In the article “Have Smart Phones Destroyed a Generation,” the writer discusses how the new world of technology has affected Millennials.

With this intention, the cause of such dramatic shifts in teen behavior was after the Great Recession and when most Americans started to own smartphones. The appearance of smartphones completely changed the…
What is Cellular respiration? This common question is asked by many young and talented 15-year-olds in biology class. Cellular respiration happens in every living organism, and help us produce ATP or otherly known as energy. Cellular respiration seems like a big process and it really is with things like the Krebs cycle, which converts things such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into energy. There are three main steps to Cellular respiration, Glycolysis, Krebs cycle and Electron transport…
Did you know that over 73% of all Americans own a cellular device? There has been more computers made in the the last five years, then there were kids who went to school in the 1920’s. First and foremost, cell phones are one of the biggest inventions we’ve had in the last 100 years. People use to have to walk and meet their friends if they wanted to talk.

synthesize amino acids, glycogen, and triglycerides. Glucose will move into most cells via facilitated diffusion through glucose transporters (GLUT) and becomes phosphorylated to glucose 6-phosphate. The process is stimulated by insulin in muscle cells. Cellular respiration occurs, which is the oxidation of glucose to CO2 and H20, involving glycoses, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis occurs to form pyruvic acid. When oxygen is in short supply, such as in aerobic…
In mammals, many functions of the body are made possible with the help of ATP. ATP is made is bulk in the mitochondria, thus, the body relies heavily on the mitochondria’s supply of ATP to make life possible (McCormack, 523). Regulation of this process, by default, is important as well. The body regulates the oxidative metabolism through placing in the regulator sites, that can increase or decrease the production of ATP through changing the concentration of (McCormack, 523). The…
The reasons why kidney and skeletal muscle chosen for the kinetic analysis of LDH: Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is the enzyme that coverts high level lactate to pyruvate and maintain equilibrium level in skeletal muscle. In the abive case Lactate dehydrogenase action is completely correlated to the muscular fatigue. The production of lactic acid during severe excerise or heavy work load is leading to muscle fatigue. Normally at rest means the excess lactate converted to pyruvate . Usually LDH…
Should students be allowed to grade their teachers? Imagine, you are an eighth-grade student walking into your new classroom.
