What is the name of the process that breaks glucose down into the pyruvate that is used in cellular respiration?

Biology

Nikitich [7]3 years ago
5 0

The correct answer is Glycolysis.

At the time of glycolysis, glucose gets dissociated down into ten steps to two molecules of pyruvate that then moves within the mitochondria where it is oxidized by the process of the tricarboxylic acid cycle or Kreb's cycle into water and carbon dioxide. Glycolysis can be divided into two phases, and both of which takes place in the cytosol.

Ghella [55]

Answer:

The chemical reaction that represents the process of aerobic cell respiration is oxygen + glucose → water + carbon dioxide + energy

Explanation:

Cell respiration occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells and consists of a series of chemical reactions in which energy in the form of ATP molecules is obtained from a glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen.

<u>Glucose is the main energetic substrate</u> to be able to synthesize energy in the form of ATP, through oxidative phosphorylation. At the end of the process ATP is obtained as products, and as waste compounds water and carbon dioxide, which can be schematized in the following chemical reaction:

              <em>              C₆H₁₂O₆  +  6O₂ →  6H₂O  +  6CO₂ + ATP ↑</em>

<em>                Glucose + Oxygen → Water + Carbon dioxide + Energy ↑</em>

This reaction summarizes what happens in aerobic cellular breathing, which is necessary to synthesize energy for cellular functions.

The other reactions:

  • <em>oxygen + water </em><em>→</em><em> glucose + lactose </em>
  • <em>glucose + lactose </em><em>→</em><em> oxygen + water </em>
  • <em>water + carbon dioxide + energy </em><em>→</em><em> oxygen + glucose</em>

<em>do not represent the components or the order of the reactions that occur in aerobic cell respiration</em>

g protein-activated inwardly rectifying potassium channels mediate depotentiation of long-term potentiation
Svetlanka [38]

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is considered a cellular correlate of learning and memory. The presence of G protein-activated inwardly rectifying K(+) (GIRK) channels near excitatory synapses on dendritic spines suggests their possible involvement in synaptic plasticity. However, whether activity-dependent regulation of  channels affects excitatory synaptic plasticity is unknown. In a companion article we have reported activity-dependent regulation of GIRK channel density in cultured hippocampal neurons that requires activity oF receptors (NMDAR) and protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) and takes place within 15 min. In this study, we performed whole-cell recordings of cultured hippocampal neurons and found that NMDAR activation increases basal GIRK current and GIRK channel activation mediated by adenosine A(1) receptors, but not GABA(B) receptors. Given the similar involvement of NMDARs, adenosine  receptors, and PP1 in depotentiation of LTP caused by low-frequency stimulation that immediately follows LTP-inducing high-frequency stimulation, we wondered whether NMDAR-induced increase in GIRK channel surface density and current may contribute to the molecular mechanisms underlying this specific depotentiation. Remarkably, GIRK2 null mutation or GIRK channel blockade abolishes depotentiation of LTP, demonstrating that GIRK channels are critical for depotentiation, one form of excitatory synaptic plasticity.
