Glycolysis

Evaluate the anatomical and physiological similarities and differences between skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. Skeletal Muscles are attached to bones. Their functions include: produce skeletal movement, maintain posture and body position, support soft tissues, guard body entrances and exits, maintain body temperature, and store nutrients. They are striated muscles because of their appearances of having bands of actin and myosin that form the sarcomere which is located in the myofibrils.…

Conditions required for bacterial growth and therefore their reproduction are referred to as Extrinsic and Intrinsic factors. Bacteria can grow anywhere in the world including animals and plants, depending on their characteristic, type and so on. Knowing that, it seems like bacteria can grow everywhere once they have correct conditions. However there are a lot of factors that can affect bacterial growth. The factors affecting bacterial growth are the internal and external conditions of the…

It is well known that phosphorus is a major growth limiting plant nutrient for completion of plant life cycle. The exogenous application of P as chemical fertilizer has been found indispensable for the maximized crop yields but continuously increasing cost and non-availability of phosphatic fertilizer is a great barrier to farmers. It is comprehensively reported that most of the soils are sufficient in total P content but the major constraint is the availability of P to plants because it forms…

adequate energy to our brain whose preferred source of energy is glucose, as glucose can cross the blood-brain barrier easily and also the only source of energy for our red blood cells since they lack a mitochondria and can only perform anaerobic glycolysis and derive ATP and in…

The system that PCr creates resynthesizes ADP to ATP is the phosphagen system; CHO aerobically goes through a more complex route via glycolysis and the krebs cycle; anaerobically, pyruvate that hasn’t been broken down fast enough aerobically is converted to lactic acid by lactase dehydrogenase to free up molecules for further assistance in resynthesizing ATP. A limitation of this study…

“As the raw fuel for glycolysis, the universal energy-producing pathway, glucose is phosphorylated by the rate-limiting enzyme glucokinase” (Cartailler, 1). The now modified glucose is further metabolized in the beta cells to create ATP, increasing the ATP:ADP ratio. This increased…

create work. It also talks about ATP. Adenosine triphosphate is the only fuel a cell can use to contract muscle, build new tissue and transports minerals and waste throughout the body. This chapter also talks about the anaerobic system. I talks about Glycolysis which is the chemical process of breaking down glycogen to glucose and it also talks about lactic acid. Lactic acids build up and impede the force generated by muscle and impair coordination. It’s a pain, literally causing that burning…

Different tissues in our body can cross-talk during fasting and fed state via hormonal regulation. Two major hormones, insulin and glucagon, play an important role in regulating metabolic homeostasis by inducing different responses from tissues such as liver, adipose tissue, and muscle. During fed state, insulin promotes glucose uptake in the muscle and adipose tissue and stimulates glycogen and fatty acid synthesis in the liver. At the same time, it inhibits lipolysis and hepatic glycogenolysis…

Within the study of microorganisms, two types of cells are observed; eukaryotic cell and the prokaryotic cell. Each of these cell play a different role based on its distinction; in fact, their distinction is the most important distinction among organisms. Carl Woese in the Introduction to the Archaea UCMP website provided research which would divide prokaryotes into the following two groups: archaea and bacteria. Thus, the development of the three domains was created to include archaea,…

Our cramped house was always filled with people. Due to her role in the refugee community, my mother would at times hold preventive workshops on HIV. The workshop mainly constituted of statistics display, stories, contraceptive distribution but mostly laughter. To the people attending, HIV was just another too familiar danger. I was not allowed to attend any of the workshops due to my age, but my perpetual inquisitive nature led me to the discovery of leftover brochures. While reading the…
