    ATP is generated from aerobic respiration from the use of biosynthetic pathways. Glycolysis is where respiration starts in the cells and produces ATP, NADH, and 2 pyruvate molecules from the oxidation of six carbon carbohydrate and glucose. Even if oxygen is there or not, enzymes are mediated in the cytoplasm. The electron transport chain, chemiosmosis, and aerobic respiration use NADH molecule (which it main purpose is to transport electrons form one molecule to another) for later purposes. The mitochondrial matrix receives pyruvate from the cytoplasm after it crosses over the mitochondrial membrane. When the pyruvate enters the Krebs cycle it goes through many stages of biochemical enzyme-catalyzed reactions. In more detail about the cycle its main purpose is to produce little amounts of ATP by removing carbon dioxide and hydrogen from pyruvate molecules. Within the inner membrane of the mitochondrion the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis synthesis ATP with hydrogen ions which are NADH and FADH2. The Krebs cycle and glycolysis produce less ATP because chemiosmosis synthesizes a great amount of ATP.…

    Nucleon Case

    • 1217 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Nucleon, Inc. is one of over 200 firms founded since the 1970s which are focused on developing biotechnological pharmaceuticals products. Biotechnology came about with the development in advances of molecular biology and immunology, hence the new field of R&D is called “biotechnology”. Nucleons first product is CRP-1 (cell regulation ein-1) and after several years of experimentation the time was ready for human clinical trials, which was not going to be an easy hurdle to get over. Due to the fact that Nucleon did not have any manufacturing facilities which met the FDA requirements they had to figure out how to jump over the hurdles presented. One potion was to contract clinical manufacturing to an outside firm. Another option was to build a new pilot plant for clinical trials. Nucleons third option is to license the manufacturing to another biotechnology company. Risk was found in their options but they also came with rewards. If Nucleon could establish a strong paten on a important molecule this could ensure capital for growth and development which could keep Nucleon alive for years.…
