organisms to grow and reproduce‚ maintain their structures‚ and respond to their environments. 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

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

Hormones and Behaviors Cynthia Stanley BEH/225 July 27‚ 2014 Phillip Duncan Hormones and Behaviors Hormones play an important role in bodily functions of the living human as well as mental functions that allow us to create‚ write‚ act‚ or in general be productive humans. When any of our hormones or the glands that produce them are not in sync or producing properly‚ we may not be able to think at all‚ or we may be so emotionally dysfunctional that we become nonproductive. Thus hormones may

Sir Safar Lecture 2 Finals Pentose Phosphate Pathway (S. 70) Alternative pathway for glucose oxidation. Similar to glycolysis‚ but instead of having pyruvate as the end product it is diverted to other pathways. Supplier of energy to the cell in the form of NADPH (a reducing power for biosynthesis). It is also referred to as hexose monophosphate shunt. *Fate of glucose 6-phosphate (G 6-P) IN THE PPP (S. 71) Taken out from glycolysis and converted into Ribulose 5-phosphate. With the conversion

Metabolism Figure 1 above is adapted from João M‚ et al (2012) the chromatographic methodologies for analysis of cocaine and its metabolites which‚ shows the metabolic pathway of cocaine administrated. Cocaine is largely metabolized into two major metabolites benzoylecgonine (BE) and ecgonine methyl ester (EME) and two minor metabolites norcocaine (NCOC) and m- and p-hydroxycocaine (OH-COC) (Goldstein et al.‚ 2009). Benzoylecgonine is primarily produce in the liver by human carbozylerstrase type
