Living things need to both make and break down molecules in order to carry out their functions. To do this, living things use enzymes, or protein catalysts.Answer and Explanation: Synthesis means "to make" in biology. There are many examples of important synthesis reactions. During DNA ...
What does -/- mean in biology? What is the purpose of cell transport? What was Rudolf Virchow's contribution to the cell theory? Why are ribosomes important to cells? Why are B cells important? What was Rudolph Virchow's cell theory?
The Phylum Metamonada is a large group comprising anaerobic flagellated protozoa of varying compositions. Initially, they were thought to have been an ancient group due to the absence of proper mitochondria. Based on a variety of studies, however, they are now understood to have lost their ...
It is a privilege to witness a revolution in thinking in Biology, but that is surely what we have seen in the past few years in our understanding of the roles of mitochondria in cell biology. Ten years ago, it all seemed simple: the mitochondrion was `the powerhouse of the cell', the...
How do cancer cells get by with all of these mutations? What keeps them going? And what causes all of these mutations in the first place? In the next article in the series, "What Causes Cancer: Part II," I explain the role of mitochondria in our cells and the significant link between...
All PS-NPs targeted mitochondria, resulting in increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS), decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, and diminished ATP levels. This exposure caused neuronal damage, apoptosis, and neuroinflammation, as indicated by the reaction of astrocytes and microglia in ...
4.3. When does sperm production start in the male? 4.4. How far does a human sperm cell travel to fertilize an egg? 4.5. How fast can a sperm travel? 4.6. Why does the human sperm cell have lots of mitochondria? 4.7. What is the function of the head of the sperm? 4.8. What is...
What do we mean when we talk about exercise mimetics? Considerable debate has centred around the nomenclature of what constitutes an 'exercise pill' or an 'exercise mimetic,' and a number of opinion pieces have weighed in on this topic (Goodyear, 2008; Richter et al. 2008; Warden & Fuchs...
What is the difference between biology and human biology? What organelles does the mitochondria work with? What does phosphorylation do to a molecule? What is the role of NADP in photosynthesis? What is plant molecular biology? Which mitochondria membrane is highly convoluted?
Are the mitochondria anabolic or catabolic? What would stop a catabolic reaction? What is catabolism? Is the RAF-MEK-ERK pathway catabolic or anabolic? What catabolic process produces monosaccharides? a. Define anabolism and catabolism. b. Briefly describe the three main steps of cellular respiration...
