DNA Extraction Lab Problem Statement: Do you think you have ever eaten DNA? Background Information: DNA is too small to see under a regular microscope‚ so how can it be studied? DNA is a large molecule found in all living things; therefore it is possible to extract it from cells or tissues. All we need to do is disrupt the cell’s plasma membrane and nuclear envelope‚ make the DNA clump together and - voila! - DNA extraction is possible. DNA extractions from onion‚ bananas‚ liver‚ or wheat

A BRIEF HISTORY OF PHARMACOGNOSY In 780 AD ‚ a Greek pharmaco-botanist Pedanios Dioscorides wrote and described about 600 plants with medicinal properties in his book “De materia medica libre cinque(concerning medical matter in five volumes). Galen was a Greek pharmacist-physician who lived in Rome and who describe the method of preparing formulas containing plant and animal drugs and the term ”galenical pharmacy” was originated. In 19th century material medica (medical

variety of bananas are taken as they are rich in cellulose and are kept in hot oven at 338K and dried sample is taken and is dissolved in hot water for starch extraction through soxhlet apparatus. This solution is treated with amylase enzyme for hydrolysis of starch to occur. It is the subjected to fermentation process by inoculation of S.cerevisiae for 3 days at 300K which results in the production of ethanol. Ethanol from the solution is extracted by the Steam distillation which is the most efficient

Digestion define as a process where foods been breaking down by enzymatic action in the Gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) into nutrients in preparation for absorption. GI tract is the flexible muscular tube from mouth to anus. The digestion of carbohydrates begin in the mouth‚ where an enzyme‚ salivary amylase (α-amylase;ptyalin) starts to breaking the polysaccharides (starch) into short polysaccharides (dextrin). Dextrin is a partial degradation of starch‚ shorter chains of maltose units. Salivary

SBI4U-C 1 Lesson Introducing Biochemistry 1 Lesson 1 Biology SBI4U-C Introduction If you think about it‚ living things are made up of chemicals. The cells‚ tissues‚ organs‚ and organ systems that together make up a functioning organism are all the product of interacting chemicals. In order to understand how the organism functions‚ you must also recognize how these chemicals function. The study of the chemicals that are involved in living things is known as biochemistry

working hard and forming realistic hypothesis‚ we were able to find the correct data. Introduction The chemical reaction that is being studied is the hydrolysis of starch and the enzyme that is being studied is amylase. Amylase is found in the saliva. This experiment is looking at the various effects on the rate of the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch. Enzymes are biological catalysts that carry out thousands of chemical reactions that occur in living cells. Generally large proteins‚ enzymes are
