Mitochondria is the power house of the cell, it's a membrane bound organelle which generates energy for cellular activity (e.g. protein production) by generation of ATP through aerobic (requires oxygen) r...

In prophase I of meiosis, homologous, non-sister chromatids form connections called chiasmata at matching loci. The complex then splits to give chromatids with different combinations of genes than were pr...

The first part of aerobic respiration is to convert glucose into pyruvate in a series of reactions known as glycolysis, which happens in the cytoplasm of cells. Glycolysis consumes 2 molecules of ATP and ...

The action potential arrives at the presynaptic knob and causes the depolarisation of the plasma membrane. This causes voltage gated calcium channels to open allowing calcium to diffuse into the presynapt...

The cellular mechanism for increases in MPS post exercise is regulated through the activation of downstream components of mTOR signalling pathway (4EBP1 Thr37/46 and S6K1 Thr389) (Dreyer et al., 2006). St...
