Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 The glucose cycle also known as the hepatic futile cycle occurs primarily in the liver and is the dynamic equilibrium between glucose and glucose 6 phosphate . This is important for maintaining a constant concentration of glucose in the blood stream . Function The glucose cycle is required for one of the liver functions the homeostasis of glucose in the blood stream. When blood glucose levels are in excess, glucose can be stored in the liver as glycogen . When glucose levels in the blood stream are low the glycogen can be catabolism catabolised and glucose may re enter the blood stream. The catabolic process occurs at the nonreducing end of glycogen. A phosphate group breaks the bond between C 1 of a glucose ring and the O that connects it to the next phosphorolysis . One glucose unit is thus split off. Glycogen with n glucose units is converted into G 1 P a PO sub 4 sub group now attaches to C1 where O used to and glycogen with n 1 glucose units by enzyme glycogen phosphorylase. G 1 P is then converted into G 6 P by enzyme phosphoglucomutase. A water molecule hydrolyses G 6 P to glucose, the enzyme is glucose 6 phosphatase. Cell specificity When glucose enters a cell it is rapidly changed to glucose 6 phosphate, by hexokinase or glucokinase . The glucose cycle can occur in liver cells due to a liver specific enzyme glucose 6 phosphatase , which catalyse the dephosphorylation of glucose 6 phosphate back to glucose.

Orphan date September 2011 The Selenium Cycle The Selenium Cycle is a biological cycle of selenium similar to the cycles of carbon, nitrogen, and sulpur. Within the cycle, there are organisms which redox reduce the most oxidized form of the element and different organisms complete the cycle by oxidizing the reduced element to the initial state. In the selenium cycle it has been found that bacteria, fungi, and plants, especially species of Astragalus , metabolize the most oxidized forms of selenium, selenate or selenite, to selenide. It is also thought that microorganisms may be able to oxidize selenium of valence zero to selenium of valence 6. Evidence for a selenium cycle is found through the study of selenium accumulator plants. These plants are found in semi arid, seleniferous soils. The plants biosynthesize forms of organic selenium compounds and release the compounds into the soil when they decay. If the compounds were not oxidized, then an increase in organic selenium would be seen, but selenium in these areas is mainly inorganic. ref name Shrift cite journal doi 10.1038 2011304a0 author Shrift, A. year 1964 title A Selenium Cycle in Nature? journal Nature volume 201 pages 1304 1305 pmid 14151413 issue 4926 ref Selenium Cycle in Aquatic Ecosystems There are three fates of dissolved selenium in an aquatic ecosystem 1. it can be absorbed or ingested by organisms 2. it can bind with particulate matter or sediments or 3. it can remain in free solution.

for nuclear fusion process Proton proton chain reaction Hydrogen is one of the constituents of water . It recycles as in other biogeochemical cycle s. It is actively involved with the other cycles such as the carbon cycle , nitrogen cycle , sulfur cycle , and oxygen cycle . Anaerobic fermentation of organic substances to carbon dioxide and methane is a collaborative effort involving many different biochemical reactions, processes and species of microorganisms . One of these many processes that occur is termed interspecies hydrogen transfer . This process has been described as integral to the symbiosis between certain methane producing bacteria methanogens and nonmethanogenic anaerobes. In this symbiosis, the nonmethanogenic anaerobes degrade the organic substance and produce among other things molecular hydrogen H sub 2 sub . This hydrogen is then taken up by methanogens and converted to methane via methanogenesis . One important characteristic of interspecies hydrogen transfer is that the H sub 2 sub concentration in the microbial environment is very low. Maintaining a low hydrogen concentration is important because the anaerobic fermentative process become increasingly thermodynamically unfavorable as the partial pressure of hydrogen increases. A key difference compared to other biogeochemical cycles is that because of its low molecular weight hydrogen can leave Earth s atmosphere. It has been suggested that this occurred on a grand scale in the past and that this is why today the Earth is mostly irreversibly oxidised . ref http www.sciencemag.org cgi content abstract 293 5531 839 Biogenic Methane, Hydrogen Escape, and the Irreversible Oxidation of Early Earth David C.

thermodynamics cTopic Processes and Cycles The Kalina cycle is a thermodynamic process for converting thermal energy into usable mechanical power. It uses a solution of 2 fluids with different boiling points for its working fluid. Since the solution boils over a range of temperatures as in distillation , more of the heat can be extracted from the source than with a pure working fluid. The same applies on the exhaust condensing end. This provides efficiency comparable to a Combined cycle , with less complexity. ref http vganapathy.tripod.com kalina.html Overview of the Kalina cycle ref By appropriate choice of the ratio between the components of the solution, the boiling point of the working solution can be adjusted to suit the heat input temperature. Water and ammonia is the most widely used combination, but other combinations are feasible.
