Connective Tissue Lactic Acid
1,736 wordsThe immediate source of energy for muscular contraction is the high-energy phosphate compound called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Although ATP is not the only energy-carrying molecule in the cell, it is the most important one, and without sufficient amounts of ATP most cells die quickly. The three main parts of an ATP molecule are: an adenine portion, a ribose portion, and three phosphates linked together. The formation of ATP occurs by combining adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosph...

Digestive Juices Interesting Facts
1,043 wordsName and Functions The part I researched, which has only one name, is the pancreas. The pancreas is an organ that produces digestive juices necessary to break down food. It also produces insulin and glucagons. Insulin and glucagons are two hormones needed to break down sugar and to regulate our metabolism. The pancreas provides a lot of power to the body. For example, it allows you to eat many foods and allows your body to feed your cells the energy they need. It also allows you to exercise with...

Carbon Dioxide Hydrogen Ions
1,424 wordsPhotosynthesis is the process by which organisms that contain the pigment chlorophyll convert light energy into chemical energy which can be stored in the molecular bonds of organic molecules. Photosynthesis powers almost all trophic chains and food webs on the Earth. The net process of photosynthesis is described by the following equation: 6 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + Light Energy = C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 This equation simply means that carbon dioxide from the air and water combine in the presence of sunli...

High Glycemic Carbohydrates High Glycemic Load Glycogen
895 wordsCarbohydrate loading The glycemic index compares equal quantities of a carbohydrate containing food; the glycemic load quantifies the overall glycemic effect of a typical portion of food. This represents the product of the amount of available carbohydrate in that serving and glycemic index of the food. A high glycemic load reflects a greater expected elevation in blood glucose and a greater insulin release. An increased risk for type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease coincides with the chron...

952 wordsGlycolysis Reaction 1 Glucose -> Glucose 6 -phosphate (G- 6 -P) The first stage of glycolysis starts from reaction of phosphorylation. Phosphorylation is catalyzed by hexokinase. It is an endothermic ATP dependent reaction and requires energy from ATP. ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP and phosphate. In such a way, glucose receives phosphate and energy. To sum up, the reaction is as follows: glucose + ATP a glucose- 6 -phosphate + ADP Reaction 2: Glucose 6 -phosphate (G- 6 -P) -> F- 6 -P (Fructose 6 -pho...

Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus Blood Glucose Levels
925 wordsDiabetes mellitus is a disorder caused by decreased production of insulin, or by decreased ability to use insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that is necessary for cells to be able to use blood sugar. The cause of diabetes mellitus is unknown, but heredity and diet are believed to play a role in its development. Diabetes results when the pancreas produces insufficient amounts of insulin to meet the bodys needs. It can also result when the pancreas produces insulin, but the cel...
