Staphylococcus aureus‚ otherwise known as Staph‚ is a bacterium that has naturally acquired resistance to many current antibiotics. Specifically‚ the MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) strain has acquired resistance to methicillin. Staph frequently colonizes in human nasal passages‚ which serve as reservoirs for transmission. The following texts focus on Staph’s nasal colonization and mode of transmission‚ inspired by the research of Dr. Alexander Cole at UCF’s Burnett School of Biomedical

Review 2: Text DNA is a very special and important molecule that is in our life‚ DNA is found in the nucleus. DNA stores the data needed to make poly peptides‚then data in a nucleic acid is transferred to messenger RNA‚ which escapes the nucleus into a protein. According to the DNA and protein article DNA is used in many things but DNA is used to make pol-peptides. They are another word for proteins. When a cell makes a protein the direction are resembled from the part of an DNA. DNA strand and transcript

Secondary excitotoxicity is thought to be more relevant to chronic neurodegenerative disorders than the classical acute form. In this pathway increased glutamate levels are not required as disturbances with the neuronal resting membrane potential cause glutamate receptors to be over-activated by physiological levels of glutamate. In a neuron which is affected by another pathological process and shows reduced ATP production‚ Na+ dysfunction or impaired glucose metabolism and as a result has an abnormal

Summary This experiment will measure the rate of oxidation of iodide ions by persulphate ions to derive the rate law for the reaction. Starch will be added to the reaction to facilitate the measure of time during the reaction. The reactant solutions will contain (NH4)2SO4 and KI‚ represented as: (NH4)2S2O8 + 2KI -> I2 + (NH4)2SO4 + K2SO4 This can be simplified to: S2O82- + 2I- -> I2 + 2SO42- These equations can only be carried out and be visible after the iodine has completely
