Chapter One INTRODUCTION Herbal medicines tend to look primitive and unscientific when compared to synthetic (conventional) drugs‚ which are thought to be more reliable than those made from plants. Herbal medicine is still the mainstay of about 75-80% of the world population‚ mainly in the developing countries for primary health care (Kamboj‚ 2000). This is primarily because of the general belief that herbal drugs are without any side effects‚ besides being cheap and locally available. The

Procedures: This experiment called for prepared agar in a petri dish‚ smeared s. epidermis on the surface of the prepared agar‚ and a 3 separate quadrants labeled gentamicin‚ novobiacin‚ and penicillin. Once those steps were completed a tablet of the 3 antibiotics were placed in the center of the 3 quadrants with the petri dish lid closed

The relationship between shape and diffusion rate Aim- To investigate the relationship between the shape of an object and the time taken for a substance to diffuse to its centre. Hypotheses- Part A) The 5x5x2.5mm block will turn clear first as the Surface area to volume ratio is high and the 10x10x10mm block will take the longest to completely diffuse the Acid to its centre. Part B) The flat‚ rectangular block will be the first to completely turn clear due to its high Surface Area/Volume Ratio

plasmids by using molecular techniques. Agar plates labeled LB‚ LB/AMP‚ and LB/AMP/ARA containing ampicillin (AMP) and arabinose (ARA) were used to grow of the bacteria of interest and SDS-PAGE gels were utilized in identifying the fluorescent and non-fluorescent proteins. The end results illustrated that there were no signs of fluorescent proteins in the gel bands and there were red fluorescing bacteria in the LB/AMP plate that should not have been. The agars contained in all three plates was exposed

CORE PRACTICAL ONE Describe how the effect of caffeine on heart rate in Daphnia can be investigated practically‚ and discuss whether there are ethical issues in the use of invertebrates. Daphnia‚ the water flea‚ is a small freshwater crustacean which lacks physiological methods of maintaining a constant body temperature. This means that if the environmental temperature changes‚ its body temperature does so too and its metabolic rate will be expected to rise or fall accordingly. So the temperature

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Banana is a popular fruit. It’s easy to peel‚ easy to eat‚ and easy to find‚ typically located in a prominent spot in the produce section of a grocery store. With the wheels of the grocery cart still moving‚ we don’t stop to think about the battles the banana grower had to fight to provide a perfect fruit for our convenient consumption. Fusarium wilt or Panama disease is a severe disease of banana plants caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f.sp
