Chemotatic Peptide Analysis
. These novel toxin peptides are composed of two wasp kinins, two chemotactic components, three mastoparans, and two peptides with an unknown function. The seven novel toxin of peptides with recognized functions turns out to act unitedly with the other peptides that are known previously naming the three well-known kinds of peptides of novel toxin in the venom of the social wasp which are the wasp kinins, chemotactic peptides and mastoparans. But apparently, those three functional toxins may cause some disadvantages in some organisms or in our body. It may cause pain, chemotaxis, edema formation, and destruction of red blood

    A: Fats are made up fatty acids and a glycerol. They are stored in cells known as adipocytes throughout the body. When the body needs energy the stored fats are broken down through the process of metabolism and beta oxidation (Livestrong.com, n.d.). For example, triacylglyceride or triglyceride are broken down into their separate parts, fatty acid chains and a glycerol. The body will always metabolize the glycerol first because it is easier to break down for energy but it does not produce the same long lasting energy effects that the fatty acid chains create. The fatty acid chains are broken down into 2 carbon pieces each, which then form acetyl CoA. Acetyl CoA can then enter…
