I onsucrose Components from Storage or Damag e of Beets. Some nonsucrose components are associated with the conditions under which the beets have been stored prior to processing, as respiration products or products of microbial attack In either case they direcdy and indirectly reduce sucrose yield and may cause other processing problems. Glucose and fmctose have already been discussed and can derive from either source. 

The metabolic energy generated by the core (M) is lost by (1) doing work, (2) respiration, (3) passive heat conduction to the skin, and (4) active blood flow to the skin. Any heat not transferred from the core is stored, with a resulting increase in core temperature. Work is energy that leaves the body as in... 

All fruits respire oxygen and, in doing so, start to decay. If the oxygen concentration can be reduced, the rate of respiration will be slowed and the storage life maybe extended. The maintenance of a low partial pressure of oxygen requires a gas-tight structure to prevent diffusion. Such controlled atmosphere stores are carefully constructed and sealed to achieve this, and are generally termed gas stores. 

The fruits are loaded and the store sealed. Within a few days they consume a proportion of the available oxygen and respire carbon dioxide. Considerable research over the past 60 years, mainlyin the UK [47], has determined the correct balance of gases to prolong the storage life of the different varieties of apples and pears, both home grown and imported. 

Certain stored foodstuffs are living organisms and give off heat as their sugar or starch reserves are slowly consumed. This is known as the heat of respiration, since the products consume oxygen for the... 

The rate of respiration of mitochondria can be controlled by the availability of ADP. This is because oxidation and phosphorylation are tightly coupled ie, oxidation cannot proceed via the respiratory chain without concomitant phosphorylation of ADP. Table 12-1 shows the five conditions controlling the rate of respiration in mitochondria. Most cells in the resting state are in state 4, and respiration is controlled by the availability of ADP. When work is performed, ATP is converted to ADP, allowing more respiration to occur, which in turn replenishes the store of ATP. Under certain conditions, the concentration of inorganic phosphate can also affect the rate of functioning of the respiratory chain. As respiration increases (as in exercise). 

Cutting grass, or more precisely separating leaf tips from lower parts of the grass plant, is not immediately lethal, and even chopping up these tips kills only a small percentage of the cells. The leaves continue to respire they oxidize stored carbohydrates and other foods into carbon dioxide and water, or into intermediate compounds. 

The major types of adipose tissue are (1) white adipose tissue, which manufactures, stores, and releases lipid and (2) brown adipose tissue, which dissipates energy via uncoupled mitochondrial respiration. Obesity research includes evaluation of the activity of adrenergic receptors and their effect on adipose tissue with respect to energy storage and expenditure or thermogenesis.

Ann now lives eighteen miles out of town in the desert. Because her roommate is too ill with MCS to risk exposure to other people, Ann and I rendezvoused in the parking lot of the Wild Oats store, a popular meeting place for people with MCS in Santa Fe. From there I followed her to the home of one of her friends, where Ann put on her respirator in the parking lot to get her safely past the laundry area and into her friend s apartment. Sitting in the sun on the patio, she told to me the following story. 

Then there was a kid who crouched down to watch me walking through a store with my respirator on, and called to his friend to take a look. They turned to each other and said in unison, Cool ...
