“In this lesson, we will review cellular respiration and explore a distinct, important part of its process: glycolysis. We will also cover the role of enzymes, ATP, and oxygen in glycolysis.
What is Cellular Respiration?
Imagine you're visiting a beach town and plan on walking the boardwalk, playing arcade games, eating funnel cake and ice cream and riding the ferris wheel. It's a cash-only boardwalk and you need change for the $100 bill you brought with you on vacation. The cash register, bank or bill vending machine you change the $100 bill at is like cellular respiration. Sound crazy? Keep following the story.

Let's say you get change from the local bank on the boardwalk. The bank gives you two $20 bills, four $10 bills, two $5 bills and ten $1 bills. The money you get back from the bank is energy (we will define what that energy is shortly). Now that you have the change (energy) you need to do all the fun things you want on the boardwalk, you meet back up with your family and the rest is history.

Back to Science
Cellular respiration is the process by which your body converts biochemical energy from nutrients in the food you consume into energy that's usable by the body. It's the broad term that describes the set of metabolic reactions and processes that occur in the body that allow us to utilize food as an energy source.

Cellular respiration was the bank in our example because it took one large bill and broke it down into smaller bills, which were used for different activities. Cellular respiration oxidizes food into energy in the form of ATP, adenosine triphosphate. ATP in our example was the change given to us by the bank. ATP is used as energy at the cellular level in our bodies.

NADH is also a form of cellular energy, and while it's not as important in our lesson as ATP is, it is still a byproduct of cellular respiration. NADH stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, but you can just remember it as NADH for now.

Glycolysis
Glycolysis is one of the main processes involved in cellular respiration. Glycolysis is the pathway that converts sugar into energy, or glucose (C6H12O6) into pyruvate (CH3COCOO), generating ATP during the conversion.

An important term to know is catabolism. Catabolism is the breaking down of larger molecules into smaller ones (conversely, anabolism is the building of larger molecules from smaller ones). Glycolysis is catabolic; it breaks down glucose, a 6 carbon sugar into pyruvate, a 3 carbon sugar. The truth is in the name: glyco for glucose, and lysis, Greek for 'to unbind'. Glycolysis literally means 'breaking down glucose'.

Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of the cell: the cytosol is the fluid component of the cytoplasm, the area inside a cell's membrane which contains the organelles. Glycolysis does not need oxygen to occur; it is completely independent of molecular oxygen and can proceed without it. However the energy byproducts, ATP and NADH, do require oxygen to be utilized.

Glycolysis is unique because it is completely anaerobic - meaning it doesn't require oxygen and will proceed with or without it. Unlike the next steps in cellular respiration, which absolutely require oxygen to occur.

Let's review. Glycolysis breaks down glucose into pyruvate, and the byproducts of this reaction include ATP and NADH, which are used as energy sources by our bodies. This reaction is oxygen-independent and occurs in the cytosol of our cells.

Steps
There are a series of ten reactions that occur in a single 'round' of glycolysis (i.e., one molecule of glucose), and three unique stages.

Each reaction is catalyzed by a specific enzyme. An enzyme is a protein that speeds up a chemical reaction and essentially allows it to occur. In the image, the specific enzymes are noted in blue.” I hope this helps you for what your looking for.

Answer:

Glycolysis converts the 6-carbon glucose into two 3-carbon pyruvate molecules. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell, and it occurs in the presence or absence of oxygen. During glycolysis a small amount of NADH is made as are four ATP

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Haemoglobin; liver; binds; stored; bile duct; small intestine; lipids.

Explanation:

Serology can be defined as the study of blood and the reactions between antibodies and antigens in the blood.

In Biology, blood pH can be defined as a measure of the hydrogen ion (H¯) concentration of blood i.e the level of alkalinity or acidity of blood.

Basically, the normal blood pH of a human being should be between 7.35 and 7.45.

Hence, one of the ways in which the body regulates blood pH is with proteins. Proteins help regulate blood pH by accepting and releasing hydrogen ions. Typically, when the blood pH falls, the hydrogen ions (H¯) are accepted (absorbed) while hydrogen ions are released when the blood pH rises.

For example, a protein such as haemoglobin which makes up a composition of the red blood cells, binds an amount of acid required to regulate blood pH.

In the spleen, haemoglobin from red blood cells is broken down to form (unconjugated) bilirubin. Unconjugated bilirubin is insoluble in blood plasma so binds to albumens in the blood and is sent to the liver. Bilirubin binds with glucuronic acid to form conjugated bilirubin. It forms part of the bile, which is stored in the gall bladder. Food in the gut stimulates gall bladder contraction and the bile passes down the bile duct to the small intestine, where it aids in the digestion of lipids.

ii. True or False: Estimates of body composition obtained with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry need to be interpreted with part
Bogdan [553]

Answer: True

 

Explanation:

The dual energy x-ray absorptimetry is a technique that is used for measuring the bone mineral density. This technique utilizes the two X-ray beams with different levels of energy. The soft tissues are subtracted in this procedure and the beam is absorbed by the bone. This technique is useful for diagnosis of osteoporosis, to check and diagnose the infected, fractured and healing bones.

Fluid retention is a condition in which excess fluid due to capillary leakage or any other reason fills up inside the circulatory system, body tissues and cavities. The following symptoms will appear:

Discolored skin, aches and tenderness in the limbs, stiffness in joints and weight gain.

The retained excess fluid may react with the X-ray beam hence, will interfere in the process of diagnosis. Thus caution should be taken for such individuals.
