Glucose 6-phosphate

decomposition reaction. During this reaction, the exergonic release of energy is produced by breaking glucose down into smaller ATP molecules, water and carbon dioxide which is released into the air, for use by plants, every time we exhale Slide #10 Like Photosynthesis, cellular respiration is also a redox reaction where glucose loses electrons and hydrogen atoms to produce carbon dioxide causing the glucose to become oxidized. At the same time, oxygen gains electrons and hydrogen atoms, reducing it to

The product of this process is energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), by substrate-level phosphorylation, NADH and FADH2 Simplified reaction: C6H12O6 (s) + 6O2 (g) → 6CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (l) + heat ΔG = -2880 kJ per mole of C6H12O6 The negative ΔG indicates that the reaction can occur spontaneously. The reducing potential of NADH and FADH2 is converted to more ATP through an electron transport chain with oxygen as the "terminal electron

Enzymes are large biological molecules responsible for the thousands of chemical interconversions that sustain life. They are highly selective catalysts, greatly accelerating both the rate and specificity of metabolic reactions, from the digestion of food to the synthesis of DNA. Most enzymes are proteins, although some catalytic RNA molecules have been identified. Enzymes adopt a specific three-dimensional structure, and may employ organic (e.g. biotin) and inorganic (e.g. magnesium ion) cofactors

effects of phosphate limitation on agarase shows that limiting phosphate increases both intracellular agarase production and extracellular secretion, whereas a magnesium limitation does not (9). This further highlights the niche which this class of bacteria usually occupies, as the concentration of glucose or phosphate in the ocean is very low while magnesium concentration is generally much higher, suiting the agar-degrading bacteria’s agarase production; there is simply no need to use glucose in the

PET 3351 Exercise Physiology Second Exam Review (Fall 2012) Chapter IV: The Physiological Basis of Muscular Strength and Flexibility 1. Strength is operationally defined as the maximal force that can be exerted in a single effort. Using this definition, strength should be assessed using one repetition maximum (1 RM), though we often estimate strength using tests that may involve multiple repetitions. 2. In strength training and rehabilitation, emphasis should be given to both the concentric

the town, an area known as the cytoplasm. This area is not only home to them but you can find 2 phosphates, 2 ADPs, and 1 glucose growing at a time.Their job was to take glucose, which was found near their house, and break the 6 carbon molecule into two 3 carbon molecules. This was hard work and required the family to be well fed, they ate two ATPs knowing that they would be producing more. Phosphate that’s

1. Summarize the structure and function of organelles in eukaryotic cells and ways that these organelles interact with each other to perform the function of the cell (must include: the nucleus, plasma membrane, cell wall, mitochondria, vacuoles, chloroplasts and ribosomes). Eukaryotic cells contain many important organelles that have unique structures and functions that interact with each other to perform the essential activities within the cell. One of the most important organelles is the nucleus

order to determine the concentrations of unknown solutions and to gain an understanding of how different enzymes work. For the first part of the experiment, a phosphatase assay will be conducted by combining p-Nitrophenol Phosphate and a phosphatase, an enzyme that hydrolyzes phosphate groups. Since one of the products of the reaction, p-Nitrophenol, absorbs light at 405 nanometers (nm), an increase in absorbance at 405 nm indicates the formation of the product. Thus, by measuring the increasing absorbance

It must be supplied by the diet. It can be made from fat in the body. It can be made from glucose in the body. Question 3  of 30 Which of the following describes a process in protein synthesis? The code to make a protein is carried by

Amylase is an enzyme commonly found in human saliva. It is used to catabolize starch into glucose and maltose by lowering the activation energy barrier, and by breaking the alpha 1-4 bonds of amylose and amylopectin and the alpha 1-6 bonds of amylopectin. Amylase is found in one’s saliva and pancreas, and Porcrine Pancreatic α-Amylase is amylase that has been isolated from the pancreas of a pig. While amylase is effective at breaking down starch, in the normal saliva pH range of 6.02 to 7.14 (Schmidt-Nielsen
