    Sugar Metabolism Title: The effectiveness of glucose and fructose metabolism in individuals of resting and exercising observed through blood glucose concentration. Aim: To study the mechanisms of the body involved in absorbing and metabolizing sugar in the form of glucose and fructose and examine the effect of exercise on the rate of removal of glucose from the bloodstream. Introduction: The blood glucose concentration in the blood is interceded by the human body via negative feedback mechanism

    Glucose Oxidase and Its Various Uses Aaron Truong Since glucose oxidase has an end product called hydrogen peroxide‚ which is a harmful substance to bacteria‚ it can be used to fight bacteria‚ or sterilize objects (can have various uses such as in hand sanitizers‚ toothpaste‚ soap‚ etc)‚ not just biosensors. Another key part in the reaction would be C6H12O6‚ or glucose. Glucose oxidase can be applied to diabetics as mentioned earlier‚ as biosensors work by "keeping track of the

    pathway for glucose oxidation. Similar to glycolysis‚ but instead of having pyruvate as the end product it is diverted to other pathways. Supplier of energy to the cell in the form of NADPH (a reducing power for biosynthesis). It is also referred to as hexose monophosphate shunt. *Fate of glucose 6-phosphate (G 6-P) IN THE PPP (S. 71) Taken out from glycolysis and converted into Ribulose 5-phosphate.

    Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City (November 26‚ 1990‚ p. 52-59). Glucose is known to be chemically active and can form a temporary bond with many proteins‚ including hemoglobin. Over time‚ some of these proteins become permanently attached to the glucose and these sticky fragments aggregate to form what Brownlee calls "biological superglue". Brownlee suggests that this superglue is a "source of constant irritation" that acts like a splinter. The body reacts by thickening the walls

    evolved than MgSO₄. In the second set-up‚ six Smith fermentation tubes were used each containing different 15mL solution (starch‚ lactose‚ sucrose‚ glucose‚ fructose or distilled H₂O). the tubes were then added with 15 mL distilled H2O and 15 mL 10% yeast suspension. Here‚ results show that fructose had the highest rate of respiration followed by glucose‚ sucrose‚ lactose‚ starch and H₂O. Thus‚ simpler substrate would mean higher rate of respiration.
