Mitochondrial respiration

Molecular classification
Metabolic pathway, Enzyme complex
01

Overview

Mitochondrial respiration is the primary process by which cells generate energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through the oxidation of substrates, mainly glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids. This process occurs within mitochondria and is essential for cellular viability and function. It involves oxidative phosphorylation and the citric acid cycle, converting chemical energy into ATP, and is regulated by substrate availability and other factors.
