light intensity is lineary related to ATP concentration. ATP can be monitored by direct lysis of the cells with suitable detergent, the released ATP is then free to react with the luciferin-luciferase and leading to light emission at 562 nm. A luminometer can be used to measure the light in...
Unfortunately, the invasiveness of the procedures required to measure mitochondrial function (e.g. sampling of liver or muscles) has limited its study in wild vertebrate populations so far. Here, we capitalize on the fact that bird red blood cells (RBCs) possess functional mitochondria to describe...
How to measure energy Explain how nutrients are converted into energy. Can you explain chemical energy? What is a quanta of energy? How are carbohydrates processed in digestion? How do enzymes work? Discuss the following conservation law: Conservation of electric charge. ...
What are the effects of lactic acid on muscle cells, during anaerobic respiration? How is ATP produced in an anaerobic respiration? What is the importance of the products and reactants of cellular respiration? Provide a brief explanation as to why Respiration can be used to measure Metabolic Ac...
Instead of destroying cells, these lower frequencies merely stimulate brain circuit activity. Low-frequency Ultrasound: Therapy and Weapon of the Future? How's this for ultrasonic mind control? Two pregnant women display their stomachs to a female dolphin during a class in Lima, Peru, based on ...
Describe what makes red blood cells unique compared to other cells in the body. What is the function of red marrow? Explain how to measure hemoglobin in red blood cells. How do cells and tissues specialize? What is the function of the hemocytoblast? A. Differentiates into red blood ...
the rates of resistance were calculated for each class of antibiotics (including different antibiotics of the same family) even though, in some studies, resistance varied between different antibiotics of the same class. In Additional file1, information regarding the methods used to measure antibiotic ...
The basal metabolic rate is mostly determined by the thyroid hormones T3 and T4, which respond to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).3T3 and T4 bind to mitochondria receptors, increasing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production and increasing glucose use. ATP helps with the transportation and use of...
probe metabolic function, fuels and pathways in intact cells as well as generating dose-response curves. XF assays are labelfree and non-destructive, allowing the user to perform ATP or other viability assays on the same cell plate to generate additional information and/or normalize the XF data....
Provide a brief explanation as to why Respiration can be used to measure Metabolic Activity. Describe the process and control of metabolic reactions. Describe the steps that carbohydrates, fats, and protein go through to generate ATP in the metabolic cycle within the cell. ...
