Adenosine diphosphate

The molecule Lactose has the biological function of being used as energy in the body, like a carbohydrate. When you consume it, you break it down into glucose then galactose. You use enzymes to break it into these two parts, which releases energy throughout the body. You can use other carbohydrates without an ill effect, therefore you don’t really need to use lactose. The common name is Lactose, the IUPAC name is β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→4)-D-glucose. Its formula is C12H22O11. The etymology of…

A redox reaction is a type of reaction that results in the exchange of one or more electrons leaving one product oxidized and one product reduced. The product that becomes reduced gains an electron, and the product that loses an electron becomes oxidized. This process can be simply thought of as a chemical reaction where electrons are transferred. Redox reactions occur as a way to transfer energy in the form of electrons. This happens in several biological processes, including cellular…

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and other organisms create energy. Light energy is converted into chemical energy that can be stored and used. CO2, water and light are converted into glucose and oxygen. The general chemical formula for this is, CO2 + H2O + light energy → Glucose + O2. In this experiment, we will test the relationship between the rate of photosynthesis and the water consumed by the plant; we will be testing tap water–for a control, sugar water and salt water. If we…

1.0 Introduction The Daintree rainforest, a region located in tropical far north Queensland, is the biggest continuous rainforest in Australia (refer to figure 1 for location on map). Around 1,200 square kilometres in size, the Daintree rainforest is home to fast flowing streams and waterfalls to mountain ranges and dense rainforests, along with a variety of landscapes and a range of different and native flora and fauna. The forest is along the north coastline of the Daintree river, with…

The basic function of Lipolysis was discovered in early 1900s [1]. However, the proteins and enzymes involved in the process took a lot of time to identify its exact function and property. Ruford Zechner, a Biochemical professor at University of Graz, made a great contribution in the area of lipid catabolism and identified the properties of several important metabolic lipases involved in each step of the triglyceride hydrolysis into fatty acids. This led to the discovery of adipose-triglyceride…

The muscle and connective tissue is found in the oesophagus. This is because the smooth muscle contracts which helps to move food along the. The cartilage is found in the esophagus is because it provides support and flexibility when the food moves. The oesophagus is where the food travels towards the stomach so that it can be broken down which then the body uses for energy. The nucleus controls the cell activities inside the cell. Mitochondria are needing to give energy to the cell and tissue.…

Mitochondrion is where the biochemical processes for cellular aerobic respiration occurs, this is what makes it one of the most important organelles of a cell. Aerobic respiration transforms glucose into the chemical adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is needed for energy in…

For football, the requirement of this sport is not high than glycolysis and oxidative because of the movement. The movement that needed for this sport in ATP-PC energy is sprinting, jumping, kicking, dribbling, passing, catching (keeper) and heading. That the movement the needed for usage of ATP-PC. This energy system is use for high-intensity short bursts which mean it use in short period only and not for long period. For example, the players want to sprint to catch the ball. The phase from he…

The predicted results support the stated hypothesis. As we increase the concentration of Fernaldia in the group of neurons, we can find a decrease in the concentration of neurotransmitters in the vesicles and a decrease and an increase in the concentration of degraded neurotransmitter components in the cytosol. This supports the statement that there are fewer neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft since there are fewer neurotransmitters in the synaptic vesicles. Alternative hypothesis:…

Boronic acids have attracted attention as an alternative receptor to enzymes for saccharide detection (e.g., glucose oxidases for glucose detection).58-60 The enzyme-based sensing has the disadvantages that, since it is based on the rate of the reaction between the enzyme and the analyte, this approach is sensitive to various factors that affect the enzyme activity and the mass transport of the analyte, it consumes the analyte, and it requires mediators; in contrast, the boronic acid-based…
