How does photosynthesis impact the flow of energy and the cycling of nutrients‚ you ask? Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis provides the base for the one way flow of energy through the biosphere. Plants convert energy from the sun into sugars‚ which provide fuel for themselves and for other organisms. Photosynthesis also cycles carbon and oxygen nutrients through the

Metabolism By: Who ever Enzymes Enzymes act as a catalyst by speeding up or slowing down processes in the body. A protein enzyme has a particular shape that contains an active site. An active site is where a substrate fits into place to have its bonds either built or broken. At which time the products or product produced are released. The enzyme remains to continue to act on any available substrate. Hereditary Fructose Intolerance AldolaseB is found mainly in the liver. The second

In the lab‚ the purpose was to standardize a KMnO4 solution than using it to evaluate how close a H2O2’s concentration was to its labeled concentration. In this lab‚ it was decided to compare the concentration of new Publix brand hydrogen peroxide to an old sample of the same solution. From the data collected in the first part by titrating a solution of FeSO4*7H2O with the KMnO4 solution‚ it was determined that the concentration was .028M MnO4-. This was able to be done because a known amount of

Biochemistry GRT 1 Task 4 -Case Studies Marie Marks Western Governors University Introduction The two case studies given both involve in the processes of making energy that the body needs to maintain and sustain life. Each case is a different diagnosis but they both have some involvement in the production of ATP and other products when creating energy. If someone has an issue with the production of energy it is hard to maintain life in the body. The body has many different enzymes that are

According to Dr. Kravitz in his article called “The Marvelous Mitochondria” The Mitochondria was discovered in 1890 by a German cell Biologist Richard Altmann under the name of bio blasts. He first theorized that the bio blasts had metabolic and genetic self-sufficiency characteristics. Years later‚ it was given a name change by another German Biologist‚ Karl Benda‚ to the name of Mitochondria. Today‚ we know that the Mitochondria is an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. According to David

What is the function of using KHP in the COD test? (2 marks) KHP is used as a control standard because KHP is stable pure organic compounds which have the theoretical value of COD(500ppm)‚ so it can used to gain an idea of

Discuss and compare the relevance to the three energy systems for the sport of your choice‚ explain the details of each system? The body has only one unsuitable form of energy‚ this is known as ATP. ATP releases energy when broken down and is essential to the flow of energy to living cells. It can be re synthesized through a possible three energy systems; ATP-PC system‚ the glycolytic Lactic Acid system and the aerobic system. My chosen sport is trampolining the main performance in trampolining

Biodegradation OF Xenobiotics . OVERVIEW Microorganisms play an important role in the removal of synthetic organic compounds from the environment. This chapter gives an overview of the evolution of biodegradation pathways and describes the strategies that microorganisms have evolved to transform important molecular structures. The actual effectiveness of biodegradation in the environment is determined by the bioavailability of the

Quiz Chapter 13: How Cells Obtain Energy From Food . The energy released by oxidizing glucose is saved in high energy bonds of: ATP and other activated carrier molecues 2. Sugars derived from food are broken down by: glycolysis‚ the citric acid cycle‚ and oxidative phosphorylation 3. Catabolism: a breakdown process in which enzymes degrade complex molecules into simpler ones 4. The digestion of polymeric food molecules into monomeric subunits occurs in: extracellular space (i.g. lumen of

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)‚ an energy-bearing molecule found in all living cells. Formation of nucleic acids‚ transmission of nerve impulses‚ muscle contraction‚ and many other energy-consuming reactions of metabolism are made possible by the energy in ATP molecules. The energy in ATP is obtained from the breakdown of foods. An ATP molecule is composed of carbon‚ hydrogen‚ nitrogen‚ oxygen‚ and phosphorus atoms. There are three phosphorus atoms in the molecule. Each of these phosphorus atoms is
