Adenosine diphosphate

What will stay lit longer a lemon light bulb or a lime? The light bulb is lit up because of the acid in the fruit. If the lime has more acid in it then, it will keep the light bulb glowing longer. To tell this you need to know what has more acid in it. The light bulb changes the acid into electricity to power it. The light bulb uses conductivity, acidity, and electricity. Acidity is a source of electricity and comes from some fruits and vegetables. It is a substance that over time with help…

First off, before we relate anything, we need to know what ATP is. ATP is the body’s source of energy, it is produced naturally by the body and is essential for all actions by the body also actions that take place inside the body. ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is a very unstable bond so when it is hydrolysed (the chemical breakdown of a compound due to reaction with water) a great amount of energy is released. So in conclusion everything you do, every action that take place requires Atp…

In this lab, we should expect changes in the rate of cellular respiration based on the available fuel source in the different seeds. We know that aerobic respiration requires oxygen gas and an organic molecule, and produces carbon dioxide, water, and energy. The goal of cellular respiration is to harvest ATP. However, the carbon dioxide can be measured using a gas sensor. Since we know that more reactants generally equals more products, more organic molecules should result in more carbon dioxide…

supported the hypothesis that glucose is the most effective fuel for cellular respiration. Introduction Cellular respiration breaks down glucose (or other energy rich organic compounds) with the use of oxygen to obtain energy in the useable form of adenosine three phosphate (ATP), and produces carbon…

Cellular respiration is the process of “breaking down organic molecules to release their stored energy” usually using glucose, and convert it into ATP through an aerobic process. (Upadhyay 2018) Cellular fermentation is also a part of cellular respiration, but it is an anaerobic process which means it does not require oxygen. There are two discussed types of fermentation: Alcohol Fermentation in which “glycolysis converts glucose in to pyruvate, producing NADH and FADH2, then pyruvate is broken…

1. Flavin monooxygenase (FMO) and cytochrome P450 (CYP450) are both enzymes that are involved in phase I metabolism. They are classified as microsomal enzymes that require oxygen and NADPH. These enzymes are involved in the conversion of lipophilic compounds to more hydrophilic metabolites by adding molecular oxygen, which ensures rapid excretion. There are genetic variants with both classes of enzymes, which may contribute to interindividual variability in drug response. Some of the…

Should Creatine be Banned? Many athletes are taking this supplement Creatine to enhance their power and speed by increasing muscle repair. There are two questions that I will be answering. Is Creatine safe to consume and should be banned? To answer this question you must first know what Creatine is and what it does. Creatine is a supplement that is able to increase the rate of muscle repair. Creatine reduces fatigue and can help you get stronger faster. There are many contradictions when it…

Results: Distinguishing the Interactions in the Fructose 1,6-Bisphosphate Binding Site of Human Liver Pyruvate Kinase that Contribute to Allostery The overall design of the experiment involved two ways in which protein activation could be altered, in this case, the activation of the human liver pyruvate kinase (hL-PYK). One of the methods used to alter activation was to use effector molecules other than fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (Fru-1,6-BP), which may have the ability to attach to the…

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,…

I. INTRODUCTION: Clopidogrel is one of the major drugs used in the treatment of Acute Coronary Syndrome. Along with Aspirin it is the standard of care in Percutaneous Coronary Interventions with stenting, when a long term dual antiplatelet treatment is needed. However the response to clopidogrel shows wide inter-individual variations. Various studies have shown that the polymorphisms in the genes responsible for Clopidogrel absorption and metabolism are a major factor for these variations.…
