Respiration). Glucose, a carbon source that could enter glycolysis directly, should be the one that has the highest respiration rate. In comparison, sucrose and lactose must have their disaccharide glycosidic linkages broken before entering glycolysis, and glycerol must go through many steps before being able to enter glycolysis (Principles of Biology). The cellular respiration rate and CO2 production will be the highest for yeast cells that are grown in the carbon source of glucose. In comparison

Biochemistry GRT 1 Task 4 -Case Studies Marie Marks Western Governors University Introduction The two case studies given both involve in the processes of making energy that the body needs to maintain and sustain life. Each case is a different diagnosis but they both have some involvement in the production of ATP and other products when creating energy. If someone has an issue with the production of energy it is hard to maintain life in the body. The body has many different enzymes that are

Enzymes play a critical role in metabolic processes by speeding up chemical reactions. Enzymes lower energy barriers by acting as a catalyst for a reaction. An example is hydrolysis that occurs in glucose. Without enzymes glucose will still hydrolyze, but at a slow rate. With the right enzyme hydrolysis will occur even more rapidly than before. Enzymes work by having a substrates enter their active site. Induce fit (the substrates forms weak bonds with the enzyme causing the enzymes shape to enfold

made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Monosaccharides (glucose and fructose), disaccharides (sucrose) are referred as sugar molecules. Aerobic and anaerobic metabolism work together to provide ATP and energy for exercise (Baker et al, 2010). Skeletal muscles use fat and carbohydrate for energy. Therefore, at high exercise intensities, fat does not synthesis ATP, so fat utilisation has a higher amount of ATP. Therefore, glucose utilisation is necessary for ATP synthesis (Milian, 2013).

1957). It breaks down starch molecules by splitting maltose from the non-reducing end of a gluten molecule (Jacobsen, Melvaer, Hensten-Pettersen, 1972). Phosphorylase acts on starch and glycogen by breaking it down by breaking the glucose bonds and taking a glucose molecule off of the structure (Ball, Vialle, Alonso-Casajus, Duavillee, Munoz, Baroja-Fernandez, Moran-Zorzano, Eydallin, Pozueta-Romero, 2006). The conditions for the reaction of Phosphorylase and

Introduction Deborah is a 65-year-old First Nations woman living in northern Ontario, and who has type-II diabetes. After leaving high school in grade 11 and eventually working a 35-year career as a secretary at an elementary school in a poor neighbourhood in Toronto while raising her three children, Deborah retired nine years ago and moved back to her home community, where she is an active member on the Council and is a regular volunteer. As a child, Deborah’s parents worked long hours in manual

requirements of an athlete competing in the summer olympics will largely depend on the event they are taking part in and also the environment in which they are competing. An athlete who is competing in the decathlon event will need a high amount of blood glucose and full glycogen stores in the muscles and liver, to do this they will want to raise the intake of Carbohydrates (CHO) in preparation for the event and lower the intake of protein and fats. Previously, the belief with CHO loading was that there must

Unknown #3 Report To start off unknown #3, I picked out O17 from rack A and wrote down my name, date, class, and I first noticed the broth was a light yellow that was quite cloudy or milky. Soon later I streaked my organism onto a TSA plate and incubated it at 37oC for 24 hours, t was almost a perfect plate. There was no contamination; I could tell it there was only one species on the plate and that it was okay for me to move on. There were many isolated colonies in quadrants 3 and 4. The colonies

at altitudes above 5.000 metres. One other possibility to maintain homeostasis during hypoxia might be to maximize the yield of ATP per O2 consumed. This could be achieved by switching the substrate (like glucose instead of fatty acids), but this is limited because the body need to preserve glucose for the brain which cannot oxidize

unhealthy, and overall delicious, is the type that is in sweet things like candy, ice cream, so it is in different types of desserts in general. (zelf geschreven) Sugar is a type of carbohydrate that gives the body energy, which are broken down to glucose. Sugar are sweeteners added to food; they change the taste on our taste buds. A lot of food contains sugar, but the industry declares sugar as example as fructose so not all the customers know there is sugar in that product. People eat a lot more
