Slide Two- Aerobic Metabolism Metabolism is vital to the body, as it converts proteins, carbohydrates and fats into energy. Aerobic metabolism requires oxygen to function, unlike anaerobic metabolism (Tang, nd). The oxygen breaks down glucose to release energy in the form of ATP, producing carbon dioxide and water as bi-products. The process of aerobic metabolism includes glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain (Pass My Exams, nd). Slide Three- Pyruvate…

glucose due to its high Km value. During fed state when the blood glucose level is above 6mM, insulin stimulates glucokinase transcription and availability. The hormone also stimulates fatty acid synthesis in the liver mitochondria by activating acetyl-coA…

intermediate product, including N-acetyl-p-toluidine, p-acetamidobenzoic acid, and p-aminobenzoic acid, was checked for yield, presence, and purity through weighing, taking IR and NMR spectrums, and determining the melting point. Thin Layer Chromatography was used to ensure the completion of the final reaction from p-aminobenzoic acid to benzocaine. The yield of the first step from p-toluidine to N-acetyl-p-toluidine was 91.9%. The yield of the second step from N-acetyl-p-toluidine to…

structure then Acetyl-Coa wich contains Production and possible fates then Krebs Cycle wich contains reactions and regulation and finally Glyoxylate cycle. For the general overwiew of cellular respiration we will talk about cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is an aerobic phase of catabolism in which organic fuel molecule are oxidi-zed to H2O and CO2.Cellular respiration occurs in three major stages. The stage one is Acetyl-CoA production with the Glycolysis, The stage two is Acetyl-CoA…

Carbohydrates are the molecular compounds that are made of three elements that include hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen (Baxter 10). The glucose and the sucrose are essential but are comparatively small molecules with RNA, DNA, glycoproteins, glycolipids, and ATP as other molecules. Carbohydrates are called the sugars in many cases, which provide a source of energy for the body cells, for instance, glucose and starch. The giant carbohydrates are building block, for instance, glycogen and cellulose.…

L-ornithine acetyltransferase (OATase, encoded by argJ; EC 2.3.1.35), which catalyzes the conversion of N-acetyl-L-ornithine and L-glutamate to L-ornithine and N-acetyl-L-glutamate (NAG). NAG kinase (NAGK, encoded by argB; EC 2.7.2.8) then phosphorylates NAG in the second step of the pathway. Besides OATase and NAGK, argC-encoded N-acetyl-L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde dehydrogenase and argD-encoded N-acetyl-L-ornithine aminotransferase are critical for the conversion of L-glutamate to L-ornithine…

matrix of the mitochondria. There, before entering the citric acid cycle, the pyruvate undergoes a transition stage, in which the two pyruvates are converted into two acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA), two carbon dioxide molecules, and two NADH. Then, during the series of eight reactions that make up the citric acid cycle, the two acetyl-coA molecules are oxidized, yielding two more molecules of carbon dioxide and 2…

is inhibited by high levels of Acetyl CoA and ATP, this is activated by fructose 1 6-bisphosphate. The product pyruvate is transported from the cytosol to the mitochondrial membranes into the matrix, this process is activated by ADP and AMP. Most pyruvate formed is converted to Acetyl CoA which then enters the Citric Acid Cycle. The citric acid cycle (CAC) takes place in the mitochondrial matrix inside the double mitochondrial membrane. Within this process the acetyl groups are oxidized Thus…

mechanism, the double bond on the nucleophile anisole (methoxybenzene) attacks the acetyl electrophile. The acetyl compound is then bound to the anisole in the para position, which created the product p-methoxyacetophenone. Since anisole is an activator (electron donor), the acetyl could have bound to either the ortho or para position (or in the meta position, but it not as likely). However, the reason that acetyl was not bound to the ortho position was because the para position demonstrated the…

There are many mechanisms of epigenetics, including such as de/acetylation and methylation of histones, hyper methylation of CpG islands and phosphorylation etc. Epigenetics can be both spontaneous and hereditary, with some forms of epigenetics, such as histone acetylation, being passed on through gametes. Some forms of epigenetics have large consequences, leading to some serious conditions e.g. Prader-Willi syndrome, whilst some can have longer term ramifications for future generations e.g.…
