Biological processes cellular respiration

Aerobic respiration The biological process during which animals and some bacteria oxidize organic carbon to carbon dioxide to yield cellular energy. The oxidizing agent is O2. 

The study of the ion transfer through artificial liquid membrane systems is important for the elucidation of the ion transfer through biological membranes. In this respect, the Interface between two inmiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) constitutes a biomimetic medium suitable for studying several fundamental processes, ranging from biocatalysis to cellular respiration of photosynthesis, and many others [18-22], The first studies of liquid/liquid interfaces (L/L) under the application of an external potential were carried out by Gavach et al. [23], laying the basis for the current electrochemical treatments of ITIES. 

Nearly all ischemic events are modulated by temperature, and cerebroprotection from hypothermia is believed to increase resistance against multiple deleterious pathways including oxidative stress and inflammation [205-211]. Generally, most biological processes exhibit a of approximately 2.5, which means that a 1°C reduction in temperature reduces the rate of cellular respiration, oxygen demand, and carbon dioxide production by approximately 10% [212]. Reduced temperature also slows the rate of pathological processes such as lipid peroxidation, as well as the activity of certain cysteine or serine proteases. However, detoxification and repair processes are also slowed, so the net outcome may be complex. Hence, hypothermia appears to be an attractive therapy that targets multiple injury mechanisms. 

The nutritional status and biological role(s) of pangamic acid await clarification. Its stimulation of such fundamental processes of transmethylation, cellular respiration, etc. may have physiological application. Certainly, there Is sufficient indication of the value of pangamic acid as a therapeutic agent to warrant further study. In the meantime, pangamic acid shouid not be taken unless prescribed by a physician. 

Electron transfer reactions are important in many areas. In biological systems, processes like photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, and aerobic respiration (the process your body uses to make energy using oxygen) all rely heavily on electron transfer reactions. Electron transfer reactions are also frequently used to obtain pure metals from ore. Electrochemical cells (see Analytical Chemistry ) also rely on electron transfer reactions the batteries that power your cellular phone and other devices use electron transfer reactions to do so.
