“A human being is a whole world to a mitochondrion‚ just the way our planet is to us. But we’re much more dependent on our mitochondria than the earth is on us. The earth could get along perfectly well without people‚ but if anything happened to our mitochondria‚ we’d die.” —A Wind in the Door by Madeleine L’Engle (1973). Mitochondria are responsible for energy production in cells. The catalyst for energy in cells is adenosine triphosphate also known as ATP. The Mitochondria produce ATP by converting

are absent in animal cells. It’s through the chloroplast that entry of energy to a cell takes place where sunlight is used to trap and convert carbon to sugar‚ which is basically chemical energy that is utilizable by plant cells. Meanwhile‚ the mitochondrion is an organelle that is present in plant cells and animal cells as well. Here‚ energy is trapped in the form of sugar by photosynthesis and is converted to a form that is more conveniently utilizable to the cell. Both the chloroplast and the mitochondria

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

The mtDNA function in encoding vital subunits that are seen in the respiratory chain‚ where electron is able to combine with oxygen to allow the flow of energy through the mitochondria. When the mitochondrion is energized‚ its able to synthesize ATP‚ which has the ability to fuse energy dependent intracellular reactions (eg. endocytosis‚ ion transport‚ neurotransmitter biosynthesis)‚ while sustaining vital for mitochondria. Some of these critical responsibilities

transport chain‚ NADH is use to make ATP. 4. In prokaryotes the reactions take place in the cytoeol. 5. In eukaryotes the reactions take place in the mitochondria. 6. The mitochondrial matrix is the space inside the inner membrane of the mitochondrion. 7. When pyruvic acid enters the mitochondrial matrix‚ it reacts with a molecule called coenzyme. b. The Krebs Cycle 1. The Krebs Cycle is a biochemical pathway that breaks down acetyl CoA‚ producing CO2‚ hydrogen atoms and ATP.

The substance is water soluble which oxidizes and transports long chain fatty acids into the mitochondrion (Dokmeci et al.‚ 2005; Gulcin‚ 2006)‚ transeterifies and acetyl-CoA‚ oxidizes branched chain alpha ketoacids and removes the potentially harmful acetylcarnitine esters from mitochondria (Dokmeci et al.‚ 2005).
