These profiles provide direct information about nucleotide sequences.  DNA fingerprinting or DNA profiling is a method of isolating and identifying variable elements within the base pair sequence of DNA. DNA profiling relies on microsatellites rather than the minisatellites used in DNA fingerprinting. Microsatellites, or short tandem repeats (STRs), are the shorter relatives of minisatellites usually two to five base pairs long.
        
             
        
        
        
Cellular respiration is the process by which the chemical energy of "food" molecules is released and partially captured in the form of ATP. ... In glycolysis, the 6-carbon sugar, glucose, is broken down into two molecules of a 3-carbon molecule called pyruvate.
