    Enzymes are responsible for many crucial processes in living cells since they accelerate chemical reactions which would occur too slowly‚ or would lead to different products without their contribution. Enzymes are biocatalysts that usually show high affinity to a specific substrate under particular environmental conditions. The binding of the substrate and catalysis take place at a specific small region‚ around 10 amino acids‚ in the enzyme known as active site which usually represents a hydrophobic

    The cell wall is the tough‚ flexible but sometimes fairly rigid layer that surrounds some types of cells. It is located outside the cell membrane and provides these cells with structural support and protection. Just as the wall of the factory is for the factory. The wall also is the structure and strength. The cell membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside The cell membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances

    DIGESTIVE ENZYMES AND THEIR FUNCTIONS Mouth -the oral cavity or the mouth contains salivary glands that secrete a wide range of enzymes to aid the first step of metabolism of food. The salivary gland secretes the enzyme lysozyme which has an antibacterial action. The enzymes secreted by the mouth mainly provide protection against bacteria. Betaine helps to maintain a fluid balance inside the mouth. The lists of digestive enzymes secreted by the oral cavity are mentioned in the table. Enzymes | Function

    10.10.2012 Internal assessment on enzyme concentration Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts and they are the most important type of protein. My aim in this experiment was to investigate the effect of enzyme concentration on the rate of an enzyme (protease) – catalyzed reaction ‚ catalysts speed up chemical reactions . My hypothesis is that the rate as reaction will increase as the

    Introduction There are many ways cells dispose of toxic molecules in order to maintain the necessary internal environmental conditions to survive. These toxic molecules are known as free radicals that contain an unpaired electron on the outer orbit (Proljsak et al.2013). Some examples of free radicals that can be found in the cell are superoxide (O2-)‚ hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and even reactive metals like copper and iron. These free radicals are produced based on the environment the individuals

    characteristics of a healthy cell and a cancer cell is very different. Healthy cells stop reproducing when there are enough cells‚ however‚ cancer cells continue to reproduce. Due to this continued growth a tumor‚ which is a cluster of cancer cells‚ is formed. Cancer cells do not interact with other cells like the healthy cells. Healthy cells stop growing when they hear signals from the nearby cells‚ in contrast‚ cancer cells do not respond to these signals. When healthy cells get old or damaged they

    DETERMINATION OF THE WATER POTENTIAL OF POTATO TUBER CELLS. Method. Five sucrose solutions with varying molarity and one control containing distilled water were prepared and poured into test tubes. The potato discs were dried‚ weighed and added to the test tubes. The discs were then weighed again after a period of 24 hours. The percentage change in mass was then calculated. Apparatus.  Specimen tubes with stoppers x6  1cm3 diameter cork borer  razor
