Cells that have a high-energy demand such as nerve cells and muscle cells contain a large number of mitochondria to maximise ATP production by aerobic respiration. A muscle cell contains ...

which affects its ability to regulate mitochondrial respiration and ATP production. This adaptability is crucial for maintaining cellular energy balance and responding to metabolic demands[3].

Cellular respiration Cellular respiration refers to the breakdown of glucose and other respiratory substrates to make energy carrying molecules called ATP. Energy systems in muscle cells During ...

The molecular trick of brown fat cells is uncoupling protein-1, which ensures that heat is generated instead of ATP, the ...

In the same way that the genetic code enables information to transcend chemistry, so Mitchell's proton gradients enable cellular ... respiration, which supplies more than 80 percent of our ATP.
