Introduction Enzymes are key players in metabolism. A metabolism is the organic processes in a cell or an organism that are necessary for life. An enzyme affects the rate at which a reaction occurs when the activation energy is lowered. In this reaction the reactant is called the substrate which is that combine with enzymes molecules to form a temporary enzyme substrate complex. During this products are formed and the enzyme molecules released is unchanged. For the substrate complex to form the

“molecular unit of currency” -a chemical compound which cells use to store energy or to release energy. -consists of the adenine‚ ribose sugar‚ and 3 other phosphate groups. ATP’s main purpose is to transport chemical energy within cells for metabolism. In this production‚ the Mitochondrion is the production centers of ATP. NADH and FADH2 • Are electron carriers that are collected during cellular transport • Collects energy that will be turned into ATP during the Electron Transportation

absorption is also slower. The amount of alcohol absorbed along with factors of weight‚ body fat‚ sex‚ and in some cases race all depends on your blood alcohol concentration (or BAC). This is the ratio of alcohol absorbed to the rate of your metabolism. Alcohol is only metabolized through the liver‚ and cannot be speed up with the use of exercise‚ drinking coffee‚ eating certain food‚ or taking a cold shower. Alcohol has a generally negative impact on health. Chronic use of alcohol will have

Creatine Did you know that over 80% of the athletes who participated in the Olympic Games held in Atlanta in 1996 said they had used creatine to improve their performance during their events? That is pretty startling. These athletes were attempting to use creatine to help restore lost energy and build muscle. Creatine supplements have some benefits that have been documented in various research studies‚ however there are some risks as well. Different governing bodies and health professionals have
