Ancient microbes illustrate a particular kind of respiration in which carbon dioxide and hydrogen are combined to form acetic ...

The trees exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen with the atmosphere through little “mouths” in their leaves and tiny “windows” ...

A team of scientists have elucidated an ancient mechanism of cellular respiration. To that end, they studied bacteria that feed on the gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and turn them into acetic acid ...

Animals, plants and many other living organisms inhale oxygen to "burn" (oxidize) compounds like sugar into CO2 and water—a ...

That process, called carbon fixation, resulted in the assembly of two three-carbon molecules called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA ...

The authors suggest that the higher carbon dioxide concentrations in the warmer lakes can be explained by higher rates of respiration. Warm lakes might metabolize a greater proportion of the ...

It is commonly assumed that as forest ecosystems age, they accumulate and store (sequester) more carbon. A study based at the ...

suggest that a special form of respiration could have existed even then. These microorganisms "respire" carbon dioxide and hydrogen into acetic acid. The metabolic pathway with which they do so ...

Cellular respiration. Image by edesignua via Depositphotos In contrast to photosynthesis, cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of animal cells and converts glucose and oxygen into energy, ...

Our not-to-distant future relatives could be in for a rough ride even if we manage to curb our carbon emissions, a new study ...
