Basic metabolism Topics covered today: 1. Concept of equilibrium and Gibb’s free energy 2. Catalysis 3. Energy carrier molecules 4. (reading: 65-88) Keeping a system organized requires energy * Maintain structures * Create-and re-create the building blocks * Reorganize/adapt * Two categories of metabolism * Catabolism: get energy by breaking down food (bimolecular). * Anabolic pathways: use energy to build molecules. Second law of thermodynamic

1. Do you think you need to learn the culture of people along with their language to communicate with them? Why/Why not? I’d like to add‚ that learning the culture of people along with their language is necessary not only to communicate with them‚ but also‚ at the beginning to understand all the pecularities of the language. Culture and language are two strongly interrelated notions. The basis of culture is the language. And on the contrary‚ the language is the reflection (“echo”) of the

Matt Feldman Mr. Mosher AP Bio 12/6/2012 The Metabolism of Alcohol This article describes the process the liver undergoes to breakdown the alcohol in your blood stream. Also it discusses the consequences of heavy drinking and the damage it causes to your body. The only cells in our body that can metabolize ethanol are in our liver. In the cells NAD+ oxidizes the ethanol to acetic acid‚ which generates an excess amount of NADH‚ which gives its electrons to the ETC. Then Oxidative phosphorylation

How can you be better prepared for the workplace?? Nowadays‚ many adolescents are unprepared for the workplace. This is prevalent in our society as parents and guardians have over-protected them‚ causing them to be not fully prepared for the workplace. Working is a transition to becoming a self-sustaining adult where individuals have to be independent. I do not want myself to be shocked by my prospective employer and want to be better prepared for the workplace. This essay will now discuss how I

Do you think Boxer was a threat to Napoleon? I believe Boxer helped Napoleon many times keeping the animals at bay‚ and not revolting against him. Boxer was a model to the other animals‚ they looked up to him‚ tried to work as hard as him. Boxer played as a role model to the other animals. Boxer was a role model to the animals‚ a helper for Napoleon‚ and a respected comrade that kept the animals at bay. Boxer keeps the animals at bay. Every time that Napoleon made a decision that the animals didn’t

The word metabolism can also refer to all chemical reactions that occur in living organisms‚ including digestion and the transport of substances into and between different cells‚ in which case the set of reactions within the cells is called intermediary metabolism or intermediate metabolism. Metabolism is usually divided into two categories. Catabolism breaks down organic matter‚ for example to harvest energy in cellular respiration. Anabolism uses energy to construct components of cells such as

DESCRIBE THE STRUCTURAL COMPARTMENTATION OF MAMMALIAN CELLS AND THE DIFFERING FUNCTIONS OF THESE COMPARTMENTS All mammalian cells are eukaryotic‚ and whilst the eukaryotic type of cell is not exclusive to mammals‚ mammalian cells differ from other eukaryotic cells because of the organelles that are or are not present. For instance some plant cells have chloroplasts which are not present in mammalian cells‚ but both plant cells and mammalian cells are eukaryotic in nature. The term eukaryotic refers

Microbial metabolism is the means by which a microbe obtains the energy and nutrients (e.g. carbon) it needs to live and reproduce. Microbes use many different types of metabolic strategies and species can often be differentiated from each other based on metabolic characteristics. The specific metabolic properties of a microbe are the major factors in determining that microbe’s ecological niche‚ and often allow for that microbe to be useful in industrial processes or responsible for biogeochemical
