Determining the Production of Glucose During Changes in Temperature and pH‚ and Manipulation of Specificity and Cofactors BIOL-1406-SL8 November 16‚ 2012 Abstract Enzymes are biological catalysts. They work by lowering the activation energy needed to initiate a chemical reaction. Enzymes work within an optimal temperature and optimal pH. Enzymes are highly specific for a single substrate. The Enzyme is usually much larger in size than the substrate it binds to. In some cases‚ an enzyme requires

1.0 Introduction This assignment is based on a study of alcohol metabolism and its impacts to human health. The assignment explains that how the body can dispose of alcohol and discern some of the factors that influence this process and influences of the process to the metabolism of food‚ hormones‚ and medications. 1.1 History of alcohol The word “alcohol” appears in English as a term for a very fine powder in the 16th century. It was borrowed from French‚ which took it from medical Latin.

that would otherwise be too slow to support life. Catalase is an enzyme present in the cells of plants‚ animals and aerobic (O2 requiring) bacteria. It promotes the conversion of hydrogen peroxide‚ a powerful and potentially harmful oxidizing agent‚ to water and oxygen. Catalase also uses hydrogen peroxide to oxidize toxins including phenols‚ formic acid‚ formaldehyde and alcohols. Catalase is an example of a particularly efficient enzyme. Catalase has one of the highest turnover numbers for all

Why does early and forced marriage happen? The causes of early and forced marriage are complex‚ interrelated and dependent on individual circumstances and context. But the practice is driven by these main factors: gender inequality – women and girls often occupy a lower status in societies as a result of social and cultural traditions‚ attitudes‚ beliefs that deny them their rights and stifle their ability to play an equal role in their homes and communities poverty – in families on a low

Effect of Greywater Irrigation on Soil Hydraulic Properties Henry Hartono Gunawan 1 INTRODUCTION The use of Greywater for landscaping irrigations is becoming common as Western Australia is experiencing the water restriction due to the current drought condition and critically low level surface water storage. Hence‚ the reuse of Greywater can utilise the on-site resource‚ conserve the water efficiently‚ and reduce the load on wastewater disposal system. As there is still lack of information

Water pollution is a serious matter‚ and can be defined as a problem. Poor water quality is just another way of saying water pollution. Water pollution is when one or more substances build up in water to such an extent‚ that several problems for animals and humans develop. Rivers‚ lakes‚ oceans‚ and other inland waters are able to naturally clean up certain amounts of the pollution by dispersing them harmlessly. Water pollution depends on the quantities: how much of the polluting substance is released

Brooke Strowd AP Biology Ms. Butler 28 January 2013 I. Title: Effect of a Catalyst on Reaction Rate II. Introduction: The basis of the experiment is the enzyme; an enzyme is a biological molecule that acts as a highly selective catalyst. By combining with a substrate‚ an enzyme is able to create a new product that helps the body function. (Ex. Lactose/Lactase) A substrate is a molecule an enzyme acts upon‚ the two combine at an area called an active site. This active site allows induced fit

the wrist‚ groin‚ or inside of the elbow. Respiratory Acidosis The kidneys and lungs work together to keep a balanced acid/base‚ or pH‚ level. Respiratory acidosis is the result of too much carbon dioxide and not enough oxygen in the blood. This condition can be caused by chest injury‚ chronic lung disease‚ or overuse of sedatives. ABG results will show a low pH and a high PCO2‚ according to Lab Tests Online. Respiratory Alkalosis Respiratory alkalosis can occur if a patient hyperventilates.

of deposition is dangerous however because precipitation can eventually wash pollutants into streams‚ lakes‚ and rivers. Acidity itself is determined based on the pH level of the water droplets. PH is the scale measuring the amount of acid in the water and liquid. The ranges from 0 to 14 with lower pH being more acidic while a high pH is
