Glycolysis

Side effects of Whey Protein Sufficiently devouring protein is one of the necessities to assemble muscle, yet consuming a lot of it can build up a percentage of the known whey protein side effects. A typical individual has a necessity of something like 0.5 grams of protein per pound of his or her body weight. A man that is attempting to construct muscle requires all the more, around 1g every pound. Proficient jocks can take even 2 g every pound. Taking whey protein supplements can help you…

Polylactic Acid Plastics have played a major role in shaping modern society, ultimately improving the quality of life. Making up most things man-made, plastics surround us every day. They possess unique characteristics; plastics can be tough and rigid yet still flexible and can be opaque yet transparent. The building blocks of plastics are small organic molecules often known as monomers, which then join to other monomers creating long molecule chains called polymers in a process called…

During a soccer match the ATP-PC energy system is the dominant energy source for high intensity activities of up to 10 seconds. This is dominant when an outfield player is jumping for a header or a goalkeeper is diving to save the ball. The anaerobic glycolysis system is the highest contribution when working 30-60 seconds and near maximum effort. The soccer player would reach their lactate threshold and have blood lactate levels increase. In a game of soccer, the anaerobic energy system is the…

The hypothesis in the beginning of this experiment was that various carbohydrates have different rates of respiration by a yeast culture raised on glucose. The differences in time for respiration to peak for the other sugars were due to enzyme regulation called induction. This is the time required for the glucose fed yeast culture to alter its enzymatic machinery to process sugars other than glucose for oxidative respiration. The different rates of respiration for each sugar was measured by the…

two phases (Cuthberson et al., 2001), the first being 48-72 hours after the incident. There is initially a decrease in oxygen consumption and metabolic rate and then the second phase occurs within 5 days after being burnt. This is due to increased glycolysis, proteolysis, lipolysis and substrate cycling. As the body will be recovering from injuries from burns there is a need for degradation of damaged cells and the production of new cells to replace the damaged ones which will in turn cause…

Staphylococcus aureus is a part of the family Staphylococcaceae. Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive coccus that forms in clusters. There are over 30 staphylococcus organisms but S. aureus causes the largest amount of staph infections. The staph infections can include; “skin infections, pneumonia, food poisoning, toxic shock syndrome, and blood poisoning (bacteremia)” (NIH). Staph infections can present in numerous manners including; pimples or boils. An individual can be a carrier of S.…

Weight-loss programs, whether commercial or personal, are aimed at individuals looking to lose weight. Choose a weight-loss program (0.25 marks) and evaluate whether the plan offers a nutritionally sound way to lose weight using the principles of energy metabolism and energy balance (1.25 marks)(Note, you will need to explain the weight-loss program, the details of the diet promoted, how it may “manipulate” metabolism to shift energy balance, and what body region (e.g. fat, muscle, water) is…

Introduction: Prokaryotic cells are cells that do not have membrane bound organelles, such as ribosomes and include organisms such as bacteria. In contrast, eukaryotic cells contains organelles and are often more complex organisms (Karp, 2010). These cells have some similar features such as the plasma membrane and the use of ribosomes to make proteins. However, there are also significant differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Whilst the prokaryotic/ eukaryotic…

Ostensibly, it would seem to be only the opposite of photosynthesis when examining its formula: C6H1206 + 602 → 6CO2 + 6H20 + ATP. However, it is much more complex and it involves many different stages. For one, glycolysis is the conversion of glucose into pyruvate. More specifically, it begins with a six carbon hexose sugar that phosphorylates, acquiring two phosphates--usually from ATP that is used in order to initiate this process. This then is split evenly (a…

Concussion Risks in the NFL Among the potential risks and injuries that may result from playing professional football, brain injuries may be some of the most severe because of their short and long-term effects on the individual. The brain is very susceptible to injuries from the harsh impacts that come with playing football. Concussions are classified as a mild-degree traumatic brain injury that results from one’s body or head being hit hard enough to cause the brain to shake or twist inside…
