Flow batteries have been around since the 1970’s this technological advance in the field of energy storage and acts as a fuel cell which can provide a new and efficient energy supply. One of the biggest advantages of flow batteries is that they can practically in an instance recharge just by replacing the electrolyte liquid,while this happens it is recovering the spent materials for recharge. Several different flow batteries have been developed, including Redox, Hybrid and, Membraneless. The Redox class of flow batteries has its name from the reduction and oxidation reactions to store energy in liquid electrolyte solutions. Two reactions occur in this battery the discharge reaction and the charge reaction. During the discharge stage an electron is released as a byproduct of the oxidation reaction from a high chemical potential state on the negative (anode side) part of the battery. The electron then moves through and external circuit and as the source states it goes on to “ do useful work”(Redox Flow Batteries par.2) Then a practically reversed process is done on the opposite side of the battery, the electron is accepted through the reduction reaction this happens at a lower potential chemical state on the cathode (positive) side of the battery this process is called the charge reaction. The power delivered by the RFB (Redox Flow Battery) is the product of the total current and total voltage developed in the electrochemical cells. This battery has no limits except the amount…

Demonstration of Cellular Respiration Inside Lima Beans Cells in Vitro Purpose: Cellular respiration is a series of metabolic reactions that take place in the mitochondria and produce chemical energy in the form of ATP by the breakdown of food molecules.There are three processes involved in cellular respiration; glycolysis, the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain. During this processes, glucose is oxidized by a series of redox reactions and its electrons and hydrogen ions are donated…

The cyano-ethoxy carbonyl protection Manoharan et al. (1999) developed 2(cyanoethoxycarbonyloxy)succinimide S.27a a stable, crystalline, and convenient reagent for the protection of pendant akylamines in oligonucleotides (Figure X.X.X). The 2-cyanoethyl (ce) group is the most common phosphate protecting group in oligonucleotides; however, ce and corresponding 2-(cyanoethoxycarbonyl) group were not utilized for the nucleobase protection until 2000. Merk et al. (2000) developed…

There are two forms of coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), oxidized NAD+ and reduced NADH, that play a key role in the metabolism of cells (Daempfle, 2016). The conversion between the two forms enables the cell to accept and donate electrons. NADH is crucial for cellular energy production and plays a vital role in various reactions associated with oxidative phosphorylation, glycolysis, and fermentation. Cells synthesize NADH from glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids. The hydrogen…

phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase allows insulin to bind to a receptor on the cell membrane. This will trigger GLUT 4 to translocate to the cell membrane wall. GLUT 4 allows the glucose to be transported into the cell through a process called facilitated diffusion. Once glucose is on the cells it is broken down and used for energy (Gropper, 2013). Glucose comes into our body through the food we eat. They can be carbohydrates, fats, or proteins. The first step to breaking down these glucose molecules…

Mitochondria are our cell’s power plants. They descended from bacteria about two billion years ago, and get flaky as we age. A commonly accepted theory about aging is that the decaying of mitochondria is the driving force of aging. There is no evidence as to why the mitochondria decay. But, there have been connections to the decay of mitochondria and heart failure, neurodegeneration, and lack of energy. Recent experiments and research show that it isn’t completely out of reach to slow or even…

The citric acid cycle generates energy from the oxidation of various fuel molecules to acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA). Acetyl CoA undergoes several redox, hydration and decarboxylation reactions to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), reduced flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2), adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and hydrogen ions. The citric acid cycle links glycolysis which produces pyruvate from glucose and oxidative phosphorylation which generates ATP…

LEBER HEREDITARY NEUROPATHY PATHOPHYSIOLOGY Three mitochondria mutations contribute to Leber hereditary neuropathy disease. The three mitochondria mutations G11778A, G3460A, T14484C occurs inside of complex 1 Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Chinnery et al., 2001). Complex 1 NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase is mainly for the transferring of electrons within the mitochondrial in the respiratory chain (Garmier et.al, 2008). When the respiratory chain is not…

What does NADH stand for? First off it stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydride. Now NADH is a natural occurring substance that is found in living organisms, with an “H” that actually stand for high energy hydrogen. Now what does this hydrogen have to do with NADH? Well when NAD has this “H” it therefore means it is in the most active biological form possible. NADH is also known as coenzyme 1 in our bodies, and is also the top ranked coenzyme that we have in our body. Since it is…

This is down to the fact that Niacin helps to produce a coenzyme known as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD for short. It is this molecule that is essential for these metabolic and physiological processes. Niacin is water soluble, which means that it breaks down in water, as opposed to some vitamins, that happen to be fat soluble. Bodybuilding and Health Benefits Of Niacin Now that we know what Niacin is, let’s look at the numerous bodybuilding and health benefits of Niacin.…
