... (I've been told that Glycolysis occurs in all human cells, so does it also occur in bone cells, nail cells etc?) B: Krebs cycle occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria, but which BODY TISSUES/PARTS contain the cells that contain the mitochondria part? Detail would be preferred to foggy generalized ...

cellular respiration???

Cellular respiartion is a basicaly a three step process. 1. Glycolysis, it occurs in the cytoplasm. 2. Krebs cycle, it takes place in the matrix of mitochondria and 3. Electron Transport System (ETS) or Electron Transport Chain (ETC). These are groups or units of electron carriers found embedded ...

Biological Functions of...

... and NAG (N-Acetlyglucosamine) to make the necessary glycoproteins for export. Oh, and all those glycoproteins and glucosamines in the extracelluar matrix: albeit mucus!!!! :mrgreen:

Different appearences b/w human and plant cells

Postulating here, plant cells walls are generally more rigid that animal cells due to the cell wall matrix. Since turgor pressure is a factor all cells have to account for, cells without a cell wall to resist turgor pressure may have developed a more elliptical shape as this ...
