Livja Koka Anaerobic Bacteria In this experiment the purpose is to seek understanding between an organism and its use of oxygen. Oxygen is a very important part of the organisms’ survival. Oxygen has a tendency to form very reactive by-products inside a cell. These by-products create havoc by reacting with protein and DNA‚ thus inactivating them. Cells that are able to live in the presence of oxygen have evolved enzymes to cope with H2O2 and O2- and thus are not inhibited by O2. Also many anaerobes

Understanding the Principles and Practices of Assessment Q1 - Explain the Function of assessment in learning and development The assessment cycle continues until all aspects of the qualification have been achieved by the learner:- Initial assessment – Prior knowledge of the subject to determine teaching style. Assessment planning – agree what types and methods of assessments are to take place Assessment Activity – what methods‚ e.g. observational/ assignments/ questioning Assessment decisions

Does the amount of time that orange juice is swished in a human mouth affect the pH of the saliva‚ which could inhibit the digestion of the starches in the orange juice? Hypothesis: The longer 2 mL of orange juice is held in a test subject’s mouth‚ the greater the ability of the test subject’s saliva will become to break down starches. Dependent Variable: pH of the saliva. Independent Variable: time that the juice is swished in the mouth. Controlled Variables: Orange juice only. The

Review Sheet Exercise 8 Chemical and Physical Processes of Digestion NAME Dane Wilson LAB DATE/TIME august 4th Carbohydrate Digestion The following questions refer to Activity 1: Assessing Starch Digestion by Salivary Amylase. 1. At what pH did you see the highest activity of salivary amylase? Why? 7.0 because that is when the salivary is most effective and it breaks down carbohydrates. 2. How do you know that the amylase did not have any contaminating maltose

Checkpoint: Human Digestion SCI/241 June 4‚ 2013 The path that food follows through the digestive system is very interesting. First you put the food to your mouth‚ take a bite‚ and chew. The salivary glands begin the digestive process at the sight and smell of food. After food enters the mouth and is moistened by saliva‚ it transforms into a bolus. Once the bolus leaves the mouth‚ it moves into the pharynx‚ where it can be swallowed. The bolus then moves from the pharynx to the stomach

species of bacteria look similar under the microscope and also have the same staining results (ex. Gram stain). To be able to differentiate between the different species‚ one can look at the metabolic differences (fermentation)‚ as well as the environmental condition differences (temperature‚ pH‚ oxygen requirements). Being able to manipulate these conditions in a controlled environment can help to correctly identify the exact bacteria. Different media can be used to culture and identify bacteria. Some

How can both parties improve their communication skills? Health care providers help their patients to have a healthy and long life with the care and attention that they provide. However‚ both parties have to cooperate in order to improve their communication skills in order to have better medical results. It is undeniable that doctors often just don’t make sense. They use complex vocabulary and they don’t seem to pay attention to what a patient is communicating. One of the ways that doctors can

Gum leaves contain only about 50% water‚ very little nitrogen‚ large amounts of fibre and potentially toxic oils. Koalas are found to have molars premolars to physically break down the food. Plants contain cellulose‚ which can only be broken down to release cell contents after much

Abstract: Bacteria consists of a large domain of prokaryotic microorganism in which can fight of antibiotics allowing the bacteria to become antibiotic resistant. In this lab report‚ we discover the most effective disinfectant that would work best in killing the harmful bacterial strain‚ Bacillus subtilis. KB testing or disc diffusion antibiotic sensitivity testing is measured through the diameter in millimeters to find how resistant the antibiotic to the bacteria. The hypothesis of Windex fell correctly
