How many ATP are obtained by substrate-level phosphorylation during a complete oxidation of a single glucose molecule (include Glycolysis, PDH reaction, and the Krebs' cycle, do NOT subtract "energy investment") a. 1 b. 2 c. 4 d. 6 e. 32 ...
In total, how many ATP are generated in aerobic cellular respiration, and what is aerobic cellular respiration? Determine the ATP yield of the following reaction: Acetyl CoA goes through one turn of the citric acid cycle. a. 2 ATP b. 3 ATP c. 6 ATP d. 12 ATP e. 18 ...
This type of metabolism relies onphosphocreatineas the ‘raw material’ for the reaction. However, the body’s phosphocreatine reserves are naturally very low which is why this system is only prioritised for intense but short bursts of exercise: think of it as atiny reservoir with...
The combination of a substance with oxygen. Oxidisation The process of oxidizing; the addition of oxygen to a compound with a loss of electrons; always occurs accompanied by reduction Oxidation A reaction in which the atoms of an element lose electrons and the valence of the element is corresp...
The functions of actin and its motor proteins myosins in the cytoplasm have been the subject of research for more than 100 years, but the existence and fun
Lectins are a defense mechanism which all life forms appear to have. Essentially, they are a low level toxin. The purpose of lectins is to discourage other animals from eating that life form. By triggering a negative reaction in the predator, that life form is then viewed as an undesirable...
Key Point:The chemical reaction caused by phosphate hydrolysis causes energy which is used by your cells. [/infobox] Do ATP Supplements Work? Check the shelves of some supplement stores and you’ll see products labelled with “ATP” in the ingredients. And what a cool idea that is – pack...
When a photon of light hits the reaction center, a pigment molecule such as chlorophyll releases an electron. The released electron escapes through a series of protein complexes linked together, known as an electron transport chain. As it moves through the chain, it generates the energy to produ...
c) Ending product d) Does this stage make ATP or pick up high energy electron carriers? e) Is this st What is the chemical reaction for cellular respiration? What about the structure of ATP makes it useful as the energy currency of cells? What do cellular respiration and fermentation have...
What is the role of NAD+ in the reaction of glycolysis? What is teh role of NAD+ and NADH in cellular respiration? How does NAD+ (NADH) function in cellular respiration? A) What are the functions of ATP and NADH? B) Describe where these are produced during ...
