CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A lot of people have been getting into the weight-loss bandwagon. Nowadays there are numerous supplements and drinks that promise significant weight loss after a certain amount of time following regular consumption. One famous chemical currently advertised is L-carnitine. The substance is water soluble which oxidizes and transports long chain fatty acids into the mitochondrion (Dokmeci et al.‚ 2005; Gulcin‚ 2006)‚ transeterifies and acetyl-CoA‚ oxidizes branched chain

In the Kingdom Exploration lab‚ five different organisms were observed under a microscope‚ (Yeast‚ Paramecium‚ Elodea‚ Daphnia‚ Euglena). Each of these organisms is apart of one of the six kingdoms‚ (Eubacteria‚ Archaebacteria‚ Fungi‚ Protista‚ Plantae‚ and Animalia) which are apart of three domains‚ (Archaea‚ Bacteria‚ and Eukarya). In this lab‚ however‚ none of the organisms observed were archaea or bacteria. Also‚ all the organisms were eukaryotes‚ not prokaryotes‚ which are organisms without

The Organisation Level of an Organ System. There are 11 organ systems in the body such as the reproductive system‚ digestive system and the cardiac system. The first level organisation is the organelles which collect together to produce a cell. The organelles all have a function in the cell to keep it alive. For example the mitochondria is an organelle in a cell which has the role of respiration in the cell. The mitochondria produces ATP which involves contracting muscles‚ taking part in cell division

Muscle contractions happen when muscle fibers are stimulated‚ which can cause one of many types of contractions. Isometric contractions‚ which means that tension happens in the muscle but there is no change in muscle length‚ therefore there is no movement of the muscle itself. An example of Isometric contractions would be strength training‚ such as holding a weight still‚ which happens in the biceps brachii. The biceps brachii the gets more tension‚ but the muscle length stays the same. As for isotonic

Name Biology-Honors Teacher December 6‚ 2012 Photosynthesis Lab 1. Introduction: Light dependent reactions are the first phase of photosynthesis. It requires light to happen and happens in the thylakoid membrane in a chloroplast. The light energy is absorbed from the sun and converted into chemical energy. Which is then stored temporarily in ATP and NADPH. Hypothesis: I predict that the wavelength intensity will affect the rate of photosynthesis more than light intensity will. 2.

Zellweger syndrome is one of a group of four related diseases called peroxisome biogenesis disorders‚ a group of deadly genetic diseases that claim the lives of children usually before they reach their first birthday. This syndrome is the most common type of peroxisome biogenesis disorder. The disease is caused by defects in any one of 13 genes‚ called PEX genes‚ required for the normal formation and function of peroxisomes. Peroxisomes are cell structures that break down toxic substances and synthesize

1.Explain the process of Cellular Respiration in order. Where does each step occur in a cell‚ which steps require oxygen‚ and how many ATP are produced in each step? Cellular respiration is the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen to yield ATP. Glycolysis is the first stage in the breakdown of glucose and It occurs in the cell’s cytoplasm. It does not require oxygen (anaerobic). This step also occurs in two steps‚ the energy investment step‚ and the energy yielding step. This process yields
