Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technology that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create graphic images of the body’s anatomical and internal structures (1). MRI relies primarily on the protons in fat and water molecules of the body‚ as these protons respond to the static magnetic field created in ways that allows for a high quality image to be generated (2). These images contrasts specific tissue and different anatomical structures. For example‚ MRI can reveal

Biology Laboratory Report Practical 4 Food tests Introduction The main components of food are proteins‚ fats‚ carbohydrates‚ and‚ of course‚ water. Proteins‚ lipids and carbohydrates are carriers about energy necessary for vital activity. They are a plastic material for the formation of structures of the body‚ as well as used for the synthesis of hormones and substances that transmit signals in the nervous system. Our food also includes food (plant) fibers‚ has recently seemed unnecessary ballast

Roy Levin Bio 11 Lab Dr.Izquierdo Analysis of Macromolecules in Tissue Homogenates of Bos taurusMaterials and Methods The homogenates provided were made by homogenizing tissues in a sucrose phosphate buffer in a 1:20 ratio. The protein concentration in bovine cells was measured by diluting the homogenate with a 1:5 ratio; 50 microliters of homogenate and 200 microliters of water. Then 5 known protein concentration samples which were 0.4‚ 0.8‚ 1.2‚ 1.6‚ 2.0 mg/ml of bovine serum were used to

organisms are carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ lipids‚ and nucleic acids they are called macromolecules. Each of these macromolecules is made of smaller subunits. These subunits are linked by dehydration synthesis. Dehydration synthesis is an energy requiring process in which a molecule of water is removing and the two subunits are boded covalently. This energy releasing process is called hydrolysis. The subunits of macromolecules are held together by covalent bonds and have different structure and properties
