I'd rather not do your homework for you! This is a question on my hw - with the exact wording from my worksheet! conincidence? i think not! anywho, if I come up with the answer I'll let ya know. and what do you know, its on my homework too!
the cytoplasm.
cytoplasm :)
cellular respiration
ATP is important to the cell because it provides the energy it needs for all its functions.
30 days depending on if you smoke any between that time or not.
beta oxidation is the breakdown of fatty acids..occurs in mitochondria
To put it simply, enzymes are proteins that catalyze or speed up the reaction of processes within cells. So when an enzyme attaches to a process, such as metabolism, it can speed up the process. Enzymes regulate those processes by either being "on" or "off", meaning that some energy source such as ATP transfers a phosphate to the enzyme, changing its shape and turning it "on", and allowing it to catalyze the reaction. A good example of this is oxidative phosphorylation, in which the transfer of electrons and protons across the cell membrane at the electron transfer chain site move into a mitochondria, increasing the concentration of protons inside it, and the protons move from this concentrated proton area to the less concentrated area outside the mitochondria through an enzyme called ATP synthetase. This transfer across the membrane creates energy inside the ATP synthetase, like a water-mill, and the synthetase changes ATP into ADP and phosphorylated water, and ADP back into ATP. This facilitates an energy cycle, and thus affects metabolism.
Autophagy, being the degradation of cytoplasmic components as well as other organelles, is generally done with the lysosomes. The lysosomes, contain enzymes (hydrolase and others)to digest these worn out, damaged, or infected parts, which keeps the cell healthy and clean. mTOR regulates this process (mammalian target of rapamycin). I don't know of any other organelles that are involved in this process but lysosomes do carry out a similar procedure to autophagy. It's called autolysis, and that is basically when the lysosome, excretes all of its digestive juices into the cell. It's like a self destruct and the entire cell is condemned to a digestive end. Don't worry, it only applies to damaged cells.
There are two basic kinds of cellular metabolism. One is the krebs cycle (citric acid cycle) which all aerobic organisms use to produce energy, Anaerobic metabolism can occur in several mechanisms, but is mostly commonly called "fermentation"
ATP also called adenosine triphosphate.
It is based around the same nitrogenous base as the DNA and RNA adenine nucleotide is, except it is not attached to a sugar and has three phosphate groups instead of the one phosphate group that the adenine nucleotide has.
Energy is released.
it is broken down to fuel chemical reactions & is created by chemical reactions.
Initially, no.
Anaerobic exercise is really a misnomer. The work done still requires oxygen it is just that the oxygen is supplied eventually and not while performing the action. This is because the body is using glucose to the point of producing lactic acid. This is feasible for a short period of time, but eventually the oxygen debt created while using this pathway has to be repaid to deal with the lactic acid by converting it back into glucose. A good example is a sprint. After the end of the sprint there is a period of recuperation and panting required.
