160100127: more information and a reference added

Coenzyme Q also known as "Cytochrome c - Oxidoreducatase" is a [[Protein|protein]] involved in the [[Oxidative phosphorylation|oxidative phosphorylation]] and the production of [[ATP|ATP]] as the third protein along in the [[Electron transport chain|electron transport chain]] where it plays a vital role in the production of ATP by [[Oxidative phosphorylation|oxidative phosphorylation]].

Coenzyme Q (sometimes called complex III) is a multisubunit transmembrane protein coded for both by mitochondrial and nuclear genomes - though the enzyme its present is present in mitochondria1.

160100127: Added a few refernces

Concentration refers to how much of something there is in a given volume, commonly liquid or gas1

This can be given for each [[Solvent|solvent]] in mol dm-3 (mol/l)(M), this is its [[Molar concentration|molar concentration]].

Another useful measure of concentration is for all of the [[Solute|solutes]] in a [[Solvent|solvent]], [[Osmolarity|osmolarity]] or [[Osmolality|osmolality]]

One [[Mole|mole]] of a [[Compound|compound]] contains 6.02 x 1023 molecules, this is [[Avogadro's number|Avogadro's constant]]

'''Concentration (in Molar) can be found using the equation:''' ''Concentration (Molar) = Number of Moles/Volume (dm3)1''
