Overview Snake venom is the poison fluid normally secreted by venomous snakes when biting. It is produced in the glands‚ and injected by the fangs. Snake venom is used to immobilize and/or kill prey‚ and used secondarily in defence. It is a clear‚ viscous fluid of amber or straw colour. There are two main types of venom produced by snakes‚ containing primarily either: *Neurotoxins - these attack the nervous system. *Hemotoxins - these attack the circulatory system. While most snakes’ venom contains

1 Western Governors University 2 Hereditary Fructose Intolerance Metabolism is the process of cellular respiration. It involves three steps‚ 1) glycolysis‚ 2) the citric acid or Krebs cycle and 3) electron transport system. The glycolytic pathway or glycolysis is a metabolic process that leads to the formation of the energy source adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the body. ATP is essential to the cell and the cellular processes used by the cell. The first step‚ glycolysis is the process

Biochemistry GRT 1 Task 4 -Case Studies Marie Marks Western Governors University Introduction The two case studies given both involve in the processes of making energy that the body needs to maintain and sustain life. Each case is a different diagnosis but they both have some involvement in the production of ATP and other products when creating energy. If someone has an issue with the production of energy it is hard to maintain life in the body. The body has many different enzymes that are

All living things require the input of energy to exist – this energy is used to drive the thousands of biochemical reactions that occur to allow the organism to grow‚ reproduce and sustain life. This energy comes almost always from the Sun‚ in the rst instance – energy from sunlight is captured by photosynthetic organisms (e.g. plants‚ algae‚ certain bacteria) and converted into carbohydrates. These are then broken down by a process called cellular respiration‚ to produce energy-rich molecules (e

During my research‚ I focused my efforts on the size and location‚ research opportunities‚ and values of my prospective college and New York University appealed to all three categorizes and more. I want to major in biochemistry at the Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology. Specifically‚ I am interested in studying neuroscience. I was born with Erb’s Palsy‚ an injury that damaged a portion of the nerves of my brachial plexus and left my right arm paralyzed. It took years of therapy

I have studied a variety of subjects such as animal biology‚ genetics‚ comparative vertebrate anatomy‚ immunology‚ plant biology‚ biochemistry‚ and animal behavior. I have been challenged in new ways to think‚ when I fail I seek to find new approaches to solutions and remain persistent. Biochemistry was a very difficult course‚ with may cycles and chemical processes that are very precise and intricate. By repeated drawing of each step I was able to remember and
