Glycolysis

Chrysanthemum belliam The Chrysanthemum belliam is an organism that belongs to the Domain Eukarya and Plantae Kingdom. Chrysanthemum are flowering plants native of northern eastern Europe and East Asia. However, this particular species of Chrysanthemum, belliam, was recently discovered in the western part of Africa, around the Gold Coast. The coastal climate of this region in Africa has produced an abundance of Chrysanthemum belliam, so lets take an indepth look at this beautiful unique…

compounds to make carbon dioxide and water. There are three steps in cellular respiration: glycolysis, kerb cycle, and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis takes place outside the mitochondria in the cytoplasm. Glycolysis breaks down a molecule of glucose which has six carbon, down into two molecules of pyruvate which have three carbon in them. This will generate two ATP for one glucose molecule. Glycolysis also creates a chemical called NADH. The pyruvate will diffuse into the mitochondria…

Renae Hallinan is an elite netballer, playing for the Adelaide Thunderbirds in the ANZ Championship League and the Australian Diamonds in the World Championships. Renae is required to work at a fast pace with an extremely high level of skill, as considerable demands are placed upon her anaerobic energy systems, with aerobic fitness assisting in her recovery between bursts of play. Netball games consist of four 15 minute quarters. There is a 3 minute break between the first and second quarter and…

ABSTRACT? As the rate of obesity in the US increases, the need for a practicable, healthy way of life is becoming more and more important. Exercise is often thought of as the key to weight loss. However, many overweight individuals don’t have the motivation or time to go biking or running for an hour every day. To overcome this problem and to help make exercise more manageable, high interval intensity exercise (HIIE) can be a practical solution. HIIE is an exercise strategy that prescribes short…

Cells are extremely small, but vital to life and although they are extremely complex they have a common structure that enables different cells to perform different jobs. Cells make up every living organism. Mitochondria are a very important part of the cell because the mitochondria are what provide the cell with energy. In fact, a recent study by Boengler, Kosiol, Mayr, Schulz, and Rohrbach (2017) found “A decline in mitochondrial content and mitochondrial function plays a major role in…

The heart is the organ that provides both blood and oxygen throughout the whole body. First, deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium via the vena cava and when the pressure inside the atrium becomes higher than that of the right ventricle, the tricuspid valve opens and allows the blood to flow from high to low pressure. The valve then closes to ensure blood only flows in one direction (Tandy 2017). After oxygenation, the blood enters the left atrium via the pulmonary veins and fills it until…

from the pancreas but insulin also helps glucose get transported into the cells (Quesada et al., 2008). The body uses glucose as a primary source of energy through a variety of metabolic reactions. Glucose is a sugar that gets broken down through glycolysis into ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) inside of the cell (Stanfield, 2013). When there is an excess of glucose, the liver converts it to glycogen through a process called glycogenesis (Gebel, 2012). After we eat there is a high level of sugar…

repair the damaged muscle tissues. Glycolysis, the metabolic process of converting glucose to energy, is the primary source of ATP synthesis during short duration exercise bouts. Intense exercise rapidly depletes ATP reserves, and muscles begin to fatigue and become damaged post-exercise. As a result, the body must replenish and repair muscle fibers in order for them to properly heal and function.…

Cellular respiration goes through three parts: Glycolysis, the Citric-Acid Cycle, and Oxidative Phosphorylation. The first process, Glycolysis, is basically where the reactants are being broken down into a compound known as pyruvate. This actually happens in the cytosol, then once glucose is broken down into pyruvate, and as it enters the mitochondrion…

Introduction: DNP and research question The organic compound 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) is a crystalline solid with the molecular formula C6H4N2O5. The molecule is soluble in water to some extent and is fully soluble in sodium and potassium hydroxide solutions. The compound can also be explosive. It is usually used in dye, weed killers, wood preserver, photographic development among other things and it has even been used as a weight loss agent. In fact, it has been claimed to be the king of the…
