instructions for building other molecules Living organisms gather energy and materias from their surrounding to: Build new biological molecules Grow in size Repair their parts Produce offspring All organisms are composed of the same macromolecules (proteins‚ fatty acids/lipids‚ carbs and nucleic acids) All organisms engage in metabolism Marinating internal balance in response to the environment is known as homeostasis The cell is an organized chemical system that includes many specialized molecules

Which of the following is least likely to increase the

bacterial infections. They work by either killing the bacteria or by stopping them dividing and growing. Some work by interfering with enzymes that are essential in the replication of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) in the bacterial cells or in protein synthesis. Some work just by blocking the sites where enzymes usually join to the substrate‚ so they can’t join on and catalyse the reaction. The parent DNA molecule unravels itself and becomes 2 individual strands that stand on either end. The two

transmission decreases at a steady rate‚ until it reaches pH 8 where there is a steep increase from 30% to 39% as the enzyme has reached its optimum pH at 8. During the experiment in the boiling tube this pH had the deepest red colour as the most protein gelatine was broken up. This meant that in the colorimeter when testing to see what the light transmission‚ this pH let the least light through. For this enzyme as the pH increases the percentage of light transmission decreases until it gets to pH

Examples: L-Leucine‚ Citrulline Malate‚ Beta Alanine‚ L-Isoleucine‚ L-Valine‚ and alpha-Hydroxyisocaproic Acid (HCAA) B. They are the building blocks of proteins‚ form coenzymes (coenzymes are essential for enzyme activity; enzymes facilitate biochemical reactions in the body) and

atrium and then the left ventricle pumps it to the rest of the body. Blood travels round the body faster‚ delivering nutrients faster‚ so the animals have a higher metabolic rate. 1.1.2 Arteries and veins contain collagen: a tough‚ fibrous protein to make them tough and durable. The artery wall stretches as blood is pumped in and then recoils as the heart relaxes. Blood flow is continual and there is a pulse. Contracting muscles and low pressure in the chest when breathing in assist

the following questions: What is the difference between Resolution and Magnification? What is the difference between Amplitude contrast and Phase contrast? A student in a cellular biology laboratory is faced with the task of detecting protein X in muscle cells taken from a rat. The tissue is required to be live while under analysis. Which type of microscopy should be employed? a) Phase contrast light microscopy b) Transmission electron microscopy c) Scanning electron microscopy d) Fluorescence
