Enzyme Report Case 1 - Hereditary Fructose Intolerance 1 & 2. Enzymes take on a variety of roles in the human body at the cellular level. Specifically‚ they aid in the breakdown of macronutrients such as glucose and fructose so that the body can use them. Although reactions within the body would occur without enzymes‚ enzymes provide control because the reaction is not needed all of the time. Enzymes function in specific environments such as temperature or pH; some enzymes are specific

Nuclear Power Debate Year 11 Physics Gurjyot Singh Australia currently has no nuclear facilities generating electricity‚ which is forcing the Australian Government to look towards nuclear energy as a great alternative. Nuclear energy is a growing controversial topic in Australia; because the demands of utilizing electricity are increasing rapidly. According to a recent study‚ Australia has 23% of the world’s uranium deposits and is the second largest producer of uranium

to its ability or tendency to lose a proton. There are very few strong acids. A strong acid is one that completely ionizes in water. In contrast a weak acid only partially dissociates. Examples of strong acids are hydrochloric acid (HCl)‚ hydroiodic acid (HI)‚ hydrobromic acid (HBr)‚ perchloric acid (HClO4)‚ nitric acid (HNO3) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4). In water each of these essentially ionizes 100%. The stronger an acid is‚ the more easily it loses a proton‚ H+. Two key factors that contribute

Chemiosmosis. Chemiosmosis‚ by definition‚ is the diffusion of ions through a partially/selectively permeable membrane (down an electrochemical gradient). It is specifically refers to the flow of protons through the inner mitochondrial membrane. The main theory behind chemiosmosis is call Chemiosmosis theory‚ and was developed by Peter Mitchel in 1961. Here is a brief outline of the theory (now pretty much accepted as fact): Throughout respiration carrier molecules (NAD and FAD) are produced‚

Question 2.1: (i) Calculate the number of electrons which will together weigh one gram. (ii) Calculate the mass and charge of one mole of electrons. * ------------------------------------------------- Answer (i) Mass of one electron = 9.10939 × 10–31 kg Number of electrons that weigh 9.10939 × 10–31 kg = 1 Number of electrons that will weigh 1 g = (1 × 10–3 kg) = 0.1098 × 10–3 + 31 = 0.1098 × 1028 = 1.098 × 1027 (ii) Mass of one electron = 9.10939 × 10–31 kg Mass of one mole of

the potential energy of the electron is used by enzymes to pump hydrogen atoms inside the membrane. This creates a proton gradient. The proton gradient is caused by a higher concentration of protons inside the membrane than outside. This proton gradient is then used to add a phosphate onto ADP‚ turning it into ATP. The net effect of this process is to store the energy of the proton gradient in

*PEPTIC ULCER DISEASE* Brief Introduction * Peptic Ulcer is a break in the gastric or duodenal mucosa that arises when the normal mucosal defensive factors are impaired or are overwhelmed by aggressive luminal factors such as acid and pepsin. * Ulcers extend through the musvularis mucosae and are usually over 5 mm in diameter. * In the United States‚ there are about 500‚000 new cases per year of peptic ulcer and 4 million ulcer recurrences; the lifetime prevalence of ulcers in the adult

least common isotope of carbon‚ which is carbon-14‚ has 8 neutrons. All three isotopes of carbon have 6 protons‚ which makes them a carbon atom. Explain radioactive isotopes and one medical application that uses them. A radioactive isotope is an unstable isotope whose nucleus decays spontaneously‚ which in turn gives off energy and particles. This decay usually leads to a change in the number of protons found in the atom‚ in which the original atom is converted into an atom of a different element. An
