Enzymes are proteins that increase the rate of chemical activity. Their three dimensional structure determines their function, and is made of chains of amino acids that have folded into a specific shape with a unique property. Enzymes lower the activation energy needed for a chemical reaction, therefore speeding up the process. Multiple enzymes work together in metabolic pathways, taking a product (end result) of one metabolic reaction as a substrate (substance or molecule at start of process) for another reaction. Metabolic pathways create the avenue for fructolysis, the breakdown (catabolism) of fructose, occurring in the liver, and in muscle and fat tissue. Most of fructose obtained by diet is metabolized in the liver, where the enzyme fructokinase is abundant. This enzyme phosphorylates the substrate (fructose) into fructose-1-phosphate, which is then split into glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone phosphate, both three carbon molecules that can enter the glycolytic pathway for further oxidation and energy production. Enzymes are specific to a substrate, meaning they have an active spot on the enzyme that will only work with a specific shape of a particular substance (substrate).…
The movie Roger and me by Michael Moore is a documentary about Roger metalworkers takeover of General Motors in the late 1980s. Moore documents the transition from successfulness to poverty in the city of Flint, Michigan. There are deuce-ace different angles from which to look at the situation in Flint. These terzetto different angles are a departure theorists view, a functional analysis view, and a symbolic interactionists view. The archetypal view, conflict theory, is looking at who has the power, how theyre victimization this power, and who theyre exploiting with it. A conflict theorist would view the situation as Roger metalworker using his power to ruin Flint, Michigan. smith became the CEO of General Motors and started fashioning massive changes immediately. He started by laying off thousands of political machine workers at the Flint, Michigan auto plants so that GM could murder new plants in Mexico, even up though GM was making record profits. The auto workers were devastated and although they strived to better themselves and get new jobs, thither were none available. Secondly, the functionalists view can be applied to this situation. A functional analysts view is a pretty across-the-board one that consists of looking at the big picture and how everything whole kit and caboodle or doesnt work together.…

George is faced with a tough decision, and of course he would only do what was best for Lennie. Wouldn’t a friend always do what was best for a friend? George killed Lennie out of mercy, not murder.…

My essay is about the power of siblings. Both in The outsiders and my essay Siblings bond over death or the thought of death. In The Outsiders Ponyboy and his brothers, including the greasers bonded over the death of his parents and Jonny, their good friend. It’s sad but true, people tend to get closer when they realize how short life is. My brother and I bonded over the fact that we would have to help my mom together. Being able to have someone there for you can give you a sense of safety because believe or not the closest person in your life should be your sibling. I feel bad for people who don’t have older siblings or lost them because they will never know what it’s like to have someone who already went through what you’re going through.…

On behalf of the family, I want to thank everyone for coming today to remember by Grandmother, Ruth Cline. It really means a lot to all of us that you are here to celebrate her life. When I was asked to give the eulogy for my grandma 's funeral, I said oh yes, sure. I would be happy to. But after I thought about it for a bit I panicked! I thought what should I say, where do I begin;What should people know; whats most important, I went to bed stressing about writing something special. When I finally sat down the next day to write about grandma, I thought and thought. I wrote and scratched and threw out paper after paper. I wanted to include so many things that my mind was scattered in every direction. I wanted so much to make sure it sounded right; that is addressed every detail of her life, that I included special moments or times. The more I wrote, the less I had written out in the right way. I finally decided to just speak with my heart and remember her “my way”.…
