Cellular respiration is the process by which food is broken down and converted into usable energy for the body. Essentially during this principally catabolic process‚ glucose molecules are broken down into energy known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Thus‚ glucose is the common energy source in cellular respiration. The process of cellular respiration begins with one glucose molecule and oxygen that yields the production of ATP as well as byproducts of water and carbon dioxide. This process is separated

Kenny Vo Microbiology Dr. Arora 10 December 2012 Flesh Eating Bacteria Necrotizing Fasciitis is a rare bacterial disease that causes the rapid decay of the fascia. The human body is said to be compose of approximately a hundred trillion cells‚ connective tissue contributes to about forty five percent of the total cell weight. It was nicknamed the flesh eating bacteria because the victims injuries would have a rotting appearance. What are the pathogens that cause this disease? Necrotizing

Microbiology‚ 2002. vol.3. Temperature and bacteria The lowest temperature at which a particular species will grow is the minimum growth temperature‚ while the maximum growth temperature is the highest temperature at which they will grow. The temperature at which their growth is optimal is called the optimum growth temperature. In general‚ the maximum and minimum growth temperatures of any particular type of bacteria are about 30°F (-1°C) apart. Most bacteria thrive at temperatures at or around that

Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria A better understanding of the use of antibiotics would help prevent the reality of antibiotic resistant bacteria evolving to the point of human extinction. Antibiotic resistance is a natural process‚ stronger bacteria survive and multiply. Even though antibiotic resistance is a natural process‚ it happens faster when antibiotics are used irresponsibly. Through use of media‚ personal responsibility and research‚ our species could help deter further antibiotic resistance

Respiration‚ digestion and rocks Respiration Respiration is a chemical reaction that happens in all living cells. It is the way that energy is released from glucose‚ for our cells to use to keep us functioning. Remember that respiration is not the same as breathing (which is properly called ventilation). The glucose and oxygen react together in the cells to produce carbon dioxide and water. The reaction is called aerobic respiration because oxygen from the air is needed for it to work. Digestion

The Identification of Two Unknown Species of Bacteria in Tube #72 Introduction: There are many reasons for knowing the identity of microorganisms. The reasons range from knowing the causative agent of a disease in a patient‚ so as to know how it can be treated‚ to knowing the correct microorganism to be used for making certain foods or antibiotics. This study was done by applying all of the methods that have been learned so far in the microbiology laboratory class for the identification of an

and Respiration Explain how photosynthesis and respiration are linked in order to provide you with energy from the food you eat: Photosynthesis is the process in which certain life forms are able to use sunlight to create energy. This energy is created by making carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of chlorophyll. Plants release large amounts of oxygen into the atmosphere as they produce much more than needed during the photosynthesis process. Aerobic respiration is an
