Cheyne-Stokes respiration

Exercise is physical movement accomplished through the contraction of skeletal muscles. These contractions require significant amounts of energy and constitute a major physiological function. The energy for contractions is provided by ATP which can be synthesized from many different substrates.K The metabolic demands of skeletal muscle incurred through brief and acute exercise and be fulfilled through hydrolysis of creatine phosphate which provides energy to synthesize ATP from ADP. For longer…

Riboflavin contains a tricyclic dimethyl-isoalloxazine ring (Flavin Nucleus) that is conjugated to a 1-Carbon ribityl, an alcohol derived from pentose sugar D-ribose, is attached at the 9 position of isoalloxazine nucleus as shown in Figure 1. The metabolically active coenzymes of riboflavin are riboflavin -5-phosphate or Flavin Mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) that participate in many vital oxidation reduction processes. Catalytic sites of some enzymes are covalently…

succinyl-CoA synthetase, succinate dehydrogenase, fumarase, malate dehydrogenase, and citrate synthase. The Cori Cycle has many parts to it ultimately leading to the breakdown of glucose and the diffusion of lactate with the liver. In the Cori cycle there is the conversion of glucose to lactate through anaerobic glycolysis in muscle cells, the diffusion of lactate from muscle cells into the bloodstream then being transported to the liver. To the conversion of lactate to glucose through…

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…

Sophie, Rebecca, and Indrani Scrpit: I: (Hello; Hi) We studied Cellular Respiration. For our project, we made a working model. This box (points to box) represents a cell. As you can see, we’ve drawn the parts of the cell on the box. R: The equation for cellular respiration is Glucose + Oxygen-----------> Carbon Dioxide+ Water+ Energy. First, glucose, which is in the cell, (drops into mitochondria) is the first of the two raw materials used. The next is oxygen (drops whatever oxygen is…

of energy in our body?``, from the topics we learned we have to make a connection through different things to get our answer. As we need to understand that energy in our body is ATP, the energy that cells use, is produced by cellular respiration. Cellular respiration requires oxygen and glucose to happen. From that we can see that ATP is formed mainly from glucose being broken down, we then trace the glucose to plants, where it is formed by photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is where sunlight energy…

Making ATP from Free fatty Acids:- The other two energy substrates, FFAs and AAs, bypass glycolysis and ultimately enter the TCA cycle/oxidative phosphorylation as pyruvate, acetyl CoA, or different components of the TCA cycle. FFAs are released from adipose tissue by lipolysis and circulate in blood bound to serum albumin. Transport proteins then translocate FFAs into cells. FFAs are metabolized in mitochondria by the repetitive, cyclic process of β oxidation. This requires the transport of…

Using a specific example discuss a possible target for the development of anti-mycobacterial therapeutics ATP synthase is a main enzyme used to produce ATP in respiration of a cell. It makes use of a proton gradient in the mitochondrial cell membrane to generate ATP. By transporting protons back across the membrane, using ADP and a phosphate ion to create ATP. Normally most bacteria can gain enough ATP to grow optimally through substrate level phosphorylation, however it has been shown that M.…

phosphorylation. The Acetyl CoA is converted to a five carbon compound through the loss of once carbon dioxide and two hydrogen ions, then through the decarboxylation of the five carbon compound, a four carbon compound is formed. The final stage of aerobic respiration is the Electron Transport Chain which produces thirty four ATP per molecule of glucose. It takes place in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. NADH and FADH2 pass electrons to the Electron Transport Chain and these pass through…

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell that act like a digestive system which consumes nutrients, breaks them down, and manufactures energy for the cell. This chemical processes of the cell is known as cellular respiration (1). Most of cellular respiration happens in the mitochondria. Mitochondria typically float around free throughout the cell. Some cells have hundreds of mitochondria, like muscle cells, while others have little to none, like nNeurons (1). The quantity of mitochondria a…
