Metabolic pathway

1. Skeletal muscle used ATP to contract. Then, ATP is broken down into ADP and P, which release energy. 2. A) The sarcoplasmic reticulum is the organelle that stores calcium in muscles cells. B) In order for calcium to be released from this organelle some events must occur. First, an action potential needs to reach the synaptic terminal. Then acetylcholine needs to be released into the sarcoplasm. After that, ACH molecules will land on receptors that are on the motor end plate. Then, an action…

PROPIONIBACTERIUM ACNES Written by Ebru Erdogan Alper Buberci Helin Alagoz Abstract The purpose of this paper is to explain propionibacterium acne’s structural properties, to make its microbiological analysis, to mention where it can be found, especially on human body, its photosensitivity and to describe the diseases and some infections it can lead to under specific conditions. Introduction Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) is a bacteria that grows deep inside of pores, which is…

that is commonly used to study the photosynthetic pathways, and how molecules such as carbon and nitrogen are fixed. Rhodobacter sphaeroides 17029 will also be studied. It’s similar to R. sphaeroides 2.4.1, except that there is some differences at a subcellular level in the strain of the species. This strain of R. sphaeroides is mostly used for photosynthetic and renewable energy studies. Both of these species are used for studying metabolic pathways. Escherichia coli DH5훂 is the third species…

Arteries Arteries carry blood at high pressure (80 - 120 mm Hg) They have a narrower lumen (to maintain high pressure) surround by a thick wall made of two layers The middle layer (tunica media) contains muscle and elastin to help maintain pulse flow (it can contract and stretch) The outer layer (tunica adventitia) contains collagen prevents the artery rupturing due to the high pressure blood flow Veins Veins carry blood under low pressure (<10 mm Hg) They have a very wide lumen (keeps…

glucogenic molecules that are each converted to pyruvate via a series of enzymatic reactions in the liver to ultimately be converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis and transported back to muscle for its energy source. The Cori cycle describes the metabolic pathway in which the anaerobic glycolytic product in the muscle known as lactate, is transported to the liver where it gets converted back to glucose for it to be returned to the muscle (Overgaard et al., 2009). Simply put, the cycle…

link for gluconeogenesis with anaerobic glycolysis, using different tissues to compartmentalize opposing metabolic pathways. Uridine diphosphate (UDP) glucose is a nucleotide sugar used in many pathways. It is the precursor for glycogen and sucrose. It can also be used as enzymes to breakdown reactions. These enzymes are called UDP glucose pyrophosphorylase and UDP glucose dehydrogenase. The pathway that…

The grand majority of plants use photosynthesis to obtain their energy to sustain. Plants perform photosynthesis by converting natural light into chemical energy *.In photosynthesis there are three different types of metabolic pathways for carbon fixation, this includes C3, C4 and CAM*. the CAM method was not observed in this lab. In the C3 method the plant converts CO2 to 3- phosphogylycerate which a 3 carbon which then enters the calvin cycle of photosynthesis *. While in the C4 methode CO2 is…

three parts: glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis is the first cycle of cellular respiration that occurs in the cytoplasm. Glycolysis is the breaking down of glucose that forms pyruvate into two molecules of ATP. Two pathways start the process of glycolysis, aerobic and anaerobic. In aerobic respiration is the use of oxygen in cells. Anaerobic respiration is when oxygen is not present. Since glucose is a 6-carbon ring and it is broken two molecules, these parts…

shape. This specific shape contains an area that is designed to match a specific molecule. The substance that an enzyme operates on is known as its substrate. Almost all metabolic reactions in organisms are catalyzed by enzymes. Many of these reactions occur in specific sequences and are called metabolic or biochemical pathways. Enzymes can be denatured, unfolding of the enzyme, by a number of factors. They can be denatured by extreme concentration, heat, or pH levels. This will cause the…

Introduction It is not fully understood by a large portion of the population, that each and every person is truly biologically unique, from our fingerprint to our genome (Topol, 2014, p. 241). This has now been made abundantly clear through the use of compressive ‘omic’ assessments of individuals, including DNA and RNA sequencing, and to a lesser extent the metabolone, proteome, and even the microbiome, autoantibodies and epigenome (Topol, 2014, p. 241). This information can now give rise to…
