Case 1: Hereditary fructose intolerance 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

American Intercontinental University Unit 1 Individual Project SCIE206-1203A-32: Biology 07/05/2012 Abstract The effects of rock salt‚ which is used for melting snow in the winter time‚ works in a variety of ways. The main reason is to aid in melting of the snow making it easier for individuals to drive their vehicles and also the sidewalk for pedestrians. Overall‚ the rock salt used for melting snow‚ works but it have some pros and cons about it‚ but using it wisely

The plants used in this experiment are called Wisconsin fast plants‚ due to their extremely short life cycle. In just 40 days‚ the plants germinate‚ grow‚ flower‚ and die‚ which makes them convenient to study in classroom experiments. They are members of the crucifer family and are related to other plants like broccoli and cabbage. In this experiment‚ 8 fast plant seeds were planted in a self-constructed bottle-growing system‚ and they were left to grow for 7-14 days. The Net Primary Productivity

What is Polio Disease? This viral disease can affect nerves that can lead to serious paralysis (muscle function loss)‚ sometimes partial‚ or even complete. How is Polio Spread (Mode of Transmission)? Polio is a virus that spreads by the following: contact with infected feces‚ direct human-to-human contact‚ and contact with infected mucus or phlegm from the mouth or nose. What are the symptoms? The symptoms of Paralytic Poliomyelitis include: Fever (5-7 days before other symptoms)‚ abnormal

Date: 14th-15th October Title: The effect of the concentration of hydrogen peroxide on catalase Aim: to examine how the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide affects the rate of reaction Hypothesis: The substrate concentration will determine the rate of reaction. The reaction will increase as the concentration increases‚ but from a certain concentration‚ the rate will maintain the same rate Materials: 3% hydrogen peroxide 6% hydrogen peroxide catalase round metal basin measuring cylinder

1. a) You can determine the turtle’s species by the upper shell brown/reddish brown color‚ the lower shell creamy/yellow color‚ body skin brown/yellow color‚ the rusty brown scales on their head‚ and the weight and length of the turtle varying from 77-227 kilograms and 1.2 meters. b) You can determine the sex by many features. The turtle’s sexual maturity isn’t achieved until they are 15-20 years old. Adult males have longer tails and are much larger than adult females. A pair breads at

Lab 10: Cell Structure & Function Questions 1. For each structure identified‚ do you think its location affects its ability to function? Why or why not? (Hint: those buried deep in the cell probably do different things than those closer to the cell membrane) Structure does not affect function of the cells‚ cells have a particular structure that enables them to carry out their function in the best way. Everything in a cell is there to enable it to perform in the most efficient manner possible
