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.
The breakdown of carbs to provide energy without oxygen is called anaerobic glycolysis. This process releases energy very rapidly. Glucose, or blood sugar, and stored carbs in the form of glycogen in your muscle cells are broken down through a series of steps to form a compound called pyruvate. This process yields two to three molecules of ATP for each molecule of glucose.
