Les sucres à cinq atomes de carbone (pentoses) peuvent parfois être fermentés et donnent alors une molécule d'éthanol et une molécule d'acide lactique. Outre ces produits, qui représentent plus de 80 p. 100 des sucres utilisés, on obtient également de l'acide acétique et du glycérol. 2, record 1, French, - fermentation%20h%C3%A9t%C3%A9rolactique

The most efficient way for cells to harvest energy stored in food is through cellular respiration, a catabolic pathway for the production of adenosine triphosphate(ATP). ATP, a high energy molecule, is expended by working cells. Cellular respiration occurs in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. There are three main stages of cellular respiration :glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and electron transport. 4, record 3, English, - cellular%20respiration

Effet Pasteur. L'oxygène, lorsqu'il est apporté par la circulation dans un tissu en hypoxie, provoque une inhibition de la glycolyse car la synthèse de l'ATP [adénosine triphosphate] consomme beaucoup moins de glucose en aérobiose qu'en anaérobiose. 2, record 4, French, - effet%20Pasteur

les découpleurs agissent en dissociant l'oxydation de la phosphorylation dans la chaîne respiratoire. La respiration n'est plus alors contrôlée, car la concentration de l'ADP ou du Pi ne limite plus le taux de la respiration. Le découpleur le plus fréquemment utilisé est le 2,4-dinitrophénol (DNP). D'autres composés agissent de la même manière: le dinitrocrésol, le pentadichlorophénol, la bishydroxy coumarine (dicumarol) et le CCCP (m-chlorocarbony / cyanure phenylhydrazone). 3, record 6, French, - agent%20d%C3%A9couplant

Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The term intermediary metabolism is used to refer to those biochemical reactions occurring in cells by which the many biochemical intermediates are formed and/or transformed into other products necessary for life. Glycolysis, for example, produces glucose-6-phosphate, which can be transformed into ribose, glucuronate, glycerol, pyruvate, oxo-glutarate, glutamate, ascorbic acid, etc. To produce the large number of intermediates requires intertwined metabolic pathways, all carefully regulated by allosteric enzymes and hormones. 1, record 7, English, - intermediary%20metabolism

Les liaisons faibles, pour avoir une quelconque efficacité, ne peuvent agir qu'à courtes distances, et en grand nombre. Telles sont bien leurs caractéristiques, qui s'épanouissent au mieux dans les relations de complémentarité des formes : c'est le cas tout spécialement des relations entre l'enzyme et son substrat, l'antigène et son anticorps ou l'effecteur allostérique avec la protéine enzymatique en structure quaternaire. L'ensemble du métabolisme intermédiaire, dans son mécanisme intrinsèque comme dans sa régulation, dépend totalement de telles relations structurales. 2, record 7, French, - m%C3%A9tabolisme%20interm%C3%A9diaire

Actuellement, ce terme désigne deux types de processus biochimiques : l'un, variable, avec les divers substrats; l'autre, appelé "système métabolique central", identique pour toutes les cellules animales et végétales : alimenté en petites molécules par le premier, il fournit à l'organisme l'énergie qui lui est nécessaire, mais aussi des matériaux pour des biosynthèses. Le système métabolique central, situé dans les mitochondries des cellules animales et végétales, comprend deux ensembles multienzymatiques associés aux structures mitochondriales : le cycle citrique et les chaînes d'oxydoréduction. 1, record 7, French, - m%C3%A9tabolisme%20interm%C3%A9diaire
