A number of highly complex processes continuously take place on a molecular level in our body through transportation. Iron is the mineral which helps in the circulation and composition of blood. Females require a consistent level of iron‚ even overconsumption can be useful for them. In each country of the world‚ women lack adequate iron consumption leading to anemia‚ pernicious anemia‚ and even blood loss. WHO reported that 75% of women lack the minimum level of iron consumption in the body. It is

The Liver is the body’s largest gland‚ weighing about three to four pounds. It is located beneath the diaphragm in the right upper quadrant (RUQ) of the abdominal cavity. Without the liver‚ our bodies would be poisoned and unfit for us to do anything at all. It is a metabolically active organ responsible for many vital life functions. The primary functions of the liver are: Bile productions and excretion. Excretion of bilirubin‚ cholesterol‚ hormones‚ and drugs. Metabolism of fats‚ proteins

Macromolecular Composition of the Liver Cell Formal Report Aims The aim of the experiment was to test for the presence of DNA‚ RNA‚ protein and glycogen in the cytoplasm and the nucleus of bovine liver cells. From the findings of the results the distribution of these macromolecules can be shown within the liver cell. This was carried out by undertaking qualitative experiments‚ where the observation of a colour change was noted and a quantitative experiment‚ where numerical data was recorded from

below 40 but above 20‚ then the liver will show bubbles. If the temperature is raised higher than the optimum temperature‚ then an extreme decline in enzyme activity would occur following by the quick denaturing of the enzyme‚ rendering it is permanently useless. Also about 37°C is body temperature. The liver that was at 25°C had a huge amount of bubbles (a 4 on the scale) and the 0°C still had some bubbles but not as much (a 2 on the scale). The boiled liver had no bubbles. My hypothesis was

Liver Cancer‚ each year about 700‚000 people worldwide will be diagnosed; 600‚000 will die. Cancer is very serious‚ although liver cancer is not the leading most fatal cancer. Malignant tumors in the liver are usually hepatomas. Hepatomas are also known hepatocellular carcinomas or HCC. These HCC’s are only responsible for two to four percent of cancer. HCC’s are also not common in the U.S. They are found mostly in the Asia region of the world. Liver cancer is also found in children but is commonly

Discussion: The liver homogenate was expected to have the highest amount of protein concentration‚ DNA concentration‚ and total glucose when compared to the other homogenates. The liver was the biggest organ in B. taurus and it carried out numerous functions such as producing bile‚ synthesizing proteins for blood clots‚ and recycling old red blood cells. The liver ended up containing the most DNA concentration‚ but it was surpassed in protein concentration by the kidney. The protein concentration

environment [2]. Hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizing agent that can be decomposed by catalase [11]‚ the liver is able to decompose hydrogen peroxide enzymatically because it contains catalase [12]. The reaction rate of an enzyme catalysed reaction under the effect of changes in temperature was tested in this experiment. It was hypothesised that the fastest reaction rate would occur a 37 degrees Celsius. Liver and hydrogen peroxide were placed into 4 different test tubes‚ all set in different temperatures:
