Glycolysis

Amauris Lopez HPE 313 Take home Test 1 After the first 2.5 minutes Glycolysis follows ATP-PC (Adenosine Triphosphate (Phosphocreatine) ATP-PC system is the primary system behind very short powerful movements used for short durations of 10 seconds. The ATP-PC system does not produce any lactic acid or use oxygen it is an alactic anaerobic energy system. This system facilitates all short powerful movements, such as the average tennis rally that typically last about 5 to 10 seconds with 2 to 3…

INTRODCTION Glycolysis is an anaerobic metabolic pathway that is found in the cytosol of cells, which form ATP by breaking down the glucose. By breaking down the glucose enzymes, it releases energy and pyruvic acid. Fermentation includes glycolysis plus the reactions that stimulate NAD+ by transferring electrons from NADH to pyruvate (Houghton). NAD can then be reused to oxidize sugar by glycolysis, which creates two molecules of ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation. Fermentation uses…

of sugar. The simpler the structure the faster the speed will be, because there are less steps required to break down the polymer. Discussion: Students hypothesize that the sugar need to be broken down to simpler monomer to start the process of glycolysis, so the fastest rate of fermentation will occur to the simplest substance (glucose). During the experiment, Glucose exhibits the formation of CO¬2¬ after 5 minutes (0.1 mL), while Maltose (disaccharide), required one step of break down sugar,…

for reactions such as glycolysis. Adipose connective tissue is stimulated to perform lipogenesis, and inhibit lipolysis, while glycogenesis is stimulated in hepatocytes. These reactions, then, simultaneously lowers fatty acids and glucose within the bloodstream and stores them as fat and glycogen respectively. Cells such as neurons and erythrocytes independently will take up the excessive glucose without the aid of insulin. Oreo’s simply provide cells with energy for glycolysis and cellular…

been previously revealed that leukemia cells produce lactate even in the presence of oxygen, we hypothesized that AML cells specifically are dependent on aerobic glycolysis and that treatment with dichloroacetate will stimulate apoptosis. We further hypothesized that apoptosis would be the result of the cells switching from aerobic glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation, resulting in an increase in mitochondrial activity and reactive oxygen species and a decrease in survival proteins Bcl-2 and…

cells extract this energy through the generation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This is done through a process known as glycolysis, which breaks glucose into two molecules of pyruvate, resulting in a net gain of two ATP molecules for the cell. Two NADH molecules are generated during glycolysis which produces four ATP. However two molecules of ATP are used to initiate glycolysis thus the cell has a net gain of two ATP molecules. A chemical reaction converts pyruvate to a molecule called…

Our world revolves around air, or more specifically oxygen-molecules that many life forms are dependent on, including humans. Without the processes of Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration, Earth wouldn’t look the same way it does now. There are two main processes: Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration that makes up our air inside of plants. These two processes wouldn’t be possible without each other. Even though they are like each other they have many differences that define them to exactly…

The corneal endothelium is metabolically highly active, and accordingly, endowed with a large number of mitochondria (**). Recent studies have claimed mitochondrial dysfunction in response to deliberate oxidative stress and in FECD (**). Although mitochondrial damage is correlated to cell death, its effects could be more subtle when the damage to the organelle is not severe. Specifically, when mitochondrial damage is not severe, the cellular functions could be impacted by ATP depletion. The…

generally enter aerobic respiration at the start of glycolysis. Disaccharides are primarily hydrolysed into monomers, and then each monosaccharide enters the pathway as a reactant for one of the reactions during the time of glycolysis. The complex carbohydrates that supply energy in living organisms are glucose polymers: starch in plants and glycogen in animals. These polymers are hydrolysed to release individual glucose monomers for entrance into glycolysis. The majority of plants and…

explosiveness, such as a sprinter would use. Non-oxidative, also called glycolysis, is the second energy system that our body utilizes when called upon. This system is used in anything lasting from over ten seconds, all the way up to one minute, and produces a by product called lactic acid. Lactic acid is the feeling you get in your muscles like a “burning” sensation, and can lessen ones ability to exercise or do work with that muscle. Glycolysis is a system that would be used when running…
