-- (1906 – 1920) Thunberg tried to understand cellular respiration by testing how organic substances
were oxidized animals tissue. (eHow. 2009)
- (1920) F. Batelli and L.S. Stern were interested in oxidative cell
metabolism. They used enzymatic studies on catalase and fumarase.
(eHow. 2009)
- Previous scientists Carl Cori and Gerry Cori investigated the conversion of nutrients into energy through anaerobic respiration.
-The understanding of glycolysis was important due to the production of two pyruvate molecules that provided energy through ATP for further stages in cellular respiration.
- Enzyme activity was used as a basic knowledge for their experiments It was understood that muscular activity requires ATP as energy.
- F. Batelli and L.S. Based their studies off of Thunberg’s knowledge.
(Nelson, David L., & Cox, Michael M. 2005)
-Thunberg performed the first investigation by examining the oxidization of organic substances in isolated animal issues. He tested over 60 organic substances, mostly in muscle tissue.
-He found that the combustion of nutrients is the repeated process of hydrogen ions separating with the help of enzymes.
- F. Batelli and L.S. Stern used beef liver as their experimental investigation. They found that the enzyme Fumarase was essential for oxidation and reduction.
- Studied and researched Catalase and Fumarase. (Akart, Konrad. 1996)
- Thunberg characterized photosynthesis as an oxidation –reduction reaction in which CO2 is reduced and water is oxidized.
- F. Batelli and L.S. Stern concluded that minced animal tissues contained substances
that transferred hydrogen atoms from specific intracellular
organic acids.
(eHow. 2009)
- He also discovered oxidative degradation of foodstuff of
animals.
- They were able to understand how the products of glycolysis
were continued on to then become reactants of the Krebs
Cycle.
