Ive been feeling down lately Eric. Work sget me feeling stress
You know Dr.P, When I feel down I just think about how I play apart in keeping the earth alive.
Fascinating, I heard about this when I was in school myself. It's the photosynthesis cycle right? When we humans breathe in Oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide through cellular Respiration. Plants take that Carbon Dioxide from us and use it alongside with light energy from the sun and water from the soil to produce glucose and Oxygen. I guess I never that about it like that before.
Yes, the mitochondria plays a big role in Cellular Respiration. When our body combines Glucose and Oxygen to break down food as an energy source. The Mitochondria Produces energy by harvesting the electrons from organic molecules such as glucose.Releasing ATP energy for out body. We lose water all the time from our bodies such as through the kidney if in excess or everytime we breathe out we lose water.
You are correct Eric, With that ATP statement did you know that we go through Fermentation?
Since we go through Lactic Acid fermentation. It only happens when our body needs energy in a hurry. Say you are running from the Authorities at full speed, your cells naturally will only have enough ATP energy in them to last a few seconds. Which is why you get so tired so quickly after racing a friend, Once the ATP is used the muscles in your body will start producing ATP through lactic acid fermentation.
