Glycolysis

Introduction With the pet owner being in complete control of their canine’s nutrition, the dog’s food can have a vast impact on any recovery. When friends and family are being treated for cancer they may have experienced many symptoms. Ranging from depression, loss of appetite, confusion, and exhaustion. Some effects from treatment can cause behaviors that are counterproductive in the recovery. For example, not drinking enough water because of sleeping throughout a day, can easily cause…

Homeostasis - Blood Glucose Regulation Homeostasis refers to the (relatively) constant physiological state of the body despite fluctuations in the external environment. Homeostasis maintains a relatively constant physiological state by keeping functions such as temperature, blood pressure, pH levels, glucose concentration and many more of the body’s systems at safe levels. For example if a person has low or high blood sugar (hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia) their internal state is in danger…

This research study looked at the role of lipogenesis in sepsis. Sepsis is a very serious condition in which a pathogen, bacterial, viral, or fungal, invades the bloodstream and triggers a high inflammatory response by the immune system. The body is unable to remove the pathogen which causes an overproduction of cytokines eventually leading to organ injury and death. As the third leading cause of death in the United States, Australia, and Asia, it is important to develop a treatment for sepsis.¹…

into macronutrients and macronutrients. Macronutrients are the energy providers that are further processed into glucose, amino acids and fatty acids. Unlike glucose, fats and amino acids need to be first converted into an intermediate product of glycolysis…

source until the aerobic system gets going. This energy system is for high intensity lasting up to 2 minutes. Here, ATP is made by the partial breakdown of glucose and glycogen (sugar in you blood from food and drink). This is caused by anaerobic glycolysis. No oxygen is used in the anaerobic system to create energy, however the energy produced from the anaerobic system is a by product along with lactic acid which is what makes your muscles feel tight and sore after you have done something at a…

The research work regarding the chemical processes within/relating to living organisms is said to be biochemistry, also known as biological chemistry. The complication of life can occur during biochemical process, if we control the information flow through biochemical signaling and through metabolism chemical energy flow. Various study fields like botany, medicines, genetics, Etc.which are areas of life science, are engrossed in research related to biochemical because biochemistry has made it…

Lipid Digestion: Absorption and Transport of Lipids Lipid digestion occurs primarily in the small intestine though a small amount of lipids are broken down in the stomach. Special enzymes called lipases breakdown triglycerides the most abundant lipids in the diet and phospholipids. Lingual lipase secreted by glands in the tongue and gastric lipase secreted by gastric chief cells hydrolyze a small amount of triglycerides into fatty acids and monoglycerides. As chyme enters the duodenum from the…

Many plants, such as Spinacia oleracea (Spinach) uses a process called Photosynthesis and Respiration to produce glucose and oxygen (O2). During photosynthesis, light, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are required to begin the process. Light is absorbed by the plant’s chlorophyll, while CO2 is absorbed through the stomata and H2O is absorbed by the cells of the root hairs. The equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O  C6H12O6 (Glucose). Plants are able to absorb all colors of the visible…

organic substances” (dictionary.com). These metabolic processes are fueled through O2 consumption. The equation of cellular respiration is as follows: C6H12O6 + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O + ATP (Pidwirny). The actual pathways of cellular respiration are glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, and oxidative-phosphorylation (Campbell pg. 166). The big picture problem is the rate at which this reaction takes place is dependant on several factors. The factors that affect cellular respiration are, stage of the…

Jones. Mr. Jones appeared to be in distressed. He is now using his accessory muscles to breathe, crackles are heard on auscultation and there is decreased air entry in the left and right bases. Chest X ray revealed consolidation on the left lower lobe and atelectasis in the right lower lobe. After a series of investigation in the emergency department, Mr. Jones was commenced on Normal Saline at 125 mls/hr and he was given oxygen via non rebreather mask at 10L/min. He was then transferred…
