were performing‚ but of course with a higher degree of expertise and technological advantage. I found myself researching the molecular and chemical components of Arabidopsis thaliana‚ the plant model organism‚ used extensively in plant genetic and metabolism studies. Specifically I was interested in the glucosinolate content in the plant. Glucosinolates are a group of plant thiogluciosides found in all members of the plant family Brassicaceae. This group of secondary metabolites is indicative of cellular

MICROBIAL NUTRITION Nutrition which is also called as nourishment or aliment is a provision to the cells and organisms with the materials necessary to support life. Here it deals with the nutrition in microorganism which is called as microbial nutrition. Nutrients may be divided into three general‚ often overlapping categories: Those that supply energy‚ those that supply carbon‚ and those that supply any and everything else. In this lecture we will consider nutrition from the point

1. What is life? Life is the state of a material‚ complex or individual‚ characterized by the capacity to perform certain functional activities which include metabolism‚ growth‚ reproduction‚ and some form of responsiveness and adaptation. 2. What are the characteristics of living things? Organization Homeostasis Metabolism Growth Adaptation Response Reproduction 3. Create a table with two columns with the headings living and non-living and place the following under the appropriate columns

REVIEW SHEET EXERCISE 4 Endocrine System Physiology NAME: LAB TIME/DATE: Metabolism The following questions refer to Activity 1: Determining Baseline Metabolic Rates. 1. Which rat had the fastest baseline metabolic rate? The normal rat had the fastest baseline metabolic rate. 2. Compare the baseline metabolic rates for the thyroidectomized rat and the normal rat and explain your results. The normal rat’s baseline metabolic rate was faster than that of the thyroidectomized rat’s

Why do we need fruits and vegetables? As we already know that metabolism is a chemical process that is necessary for the generation of new cells and for releasing energy by breaking down of the molecules. Metabolism is actually occurring in each and every cell of the body that involves large number of chemical reactions and needs enzymes and compounds including vitamins‚ minerals‚ phytonutrients. Fruits and vegetables contain most of these important nutrients which are necessary for growth and redevelopment

Did different conditions affect the Enzyme’s Efficiency? The hypothesis was “the more the imposed condition affects the mobility of the Enzyme‚ the fewer toothpicks will be broken”. This hypothesis proved true. This experiment manifested through multiple trials that the condition the enzyme had to endure definitely affected the Enzyme’s Efficiency. During this modeling experiment‚ it was observed that that the efficiency of the Enzyme over time created a line like that of a radical function

Name: Yuguo Hou Glucose Intake Experiment In ruminants‚ starch is enzymatic hydrolyzed digested to glucose which is highly energetically efficient and absorbed by brush border membrane in small intestinal. In order to better understanding of digestion and absorption of glucose in the ruminants‚ they did a lot of experiments on three kinds of ruminate‚ cow‚ calf and sheep. Determining from different aspects such as mRNA expression‚ protein expression and enzyme activity‚ hormone

* In Aerobic glycolysis‚ glucose or glycogen is broken down to pyruvic acid via glycolitic enzymes during carbohydrate metabolism. Hydrogen is released and glucose is metabolized to pyruvic acid. In the presence of oxygen‚ the pyruvic acid is converted into acetyl coenzyme A. (Acetyl CoA). 1 mole of glucose produce 2 moles of ATP or 1 mole of glycogen produces 3 moles of ATP
