cryogenics?

... mammals such as humans. Uneven distribution of cryopreservants, uneven freezing/thawing speeds and the complexity of systemic functions such as respiration, circulation, digestion and central nervous system make it absolutely impossible - with current means that is. Furthermore, if this was ...

aerobic and anaerobic glucose degeneration in a cell

... glycolysis without an electron acceptor. Electron acceptors are referring to a molecule which the Electron Transport Chain can use. In Anaerobic respiration/fermentation glucose is broken down through investment of ATP into several intermediates eventually creating pyruvate and 2 net ATP. Because ...
