The metabolic pathway taking place in the mitochondria of all aerobic[ Aerobic ] In the presence of oxygen, or otherwise the capability or requirement of the presence of oxygen. Opposite of Anaerobic.... More organisms that produces ATP[ Adenosine_Triphosphate, ATP ] A nucleoside triphosphate used in cells as a coenzyme in energy metabolism. ATP carries energy to where it is needed to fuel metabolic processes and is often referred to as the "molecular unit of currency".... More through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA[ Acetyl_Co-Enzyme_A, Acetyl-CoA ] A product of fatty acid oxidation and of the breakdown of carbohydrates through glycolysis. Along with pyruvic acid, an important constituent of the Krebs Cycle, which drives cellular energy production.... More from carbohydrates[ Carbohydrate, Carb, Saccharide ] A group of organic compounds occurring in living tissues, comprising of sugars, starches, and cellulose. Carbohydrates can be divided into four chemical groups: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Shorter-chain carbohydrates (monosaccharides and disaccharides) are generally sweet tasting are commonly referred to as sugars.... More, fatty acids[ Fatty_Acid ] A carboxylic acid with a hydrocarbon chain, usually derived from triglycerides or phospholipids. Fats, oils and esters are comprised of fatty acids. In the body, fatty acids function as the building blocks of cell membranes and signalling molecules. As fuel, they have a high-energy yield (9 kcal/gram) and are the primary means of energy storage in the... More and amino acids[ Amino acid ] A simple organic compound containing containing both an amine (-NH2) and a carboxyl (-COOH) functional group, along with a side-chain (R group), which is specific to each amino acid. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and perform critical roles in biosynthesis and neurotransmitter transport. There are over 500 amino acids known but only 20... More.
