ENZYMOLOGY DISORDERS OF METABOLISM By Wieslaw Faliszewski Our cells are using various types of substances in order to perform their functions. They also use them as a source of energy to perform all the required tasks. Some of those compounds come from the outside in the form of consumed food; others are synthesized in our body. Majority of those compounds have to be broken into simpler parts that can be used in different metabolic processes. The problem is‚ however‚ that most of the

Aerobic metabolism‚ uses fats‚ proteins and carbohydrates that are oxidized and turned into carbon dioxide and water. Anaerobic metabolism‚ uses only carbohydrates and enters the fluid‚ or cytoplasm‚ of the cell and is turned into lactic acid. Aerobic exercises are running‚ biking‚ and swimming‚ whereas anaerobic exercises are sprinting‚ jumping‚ weight training. 3. My activity is considered

Lactic acid is produced when oxygen levels in the body drop. Causes Causes The most common cause is intense exercise. However‚ it can also be caused by certain diseases‚ such as sepsis‚ respiratory failure‚ cardiac failure‚ AIDS‚ cancer‚ and kidney failure. Metformin‚ a common

question. For these reasons‚ researchers have endeavored to engineer plants with genes that can bestow superior degradation abilities. A direct method for enhancing the efficacy of phytoremediation is to overexpress in plants the genes involved in metabolism‚ uptake‚ or transport of specific pollutants. Furthermore‚ the expression of suitable genes in root system enhances the rhizodegradation of highly recalcitrant compounds like PAHs‚ PCBs etc. Hence‚ the idea to amplify plant biodegradation of xenobiotics

cellular activities generate little heat. Their body temperatures rise and fall with ambient temperature changes. Most organisms are ectotherms. Examples are plants‚ all invertebrates‚ fish‚ amphibians and reptiles - ENDOTHERMS are organisms whose metabolism generates enough heat to maintain an internal temperature independent of the ambient temperature. Examples are birds and mammals - EXTENSION (Not really needed but anyway...) Poikilotherms are animals whose body temperatures are always changing

Strength is operationally defined as the maximal force that can be exerted in a single effort. Using this definition‚ strength should be assessed using one repetition maximum (1 RM)‚ though we often estimate strength using tests that may involve multiple repetitions. 2. In strength training and rehabilitation‚ emphasis should be given to both the concentric

The tetrazolium test indicates the presence of redox reaction‚ which signifies metabolic activity by turning samples that perform metabolism a pink color. Sucrose was used as a control to show that the test is accurate in that it does not turn samples that do not perform metabolism pink. Sucrose was not turned pink‚ which validates the accuracy of the tetrazolium test. As expected‚ samples ALV-882-21 and ALV-694-02 did not turn pink; the Feulgen’s/Schiff’s

the air‚ through the circulatory system throughout which metabolism uses oxygen to convert these nutrients into ATP for energy use (Johnson 1980). When an organism is experiencing starvation it is not receiving enough nutrients to support the normal rate of ATP and hence energy production and so slows all metabolic processes in the body in order to preserve energy for survival (Jacobstein and Gerken‚ 1989). With the decreased rate of metabolism there is less demand for oxygen and so the rate of oxygen
