Glycolysis

becomes phosphorylated to glucose 6-phosphate. The process is stimulated by insulin in muscle cells. Cellular respiration occurs, which is the oxidation of glucose to CO2 and H20, involving glycoses, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis occurs to form pyruvic acid. When oxygen is in short supply, such as in aerobic conditions, pyruvic acid is reduced to lactic acid. Pyruvic acid enters the Krebs cycle and energy which was stored in the glucose molecules and then to…

the body. The citric acid cycle, sometimes called the Krebs cycle, provides the final common pathway for the aerobic metabolism of nutrients. The electron transport system is where oxidation of electrons from the hydrogen atoms generated during glycolysis and the Krebs cycle take place. The electrons are used to reduce oxygen, which combines with…

1.1.1 Describe photosynthesis and how it works in internal plant processes. Photosynthesis is a process which plants make food from sunlight. The plants convert light energy to chemical energy. The converted chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water. There are two main process in photosynthesis. (Light reaction and dark reaction) Light reactions produce organic energy molecules (ATP and NADPH). Chlorophyll which is in chloroplast…

A year previously the creatinine level of the patient was taken and was safely in the normal range as shown in figure 6. After admission a EP was ordered and the results for creatinine were high for the patient as an individual despite being in the normal range which showed that AKI stage one was occurring which required immediate attention. Then the creatinine then entered in a sharp decline as the patient was on an IV drip and not eating or drinking. Also there was lots of excretion due to…

Philosophy Paper Every student has a different approach to learning new things throughout their life. The different approaches each student takes is due to his or her understanding and the manner in which the new information is processed in his or her brain. As time passes, there has been more research on the element of philosophy and the various philosophies teachers use to teach their students. I personally believe in using the educational philosophy of progressivism to teach today’s…

Muscle fatigue is the decline in physical ability to generate force. This can be caused by vigorous exercise over an extended period of time. The muscles need to have maximum voluntary action to perform actions. Muscle fatigue is when the muscle activity exceeds the tissue substrate and oxygenation capacity. (Biology-online.org, 2009) caused by persistent actions or the repeated action over a long period of time. There are two main energy systems within the body. A system with oxygen used,…

pre competition static stretching is believed to reduce the risk of injury during the game. The fast paced game of basketball comprises of high intensity activities and movements. These activities involve increased blood lactate concentration and glycolysis, the energy generating pathway. Hence, the physiological requirements of this game are high (McInnes, Carlson, Jones & McKenna,…

The people in U.S have high risk of Breast cancer due the high carbohydrate and high glutamine diet consumption in spite of various awareness campaigns and scientific research. INTRODUCTION The breast comprises of glands called lobules that produce milk and thin tubes called ducts that carry the milk from the lobules to the nipple. Breast tissue also contains fat and connective tissue, lymph nodes, and blood vessels. Breast cancer usually starts off in the inner lining of milk ducts or the…

accurately registered anatomic and functional images can be acquired in a single examination Current designs constitute a CT scanner in tandem with a PET scanner, with a common patient bed for both systems. Although in most designs, the scanner appears externally to be a single device, internally there is little or no mechanical integration (Fig.12) Limitations and advantages of anatomical and metabolic imaging: Limitations of anatomical imaging include; inability to determine if a mass is…

Abstract: Introduction: Cellular respiration is a reaction that the majority of living organisms partake in to get adenosine triphosphate (ATP), by obtaining chemical energy, to synthesize in three different phases; glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain. Both glycolysis and the citric acid cycle are anaerobic pathways which means that oxygen is not need to form energy. However the electron transport chain is aerobic and that is due to the oxidative phosphorylation…
