ABSTRACT The study aims to produce biodegradable plastic using cassava starch as its main component. Cassava starch was mixed with water‚ epoxydized soya bean oil (ESBO)‚ glycerol‚ and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The mixture was then compressed and tested. Three preparations were made from the mixture. The first preparation contained 50 grams starch‚ 50 grams water‚ 50 grams PVA‚ 2.5 grams ESBO‚ and 2.5 grams glycerol. The second preparation contained 65 grams starch‚ 65 grams water‚ 50 grams PVA‚ 2

Title: Cassava starch as an effective component for Ideal Biodegradable Plastic Proponent: Zhaira Morysette L. Maco‚ III-Narra student Introduction: Inventions have evolved and continue to evolve such that after several years of study‚ research and experimentation reach great developments. With continuing efforts to investigate the constituents of Philippine plants‚ we have pursued investigation of starch of the cassava plant (Manihot esculenta). Cassava tubers were gathered‚ ground and squeezed

A Case of Acute Pancreatitis by David F. Dean Department of Biology‚ Spring Hill College NATIONAL CENTER FOR CASE STUDY TEACHING IN SCIENCE Case Presentation George Hendrix is a 38-year-old man who has abused alcohol his entire adult life. Recently‚ following an episode of binge drinking‚ George experienced a gradual onset of pain in his upper abdomen that radiated to his back. The pain persisted for several hours and worsened each time that he ate. He also felt nauseous and experienced repeated

electrophoresis buffer provided the correct pH and it gave ions to support the conductivity for the gel to run. The uncut λ DNA would be added to labeled tube as a control DNA. By comparing the conformations of uncut DNA with the cut DNA‚ the completed digestion could be verified. Molecular marker‚ which was used for molecular weight calculation‚ was stored in another sample tube. The prepared sample contained puC18 DNA would be run as the degrade DNA control

ANAEROBIC DIGESTION ON BIODEGRADABLE WASTE FOR METHANE GAS CAPTURE BIODEGRADABLE WASTE: Biodegradable waste is a type of waste‚ typically originating from plant or animal sources‚ which can be decomposed by other living organisms. Biomass‚ manure‚ sewage‚ municipal waste‚ green waste and plant materials are some of these common biodegradable waste. ANAEROBIC DIGESTION: This is a series of biological processes in which microorganisms breakdown biodegradable materials in the absence of oxygen

Introduction: With the execution of this experiment‚ we began to go deeper into the Cell and Molecular Biology course. The main focus of the experiment would be how the Restriction Endonucleases cleave the strands of DNA. For this experiment‚ pBR322 was the specimen to use. Restriction Endonucleases work by cleaving the sugar phosphate backbone of specific DNA sites. Restriction enzymes that have been isolated from bacteria have a defensive role. This idea is illustrated when an attacking foreign

The main structural difference between starch glycogen cellulose comes from? In: Human and Animal Interaction Starch‚ glycogen and cellulose are all polymers of glucose. They differ in the type of glucose present and the bonds which link thr glucose monomers together. Starch and glycogen are made from alpha-glucose. This is an isomer of glucose in which the hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to carbon number 1 is below the plane of the ring. Starch is itself composed of two types of polymer:amylose
