Glycolysis

Cellular respiration is a very interesting topic that we are currently learning about in our biology class. What makes this particular topic so remarkable are all of the different elements that work together for cellular respiration to occur in human beings and animals. In the video, “ATP & Respiration: Crash Course Biology #& 7.” (ATP & Respiration: Crash Course Biology #7. n.d.). The narrator does an excellent job of explaining the cellular respiration process in a very clear cut…

while respiration cellular break down food molecules to obtain energy and store it into the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules. They both need each other to function. The three main stages of cellular respiration and photosynthesis are: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and electron transport. The first stage of the cellular…

This is a form of fermentation and occurs because an oxygen supply is not readily available. Fermentation occurs after glycolysis after pyruvate has been formed. In the pathway of ethanol metabolism, first, PDC (Pyruvate Decarboxylase) must catalyze a reaction in which Carbon Dioxide will be released, and pyruvate is converted to Acetaldehyde. Then, Alcohol Dehydrogenase comes…

5.0 Discussion 5.1 Adenosine Triphosphate System In touch football there are three systems used throughout the duration of the game these are the ATP system (Adenosine Triphosphate), the Lactic Acid system (anaerobic glycolysis) and the final system the Aerobic system. ATP doesn’t exist in the muscles and tissues waiting to supply abundant amounts of energy (Hede, Russell and Weatherby), ATP is a chain consisting of three phosphate groups. To produce energy the phosphate chain breaks and one…

broken down from glucose to energy molecules known as ATP. As stated in lab manual BSC 2010L the equation formula is C_6 H_12 O_6+ 6O_2→6CO_2+6H_2 O+energy (including~ 36 ATP) (Upadhyaya, 2018). Fermentation, similar to cell respiration begins with glycolysis; it is the breakdown of glucose with the formation of pyruvate and two ATP molecules. There are two types of fermentation alcohol and lactic acid (Upadhyaya, 2018). Alcohol fermentation is the process when NADH (coenzyme), gives electrons…

approximately five days which activates proteases, β-glucanase, α-amylase, and β-amylase. Starches and proteins are then made available for cellular processes such as glycolysis and fermentation. Germination is then halted via a drying process…

Determination of GAPC Gene Sequence for Brassica Oleracea var. acephala and Brassica Oleracea var. capitate INTRODUCTION GAPDH is an enzyme that is encoded by the GAPC gene and catalyzes glycolysis’ sixth step which is responsible for energy metabolism (Bio Rad 2017). Aside from its role in glycolysis, GAPDH is also known for its evolutionary significance specifically that it has roles in cellular function like nuclear RNA export and DNA replication and repair (Tatton et al. 2001). GAPDH has…

Transport Chain and these pass through ATP synthase. Eventually, electrons are passed through cytochromes to the final electron acceptor, oxygen, and water is formed. NAD and FAD are reproduced and this is vital so that they can be used again in glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle and ATP production can…

As discussed in goal two, Cyclocross utilizes all of the body’s energy systems including the ATP-PC, glycolytic, and oxidative systems. A majority of the power output in Cyclocross is generated from glycolysis. This includes both anaerobic and aerobic glycolysis where glucose is converted to ATP for the body’s energy needs. Figure three shows how efforts ranging from thirty to ninety percent of a riders max power will utilize the glycolytic energy system. The glycolytic system is dependent…

Mitochondrion is an organelle that exists within the cytoplasm of eukaryote cells, they are considered to be one of the most important organelles. Mitochondrion is usually oval in shape and can vary in size from 0.5 - 1µm. Mitochondrion is composed of a double membrane, the outer membrane is smooth and encompasses the organelle whereas the inner membrane is folded to form layered structures called cristae. In between the outer and inner membrane, is an area called the…
