Aging‚ “The accumulation of diverse deleterious changes occurring in cells and tissues with advancing age that are responsible for the increased risk of disease and death.” (Tosato‚ 401). This major aspect of our life is still a mystery to scientists‚ however there are many theories behind the process‚ and reason humans and all living organisms age. Many studies have been performed to understand more about this phenomenon‚ yet no definitive theory has been stated. Free radical theory has been a popular

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

AVIATION HIGH SCHOOL | ENERGY | Energy Systems and its Production | | Alan Antony | 8/21/2012 | Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the usable form of chemical energy for muscular activity. It is stored in most cells‚ particularly in muscle cells. Other forms of chemical energy‚ such as that available from the foods we eat‚ must be transferred into ATP form before they can be utilized by the muscle cells. | Since energy is released when ATP is broken down‚ energy is required to rebuild

Enzymes‚ ATP‚ Hereditary Fructose Intolerance WGU Role of enzymes in processes The role of an enzyme is to catalyze a chemical reaction. Usually an enzyme increases the rate of speed of a reaction. Enzymes break down molecules in our body faster than they would normally break down without enzymes. Enzymes work at specific temperatures and pH levels. (Wolfe‚ 2000). For example‚ a stomach enzyme works better in a more acidic environment‚ whereas intestinal enzymes work

Case 1: Hereditary fructose intolerance Enzymes are proteins that increase the rate of chemical activity. Their three dimensional structure determines their function‚ and is made of chains of amino acids that have folded into a specific shape with a unique property. Enzymes lower the activation energy needed for a chemical reaction‚ therefore speeding up the process. Multiple enzymes work together in metabolic pathways‚ taking a product (end result) of one metabolic reaction as a substrate (substance
