Adenosine diphosphate

help process plant cells to convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy while creating energy-rich carbohydrate molecules into glucose, while respiration cellular break down food molecules to obtain energy and store it into the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules. They both need each other to function. The three main stages of cellular respiration and photosynthesis are: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and electron transport. The first stage of the cellular…

The use of creatine as a nutritional supplement constitute the Position Statement of the Society 3. Methods 1. Subjects 1. Youth 2. Athletes 3. Male 2. Protocols 1. Creatine monohydrate is the most effective ergogenic nutritional supplement currently available to athletes in terms of increasing high-intensity exercise capacity and lean body mass during training. 2. Creatine monohydrate supplementation is not only safe, but possibly beneficial in regard to preventing injury and/or management…

The first type of anxiety I felt was trait anxiety. I had never climbed before in my life prior to this class. In addition to having no prior experience with climbing I am scared of heights. I felt anxiety as soon as it was announced that we would be climbing the rock wall. I was very uneasy in the days leading up to our first climb. The second form of anxiety I felt was state anxiety. As soon as I started to climb I felt the feeling of dread rise up within me. When I first started…

for almost all living organisms is a compound called ATP, or adenosine tri-phosphate. This compound is made of up one adenine and three phosphate molecules which link together to form a structure like this: Adenosine Notice that the three bonds within this molecule become increasingly longer the farther away the phosphate is from the adenosine. This is to represent the fact that the bonds weaken as the distance between the adenosine and phosphates increases. This is important because the…

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the body’s main source of chemical energy. It is produced by breaking down nutrients such as glucose, fatty acids and proteins, which are all found in food. At the start of the race, anaerobic pathways are used to provide a quick source of energy. Most of this energy is derived from the catabolism of fats. Since lipids are more reduced than carbohydrates, they are capable of storing more energy per unit weight. Triacylglycerols are the lipids used for energy…

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…

The mitochondrion is an organelle which produces ATP or energy for all cells. The ATP produced by the mitochondria can be used to measure certain physical activities of fruit flies. In this experiment the development, climbing, flight, and in vitro activity of Drosophilia Melanogaster flies were tested. Three different strands of flies were used. One strand was the wild-type (wt) fly, which had normal mitochondria without any mutations. Another stand was the W501 strain (hybrid) which had…

One of the qualities of lead that make it one of the most highly studied heavy metals is its ability to enter and distributes into the body’s organ systems. Inorganic lead is absorbed by coming into contact with the skin, ingestion, and inhalation.* It is debated whether ingestion of lead or inhalation of lead caused the most significant damage and which one occurs more frequently. The physiological effects of lead can be seen soon after exposure. The uptake of lead in the body is influenced by…

1. Explain how an enzyme works, and how a coenzyme or cofactors may be involved in an enzymatic reaction. An enzyme is a type of protein that is produced by living organism, that also speeds up a chemical reaction without actually being involved in the reaction itself. Reactions occur under mild conditions; enzymes also control the metabolism, by taking out nonspecific side reactions. Enzymes catalyze each step of the chemical reactions in a metabolic pathway. In order for this to happen, all…
