both carbohydrates and lipids in the production of ATP. Mobilization of Carbohydrates When carbohydrates are consumed during a meal‚ catabolism originates in the mouth. The salivary enzyme α-amylase breaks down the carbohydrates through the hydrolysis of the α1->4 glycosidic bonds. This is followed by the further breakdown of the complex polysaccharides in the small intestine down to monosaccharides units in order for the glucose to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream. Mobilization

FACTORS AFFECTING SULFUR MINERALIZATION Sulfur content of organic matter Mineralization of sulfur depends on the sulfur content of the decomposing material in much the same way that nitrogen mineralization depends on the nitrogen content. Smaller amounts of S042- are liberated from low sulfur containing residue‚ which is similar to nitrogen mineralization. At or below a C/S ratio of approximately 200/1 only mineralization of sulfur occurs. Source of mineralizable sulfur Because of the contribution

Amylase exists in the saliva of humans and certain mammals that catalyze the hydrolysis of starch into smaller carbohydrate molecules or sugars. Alpha-amylase is an abundant component of saliva in

Abstract This experiment was carried out to perform staining methods on microbes‚ explain the mechanisms of staining‚ namely‚ simple staining‚ and learn how to use the microscope. The experiment setting was kept as sterile as possible when conducting the experiment. The microbes under the microscope were drawn out and labelled. In conclusion‚ different staining techniques are used to determine the presence of certain exterior structures of the bacteria like the cell envelope or just to identify

The Origin and Evolution of Life on Earth Why do we start the discussion of biology with a discussion of geology? Here are some reasons why one would do this: * All life on earth is linked to geology; likewise‚ many surface geologic features and processes have been influenced by life on earth. The origin and early evolution of the earth are especially important when looking at the origin and early evolution of life on earth. * Life chemistry had its origin with the elements available to
