3. Explain how the products of photosynthesis are transported‚ partitioned and allocated during plant growth and reproduction. Photosynthesis has been the focus of much attention than any other physiological process in flora physiology. Photosynthesis is a complex plant metabolic process‚ similar to respiration and fermentation‚ in which a plant can synthesize organic matter using light and chlorophyll. According to Kirk 1994: Photosynthesis is a complex physic-chemical process that is the central

Anabolism is a process in which energy is used to build tissues in the body whereas catabolism produces energy from the breakdown of foods and stores it in order to offer energy to the body when it is required. The energy rich compound‚ Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is considered to be the most preferential agent for energy transfer (McArdle‚ Katch & Katch‚ 2007). It is the underlying molecule which powers all cellular processes. This compound is not transferred directly to cells from macronutrients

lactate‚ and also lactic fermentation used by plants and some fungi and they convert pyruvate to ethanol and carbon dioxide. Cellular respiration is a fundamental‚ catabolic process by which food is broken down in order to produce high energy adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules. This procedure is carried out by every cell in both plants and animals and is essential for everyday living. There are three main stages to cellular respiration – glycolysis‚ the citric acid cycle and the electron transport

ATP Synthase: The World’s Smallest Motor Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a coenzyme produced in cellular mitochondria and is not only integral to cellular metabolism but also to life. The mitochondrial production of ATP‚ which occurs through a complex process called oxidative phosphorylation‚ has been determined to rely heavily on the enzyme ATP synthase. This determination was the result of a complex experiment that attempted to prove not only that ATP synthase was responsible for production

respiration: • What is cellular respiration and what are its three stages? Cellular respiration is the set of the metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP)‚ and then release waste products. The reactions involved in respiration are catabolic reactions that involve the redox reaction (oxidation of one molecule and the reduction of another. Respiration is one of the key ways a cell gains

is the intake of oxygen and energy in the form of glucose‚ and the cells ability to break it down into carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and energy required for the body to function. More scientifically‚ it is a three-step pathway that produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate.) The three stages of cellular respiration are: glycolysis‚ the citric acid cycle‚ and electron transport. Ethanol is a volatile‚ colorless liquid and is considered a psychoactive drug. Ethanol is generally known to have depressant effects

When the energy is manufactured this way by the mitochondria it is a form that can be easily used by all cells. The energy is stored by constructing a special molecule called ATP‚ or adenosine triphosphate‚ by which the covalent bonds between atoms (between phosphate components of the molecule) store a lot of energy. The other products of respiration‚ carbon dioxide and water‚ can be reused by the cells doing photosynthesis. The ATP is transmitted

TOPIC 3.7 + 8.1: CELL RESPIRATION 3.7.1 Define cell respiration. Cell respiration is the controlled release of energy from organic compounds in cells to form ATP (adenosine triphosphates). 3.7.2 State that‚ in cell respiration‚ glucose in the cytoplasm is broken down by glycolysis into pyruvate‚ with a small yield of ATP. Glycolysis in cytoplasm: Glucose 2 pyruvates + small amount of ATP (does not use oxygen) 3.7.3 Explain that‚ during anaerobic cell respiration‚ pyruvate can be

vitamin‚ it was named ubiquinone because of its ubiquitous presence in living organisms as well as their chemical structure. CoQ10 is virtually seen in every cell membrane in the human body. Energy conversion from carbohydrates and fats to ATP (adenosine triphosphate) requires the presence of CoQ10. Apart from ATP synthesis‚ CoQ10 also aids in lysosomal function. Lysosomes are the organelles inside cells which specialize in the cellular debris digestion. The lysosomes with digestive enzymes function at
