What else can I help you with?
Provides an orange cast to the skin?
The orange cast on the skin is likely due to using a self-tanning product containing too much DHA (dihydroxyacetone). To improve, try using a gentle exfoliant to remove excess color and fade the orange tone. It's also helpful to moisturize regularly to aid in the fading process.
What is a zymase?
Zymase substrate is the chemical on which the enzyme zymase acts on. Substrate used could depend on the variety of yeast from which the enzyme is extracted. But, the common substrates are glucose, fructose and maltose.
Can you convert fat to glucose?
yes in fasted states (or when you have used your glycogen stores), glucagon or adrenaline can breakdown stored triglycerides (in adipose tissue) into glycerol and fatty acids. The glycerol goes to the liver when it is involved in gluconeogenesis (synthesis of glucose from non-carb source). This is essentially a reversal of glycolysis: The glycerol molecule is converted to dihydroxyacetone phosphate, which then is converted to fructose 1,6 biphosphate and then after a number of steps, is converted to glucose. I dont think the glycerol molecule is converted to pyruvate, but instead joins in the pathway at the step decribed above.
What are the steps of glycolysis in order?
Glycolysis is an ancient biochemical process which, broadly speaking, splits glucose into pyruvate so that it can progress into the link reaction. it is an anaerobic process. Glucose is a hexose sugar and is therefore stable, to split it in two it needs to be "activated" first.1. in the cytoplasm of cells (not necessarily in the mitochondria) one molecule of inorganic phosphate (from the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and Pi) bonds with the sixth carbon atom of glucose to form glucose-6-phosphate.2. still in the cytoplasm, another inorganic phosphate molecule (Pi) bonds to the first carbon atom of glucose to form glucose-1,6-bisphosphate. (i've been taught the prefix bissome people use di) this compound converts to its isomer fructose-1,6 bisphosphate.3. the fructose 1,6-bisphosphate splits into two molecule of triose phosphate. the double phosphorylation (addition of two phosphate groups) made the original glucose unstable which is why it is able to split in two.4. two hydrogen molecules are removed from each molecule of triose phosphate. so that it is oxidised. this is carried out by dehydrogenase enzymes5. the coenzyme NAD acts as a hydrogen acceptor. it works with the dehydrogenase enzyme and accepts two hydrogen atoms to become reduced NAD. two molecules of ATP are also formed at this stage. this is substrate level phosphorylation. two molecules of reduced NAD are formed for each glucose (remember one glucose splits into two triose phophate)6. four more enzyme catalysed reactions convert the triose phosphate molecules into pyruvate. which is also a three carbon compound. in this stage another two molecules of ADP are phosphorylated by adding one inorganic phosphate to each molecule.)net gain: two molecules of ATPtwo molecules of reduced NAD (these will carry hydrogen atoms to the inner mitrochondrial membranes and be used to generate more ATP through oxidative phosphorylationtwo molecules of Pyruvate which will be actively transported to the mitrochondrial matrix for the next stage of anaerobic respiration. in the absence of oxygen the pyruvate in the cytoplasm will be converted to lactic acid or ethanol
What is glycosis?
Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose, C6H12O6, into pyruvate, C3H6O3-. The free energy released in this process is used to form the high energy compounds, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADH (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)
Dihydroxyacetone is converted to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate by what category of enzyme?
Isomerase
What are the two types of reactions convert glycerol to dihydroxyacetone phosphate?
The two types of reactions that convert glycerol to dihydroxyacetone phosphate are glycerol kinase and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Glycerol kinase phosphorylates glycerol to form glycerol-3-phosphate, which is then oxidized by glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase to produce dihydroxyacetone phosphate.
How does 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde get changed into dihydroxyacetone phosphate?
This reaction is catalyzed by Triose phosphate isomerase
What is the difference in chemical structure between dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde phosphate?
Dihydroxyacetone phosphate has a ketone group and two hydroxyl groups, while glyceraldehyde phosphate has an aldehyde group and one hydroxyl group. Both molecules are three-carbon compounds involved in the glycolysis pathway. Glyceraldehyde phosphate is an intermediate in glycolysis, while dihydroxyacetone phosphate can be converted to glyceraldehyde phosphate.
What is an aldolase?
An aldolase is an enzyme, present in some tissues, which catalyzes the conversion of phosphates of fructose to those of glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone.
What is the function of aldolase in regulation of glycolysis?
Aldolase catalyzes the cleavage of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate in glycolysis. This step is irreversible and serves as a regulatory point in glycolysis, controlling the flow of metabolites through the pathway.
What are examples of monosacharide?
glucose, galactose, fructose, ribose (found in RNA), deoxyribose (found in DNA), glyceraldehyde & dihydroxyacetone (the simplest monosaccharides)
What happened to dihydroxyacetone phosphate?
Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) is an important intermediate in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. It is produced from fructose-1,6-bisphosphate and can be isomerized to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate by the enzyme triose phosphate isomerase. DHAP is also involved in lipid synthesis and can be converted into glycerol-3-phosphate, which is a precursor for triglyceride formation. Overall, DHAP plays a crucial role in carbohydrate metabolism and energy production.
4th reaction of glycolysis. reactants, products, enzymes, reversibility?
Fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate. Aldolase
What are the list of ingredients in Adonia Bronzing Glow?
ethoxydiglycol dihydroxyacetone troxerutin plus the list of organic ingredients on the web site. these ingredients are listed on the bottle of adonia bronzing glow
How safe for your skin is spray tan?
A spray tan is a safe alternative to spending countless hours in the sun ultraviolet rays. The main ingredient in spray tan bottles is dihydroxyacetone, which will tan skin for a few days and is harmless to the skin.
Which compound has the empirical formula ch2o?
CH2O is not only the empirical but also the molecular formula for formaldehye. It is also the empirical but not the molecular formula for hydroxyacetaldehyde, acetic acid, methyl formate, 1,3-dihydroxyacetone, and many other compounds.
