reactions can occur in the cell’s cytoplasm, and glycolysis will then take the molecule and break it down. The stage of cellular respiration is Krebs cycle, this cycle happens in mitochondria in eukaryotes and also in cytoplasm in prokaryotes. There are many steps to this cycle however enzymes, and catalysts have a big role in individual reactions. The pyruvic acid in created by reactions in glycolysis go through multiple reactions and create carbon dioxide and other products. The next stage in…

Stephanie Riccardo Miranda Kearney 90126 What is DNP? Even though cellular respiration has different parts to it that contributes to different outcomes, it has an overall goal. The overall goal of cell respiration is to make ATP and water. Cellular respiration requires oxygen and it generates carbon dioxide. Gases are exchanged with the environment. Energy is neither created nor destroyed, so energy starts in chemical bonds of organic molecules, but ends up in ATP bonds. Chemical energy is…

Introduction What are enzymes and how do they affect reactions? Enzymes force reactions, in cells, to maintain a speed necessary for life. Enzymes can also be considered catalysts because they require the reactions to arise faster without themselves changing. For this experiment, the substrate in the enzymatic reaction was sucrase, and it will be causing sucrose to change resulting in the following equation: Sucrose → Glucose + Fructose Where the arrow is in the equation indicates the enzyme,…

kinase from Klebsiella pneumoniae). We would then purify all three proteins and record fluorescence energy values when bound to citrate for future reference. It is also crucial to test the purified proteins affinity against pyruvate and other citric acid cycle metabolites such as succinate and α-ketoglutarate, to prevent false positive results from occurring (Ewald,…

How Does CoQ10 work? What is it? Before you can understand how Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) works, you need to know the basics about the substance. 1) It is found within almost every cell of your body. 2) It is naturally produced and synthesized by your body 3) It has two forms; ubiquinol (active) and ubiquinone (oxidized) 4) It is found in higher concentrations in your organs, including your heart, kidneys, and liver How does it work? 1) It generates power, or energy inside your cells to boost energy…

year (10 Thirst Quenching facts). However, it made me wonder, what ingredients were in Gatorade, and how healthy they are. Surprisingly, there are many ingredients that go into the drink. Ingredients that I did know were water, sugar, salt, and citric acid. There were also several mystery ingredients that I did not know, such as Dextrose, Sodium Citrate, Monopotassium Phosphate, and Gum Arabic. This led me to research, what were these ingredients are all about. The first Ingredient that was a…

Key concepts Chemistry Chemical reaction Acids Bases Water Introduction Have you ever had a refreshing bath with bubbles or bath salts? What if you could use chemistry to create a bath-time treat that incorporated both fizzing bubbles and soothing salts? Such a combination does exist, and it's called a bath bomb. If you have never experienced one, these "bombs" become fizzy when they touch the water. Why? It is due to a chemical reaction taking place between different ingredients within the…

cornstarch to the bath bomb recipe will affect the overall outcome. If there is more cornstarch added to the bath bomb, then the bath bomb will be less fizzy because cornstarch acts as a dry filler that controls the reaction between baking soda and citric acid. The experiment calls for two different recipes. The first one was the normal recipe which blue was used as the coloring. The other recipe was the extra cornstarch recipe which red was used as the coloring. The extra cornstarch also had…

Water Bath Canning Vs. Pressure Canning Food preservation has become very popular with food costs rising over the years. Even though freezing food is easy, convenient and fast, canning has become popular due to the long shelf life that canning affords. When canning, many decisions need to be made prior to starting the process. When I decided to start canning, I had to choose between the water bathing method or pressure canning method. When water bathing, the filled jars are prepared and…
