    Lipolysis

    • 565 Words
    • 3 Pages

    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…

    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…

    this theory with the “mitochondrial theory of aging” (Lee and Wei 2012, Bereiter-Hahn 2014), proposing that mitochondria accumulates oxidative damage caused by ROS toxicity as the organism ages. The reactive oxygen species produced from metabolic respiration are associated with detrimental effects on mitochondrial function. Mitochondrial dysfunction then leads to abnormal amounts of ROS production, which further propagates oxidative damage. Mitochondria are an intracellular organelle essential…

    5. Normal muscle contraction occurs in a series of steps, and they are as follows: First, a motor neuron must have acetylcholine released in the synaptic cleft. The acetylcholine is then able to bind with receptors found in the cell membrane. This binding causes the Ca+/Na+ channels to open. The terminal cisternae then releases calcium into the muscle fiber. Calcium will begin to bind to troponin. The troponin moves tropomyosin out of the way since it blocks the actin’s active site. Next, actin…

    Effect of Sodium Bicarbonate on Photosynthesis Introduction Photosynthesis forms carbon dioxide into oxygen, making it an essential for life. (2) The purpose of doing this lab was to find out how sodium bicarbonate concentrations effected the rate of photosynthesis. (1) In photosynthesis, CO2 (carbon dioxide) is a reactant. CO2 is also produced by sodium bicarbonate. (3) This makes the addition of sodium bicarbonate to prompt the process of photosynthesis. This should cause the reaction to…

    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…

    Caffeine Respiration Rate

    • 804 Words
    • 4 Pages

    In regards to both the mean change in respiration rate and the mean change in pulse rate, the results indicate no statistical significance in difference (Appendix 2.1 & 2.2). Consequently, the null hypothesis is rejected in favour of the alternative hypothesis stating that acute caffeine consumption does not increase heart and respiratory rate, and therefore does not elevate aerobic performance. These results are not consistent however with related research that asserts caffeine as a stimulant…

    Muscle Contraction

    • 360 Words
    • 2 Pages

    II.I How it is use? Muscle contraction requires the use of ATP molecules. Indeed, muscle cells are composed of contractile elements: sarcomeres. Muscle contraction is due to the slippage of myosin fibers on the actin fibers. For this, the head of the myosin binds to the troponin site of the actin filament. Then, an ATP molecule will bind to myosin to separate actin and myosin and thus allow its attachment to the neighboring troponin site due to hydrolysis of ATP in ADP + Pi. This creates a…

    generated by plants in a process called photosynthesis. We eat food and breathe in oxygen. The larger food molecules become subunits (such as glucose) in a chemical reaction called breakdown. Finally, our bodies use oxygen and glucose in the cellular respiration process to generate energy for our cells. Photosynthesis is the process in which plants get energy from the sun to transform water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose sugars. Almost all the oxygen we breathe comes from green…
