Summary Introduction
To review:
Mechanisms responsible for autoimmune diseases.
Introduction:
Autoimmune disease is a condition in which the immune system fails to recognize its own cells and damages the organs, by activating the autoreactive T (thymic) cells and stimulating the production of autoantibodies by B (bursa of Fabricius) cells.

One of the ways for a cell to generate ATP is through the oxidative phosphorylation. In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?
