Oxidative phosphorylation and chemiosmotic theory: suggested detail for students of A-level biology. (See also the accompanying Powerpoint figures.) 1. Introduction to oxidative phosphorylation for A-level students The mitochondria of animal cells can use energy made available in metabolic reactions, such as those involved in the oxidation of sugars and fats, to make ATP. The process is known as "oxidative phosphorylation"; energy released by oxidation is used to drive the phosphorylation

MBK – Lab Report Name: __Jade Smart___ Section: ___________________ Aseptic Technique and Culturing Microbes Part 3: Generating Microbial Cultures: Observe your organisms after 24 hours to assess the growth patterns of all tubes. If there is no observable growth allow the tubes to incubate an additional 24 hours. Record your observations. Questions: A. What is the difference between a bactericidal and bacteriostatic agent? Between sterilization and disinfecting

Metabolism Western Governors University Aston Portis 1. All enzymes are catalyst because they cause a chemical reaction to take place faster than it would on its own. It also does not get used during the reaction (Hudon-Miller, 2012). 2. (Hudon-Miller, 2012). 3. (Hudon-Miller, 2012). 4. Fructose is component of sucrose, normal table sugar, along with glucose. Whereas glucose is able to immediately enter into glycolysis, fructose is not. Fructose is broken down via fructokinase

Task 4: Metabolism 1. They speed up reactions and do not change themselves, which means they can be used over and over. Enzymes help facilitate chemical reactions. Enzymes will lower the activation energy needed to start the reaction and that is how the reaction will be sped up. Enzymes are specific for certain reactions and are proteins. Not all catalysts though are enzymes. (Sanders, 2014) 2. (Gresham HS IB Biology, 2007) 3. (Hudon-Miller, S. 2012) 4 & 5. When table sugar

exercising so the results would be accurate. The equipment that i used in the experiment was accurate but when i did my measurements some of time was inaccurate because I didn’t measure it straight away. Aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration take place. During aerobic respiration breathing rate increases to bring

Photosynthetic Stages Joe Alanis BIO/204 March 19, 2016 Cynthia Collins-Clausen Explain how CO2 enters leaves. What environmental factors control stomatal movement? How are these factors related to physical and chemical properties that control the opening and closing of stomata? CO2 is capable of entering into the leaves from very tiny pores located under the leaf called “stomata”, where it is then used to help synthesize carbohydrates from light energy. When the process ceases and the

Respiration Glossary Term | Definition | Glycolysis | Metabolic pathway in the first stage of respiration. Occurs in the cytoplasm | | Addition of a phosphate group to a molecule e.g. ADP to form ATP | Hydrolysis | Splitting a large molecule into smaller molecules by the chemical addition of water | | Enzyme/Protein complexes which can pick up and then pass on electrons | | An enzyme associated with the stalked particles in mitochondria which catalyses the addition of phosphate to

Aim 2: Elucidate the effects of physiological and non-physiological reductants on electron flow to nitrogenase Rationale Because nitrogenase is readily reduced by artificial electron donors such as dithionite (DT) in vitro, studies using physiological electron donors are limited (11). Thus, to gain more realistic insight into electron transfer events taking place, in vivo studies will be conducted using physiological electron donors. The diazotroph A. vinelandii contains several Flds and Fds (6,

Lactate dehydrogenase catalyzes the last step of anaerobic glycolysis. In addition to the production of ATP glycolysis also yields the pyruvate and NADH. NADH is later used in the electron transport system for generating more ATP with enzymes located with membrane of the mitochondria. When Oxygen is absent, cells must go through fermentation. The purpose of this process is to get NAD. This NAD is recycled and without this step, glycolysis would not occur. Fermentation occurs in muscle fibers during
