whales, elephants, and other ...

Then, via respiration processes, cells use oxygen and glucose to synthesize energy-rich carrier molecules, such as ATP, and carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product. Therefore, the synthesis ...
