Critically ill patients get too ill to manage their own breathing, and to make sure that their bodies get enough of an air supply, hooking them up to a machine for hours or days has saved countless lives.

		<description><![CDATA[So, in Mitochondria Pt. 2 I threw a whole lot of information at you, some of it without much context. In this post, I will hopefully provide some of that context. Specifically, we will explore the the different types of electron carrier molecules that are present in the electron transport chain. Most electron carrier molecules [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=giantshoulders.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1865021&amp;post=29&amp;subd=giantshoulders&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Mitochondria (along with chloroplasts and other plastids) are thought to have originally been independent entities. As such, they had their own DNA, the remains of which can be found in the mitochondria in our [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=giantshoulders.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1865021&amp;post=12&amp;subd=giantshoulders&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
