What do they mean when people say that digestion starts in your mouth?

The mouth is the beginning of the digestive tract. In fact, digestion starts here as soon as you take the first bite of a meal. Chewing breaks the food into pieces that are more easily digested, while saliva mixes with food to begin the process of breaking it down into a form your body can absorb and use. Hope I’ve helped ;)

(oxygen, electron transport chain, chemiosmosis, NADPH)
Vaselesa [24]

Hai there :3 I'm planning to study chemical engineering.

Question related to Biochemistry (Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration)

1. Chemiosmosis.  In the process of chemiosmosis, specific enzymes (such as ATP synthase) create ATP. Hydrogen ions go from a higher proton concentration to a lower one, which is why it's called chemio"osmosis"

2. Electron Transport Chain (ETC). The name says it all. Simply explained, electrons are transported and transferred in the mitochondrial membrane.

3. Oxygen. O2, the diatomic molecule, is essential in respiration. In the final stage of respiration, at the near end of the electron transport chain, oxygen accepts protons to become water. Cells use O2 during oxidative phosphorylation.

4. NADPH. I remember learning what this acronym means by heart. Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate Hydrogen. NADPH is essential in photosynthesis as a typical coenzyme in the reduction of chemical reactions.
