Mitochondria
Mitochondria are organelles found in eukaryotic cells responsible for generating energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Due to their essential role in cellular respiration, they are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell. Mitochondria have a unique structure consisting of an outer membrane, intermembrane space, inner membrane, cristae, and matrix. They…

Electron Transport Chain: The Powerhouse of Cellular Respiration
Introduction: Structure of the Electron Transport Chain Complexes of ETC: The ETC is made up of four protein complexes: Complex I, Complex II, Complex III, and Complex IV. Each complex has a specific function in the ETC, and the electron transfer between complexes is tightly regulated. Complex I (NADH-CoQ oxidoreductase): Complex I is the first…
