There is some evidence that certain inherited gene mutations can increase the risk of cancers of the colon and rectum. 1  For instance, some forms of colorectal cancer, and their underlying causes, have been associated with family history. Those include: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) â This rare condition triggers the development of thousands of polyps in the lining of the colon and rectum.
ADP is a lower-energy molecule that can be changed back into ATP by the addition of another phosphate group. Different types of carbon-based molecules (carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins) can be broken down to produce ATP. The breakdown of the different molecules produces different amounts of ATP. Carbohydrates, especially the simple sugar glucose, are most commonly broken down to make ATP.
ALL organisms have glycolysis occurring in their cytoplasm. At steps 1 and 3 ATP is converted into ADP, inputting energy into the reaction as well as attaching a phosphate to the glucose. At steps 6 and 9 ADP is converted into the higher energy ATP. At step 5 NAD+ is converted into NADH + H+.
