Adenosine

During exercise, our body produces lactic acid as a bi-product in the production of ATP. Referring to the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), eventually, with persistent exercise, our body's metabolism exceeds the oxygen supply and begins to use alternative biochemical processes that do not require oxygen. These processes generate lactic acid, which enters the blood stream. The link between lactic acid and pH is that lactic acid can acidify ones bloodstream, leading to acidosis and…

stiffness. Mortis stems from the Latin term meaning death. Upon death, respiration ceases to occur. Without oxygen, metabolism stops, organs shut down. The body’s main source of energy is the cell production of ATP. Wikipedia’s definition:” Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a nucleoside triphosphate used in cells as a coenzyme often called the "molecular unit of currency" of intracellular energy transfer. ATP transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism”. Muscles are packed with…

and water. Adequate availability of NADH is essential for a cell to perform its core functions properly (Casem, 2016; Khan et al., 2007). The energy generated from NADH during various processes, such as oxidative phosphorylation, is stored as adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP serves as the vital energy source of the cell. The availability of ATP not only influences the ability of cells to perform its functions but also their lifespan. As a result, the degradation of NADH by a toxic drug can…

synthesize via the pancreas, kidneys or liver, It can also be obtained via consumption of meat, which naturally contain creatine. Although non-essential, the body utilizes creatine, which is stored in the bodies muscles, by converting adenosine diphosphate (ADP) into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is…

2. Literature Review 2.1 Scope of Literature Review This review will be centralised around review of relevant literature underpinning research theory, with creatine, golf physiology, senior sport implications and the wider application of ergogenic aids assuming influence. 2.2 What is Creatine? Creatine is a naturally occurring ergogenic acid distributed throughout the body, 95% of which is located in the skeletal muscle, with the remaining 5% located in the brain, liver, kidneys and testes…

The chemical equations of both reactions are the reverse of each other. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water work together with the protein complexes present in the chloroplast and with the aid of the energy coming from the sun to yield glucose and oxygen. Meanwhile, in cellular respiration, glucose is broken down with the aid of oxygen and enzymes present in the mitochondria into carbon dioxide and water, which are the starters of photosynthesis, and produces energy in the form of ATP.…

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the main energy carrier within cells. ATP is a nucleotide and consists of adenine, a ribose sugar and a triphosphate unit. ATP is “an energy-rich molecule because its triphosphate unit contains two phosphoanhydride bonds” and, a significant amount of energy is released when these bonds are broken1. Oxidative phosphorylation is a metabolic pathway whereby mitochondria in living cells generate ATP from the oxidation of nutrients. This process involves the transfer…

Cellular Respiration Cellular Respiration is cells making adenosine, a molecule unit of currency, Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) much organic compounds. The goal of this process is break down pyruvic acid, which is a type of acid that contains carbon. In order for Cellular respiration o to occur it takes 2 steps which are Glycolysis and Aerobic Respiration. Several other types of respirations will appear throughout the essay including electron transport chain, fermentation, alcoholic and lactic…

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…

to pump out protons (H+) for cellular respiration. An enzyme called ATP synthase provided protons energy to make ATP. Protons can only go through ATP synthase in a controlled way to go to the matrix of a mitochondria. ATP synthase makes ATP from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi). In a process called oxidative phosphorylation, ATP is formed as a result of transfer of electrons from NADH and FADH2 to O2 by a series of electron carriers. Together, electron transport chain…
