The citric acid cycle (TCA cycle) occurs in the mitochondria and involves a series of reactions that oxidize acetyl groups from acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, releasing carbon dioxide and reducing equivalents (NADH and FADH2) that are used to generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. The TCA cycle produces two GTP/ATP molecules per acetyl-CoA molecule oxidized and feeds reduced electron carriers into the electron transport chain to produce additional ATP. It is also an amphibolic pathway that generates precursors for various biosynthetic pathways.
Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate. It occurs in 10 steps with 2 ATP molecules invested at the start and a net production of 2 ATP and 2 NADH. It is an important pathway as it is common to both aerobic and anaerobic respiration and generates precursors for biosynthesis. Key regulatory enzymes include hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, and pyruvate kinase which are inhibited when energy levels are high.
Glycolysis is a 10 step pathway that converts glucose into two pyruvate molecules and produces a net yield of two ATP molecules. It involves an energy-investment phase where ATP is used to phosphorylate intermediates and an energy-generation phase where ATP is produced from the oxidation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. Glycolysis is the first step in both aerobic cellular respiration and anaerobic fermentation.
GLYCOGENOLYSIS & REGULATION OF GLYCOGEN METABOLISMYESANNA
- Glycogenolysis is the degradation of glycogen stores in the liver and muscle into glucose. It is carried out by independent cytosolic enzymes.
- Glycogen phosphorylase breaks alpha-1,4 glycosidic bonds in glycogen, producing glucose-1-phosphate. A debranching enzyme then breaks alpha-1,6 bonds to fully degrade glycogen.
- Glucose-1-phosphate is converted to glucose-6-phosphate which can be further converted to glucose by glucose-6-phosphatase in the liver, releasing it into circulation. Muscle lacks this enzyme and uses its glucose-6-phosphate in glycolysis.
- Glycogen metabolism is regulated by hormones like
Glycogen metabolism involves the breakdown of glycogen to glucose-6-phosphate through glycogenolysis. Glycogenolysis occurs in three steps: 1) glycogen phosphorylase cleaves glucose from glycogen, 2) transferase and alpha-1,6-glucosidase remodel glycogen to allow further degradation, and 3) phosphoglucomutase converts glucose-1-phosphate to glucose-6-phosphate. In liver, glucose-6-phosphatase converts glucose-6-phosphate to glucose for blood glucose regulation. In muscle, glucose-6-phosphate enters glycolysis for rapid energy production.
Gluconeogenesis is the process by which glucose is synthesized from non-carbohydrate precursors in the liver and kidneys. It occurs mainly during periods of fasting and involves converting substrates like lactate, glycerol, and certain amino acids into glucose. The pathway overcomes three thermodynamic barriers of glycolysis through smaller successive steps. Regulation occurs through allosteric control of enzymes, hormonal control of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels, and transcriptional control of key genes like PEPCK and FOXO1. Together these mechanisms help direct carbon fluxes towards gluconeogenesis or glycolysis based on energy demands.

This document summarizes the glucuronic acid pathway, an alternative oxidative pathway for glucose metabolism. It provides UDP-glucuronic acid, which is used to conjugate bilirubin, steroids, and drugs to make them more water soluble and excretable. The pathway also synthesizes glycosaminoglycans and is involved in vitamin C synthesis in many animals. Key steps include the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to UDP-glucuronate and the subsequent production of L-gulonate, a precursor for ascorbic acid synthesis. Certain genetic disorders can cause excess excretion of metabolites from this pathway such as L-xylulose in essential pentosuria.

Glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in animals, analogous to starch in plants. Glycogen is synthesized from glucose through glycogenesis, which occurs predominantly in the liver and muscles, and stored glycogen is broken down to glucose through glycogenolysis. Glycogenesis is regulated by hormones like insulin, epinephrine, and glucagon that control intracellular cAMP levels and the phosphorylation state of glycogen synthase to convert it between its active and inactive forms.
Glycolysis is a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions that converts glucose into pyruvate, producing ATP. It occurs in two stages - the preparatory stage converts glucose to two molecules of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate using two ATP molecules, and the payoff stage converts these into two pyruvate molecules while generating four ATP molecules. Glycolysis is an important energy source when oxygen is limited, allowing extraction of energy from glucose without oxygen.
Metabolic pathways and energy production involve catabolic reactions that break down molecules and provide energy in the form of ATP. Glycolysis is the process by which glucose is converted to pyruvate through a series of reactions, generating a small amount of ATP. In aerobic conditions, pyruvate undergoes further reactions to form acetyl-CoA and enters the citric acid cycle, while in anaerobic conditions it is reduced to lactate. Coenzymes such as NAD+ and FAD help transfer hydrogen atoms between reactions and link metabolic pathways.
Regulation of glycolysis and gluconeogenesisSKYFALL
Regulation of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis is controlled by enzymes and hormones. Key enzymes in glycolysis like phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase are regulated by allosteric effectors like ATP, AMP, and citrate to control the pathway. The opposing pathway of gluconeogenesis is regulated by enzymes like fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and pyruvate carboxylase which have opposite regulation to their glycolytic counterparts. Hormones like insulin promote glycolysis while glucagon stimulates gluconeogenesis to regulate blood glucose levels.
Glycolysis is a 10 step process that breaks down glucose into pyruvate, generating ATP and NADH. It occurs in the cytoplasm and is the first major step in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. The 10 steps involve phosphorylation of glucose, isomerization, splitting of sugars, formation of ATP and NADH, and final production of pyruvate from phosphoenolpyruvate. Glycolysis functions to break down glucose into energy molecules ATP and NADH that can be used by cells, and produces pyruvate that can enter the citric acid cycle during aerobic respiration.
Complete Glycolysis in short or easy way to understand
Glycolysis is derived from the Greek words glykys = sweet and lysis = splitting.
This pathway was described by EMBDEN,MEYERHOFF and PARNAS. Hence, it is also called EMP PATHWAY.

The document summarizes the three stages of catabolism:
1. Pyruvate is converted to acetyl-CoA in the mitochondria by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. This is the committed step to the citric acid cycle.
2. The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex contains three enzymes and requires five cofactors including thiamine pyrophosphate and Coenzyme A.
3. Acetyl-CoA then enters the citric acid cycle, which occurs in the mitochondrial matrix and fully oxidizes acetyl-CoA, producing carbon dioxide and reducing equivalents like NADH and FADH2.
The citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle or TCA cycle, is the final pathway for the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. It occurs in the mitochondria and plays a central role in energy production, gluconeogenesis, lipogenesis, and amino acid conversion. Defects in the enzymes of the TCA cycle have been linked to severe neurological diseases due to impaired ATP production. The cycle generates ATP, NADH, FADH2, and GTP through a series of 8 reactions that oxidize acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP; also called the phosphogluconate pathway and the hexose monophosphate shunt) is a process that breaks down glucose-6-phosphate into NADPH and pentoses (5-carbon sugars) for use in downstream biological processes. There are two distinct phases in the pathway: the oxidative phase and the non-oxidative phase.
1. Glycolysis converts glucose into pyruvate and generates ATP through 10 steps. Key steps include phosphorylation of glucose by hexokinase, generation of NADH by glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and production of ATP by phosphoglycerate kinase and pyruvate kinase.
2. Pyruvate has three main fates after glycolysis: it can be reduced to lactate, converted to ethanol, or enter the citric acid cycle after carboxylation to oxaloacetate.
3. Gluconeogenesis uses similar pathways as glycolysis but in the reverse direction to generate glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors through the action of four key enzymes that bypass irre
Gluconeogenesis is the production of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources through a complex series of metabolic pathways. It occurs primarily in the liver and kidney cytosol and produces approximately 1 kg of glucose per day, which is essential for brain function and as an energy source for muscles. The major precursors for gluconeogenesis are lactate, pyruvate, amino acids, glycerol, and propionate derived from the breakdown of proteins, fats, and certain metabolites. The pathways involved closely mirror glycolysis except for a few irreversible steps that are bypassed by alternative enzyme-catalyzed reactions in order to synthesize glucose from these precursors.
The document summarizes the pentose phosphate pathway. It consists of an oxidative phase and a non-oxidative phase. The oxidative phase generates NADPH and ribulose 5-phosphate through oxidation reactions. The non-oxidative phase converts ribulose 5-phosphate into other 5-carbon sugars, regenerating glucose 6-phosphate while producing ribose 5-phosphate. The pathway provides reducing power in the form of NADPH for biosynthesis and maintains levels of the antioxidant glutathione.
This document summarizes glycogen metabolism. Glycogen is the storage form of glucose found primarily in the liver and muscles. Glycogenesis is the synthesis of glycogen from glucose using enzymes like glycogen synthase. Glycogenolysis is the breakdown of glycogen into glucose, carried out by phosphorylase and debranching enzymes. The glucose is then converted to glucose-6-phosphate and can re-enter circulation from the liver or be used locally by tissues in glycolysis. Glycogen thus serves to maintain blood glucose levels and acts as a fuel reserve for muscles.

The uronic acid pathway, also known as the glucoronic acid pathway, is an alternative oxidative pathway for glucose that results in the synthesis of glucoronic acid, UDP-glucose, pentoses, and ascorbic acid in lower animals. The pathway includes reactions like those catalyzed by phosphoglucomutase and UDP-glucose dehydrogenase. Administration of drugs such as barbitol and chlorobutanol increases the uronic acid pathway and synthesis of glucoronate from glucose, which is required for detoxification of these drugs.

Carbohydrate metabolism involves the different biochemical processes responsible for the formation, breakdown, and interconversion of carbohydrates in living organisms.
1. Glycogenesis is the process of glycogen synthesis, the storage form of carbohydrates in animals and plants.
2. Glycogen is synthesized from glucose-1-phosphate through the addition of glucose units via alpha-1,4 glycosidic bonds and branching via alpha-1,6 bonds, forming a branched polymer structure.
3. Glycogenesis occurs primarily in the liver and muscles, with liver glycogen functioning to regulate blood glucose levels between meals through glycogenolysis and export of glucose, while muscle glycogen provides glucose for local glycolysis.
Cellular respiration involves the breakdown of glucose and other food molecules within cells to extract energy to fuel life processes through oxidation reactions. Glucose undergoes glycolysis to form pyruvate, which is further oxidized in the mitochondria through the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain to generate large amounts of ATP, the energy currency of cells. Aerobic respiration completely oxidizes glucose to carbon dioxide and water, trapping energy from electron carriers in ATP. Fermentation pathways produce little ATP and do not fully oxidize glucose.

Respiration Plant Physiology Explained in Brief Class 12ryrohit8281
Respiration is a fundamental cellular process that releases energy from nutrients like glucose. It occurs through aerobic and anaerobic pathways. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen and is the most efficient, occurring in mitochondria through glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain. Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen through lactic acid fermentation or alcoholic fermentation, generating some ATP. Respiration is essential for energy production, cellular metabolism, heat generation, and waste removal in organisms.
1. Metabolism involves the breakdown and synthesis of molecules, including catabolism which breaks down molecules to release energy and anabolism which uses energy to synthesize molecules.
2. Glycolysis is a series of 10 steps where glucose is broken down into two pyruvate molecules, producing energy in the form of 2 ATP and 2 NADH.
3. Through a series of phosphorylation, isomerization, and oxidation reactions, one glucose molecule yields two pyruvate molecules, 2 ATP, and 2 NADH during glycolysis, for a total of 7 ATP produced.
Metabolism refers to the sum of all chemical reactions in the body's cells. It allows the generation of energy from nutrients and the production of biological compounds. Metabolic pathways include glycolysis, the TCA cycle, and the electron transport chain. Metabolism takes place within cells, with the mitochondria being the main site of aerobic metabolism. The liver plays a key role in metabolizing nutrients from food. Metabolic reactions are regulated by enzymes and hormones. ATP is the main energy currency of cells and is produced through both anaerobic and aerobic metabolism. Carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and alcohol can all be metabolized to produce energy.
Carbohydrate metabolism denotes the various biochemical processes responsible for the formation, breakdown and interconversion of carbohydrates in living organisms. The most important carbohydrate is glucose, a simple sugar (monosaccharide) that is metabolized by nearly all known organisms.
Glycolysis is a central pathway for glucose catabolism that converts glucose into pyruvate through a series of 10 enzyme-catalyzed reactions. It occurs in most organisms and tissues as a source of energy. The first phase activates glucose through phosphorylation, while the second phase generates ATP and NADH through substrate-level phosphorylation and hydride transfer. Pyruvate produced can then undergo aerobic or anaerobic fates including fermentation to regenerate NAD+ under anaerobic conditions.

This document summarizes cellular respiration, which breaks down glucose and other food sources to release energy. There are two main types of respiration: anaerobic, which does not require oxygen, and aerobic, which does. Anaerobic respiration includes glycolysis and fermentation in the cytoplasm and produces 2 ATP. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen and occurs in mitochondria through multiple processes, producing much more ATP. The energy released is captured in ATP, which cells use like a currency to power various processes.

Carbohydrates are the most abundant organic molecules on Earth. They have the general formula Cx(H2O)y and include sugars such as glucose. Carbohydrate metabolism involves both catabolic pathways like glycolysis that break down glucose, as well as anabolic pathways that build molecules. Glycolysis converts glucose to pyruvate in the cytoplasm, releasing energy in the form of ATP. Anaerobic glycolysis occurs without oxygen and produces lactate, while aerobic glycolysis is coupled to the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. The pentose phosphate pathway generates pentoses like ribose-5-phosphate that are essential for nucleic acid synthesis. G6PD deficiency results in inadequate G6PD enzyme levels
The temporomandibular joint is the joint that connects jaw to skull. When this joint is injured or damaged, it can lead to a localized pain disorder called temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome or temporomandibular disorder (TMD), also said as TMJ Arthritis as it related to inflammation of joint. The prognosis of this case is good. Some patient able to get this disorder resolve by some treatment and home remedies. Only a few of them need to get the surgery.

It then classifies these drugs based on their mechanism of action (bronchodilation or anti-inflammatory) and route of administration (oral, inhaled, etc.). The document provides examples of different drug classes, their advantages and disadvantages, and precautions for specific drugs. It concludes with monitoring advice for certain anti-asthmatic medications.
Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptxSSR02
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
2. INTRODUCTION
• Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose by
enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid.
• The first step in the breakdown of glucose to
extract energy for cellular metabolism.
• Series of reactions that reconstitute the first
phase of most carbohydrate catabolism,
where the catabolism means the breaking
down of larger molecules into smaller ones.
3. DEFINITION
It is a part of cellular respiration of
carbohydrate degradation as simple sugar,
glucose, to yield ATP (energy-containing
molecules called ATP) as an energy source
by way of phosphate derivatives with the
production of pyruvic or lactic acid and
energy stored in high-energy phosphate
bonds of ATP.
4. PURPOSE
• As first step of cellular respiration
• The production of ATP allows the cell to
generate at least a small amount of energy
even without oxygen
• Glycolysis itself releases two molecules of
ATP per molecule of glucose.
5. FUNCTION
To break down glucose:
To form NADH and ATP as source of
energy to cells.
As a part of aerobic respiration pyruvate is
made available for the citric acid cycle.
The process results in intermediate
compounds, which may be used at various
steps for other cellular purposes.
6. IMPORTANCE
• Glucose is the source of almost all energy
used as fuel for cells and tissues in the body
• Glycolysis is the first step in the breakdown
of glucose to extract energy for cellular
metabolism.
• Glycolysis is also important because the
metabolism of glucose produces useful
intermediates for other metabolic pathways,
such as the synthesis of amino acids or fatty
acids.
7. PROCESS
• Glycolysis is the metabolic process that serves
as the foundation for both aerobic and
anaerobic cellular respiration.
• In glycolysis, glucose is converted into
pyruvate.
• Glucose is a six-membered ring molecule
found in the blood and is usually a result of
the breakdown of carbohydrates into sugars.
8. • It enters cells through specific transporter
proteins that move it from outside the cell into
the cell’s cytosol.
• All of the glycolytic enzymes are found in the
cytosol.
• There are 10 steps in the series of chemical
reactions known as glycolysis. In each step, the
carbon molecules in the glucose rearrange into a
lower-energy structure.
• The last step is the energy generating step, where
two molecules of ADP convert into higher-energy
ATP molecules.
