and the respiratory system. Whilst explaining the two body systems I will be explaining energy production, process of cellular respiration, the role of enzymes within these body systems, the way that these systems absorb food and the products of digestion. The Cardiovascular System The heart pumps the blood around the body through the blood vessels which is made of mostly veins and capillaries. The blood carries the dissolved oxygen around the bodily cells, whilst carrying the dissolved oxygen

Biology – Science 206 Energy, Metabolism, and Cells – Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration John Carter August 11, 2013 1. Explain how photosynthesis and respiration are linked in order to provide you with energy from the food you eat. Photosynthesis can be defined as the process that living organisms such as plants use to translate the sun’s energy into chemical energy. Once the plant has translated the sun’s energy into chemical energy it then releases that energy and makes it

1. Cells 1.1 Describe the structure and function of animal cells to include: * cell membrane * Exhibits selective permeability, regulates the passage of material into and out of the cell. * Lipid membrane one factor responsible for the control of material into and out of the cell, in addition to the proteins in the membrane. * Hydrophobic interior prevents charged or v. Polar molecules from diffusing across membrane. Small non-charged can pass through * cytoplasm * nucleus:

Photosynthesis and Respiration and the Links Shawna Smith November 24, 2013 IP2-SCIE206-Biology Photosynthesis and Respiration and the Links The sun plays a vital role in the survival of life on our planet. We all use its light for many reasons. We use it to create energy for some of our basic needs. There are other ways to create energy for some of our daily life, and other living things can create energy by no light source. The energy is produced by photosynthesis and respiration. This

the heart to beat faster, the liver convert glycogen to glucose, bronchi of the lungs dilate and support increased gas exchange, digestion inhibited and secretion of adrenaline from the adrenal medulla is accelerated. The changes that happened in the digestive system and urinary system at this time, is the stimulation of the sympathetic division, this inhibits digestion and urination so that the internal fluid in Jim’s blood would be maintained. For this reason, Jim was sweating. Jim blood glucose

researching up on the process. I am a beer connoisseur and the fact that I was able to see all the methods and ingredients of the beer being applied and fermented was astonishing. Now I completely understand the process of fermentation, where the anaerobic digestion generates adenosine triphosphate ( ATP) then creates a compound such as carbohydrates. The ingredients of making beer is hops, yeast, sugar, water, and malted barley but there is other breweries that can add other ingredients into beer like

The CW Retentate fraction The retentate whey fraction contains globular proteins that can be isolated from whey. The whey protein concentrate (WPC) and whey Protein Isolate (WPI) are used in the food industry cosmetology and pharmacology (see tab 3, P4 and P5 processes; 1.15,1.17). The proteins, are present in CW in quantity of 6 grams/liter represent 15%–22% of milk proteins, are considered beneficial for health and are characterized by high nutritional value and therapeutic potential [1.17,1

energy metabolism of the Canis familiaris’ (dog) energy metabolism and regulation. 2. Diet, digestion and absorption The dog is a carnivore and consumes a diet consisting mainly of fat and protein with a small amount of carbohydrates (Edwards et al. 2011). The digestive tract of the dog is relatively simple compared to herbivores, the stomach and small intestine are the main digestion area’s for the dog, the stomach expands to temporarily store a large amount of food to accommodate for

Unit 2: Cell Biology SCIE206-1401B-08 Photosynthesis and cellular respiration make one large cycle that sustains life on earth. Through photosynthesis the suns energy is constantly being transformed into glucose, which is a chemical energy. Respiration is the chemical activity that occurs in all plants and animal cells that release the energy from the glucose. Photosynthesis cannot exist with cellular respiration, they are completely linked together in providing the energy through the food
