The glycolytic pathway, in almost every living organism, involves complex oxidation-reduction reactions that occur as a result of the presence of ten different enzymes. Due to the overwhelming prevalence of this variation of the glycolytic pathway, it was once thought that these ten enzymes were ubiquitous in all organisms. However, with the analysis of the glycolytic pathways in certain thermophilic archaea, it has been found that only two of the common ten enzymes, known as enolase and pyruvate kinase, are present for glycolysis in these organisms. Currently, these are the only two enzymes b...

In the body there is an enzyme that breaks down the bond that creates this reaction its called ATPase. ... The enzyme called creatine Kinase (CK) creates the release of energy from the PCr molecule. ... The Glycolytic System It is also called the Anaerobic Glycolysis (meaning the breakdown of glucose) or the Lactic Acid System. ... Which in turn impairs glycotic enzyme functioning, affecting the effiencieny of forming ATP and the raised acid levels decrease the calcium- binding capacity and hinders muscle contractions. ...

Locomotion is the way that animals explore their environment in an active method. All animals use the contraction of muscles in order to move. Animals use the chemical energy of ATP to supply force in order to oppose the force of gravity. When an ATP molecule is split into ADP and inorganic phos...
