CELLS All living things are made of cells‚ and cells are the smallest units that can be alive. Life on Earth is classified into five kingdoms‚ and they each have their own characteristic kind of cell. However the biggest division is between the cells of the prokaryote kingdom (the bacteria) and those of the other four kingdoms (animals‚ plants‚ fungi and protoctista)‚ which are all eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells are smaller and simpler than eukaryotic cells‚ and do not have a nucleus. Prokaryote

` Study Guide for Exam 1 Chapter 1: 1. What is a “microbe”? What groups of organisms are included in this category? Microbes (microorganisms) are minute living things that individually are too small to be seen with the unaided eye the group includes bacteria‚ fungi‚ protozoa‚ and microscopic algae‚ viruses Only minority of microorganisms are pathogenic(disease-producing) 2. What are some of the benefits provided by microbes? Decompose organic waste‚ producers in the ecosystem

antibody and lymphocyte count to have protection against infectious diseases. Agaricus birporus‚ commonly known while button mushroom which is edible and was traced to invigorate one’s immune system because of the presence of beta-glucan‚ a polysaccharide that is rich in nutrients like riboflavin‚ niacin‚ and B vitamins which help in stimulating the immune system. The problem of this study is to determine the ability of beta-glucan from Agricus bisporus for the increase in antibody and lymphocyte

concentration of the solute but not on its identity. Osmosis is essential in biological systems‚ as biological membranes are semipermeable. In general‚ these membranes are impermeable to large and polar molecules‚ such as ions‚ proteins‚ and polysaccharides‚ while being permeable to non-polar and/or hydrophobic molecules like lipids as well as to small molecules like oxygen‚ carbon dioxide‚ nitrogen‚ nitric oxide‚ etc. Permeability depends on solubility‚ charge‚ or chemistry‚ as well as solute size

important macromolecules; carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids. From these four‚ the macromolecule I chose for this assignment was carbohydrate. Carbohydrates branch off into three main categories; monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ and polysaccharides. I decided to focus on disaccharides‚ specifically sucrose. Sucrose is more commonly known as table sugar. It has a chemical formula of C12H22O11. It is physically described as a white‚ odorless (although when heated‚ it may have a caramel-like

Unit 21: Nutrition For Health & Social Care P2 M1 By Shannon Chloe Grocott 12.5 Alcohol Extra Details: The government have advised that women drink 21 units of alcohol per week and men drink 28 units of alcohol per week. Food Sources: Alcohol can be found in cooking wines‚ malt/wine vinegar‚ gin‚ beer‚ large‚ white wine‚ red wine and rosary wine. The Risks: If an individual consumes too much alcohol it can lead to increased risk of liver damage‚ which is called cirrhosis. It can develop liver

Bioquímica Repaso Examen 1 Chapter 1: Introduction to Biochemistry 1.1 Biochemistry is a Modern Science • By synthesizing urea‚ Friedrich Wöhler showed that compounds found in living organisms could be made in the laboratory from inorganic substances. He used the inorganic compound ammonium cyanate. • Two major breakthroughs in the history of biochemistry are especially notable: o Roles of enzymes as catalysts o Roles of nucleic acids as information carrying molecules.

sucrose‚ or starch‚ will produce the greatest amount of fermentation over the class period? Why? Hypothesis: If the carbohydrate starch is added to the set up of yeast‚ then it will create the greatest amount of fermentation because starch is a polysaccharides made up of chain of glucose molecules. Conclusion: Overall the resulting data supported the alternative hypothesis‚ in which the type of carbohydrate makes a difference on the amount of CO2 produced. When deducing the results‚ it was concluded
