MOLECULAR FARMING INTRODUCTION Biotechnology in agriculture has two categories: 1. “Improvements” to existing livestock and crops‚ and 2. Development of entirely new uses for both animals and plants (biopharming). “Improvements"‚ include ‘input traits’ such as crops with extra resistance to insect attack‚ improved weed control‚ increase the plants tolerance to cold‚ drought and other environmental factor. Ex "Roundup ready" soya‚ "Starlite" corn‚ or "Frost-tolerant" tomatoes. WHY PLANTS

elemental analysis‚ conductance measurements‚ molecular weight determinations‚ UV-visible‚ multinuclear (1H‚ 13C‚ 119Sn) NMR spectroscopy‚ FT-IR‚ X-ray powder diffraction and theoretical calculations. On the basis of these techniques‚ it is proposed that the ligands are bounded to the tin atom through the azomethine nitrogen and carboxylate oxygen. The data reveal that triorganotin(IV) complexes have penta-coordination with trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Molecular modeling has been

mixes with water‚ and has a freezing point of 78 degrees Farenheit (PubChem‚ 2016). This substance allows for proper testing due to its freezing point being at room temperature. Tert-butanol can easily show how the process of phase changes can happen without having to take the time to freeze a different substance. It is also necessary to note the molecular formula. Tert-butanol is C4H10O‚ which is an organic compound. Organic compounds can be highly flammable‚ so using this substance relies on the

Firstly‚ it is possible to use sheep erythrocytes as models for human erythrocyte behavior because permeability similarity increases for more closely related species (Hunter 1976). Using an even more closely related species’ erythrocytes in diffusion experiments would provide an even better model for human cell behavior. Additionally‚ finding out more about diffusion mechanisms may allow scientists to synthesize compounds that have

Molecular gastronomy Transglutaminase (TG) is a naturally occurring enzyme in plants‚ animals‚ and bacteria. Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts in chemical reactions; they speed up reactions and make reactions occur that otherwise wouldn’t. Although TG is a newcomer to the kitchen‚ cooks have used enzymes for thousands of years. Enzymes in papaya‚ for instance‚ are traditionally used as meat tenderizers. The enzyme rennet is used to curdle milk when making cheese. Enzymes that break down

Purpose: To observe epithelial tissue by using a microscope to compare prepared slides. Introduction: Epithelial tissue covers the whole surface of the body. It is made up of cells closely packed and ranged in one or more layers. This tissue is specialized to form the covering or lining of all internal and external body surfaces. Epithelial tissue can be divided into two groups depending on the number of layers of which it is composes. Epithelial tissue which is only one cell thick is known as

different pH buffers to amylase affect the rate of starch digestion measured using starch and iodine? Introduction Amylase is an enzyme found in human saliva and pancreas. It is the digestive enzyme that is needed to breakdown starch molecules. Amylase must be kept at certain conditions to function at its optimum level. This experiment will explore the effect of pH (1‚ 4‚ 7‚ 10‚ and 14) on the function of amylase by using starch and iodine. Usually iodine has a orange-yellow color‚ but iodine
