Re: Breakdown of Glucose?
Overall Chemical Equation. Since the breakdown of glucose is a chemical reaction, it can be described using the following chemical equation: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 --> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O, where 2870 kilojoules of energy are released for each mole of glucose that's metabolized.

Re: Fermentation in the human body
Lactic acid fermentation is the type of anaerobic respiration carried out by yogurt bacteria (Lactobacillus and others) and by your own muscle cells when you work them hard and fast.

Enzymes are protein in nature. They are called the 'Biological Catalysts' which speed up the rate of reaction. Each Enzyme has a specific shape for each substrate, the molecule that fits into enzyme at its Active site. Once attached, enzymes lower the activation energy needed to start a metabolic re...

Endocytosis and its counterpart, exocytose, are used by all cells because most chemical substances important to them are large polar molecules that cannot pass through the hydrophobic plasma or cell membrane by passive means. Endocytosis includes pinocytosis (cell drinking) and phagocytosed (cell e...

Non-competitive inhibition and allosteric inhibition- Non-competitive inhibition is a type of enzyme inhibition where the inhibitor reduces the activity of the enzyme and binds equally well to the enzyme whether or not it has already bound the substrate. The inhibitor may bind to the enzyme whether...

Adrenaline itself is a very simple hormone, and yet it has incredibly vast effects on the human body. In general it binds to adrenergic receptors which are found just about everywhere in the body. This leads to varying effects based on where adrenaline binds. The adrenaline is in charge of making so...
