γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA)

Signal transmission across synapses between neurons is mediated by neurotransmitter release from presynaptic axon terminals and receptor activation at postsynaptic neurons. GABA, a non-protein amino acid produced by the decarboxylation of glutamic acid, is a major neurotransmitter at inhibitory synapses in the vertebrate and invertebrates’ nervous systems. On the one hand, glutamic acid is a major excitatory neurotransmitter.

Most neurones (neurons) in the human central nervous system (CNS) send signals quickly and precisely via two primary types of neuronal activity: activation by glutamic acid and suppression by -aminobutyric acid (GABA). The activity of glutamic acid decarboxylase produces GABA from glutamic acid (GAD).

1. Compare and contrast ATP and NADH.
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Glycolysis produces 4 ATP molecules, giving it a net gain of 2 ATP molecules. The four high energy electrons that are removed by glycolysis are picked by an electron carrier called NAD. NAD becomes NADH.As it spins it grabs an ADP molecule and attaches a phosphate, forming high energy ATP.

Explanation:

Both NADPH and ATP are phosphorylated compounds, both are very important catabolic as well as anabolic processes. To explain the difference, their respective functions/roles in biochemical processes should be described along with relevant chemical properties.

ATP (Adenosine triphospahte) is called an energy rich molecule because of the large negative free energy of its hydrolysis (And has nothing to do with high bond energy).

30.5 kilo Joules or 7.3 kilo calorie energy is liberated after hydrolysis of one ATP molecule to form ADP (Adenosine diphosphate) and phosphate.The reaction is almost irreversible
