Key words: Hazardous waste‚ Biomedical Waste Management‚ Health care unit. INTRODUCTION Biomedical waste management has recently emerged as an issue of major concern not only to hospitals‚ nursing home authorities but also to the environment. the bio-medical wastes generated from health care units depend upon a number of factors such as waste management methods‚ type of health care units‚ occupancy of healthcare units‚ specialization of healthcare units‚ ratio of reusable items in use‚ availability

DIGESTIVE ENZYMES AND THEIR FUNCTIONS Mouth -the oral cavity or the mouth contains salivary glands that secrete a wide range of enzymes to aid the first step of metabolism of food. The salivary gland secretes the enzyme lysozyme which has an antibacterial action. The enzymes secreted by the mouth mainly provide protection against bacteria. Betaine helps to maintain a fluid balance inside the mouth. The lists of digestive enzymes secreted by the oral cavity are mentioned in the table. Enzymes | Function

Small samples of acetaminophen‚ acetylsalicylic acid‚ cellulose‚ starch‚ and caffeine were obtained. These samples were then placed into seperate sets of test tubes that contained water‚ acetone‚ or dichloroethane. Solubilities were then tested for each sample in each solution which can be seen in Table 5. Next‚ four random pills were obtained and weights were taken of each. Each of the pills were grinded up using a separate mortar and pestle. The grinded up pills were then weighed. The grinded

Physiology Enzyme Lab Report Introduction The chemical reaction that is being studied is the hydrolysis of starch. The enzyme that is being studied is amylase. This experiment is looking at the effect of temperature on the rate of the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch. My hypothesis is that the higher the temperature the faster the hydrolysis of the starch would occur. The rationale behind this is that heat is a form of energy and would

3 SUBJECT: Biology TITLE: Enzymes AIM: To investigate the effect of substrate concentration on the enzyme amylase INTRODUCTION: Enzymes are perhaps one of the most important proteins of the human body. Enzymes such as amylase‚ an enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates‚ work by means of surface catalysis. In other words‚ the surface of the enzyme enables other molecules to react in a manner they would not be able to without the surface of the enzyme present. Enzymes achieve this by lowering the

Factors That Influence the Reproduction of Sea Cucumbers by Angela Mackey (Biol 515 at SDSU‚ Fall 2001) Copyright © 2002 by Angela Mackey and Brian T. Hentschel (hentsche@sunstroke.sdsu.edu) INTRODUCTION The echinoderm class Holothuroidea consists of sea cucumbers‚ which can be described as worm-like organisms with elongated‚ soft bodies. Like most echinoderms‚ holothuroids have 5 rows of tube feet along their bodies. These tube feet aid the animal in attachment‚ locomotion and respiration (Pearse

How Organism Evolved Physiologically Cassi Verkade How Organism Evolved Physiologically Organisms adapt to their environment but what happens when an organism’s surroundings and environment change? Physiological ecology is the study and understanding of that mechanism of living organisms and how living things work. Physiological ecology arises with an understanding of the influence of temperatures. Temperature‚ along with others‚ is one of the most important factors of Physiological ecology

BSC GROUP PROJECT Babies start developing their 300 bones during the second trimester‚ according to MayoClinic.com. As your baby grows in utero‚ her bones turn from cartilage to bone‚ then fuse together to form an adult like skeleton. The bones that make up your baby’s skeleton are alive‚ growing and changing‚ just like the rest of her body. The periosteum--a thin‚ dense membrane made of nerves and blood vessels that nourish the bone--comprises the outer surface of bone. Compact bone is the next
