Glycogen

The Michaelis constant, Km, is the amount of substrate needed for the enzyme to obtain half of its maximum rate of reaction. (Oregon 2015) It reveals the enzymes affinity for the substrate and shows the magnitude of the enzymes affect on changing the rate of the reaction. For example, an enzyme with a high Km needs a large concentration of substrate to efficiently increase the rate of the reaction. (Oregon 2015) A low Km indicates that the enzyme will increase the rate of reaction with a small…

BTEC level three sub diploma in health and social care Homeostasis Task three . in this task I will be talking about the concept of homeostasis and the response it gives to the human body ,how it also plays a role in the human body and also the changes in the internal environment during excursive the concept of homeostatic is the understanding of how our body works as one. Homeostatic is a system that works in order to keep the body maintained in its internal environment even in external…

blood glucose levels, such as during periods of fasting or during prolonged labor or exercise. In response, the alpha cells of the pancreas secrete the hormone glucagon, which has several effects: It stimulates the liver to convert its stores of glycogen back into glucose. This response is known as glycogenolysis. The glucose is then released into the circulation for use by body cells. It stimulates the liver to take up amino acids from the blood and convert them into glucose. This response is…

There are many people who are newly diagnosed with diabetes each year. In people with diabetes, the insulin is not doing its job causing the sugar to remain in the blood stream; which results in a lack of energy needed for everyday functioning. Health care personnel educate patients about maintaining their diabetes, but their time is limited. This is the reason Diabetic nurse educators are important, because they have the time to teach about diabetes, how to check sugars, and how to handle sick…

Overall, these properties allow it to: provide habitats for animals; transport substances around organisms; regulate and participate in cell reactions and help animals maintain a constant blood temperature. Water’s small size is important for plants as it is able to diffuse by osmosis into plant cells which creates turgor as the vacuole swells pressing against the cell wall. This pressure helps plants stand up straight and not wilt causing death As water is lost by transpiration from the…

ANSWER 1 IDDM: Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease, which starts to develop in childhood it was known as juvenile onset as well. It is a progressive destruction of autoimmune pancreatic beta cells depending upon the individuals. Genetically individuals develop islets of autoantibodies from months to years before diagnosing type 1 diabetes. Glucose level is increased as the body starts to produce low level of insulin and glucose is eliminated in the form of urine. Weight loss, frequent…

Macromolecules are of great interest to the study of anatomy and physiology due to the fact that they carry out most functions of a cell providing it with life. They provides structural support, a source of stored fuel, the ability to store and retrieve genetic information, and ability to speed biochemical reactions (Prakash, 2008). There are four main types of macromolecules including proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acid and lipids. This essay is specifically on the study of carboyhdrates as…

go for a longer period of time without needing rest. Caffeine is also a substance in which it will increase the availability of free fatty acids for ATP production, which will then stimulate fat oxidization. This will assist in sparing some muscle glycogen and consequently enhance performance in endurance events that last more then an…
