ATP is energy for cells, and without ATP or the misproduction of ATP cells, muscles, and the human body it is not able to function well. In order to make ATP for example fructose will need to be broken down. Fructose is broken-down through the lock and key process. The lock is the enzyme and the substrate is the key. The substrate that only can fit in the enzyme will work, because of the active sites on the enzyme have to have a perfect match to lock in. After locking together tightly the enzyme breaks down the substrate. For example when Sucrose is binds to an enzyme and locked in, stress is put onto the bond of glucose and fructose. Once the bond is broken down the glucose and fructose are released to go through the process of making ATP and the enzyme is able to start over binding to the next substrate.
The breaking down of Fructose to help make ATP and joining into the Glycolysis Pathway is done by adding Fructokinase from the liver and making Fructose 1 Phosphate (F-1-P) and then adding Aldolase B and making Dihydroxyacetone Phosphate (DHAP) and Glyceraldehyde. DHAP and Glyceraldehyde goes into the Glycolysis Pathway able to move forward into Pyruvate or backwards up the pathway to make more Glucose depending on what the body is in need of.
Unfortunately, the body can have hereditary fructose intolerance, which means during the break down of Fructose Aldolase B is nonfunctioning causing a buildup of F-1-P and not making DHAP and Glyceraldehyde. Because DHAP and

Exhaling Into Water After Investigating Water

1. Predict how exhaling into water after exercise will change the pH of the water (1 mark). Provide rationale for your prediction (1 mark). The predicted hydrogen (pH) is expected to decrease and become more acidic once air bubbles are blown into the water. The reaction between the carbon dioxide exhaled and the water molecules (H2O) will produce carbonic acid, which can readily lose hydrogen ions, causing the solution to change the pH becoming more acidic. 2. Provide a tabulated summary of the…

(1) “Homeostasis maintains a dynamic equilibrium of internal and external variables within set limits that allow cells of the body to continue their function.” Homeostasis means, the same – standing still, homeostasis is attempting to maintain a dynamic equilibrium, however there are multiple internal and external factors that may affect homeostasis of the human body (Cannon, 1932). Physiology allows an understanding of how the body reacts to such a change in variables. Exercise may increase body…
