within the body‚ known as Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). These metabolic pathways are reliant on certain energies of reactions; according to Gibbs’ free energy (ΔG)‚ referring to the change in usable energy available for a reaction. Many of these cellular pathways involve ΔG‚ where if ΔG < 0 it is an exergonic reaction‚ and if ΔG > 0 then it is an endergonic reaction. We are able to observe these various metabolic pathways within the body of an athlete as they perform a 1 hour race. At the very start

1. Explain how photosynthesis and respiration are linked in order to provide you with energy from the food you eat. To start off with we will need to define photosynthesis and respiration. Photosynthesis is a process in which carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and certain inorganic salts are converted into carbohydrates by green plants‚ algae and certain bacteria using energy from the sun and chlorophyll (dictionary.com). Respiration is all of the physical and chemical processes in an organism by which oxygen

During this process mitosis has the function of permitting cells to replace ones that are worn out‚ damaged‚ or need to be replicated for single cells organism. Where mitosis is asexual cellular reproduction‚ meiosis not only multiplying the numbers of cells by cell division‚ but it reduces the number of chromosomes in each daughter cell to one-half of the number before meiosis (Pruitt and Underwood‚ 2006). Meiosis also permits chromosomes

returns to its resting potential. This is a cycle because this process repeats every time a nerve impulse is passed down the axon‚ and is important as it allows the action potential to be passed along the axon. Examples of biological cycles at a cellular level include the cell cycle‚ mitosis and meiosis. Most eukaryotic cells follow this process‚ which includes a growth stage‚ mitosis or nuclear division‚ and cytokinesis. Throughout interphase‚ the cell undergoes growth and metabolic activities.

The production of ATP within the mitochondria involves two metabolic cycles called the "Krebs" or "citric acid" cycle‚ and the oxidative phosphorylation electron transport chain.

Cell Respiration Respiration is the process by which organisms burn food to produce energy. The starting material of cellular respiration is the sugar glucose‚ which has energy stored in its chemical bonds. You can think of glucose as a kind of cellular piece of coal: chock-full of energy‚ but useless when you want to power a stereo. Just as burning coal produces heat and energy in the form of electricity‚ the chemical processes of respiration convert the energy in glucose into usable form. Adenosine
