Fatigue is caused when glucose is broken down and oxidized to the pyruvate‚ and lactate is produced from the pyruvate faster than the tissues can remove it‚ so lactate concentration begins to rise. First‚ ATP breaks down creating energy for the muscular contraction. Then it binds to the myosin head and reattaches itself creating contraction. Glycogen is the storage form of glucose and is used to generate energy faster‚ producing lactic acid‚ In order

to enzyme reactions. Background information: Lactose‚ the sugar found in milk‚ is a disaccharide composed of glucose and galactose (both six-sided sugars). Sucrose‚ ordinary table sugar‚ is also a disaccharide composed of fructose and glucose. Glucose is a six-sided sugar and fructose is a five-sided sugar. Lactase is an enzyme that breaks lactose down into galactose and glucose. Lactase can be purchased in pill form by people who are lactose intolerant. These people lack the enzyme‚ lactase

experiment shows that cow-based milks appear to have more glucose after lactase digestion than plant-based milks‚ with Lactaid milk containing the most glucose when it came to Tests A and B (Figure 2). Other glucose-positive results were only seen in Test A‚ as can be observed in Figure 2. In Test A‚ the milks that contained the second greatest concentrations of glucose were 2%‚ 1%‚ and nonfat‚ and the third-most concentration of glucose was found in whole milk. All other milk types and test conditions

(Wright‚ 2007) Aerobic respiration is respiration with oxygen present. (Wright‚ 2007) The formula for cellular respiration is below: Glucose +oxygen = Energy‚ carbon dioxide and water. Carbon dioxide and water are the waste products from creating energy. Respiration can happen without oxygen. This process is called anaerobic respiration. The equation glucose+ oxygen which produces energy along with the bi-products produces 38 Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). It produces more ATP because it has

will find the structural formula for sucrose. It is a disaccharide made from the simple sugars glucose (on the left) and fructose (on the right). I will caution you right now that there are many different view of sucrose on the internet‚ so if this one does not agree with your impression‚ there are reasons: 1) errors (e.g.‚ Fructose has 7 oxygens) and 2) synthesis from different forms (isomers) of glucose and fructose. | Figure 2: Structural Model of Sucrose Note: Carbon atoms are assumed at

Experiment 14. Dehydrogenase in yeast During respiration‚ hydrogen atoms are removed from glucose molecules by enzymes called dehydrogenases and passed to various chemicals called hydrogen acceptors. As the hydrogen atoms pass from one hydrogen acceptor to another‚ energy is made available for chemical reactions in the cell. In this way‚ substances such as glucose provide energy for vital reactions in living organisms. In this experiment‚ a dye called methylene blue acts as an artificial hydrogen

insulin is to maintain blood glucose homeostasis‚ Insulin also controls the transport of glucose from the bloodstream into the muscle and fat cells. The effect that insulin has on cells is that when blood glucose rises the pancreas respond by secreting into the bloodstream thus Insulin moves glucose from the blood into the cells. When insulin is not there or it doesn’t work blood glucose regulation fails and blood glucose levels rise so this shows that blood glucose is central to diabetes. When insulin

all of which are useful to living organisms. The most important carbohydrate is probable glucose. Glucose is a monosaccharide and is the monomer unit which makes up more complex polysaccharides. Two glucose molecules can be joined in a condensation reaction‚ whereby water is removed‚ for example to produce maltose‚ a disaccharide. The bond between the glucose molecules is a 1-4 glycosidic bond. Glucose is also soluble‚ a reducing sugar and the blood sugar of mammals. It is respired to produce
