Introduction to Biochemistry Biochemistry : a multidisciplinary science that explores the chemistry of living organisms and molecular basis for changes occurring in living cells. Principal areas of Biochemistry 1. Struture and Function of Biomolecules Based on structure depend the function (structure function relationship) Example: Hemoglobin S differs from regular adult hemoglobin (hemoglobin A) by just one single amino acid. A valine replaces a glutamine in the 6th position of the beta

understand some general tests that detect fats‚proteins and carbohydrates in foods. INTRODUCTION Carbohydrates are also known as sacharides. There are 4 main groups of carbohydrates‚which are monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. Carbohydrates play an important role in living organism as it is the energy storage‚ and it also plays an important role in structural of living organisms. There are various of test can be done to identified the present of carbohydrates in foods

Anissa Davis 32130161 The Industrial Process of Sulphuric Acid6 The contact process: At the heart of this process is a reversible reaction in which sulphur dioxide is converted to sulphur trioxide‚ but first you have to produce sulphur dioxide. Stage 1: Making sulphur dioxide Either burn sulphur in air: S (s) + O₂ →SO₂(g) Or heat sulphide ores strongly in air: 4F eS₂(s) + 11O2(g)→2F e₂O₃(s) + 8SO₂(g) Stage 2: Making sulphur trioxide Now the sulphur dioxide is converted into sulphur trioxide using an excess of air

ABSTRACT The effect of inorganic cofactor such as Magnesium to the rate of respiration of yeast was determined using Durham tube assembly with the substrate glucose. After thirty minutes‚ the test tube with the cofactor in the form of Magnesium sulphate MgSO4 showed the higher amount of carbon dioxide evolved which was measurable through volume and was one of the by- products of cellular respiration. This stated that the higher amount of CO2 evolved‚ the higher the rate of respiration. Thus‚ the

Chapter 1: What is Nutrition? What Drives Our Food Choices? We Need to Eat and Drink to Live Nutrients: compounds in foods that sustain your body processes. There are 6 classes of nutrients: carbs‚ fats (lipids)‚ proteins‚ vitamins‚ minerals and water 3 of 6 classes of nutrients: carbohydrates‚ fats‚ protein- provide energy in the form of kilocalories 2 of 6 classes of nutrients: vitamins and minerals‚ help regulate many body processes‚ including metabolism 1 of 6 class of nutrients- water

1. The Structures of the Human Heart The human heart has four chambers: two ventricles‚ each of which is a muscular chamber that squeezes blood out of the heart and into the blood vessels‚ and two atria‚ each of which is a muscular chamber that drains and then squeezes blood into the ventricles. The two atria reside at the top of the heart; the two ventricles are at the bottom. And‚ the heart is divided into left and right halves‚ so there is a left atrium and left ventricle‚ as well as a right atrium

According to Reece et al. (2015)‚ animals can be described as organisms that are multicellular‚ heterotrophic eukaryotes that have tissues made from embryos. The difference between plants and animals are from their source of nutrients. Plants get their food by making them through a process called photosynthesis‚ which makes plants an autotroph. Animals‚ on the other hand‚ get their food by consuming other organisms and ingesting them‚ which makes them a heterotroph. Besides that‚ there are also variations

Chitosan (11 KDa) showed a wide endothermic peak over wide range of temperature from 90.6°C to 146.7°C which can be attributed to water evaporation because polysaccharides are hydrophilic polymers that have a strong affinity for water. This result matched with the result of Ujang Z. et al. (2011) (133). And similar to all‚ the PM between CXB and 11 KDa chitosan (11 KDa chitosan:CXB 7:3) showed both the melting point

making them even more better/worse. Bacteria that lives together are more effective as species. It allows them to protect each other‚ share food‚ and kills more efficiently. The complex organic glue that bacteria or other organisms produce is polysaccharides along with some proteins and nucleic acid and EPS held the biofilm together. Surrounding the biofilm with these substances helps cells develop complex three dimensional‚ resilient‚ and attached communities. That structure is very close to a substance
