How the structure of proteins are related to their functions Rachel Morris The basic building blocks of proteins are amino acids‚ the biuret reaction tests for protein. A solution of sodium hydroxide is added to a sample then a few drops of copper sulphate solution‚ if positive – the solution will turn mauve. There are 20 different amino acids and they can be joined in any order. Therefore there can be many different functions. A protein consists of one or more polypeptide chains (a polypeptide

transaction occurs when a transaction is denominated in a currency other than that of the firm. For example‚ a foreign currency transaction occurs when a U.S. firm purchases electronics components from a Japanese firm and must make payment in yen. 3. This easiest way for a U.S. company to avoid foreign exchange risk is to denominate all transactions in U.S. dollars. Alternatively‚ there are a variety of methods for hedging foreign currency risk. One method is to enter into a foreign exchange forward

Lab Questions: Lab #4 * Why are the chloroplasts traveling along the outer perimeter of the Elodea cell? The chloroplast are traveling along the outer perimeter to help move the vital nutrients thought the cells and convert them to substances used in the cell of the elodea cell. * What is the typical size difference between animal cells and bacterial cells? One of the main difference between an animal cell and a bacterial cell is a bacterial cell contains a plasmid‚ a ring of DNA‚ opposed

phloem transports oxygen as oxygen gets to a plants cell by diffusion. Both stems and roots contain xylem vessels and phloem tubes. In a stem these are grouped into vascular bundles arranged in a ring. In a root these are arranged in the centre forming a structure called the stele. Xylem tissue has the dual functions of support and transport. It contains several different types of cells these are vessel elements‚ traceids‚ fibres and parenchyma cells. In contrast to this phloem tissue is living and

I. Describe the structure and function of the nucleus and mitochondria. The mitochondria is a semi-autonomous organelle which reproduces by bynary fission and has its own DNA. Its main function is to produce the energy intermediate ATP‚ through ATP synthase. Mitochondria could be considered a cell inside a cell. It has its own membranes (inner and outer membranes)‚ its ribosomes (to produce the proteins encoded in its DNA)‚ a matrix -- where aerobic respiration occurs. The invaginations of the inner

Cellular Biology Lab – Homework #3 Due the week of Nov. 4th You may use the lab manual‚ pre-lab lectures‚ and credible internet resources‚ however you may not use your cell bio lab classmates as a resource. You will most likely see this material again on the Final and I highly encourage you to work individually and seek help from myself or your TA. Plagiarism will result in an automatic zero. 1. In the cell bio lab‚ we use company manufactured gels‚ however you can make you own polyacrylamide

All these religions have different stories about how the earth came about and how life was created‚ but science has been the only source for proof of how the earth and everything on it was created.

TITLE AND AUTHOR Lab 7 Analysis of purified Concanavalin A via:Hemagglutination INTRODUCTION The purpose of this lab was to test the biological activity of ConA by performing a hemagglutination assay. If ConA is active then agglutination will occur due to ConA’s free receptors being able to bind to the glucose residues on the sheep’s red blood cells. If ConA is not active then no agglutination will occur. To test the hemagglutination reaction‚ two types of ConA solutions
