Glycolysis

catalysed by the transmembrane protein, adenylate cyclase, initiated by the release of GTP-bound α subunit. This increases the cytosolic levels of cAMP which then activates protein kinase A. This successively phosphorylates glycogen phosphorylase b stored in the cell, as phosphorylase kinase is initiated. Phosphorylation of glycogen phosphorylase b converts to phosphorylase a. This enzyme releases glucose-1-phosphate from glycogen polymers. After this the phosphate group is moved from the C-1…

In mammals, many functions of the body are made possible with the help of ATP. ATP is made is bulk in the mitochondria, thus, the body relies heavily on the mitochondria’s supply of ATP to make life possible (McCormack, 523). Regulation of this process, by default, is important as well. The body regulates the oxidative metabolism through placing in the regulator sites, that can increase or decrease the production of ATP through changing the concentration of (McCormack, 523). The…

The cellular respiration is when it process to break down the glucose and other food molecules then it is presence of the oxygen which make and release the energy to the cell. The cellular respiration take place in the mitochondria. The energy that is stored in the cellular respiration is when the body have a bond between the second and the third phosphate, which is in the group of the ATP. As the cellular respiration has an electron from the organic compound the glucose and the used energy can…

PDHPE Assignment PART 1 Creatine What are Creatines? Creatine is a organic acid that occurs in vertebrates and helps to supply energy to cells in the body. This is done by the formation of adenosine triphosphate. Benefits of Creatines Creatine may benefit the performance of athletes in sport. More work is needed to gain mussel and make this drug work. Athletes will need to experiment with creatine to determine whether they respond with this drug. This is best done under the supervision of a…

The basic function of Lipolysis was discovered in early 1900s [1]. However, the proteins and enzymes involved in the process took a lot of time to identify its exact function and property. Ruford Zechner, a Biochemical professor at University of Graz, made a great contribution in the area of lipid catabolism and identified the properties of several important metabolic lipases involved in each step of the triglyceride hydrolysis into fatty acids. This led to the discovery of adipose-triglyceride…

The purpose of this lab was to hypothesize about cellular energetics and measuring the rates of respiration and photosynthesis, explain what cellular respiration and its aspects such as glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain then how each process is involved in producing ATP and why fermentation occurs. This lab had two parts to the experiment. Experiment A analyzed cellular respiration by measuring the production carbon dioxide with various forms of sugar. Experiment B examined…

which are Glycolysis and Aerobic Respiration. Several other types of respirations will appear throughout the essay including electron transport chain, fermentation, alcoholic and lactic fermentation. Some key components contain NADH, electrons, hydrogen, oxygen, waters and ATP. Glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that changes glucose into pyruvate located in the cytosol. The word originated from Greek term glycol- sugar and lysis- to break. A series of chemical reactions, such as Glycolysis,…

They are three primary energy system that supply the body with ATP during exercise. Phosphagen system(anaerobic), Anaerobic glycolysis, and Aerobic glycolysis. To better understand this, we first need to know the different between aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic means with oxygen and anaerobic mean without oxygen. Phosphagen system is anaerobic, which means doing an exercise without the need of oxygen. Phosphagen system involves the breakdown of creatine phosphate and stores ATP to resynthesize…

three phases: glycolysis, the Kreb’s cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. When measuring consumption of oxygen during the oxidation of glucose, respirometers are used. Respirometers are devices that measure these types of gas volume changes, and therefore provide information about the rate of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration requires a nutrient molecule such as glucose and oxygen. The equation: shows this. Glycolysis is the…

Humans, or any other living thing in the world wouldn’t be able to survive without this process. The first very important step in Cellular Respiration is called glycolysis. Glycolysis happens in the cytoplasm of af cells. In glycolysis, there are two phases that happen. The investment phase and the harvest. When we consume food, glycolysis goes to work. The food that we consume is first sent into the investment phase. In the investment phase, the glucose that is in our food is transformed into…
