The Science of Transportation: Ancient World: The Wheel: • How do they work? Wheels work by rolling along a surface. The curved surface of the wheel reduces the friction between the two surfaces due to a decrease in surface area. With less friction it is much easier to move an object. This is because rolling friction is much weaker than sliding friction. • How did they come to be? The wheel was invented in prehistoric times; as the oldest example of a wheel yet found is from the region of

BASICS OF INTEREST RATE SWAPS A swap is an agreement between two institutions to exchange future cash flows. Suppose there is a bank receiving fixed 8% return on 2 year money lent. This bank can swap its revenue stream against another firm’s variable rate 2 year money. In practice swaps tend to be more complicated and can involve more simultaneous variations of interest rates and currency as well. When settled‚ only the differential between the would-be payments are exchanged between two parties

Protein biosynthesis is the process by which biological cells generate new proteins; it is balanced by the loss of cellular proteins via degradation or export. Translation‚ the assembly of proteins by ribosomes‚ is an essential part of the biosynthetic pathway‚ along with generation of messenger RNA (mRNA)‚ aminoacylation of transfer RNA (tRNA)‚ co-translational transport‚ and post-translational modification. Protein biosynthesis is strictly regulated at multiple steps‚ and error-checking mechanisms

Discovered in 1838‚ proteins are recognized as a large number of superior organic compounds that make up living organisms and are essential for their functioning. In other words proteins are the building blocks of life. They do many tasks for the human body and other organisms‚ that could not be done individually. These macromolecules could function as structural proteins and form structures such as keratin in hair‚ teeth‚ bones‚ muscles‚ collagen in connective tissues‚ horns in animals

Protein Monique Rowland Nutrition / 241 Instructor: AN-CHIAN CHEN October 4‚ 2013 Protein All proteins are molecules that are the boosters of living organisms and are part of each organ‚ tissue‚ and cell within the human body. The protein in consumed food turns into amino acid. The amino acid is used later replinish the proteins used. Proteins have two structures. the first and primary structure of protein is the sequence of the amino acid in the protein (Kim‚ 2005). The amino acid

Protein synthesis is one of the most fundamental biological processes. To start off‚ a protein is made in a ribosome. There are many cellular mechanisms involved with protein synthesis. Before the process of protein synthesis can be described‚ a person must know what proteins are made out of. There are four basic levels of protein organization. The first is primary structure‚ followed by secondary structure‚ then tertiary structure‚ and the last level is quaternary structure. Once someone understands

Receptor Protein Protein that binds to a specific single molecule‚ enabling the cell to respond to the signal molecule. i.e. The muscles of a person exercising can not contract without receptor proteins and signal molecules that tell the muscles when to contract and when to relax. Second Messenger Signal molecule produced in response to the binding of a chemical signal. Acts as a signal molecule in the cytoplasm. Signal Molecule Carries information throughout the body and to other
