THE SCIENCE OF CHROMOSOMES
Introduction Chromosomes are long, coiled-up molecules of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that contain an organism’s genetic information. They are found in the nucleus of every cell in the body of eukaryotic organisms, including humans. Chromosomes are responsible for transmitting genetic information…
AN INTRODUCTION TO THE CHEMIOSMOTIC MECHANISM
The chemiosmotic mechanism refers to the process by which cells generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through the electron transport chain (ETC) in the inner mitochondrial membrane (in eukaryotes) or the plasma membrane (in prokaryotes). The mechanism was first proposed by Peter…
TOP THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT REGULATION OF ENZYME ACTIVITY TODAY
Introduction Enzyme activity is regulated by a variety of mechanisms, including: Substrate availability: The concentration of substrate molecules can affect the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. An increase in substrate concentration can lead to an increase in the rate of the…
