As the temperature of the hydrochloric acid was raised‚ the enzyme’s speed should have slowed. In the results‚ the ice water worked the fastest and the 50° of HCL was the slowest. But the result of the 38°C was off by at least 90 ml/min in comparison to the tap water when it was supposed to work slower

produces fructose 1‚6 – biphosphate. Lysis: The 6-carbon molecule (glucose) turns into G3P and DHAP (the dhap is converted to G3P). Basically split into two 3-carbon molecules of G3P (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate). Oxidation: G3P is oxidized by NAD+ which is reduced to NADH. This releases energy to attach phosphates to sugar molecules producing 1‚2-biphosphoglycerate. This happens twice – once for each G3P. Phosphates are transferred to ADP producing 4 molecules of ATP. This is a net gain of 2 ATP and

The metabolic response to prolonged starvation Early stage of prolonged starvation Starvation occurs when the body has a severe lack of nutrients needed to survive.
