Specific Objective: Carry out test for reducing sugar‚ non reducing sugar‚ starch ‚ protein and lipid. BIOCHEMICAL TESTS Reducing and non-Reducing Sugars Sugars can be classified as either reducing or non-reducing based on their ability to reduce copper(II) ions to copper (I) ions during the Benedict’s Test. Reducing sugar have contain free aldehyde or ketone group and have the ability to reduce copper(II) ions to copper (I) ions during the Benedict’s Test. All monosaccharides are reducing

staining techniques and biochemical testing to identify an unknown bacteria using Bergey’s manual. Bergey’s manual of Systematic Bacteriology is a dichotomous key primarily used to identify a bacterial species. Biochemical tests are used to differentiate different species of bacteria. These tests are effective in determining the characteristics of the microbe being tested. Such characteristics include citrate utilization‚ gelatin hydrolysis‚ nitrate reduction‚ etc. Biochemical testing is very important

information used to redact this research paper. Most of them were written by psychologists who conduct and grade different type of psychological tests‚ and therefore have first hand experience with the type of questions‚ the procedure‚ and the people who take the tests. Their professional experience regarding the topic made understanding intelligence tests and its grading easier‚ but it also proved that‚ since the person grading it is human and imperfect‚ mistakes can certainly be made and the results

Jonathan Nebelsick VO2 Max Tests Conclusion Submaximal VO2 tests are extremely useful for determining estimated VO2 maxes for a subject for a variety of reasons. VO2 max measures the maximum amount of oxygen that can be used by a person undergoing intense physical exertion. VO2 max is considered the best test of cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance. If a person can utilize more oxygen‚ then they are able to use that oxygen as a final electron acceptor to make ATP through aerobic metabolism

various biochemical tests Date of experiment: 11/10/2012 Name of Student: Vicki Marshall Introduction A series of biochemical tests was carried out to identify unknown carbohydrates. There were six carbohydrates that needed to be identified; they have been randomly labelled A-F. The carbohydrates are glucose‚ fructose‚ maltose‚ lactose‚ sucrose and starch. There was six tests that were carried out to help identify them‚ these were: Iodine Test‚ Solubility in Water‚ Benedict’s test‚ Acid Hydrolysis

Biochemical Test – Enterobacteriaceae Bacterial spp incapable of fermenting glucose cannot utilize lactose. 2 enzymes necessary for a bacterium to take up lactose: A. β-galactoside permease – facilitates the entry of lactose molecules to bac cell wall B. β-galactosidase – breaks down lactose into β-D glucose and β-D galacatose LF possess both enzymes NLF do not possess β-galactosidase LLF do not possess β-galactoside permease Glucose fermenters only (true enteric pathogen)

Biochemical Conditions and Crime Many factors can contribute to the activities linked to crime‚ some criminologists turned to the biological basis of criminology. Research efforts have been made to better understand the areas of biochemical and neurophysiologic factors that have been associated to crime. There are several areas of interest in biochemical factors such as diet‚ sugar‚ hormonal imbalances‚ and environmental contaminations. What people eat and take into their bodies may control

Objectives 1. To determine biochemical activities of microorganisms. 2. To observe the product of biochemical activities of microorganisms. 3. To learn the skills of inoculation agar tubes and agar plates. Introduction Microorganisms are able to carry out different biochemical activities with the ease of different enzymes. Each of these enzymes carries out one specific type of the chemical transformation. They convert substrates into product. A) Carbohydrates Fermentation Microorganisms utilize

Biochemical weapons are a major factor in warfare in the upcoming years. These weapons are easy to make‚ efficient‚ and deadly which increases the threat even more if in the wrong hands. Biochemical weapons have been used in the past including World War 1‚ World War 2‚ Iran-Iraq War‚ and acts of terrorism. Many bacterial‚ viral agents and toxins can put public health in risk‚ in the case of biochemical attack. These pathogens‚ if used‚ will pose a huge dilemma with public health and can cost many

INTRODUCING WITH BIOCHEMICAL CYCLES Biochemical cycles Nutrients are important for organisms to function. Each nutrient has a role in global biogeochemical cycles. A nutrient is a chemical that organisms need to live and grow and are substances an organism’s uses for metabolism which must be taken in from its environment that enrich the organism. Two types of nutrients are macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients are needed in large quantities while micronutrients are needed in smaller
