Cellular respiration converts the food we eat into energy we can use in the form of ATP. This new Click & Learn, with accompanying student worksheet, guides students through cellular respiration using an interactive diagram that embeds our classic molecular animations. Delve into key metabolic reactions as students track the reactants and products of each process and how they relate to one another. https://bit.ly/CellRespirationHub

So much more to learn.

S***m have long been thought of as streamlined DNA delivery vehicles, carrying little more than a father’s genes to the egg.

But a new study shows that in mice, s***m may transmit the father’s influence in another way.

During their passage through the epididymis, the coiled tube where they mature after leaving the te**es, s***m pick up messenger RNAs (mRNAs), RNA transcripts of genes that contain the genetic instructions for making proteins.

These mRNAs seem to be transferred to the fertilized egg, where they may affect the developing embryo.
