N P Active Site
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...

To answer these questions we must first define what extinction means, what types are there and why do they occur. As extinction is a continual product of natural selection, since the dawn of competition spawned by the first meiosis event, natural selection has altered all life on earth, precariously engaging in life experiments some that work and some that dont. Those ...

Genetically Engineered Calvin Cycle
827 wordsC 3 and C 4 plants have two things in common, they both are found in hot and very dry areas and they both use photo respiration. However, the difference is the way they react toward water loss which will affect photosynthesis. If a C 3 plant starts to transpire rapidly because it is photosynthesizing and the stomata are open, then it will close the stomata, ending photosynthesis. What the plant does next is undergo a counterproductive cycle called photo respiration. In the C 3 plant photo respir...
