A New Brake On Cellular Energy Production Discovered

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/07/070727091009.htm

Summary: The article was talking about how scientists have found a way to slow down cellular energy production. Scientists found new mitochondrial factors that can slow down the production of this process. This new discovery could lead to new ways of treating diseases in the future.

Questions: What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration? O2+C6H12O6 -->CO2+H2O
What organelles are involved in this process? Mitochondrial DNA and mtDNA
List three things you learned from this article in your own words. Cellular respiration can be regulated, that it produces energy for the cell, and that this discovery can spur new ways of treating various diseases later on.
What impact would the absence of this process have on the biosphere? It wouldn't have an effect if it takes in the same amount of carbon-dioxide as it did oxygen.

Summary: Chemists have discovered a new group of solids capable of a threefold increase in volume when they absorb liquids. The phenomenon of respiration is normally associated with life. However, inorganic matter is very often associated with the idea rigidity and non-deformability.

Questions:Cellular Respiration
What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration? C6H1206 + 6O2 --> 6co2 + 6H2O + energy
What organelles are involved in this process? cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, etc.
List three things you learned from this article in your own words.
1. A new cellular respiration invention has been discovered.
2. Solids can now abosrb liquids due to this new discovery.
3. The new invention can help the biosphere
What impact would the absence of this process have on the biosphere?Solids are capable of absorbing liqiuds

Summary: ATP and respiration is talked about, and how it affects the brain. It also talks about some of the defects that it can cause on the body. Some of the mitochondrial defects have been
found in patients diagnosed with neurodegenerative diseases.

Questions: What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration? C6H12O6+ 6O2+6H2O+energy
What organelles are involved in this process? mitochondria
List three things you learned from this article in your own words. 1. I learned how the body works with cellular respiration. 2. I learned how this type of respiration affects the body. 3. I learned that it can cause a genetic disease if the trait is found in your genes.
What impact would the absence of this process have on the biosphere? More and more humans could start to get the disease genetically.

Summery:The Mitochondria releases energy through Cellular Resperation.A new discovery has been made involving the Mitochondria.The mtDNA helps produce energy.The discovery is that it can also slow it down.This discovery was made by Claes Gustafsson and Nils-Göran Larsson.


Questions:What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?C6H12+602-6CO2+6H20+ENERGY
What organelles are involved in this process? DNA,Mitocondira
List three things you learned from this article in your own words.mitocondria realeces energy,affects the speed of energy, and produces energy.
What impact would the absence of this process have on the biosphere?A theory hasnt been decided on, but it might slow how life works in a new enviormant.
