1/ List and describe the four factors that affect the rate of drug distribution. The four factors that affect the rate of drug distribution are absorption‚ metabolism‚ distribution‚ and excretion. a. Absorption is the movement of a drug from its site of administration into the blood. Most drugs are absorbed by passive absorption but some drugs need carrier-mediated transport. Example: Acidic drugs such as aspirin will be better absorbed in the stomach whereas basic drug

Cellular Respiration and Fermentation Facts to Remember 1. Cellular respiration is a catabolic series of reactions. 2. All living forms conduct some form of cellular respiration‚ either aerobic or anaerobic. a. Aerobic is in the presence of oxygen b. Anaerobic is in the absence of oxygen or none oxygen requiring. 3. The starting molecules consist of the biological molecules with carbohydrates (monosaccharides) as the first choice. The order of use is given below. a. Carbohydrates b.

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration go hand in hand‚ but there are differences of the two that most people overlook. Without either of these processes though‚ the human species wouldn’t exist. Along with every other plant or animal. Photosynthesis starts off the cycle‚ with light energy being trapped within the cell and transported into the chloroplast. Water and carbon dioxide follow the similar route of the light energy and as so is collected into the chloroplast. Photosynthesis tends to take

Factors Affecting the Rate of Enzyme Activity Justin Hunter G. Kim September 16‚ 2011 September 26‚ 2011 Abstract Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms that is frequently used by cells to rapidly catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into less reactive oxygen and water molecules. Catalase is a protein that is most commonly found in the liver. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effect that changes in temperature and pH have on the function

percent of the planet’s surface‚ as stated in NASA’s Earth Observatory division. They use a process called photosynthesis‚ which allows plants to take energy from the Sun and later using it as food‚ as well as producing oxygen through the process of respiration. So how does it happen? The process of photosynthesis occurs as follows. First‚ the plant uses the sunlight and the green color in their leaves to make sugar from carbon dioxide‚ or CO2‚ which is in the air. At the same time‚ the soil provides water

Conclusions The amount of cellular respiration increases based on the amount of exercise. The equation for cellular respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 ⇒ 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP. Glucose is broken down into 2 pyruvate. The pyruvate then travels through the Kreb cycle and produces carbon dioxide. The oxygen travel through the electron transport train and produces water and energy. In order for the body to maintain homeostasis while exercising more oxygen is needed and cellular respiration increases. In return for a greater

Brittany Snell Nielson Bio 110 Oct-11-2013 Cellular Respiration All living organisms need energy to function and we get this energy from the foods we eat. The most efficient way for cells to harvest energy stored in food is through cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is defined as the aerobic harvesting of chemical energy from organic fuel molecules. Cellular respiration occurs in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. It has three main stages: glycolysis‚ the

FlowCAM® Application Note #105 Yeast Viability Measurements in Fermentation Studies Objective An important component of fermentation processes is to continually monitor yeast growth and viability. The most common method for doing this is using the ASBC hemocytometer count method. In this method‚ samples are taken from the fermentation vessel‚ stained with methylene blue‚ and then counted manually under a microscope using a hemocytometer. While this method is well known and documented

ISOMERIZATION OF AN ALKENE Martin‚ Marilen1‚ Lovenia‚ Melden D.2 1Professor‚ School of Che-Chm-BE-MSE‚ Mapua Institute of Technology; 2Students‚ Chm145L/A41‚ School of Che-Chm-BE-MSE‚ Mapua Institute of Technology ABSTRACT The experiment was conducted to accomplish the following objectives. The first objective aims to synthesize an isomer of alkenes. This was done by converting maleic acid to fumaric acid. This conversion was accomplished by applying a heat-catalyzed reaction on maleic acid

The drug “dinitrophenol” (DNP) was prescribed by some physicians in the 1940’s to help patients lose weight. This unsafe method was abandoned after a few patients died. DNP uncouples the chemiosmotic machinery by making the lipid bilayer of the inner mitochondrial membrane leaky to H+. Explain how this could cause weight loss. In chemiosmosis‚ NADH are passed along the electron transport chain‚ with energy used to pump protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. As the protons are transferred
