Air, like other fluids, moves from a region of higher pressure to a region of lower pressure. The flow of air into the lungs. requires that a pressure gradient between the atmosphere and the alveoli be established. This driving pressure. gradient is accomplished by the contraction of the inspiratory muscles.
Rabbit muscle phosphoglucomutase, drawn from PDB: 1JDY â. Phosphoglucomutase (EC 5.4.2.2) is an enzyme that transfers a phosphate group on an Î±-D-glucose monomer from the 1' to the 6' position in the forward direction or the 6' to the 1' position in the reverse direction.More precisely, it facilitates the interconversion of glucose 1-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate.hosphoglucomutase also acts in the opposite fashion when blood glucose levels are high. In this case, phosphoglucomutase catalyzes the conversion of glucose 6-phosphate (which is easily generated from glucose by the action of hexokinase) to glucose 1-phosphate.
During glycolysis, energy is released from the breakdown of sugar, and it's used to make ATP. Specifically, glucose is broken down to pyruvic acid (or pyruvate) in the cell's cytoplasm. Glycolysis is an anaerobic process, as it does not require molecular oxygen.erobic metabolism produces 34 ATP per glucose, thus making better use of the remaining glucose. Aerobic metabolism utilizes both the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, which make 34 ATP using energy from a single glucose molecule.
