Biological Pathways

                The study of Human biology is really important in people lives. It can provide people with information they didn’t know and can help people change their way of eating or drinking. It helps them protect their bodies and the study of life affects our own lives crucially. Biology is all about studying life and living organisms. Therefore, people learn about themselves and learn techniques to keep them healthy and out of risk of any harm or sickness. We're living organisms and we eat living organisms, so you could probably guess that biology has something to tell us about what's going on all around the environment and inside our body.

                The article, “Modeling biochemical pathways in the gene ontology,” by Hill, D’eustachio, Berardini, Mungall, Renedo, and Blake is mainly about the function of pathways in the human body.  According to the article, “Biological pathways resources collect data, deep contextual information about pathways,” (Hill, D’eustachio, Berardini, Mungall, Renedo, and Blake). This information can be about anything in the human body. For example, molecule details, DNA replications, protein synthesis and intermediary metabolism. Biological pathway is a series of actions among molecules in a cell that lead to a certain product or a change in a cell. The biological pathway is so strong that can even turn genes on and off, o spur a cell to move. Pathways can also trigger the assembly of new molecules, such as fat protein or protein.

               

             An action that caught my attention was when they use the glycolysis as a test case for applying pathway presentation. Base on the article, “glycolysis is the evolutionarily ancient group process that converts glucose and other carbohydrates to pyruvate while reducing NAD(P)+ to NAD(P)H and converting ADP To ATP,” ( Hill, D’eustachio, Berardini, Mungall, Renedo, and Blake). The molecules metabolic pathway of glycolysis convert glucose to pyruvate by via of a series of intermediate metabolites. It usually goes from glycose, and the older term for glucose plus –lysis degradation. This is the metabolic pathway that converting glucose C6 H12 O6, into pyruvate.

                Human biology is the reason why people today can maintain a healthy body and the reason why numerous of viruses get rejected from the human body. This articles helped me understand the idea and function of pathways in the human body. Pathways are really important for us because they prepares us with different transformation within the body that can help us stay healthy and strong. Human Biology is the key to a healthy life.
