Cellular respiration

There are huge gaps in the history of running but it appears throughout the courses of the years. In the past people ran while hunting for food, but with time running became a form of training, sport, and a hobby. Running may seem simple, but there is a lot more going on than you think. Long distance runners, run for long periods of time focusing on endurance which uses the long-term energy system. While sprinters run 10-15 seconds at full speed, focusing on speed using the immediate energy…

The laws of heredity discovered by G. Mendel are similar for all complex life creatures and he concluded that genes come in pairs one from each parent inherited as distinct units. Also, the mathematical patterns of inheritance as well as genes segregation and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits were determined during his genetic experiments with pea plants and outlined three laws oh inheritance. First, the Law of Dominance is expressed where one allele dominates…

Title: Importance of photosynthesis in agriculture. Introduction: photosynthesis is the process by which plants and some bacteria convert energy from the sun into food or chemical energy, This is how plants survive. This is the chemical reaction that takes place inside the leaf of a plant. This is what makes plants green and healthy.Photosynthesis has a vital role in agriculture. It allows crops to turn energy from the sun into a food source it helps the growth of the crop. It provides…

1. Introduction Hydroxynitrile lyases (HNL, EC 4.1.2.x) are enzymes which mediate the release of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and aldehyde or ketone from cyanohydrins [1]. These HNL catalyse enantioselective synthesis and cleavage of cyanohydrins [2]. The cyanohydrins and their derivatives are finding wide applications in industries like pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and cosmetics since these can be readily converted into other important molecules like α-hydroxy carboxylic acids, α-hydroxy ketones…

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS Prior to capture the P.putida behavior in metabolic modelling experiments, Growth and productivity level of PHAs in Pseudomonas putida was assessed by various types of carbon sources in shake flask and batch cultivation. In the PHA production process, productivity level is influenced by the availability and types of carbon source Production of PHA in shake flask condition Shake flask cultivation of P.putida was carried out with various types of carbon sources.…

Touch football is a physically demanding sport requiring the extensive use of many systems of the body. It is important for an athlete to properly train and develop these energy systems to perform to their highest potential. I have constructed a training program in order to develop upon my two weakest areas, muscular power and the combination of speed and agility. The average to poor results I received during fitness testing reflected my performance in the vertical jump test, 40m sprint, and the…

The article “ When Did Photosynthesis Emerge on Earth?” was written by the principal investigator of the Ames Research Center team of the NASA Astrobiology Institute, David Des Marais. His experience has led him to publish more than 160 technical articles and chapters on many research topics such as the biogeochemical carbon cycle and the early evolution of the Earth and its biosphere. In this particular article, Des Marais establishes that life dates back to 3800 years ago and that not only…

Cell respiration is affected when the heart stops. Cells are using up ATP. Therefore, carbon dioxide is building up in the cells and the PH levels cannot balance themselves. Glucose is needed to start glycolysis. Glycolysis is a series of chemical reactions that produces ATP from the glucose. Oxygen is needed for the mitochondria. The mitochondria are referred to as the powerhouse of cells. Carbon dioxide is not being released. The cells begin to die and the transport pump then stops working.…

The purpose of the cellular metabolism lab is to determine the effects of inhibitors and other variables on the rate of metabolism in the Krebs Cycle. Inhibitors compete with the substrate to bind to the enzyme, thus slowing down the production of FADH2. When the production of FADH2 is slowed down, the reaction will proceed too slowly for metabolic purposes. In this lab, the enzyme that was catalyzing the reaction was the bean extract. To mimic the FAD that is used in the Krebs cycle, we used…

In mammals, many functions of the body are made possible with the help of ATP. ATP is made is bulk in the mitochondria, thus, the body relies heavily on the mitochondria’s supply of ATP to make life possible (McCormack, 523). Regulation of this process, by default, is important as well. The body regulates the oxidative metabolism through placing in the regulator sites, that can increase or decrease the production of ATP through changing the concentration of (McCormack, 523). The…
