Basic structure and function Explain the parts and how they work for fungi and bacteria Most fungal species are multicellular. Most fungi do not have flagella in any phase of their life cycle. They move toward food by growing toward it. The main body of most fungi is made up of fine‚ branching‚ and usually colourless threads called hyphae. Each fungus will have vast numbers

GROWTH OF MICRO-CREDIT IN INDIA: AN EVALUATION (90th Conference volume of Indian Economic Association 2007 Dr. Md. Tarique * & Ranjan Kumar Thakur † The success of Grameen Bank in Bangladesh has established the fact and several literatures in this regard also acknowledge the fact that poor are bankable in terms of capacity to save and repay the loans provided the same are collected at the doorstep in small amount at frequent intervals. This is the basic principle of micro-finance‚ which

biodiesels is from sugar‚ vegetable oils and lignocellulosic biomass‚ microalgae are now known as the ‘third generation of biodiesel’. As many studies have told us that microalga is a promising organism for mass production of biomass and biofuel which are renewable and environmental friendly. Microalgae have a higher growth rate and productivity as compared to plants. Most microalga species are easily adaptable to climate changes and are not limited by seasonal culture‚ which also says that products of microalgae

Micro January 14‚ 2015 1. The purpose of antitrust policy is to promote __competition among firms_____‚ which leads to lower __price for customers______. Explain why this is so? The purpose of antitrust policy is to promote competition‚ which leads to lower prices. If a company had the power of price control that comes with being a monopoly‚ they would profit by picking the quantity/price that equals the highest revenue for their company. This would be likely a lower quantity and higher price

Jolly Nguyen 11C Conditions needed for effective enzyme action Aim: To investigate the activity of enzymes and how might the activity be effected in different conditions. Hypothesis: Temperature rises and change of substrate concentration may cause denaturation of the protein of enzymes. So as the temperature rises the amount of active enzyme progressively decreases‚ and the rate is slowed. Exposure to heat causes atoms to vibrate violently and this disrupts bonds within globular proteins

Methylene blue can act as an artificial hydrogen acceptor; when this dye is reduced by accepting hydrogen atoms it goes colourless. As such‚ it can be used to guage the rate of respiration by measuring the time taken for it to turn colourless. Methylene blue‚ acting as a hydrogen acceptor‚ is decolourized during the respiration of yeast. By measuring the time taken for a fixed amount of the dye to be decolourized‚ the relative rate of respiration (a catabolic process) can be deduced. Results:

solid media for microbial growth II. Background: There are four different types of media used to grow microbes. They consist of Enriched media‚ Nutrient media‚ Selective media‚ and differential media. Enriched media is a growth media supplemented with complex biological molecules. This type of media is used for blood‚ coagulated blood‚ amino acids‚ etc. Nutrient media provides nutrients necessary for the growth of microorganisms. Selective media is used for specific organisms. For i.e. Mackonkey agar
