African Diaspora and the World After reading the short story “Diaspora” by Joanne Hyppolite‚ I got a vivid understanding of how diaspora can have an effect on one’s identity. Over the past month we have studied many theories and concepts concerning race‚ gender‚ and politics. There are three theories that capture the essence of Joanne Hyppolite’s worldview as a Haitian growing up in America: intersectionality‚ identity‚ and diaspora. Individuals oftentimes experience the theory of Intersectionality

Reetika Kashyap September 20th‚ 2012 Enzyme Lab What is an enzyme? Enzymes are specialized protein molecules simplifying most of the body’s metabolic processes such as‚ supplying energy‚ digesting foods‚ purifying your blood‚ executing the body of waste products etc. Enzymes act as catalyst by speeding up the reactions that happen in our bodies and decreasing the amount of activation energy needed to break a complex down. A reactant is any given enzymatic reaction is called a substrate for that

The objective of this macromolecules lab was to identify the presence any of the major macromolecules in various every day food items. The three macromolecules that this lab was carried out for were carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ and proteins. There were five different experiments conducted and each of those experiments had one factor in common‚ they all had the same controls. The controls in this lab activity were already set for the lab activity. The controls were the distilled water and the baking soda

over all fitness. Physiological Area Exercise can be damaging to the muscles‚ the damage that the muscle endure following a challenging or new exercise can take the form of soreness. Muscle soreness is attributable to the decline in carbohydrate stores and protein stores in the muscle during exercise. The decline in the body’s energy stores result in damage to the muscle that is preforming the exercise‚ which inversely causes soreness. Due to this occurrence it has been scientifically

Laboratory Report on Urine Examination Introduction: When testing urine the test results may provide information regarding the status of carbohydrate metabolism and kidney function. The kidney glomeruli act as ultrafilters for the plasma protein; however as much as 150 mg/dl of protein may normally be excreted into the urine. In glomerular proteinuria‚ an increase in glomerular permeability occurs‚ resulting in an increase of urine proteins. High urine protein concentration therefore may indicate

Research Question How will the addition of different pH buffers to amylase affect the rate of starch digestion measured using starch and iodine? Introduction Amylase is an enzyme found in human saliva and pancreas. It is the digestive enzyme that is needed to breakdown starch molecules. Amylase must be kept at certain conditions to function at its optimum level. This experiment will explore the effect of pH (1‚ 4‚ 7‚ 10‚ and 14) on the function of amylase by using starch and iodine. Usually
