Report on Result and Discussion on isolation of protein from spinach leaves In this experiment, we tried isolating an actual protein called Rubisco from spinach leaves. The full meaning of these Rubisco means Ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase which is an enzyme that catalyzes the addition of a carbondioxide group to ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate during sugar production in green plants. Although Rubisco is an abundant protein in plants, it is not the major component in all spinach…

The basic function of Lipolysis was discovered in early 1900s [1]. However, the proteins and enzymes involved in the process took a lot of time to identify its exact function and property. Ruford Zechner, a Biochemical professor at University of Graz, made a great contribution in the area of lipid catabolism and identified the properties of several important metabolic lipases involved in each step of the triglyceride hydrolysis into fatty acids. This led to the discovery of adipose-triglyceride…

crystal refined from beet plant or the cane. It is has two sugars (disaccharide) - glucose and fructose that is broken into simple sugars. Primary sugar present in refined corn syrup and fruits are fructose, while glucose is the only brain fuel that also provides body energy as it’s transported in the blood stream. How sugar is utilized in the body Digestion of unprocessed, natural and whole food produces all glucose the brain needs for proper human organism function, this is possible without…

The 3 main ingredients are: Gum base Flavorings Sweeteners Gum used to be made of the sap of a tree. Gum contains long molecules what helps make the gum stretchy and good to blow bubbles. Thousand of years ago scientist have discovered human teeth marks in wads of gum. All gum is made of gum base. A gum base is made out of 3 ingredients, these 3 ingredients are Wax, Resin, Elastomer. The wax softens the gum, the Resin is tree sap, and its the part you chew, and the Elastomer is rubber, and…

Many different Neuroscientific techniques have been used and developed throughout the years in order to successfully identify and study an individual’s brain function, thus indicating how these techniques help to understand how the brain works, some of these techniques include: Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Computed Tomographic (CT), Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Magnetoencephalography (MEG). This essay will discuss these techniques in…

Question: Were starch and Lugol’s molecules able to cross the membrane? Hypothesis: If there is a presence of glucose among the fluids in between the intestine and circulatory system then there is to be a breakdown of starch molecules within the digestive tract . Materials: One small beaker, Two large beakers, Dialysis tubing, Plastic pipettes, Amylase, Cooked starch, Lugol’s solution, Glucose test strips, Tubing clamps Procedure: Once in groups and materials are obtained one is to place four…

The hypothesis was that as the amount of sugar in the water increased, the amount of time it takes to dissolve sugar would increase. My group’s data from the experiment refutes this hypothesis, because the amount of sugar already present in the water had no effect on the time it took to dissolve. The only variable that changed was the amount of sugar that was already in the glass. Other variables my group attempted to avoid changing was the amount of water in the glass, how much sugar put into…

Title: What is The Effect of the Amount of Lemon Juice on the Mass of Curds? Purpose The purpose of the experiment was to investigate the effect of the amount of drops of lemon juice added to skim milk on the mass of the formed curds. Background Information Milk curd is defined as the byproduct of the effects of acid and enzymes on milk protein and fat (Milk Chemistry). Fresh cows milk has a pH of between 6.7 and 6.5. When milk is acidified, the fat and proteins begin to curdle, or…

manure; and shiitake mushrooms decompose dying deciduous trees. To decompose the cellulose found in the cell wall of plants, mushrooms use the enzyme cellobiase. Cellobiase is important because it is the rate limiting enzyme in the production of glucose (Wei et al., 2012). In this experiment the substrate for cellobiase, cellobiose, was replaced with gluco p-nitrophenyl. Gluco p-nitrophenyl turns yellow when it is exposed to the stop solution. The absorbance of the solution that contains the…

II.I How it is use? Muscle contraction requires the use of ATP molecules. Indeed, muscle cells are composed of contractile elements: sarcomeres. Muscle contraction is due to the slippage of myosin fibers on the actin fibers. For this, the head of the myosin binds to the troponin site of the actin filament. Then, an ATP molecule will bind to myosin to separate actin and myosin and thus allow its attachment to the neighboring troponin site due to hydrolysis of ATP in ADP + Pi. This creates a…
