Since the beginning of time, genomes have been in existence since the -, “so-called big bang theory”. Genomes are the key to life because they are an organism’s complete set of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). DNA is the source in which processes transcription takes place to form a ribonucleic acid (RNA) and is then translated into an amino acid, which is the essential building block of protein to life. For example, hemoglobin, the cells in our bone marrow, churn out a hundred trillion per second of…

not contain DNA and all proteins are nucleus derived. The metabolic function entails the oxidation of the cell’s fatty acids via two mechanisms, alpha and beta-oxidation. Beta-oxidation pertains to longer fatty acid chain metabolism that produces acetyl groups and hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct (Harvey Lodish et al. 2004). Peroxisomal matrix enzymes such as alkyl-glycerone phosphate synthase (AGPS) take part in catalyzing the production of the plasmalogen lipids which are found in cell…

This morphological change during sepsis renders fat cells more able to intake circulating glucose and FA liberated through septic induced metabolic alterations. Lipogenic enzymes (acetyl CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthase) are elevated in the fat cells during trauma/sepsis. This fosters greater FA and glucose storage in fat cells. Thus, smaller fat cells and increased lipogenic enzymes increase the removal of glucose from the…

nutritionists have suggested a minimum carbohydrate intake of 100 grams daily to prevent losing lean muscle tissue, whereas low carb advocates typically limit carb intake to 10 to 20 grams per day. When carb intake is restricted, the body’s liver converts acetyl CoA into the ketone bodies 3-hydroxybutyrate and Acetoacetate. Since the liver cannot use ketone bodies, they are transported to the brain to use as an alternate fuel source to traditional glucose. Carbohydrate recommendations are…

EXTRACTION OF A KNOWN MIXTURE Separation of mixture of Acetyl salicylic acid (aspirin) and naphthalene Experiment # 6 Introduction A technique called extraction will be demonstrated in this experiment. Extraction relies on the solubility of substances into solvents and the insolubility of the solvents into each other. In this experiment, three organic compounds (aspirin and naphthalene) will be separated from each other. The two compounds are all soluble in ethyl ether (an organic solvent). By…

Get Rid Of Puffy Eyes Overview Puffy eyes refer to the form of swelling in the tissues around the eyes which are called the orbits and are usually caused by hormonal changes, allergies, stress, and lack of enough sleep, aging, eye fatigue, excessive crying and excess fluid accumulation called oedema, which is due to too much consumption of salt. When you wake up in the morning and your eyes are puffy, it can be so irritating and this can make you tired and ill. Puffy eyes can be associated with…

General Facts: • Aspirin is an acetyl derivative of salicylic acid.

Historic background: • The origin of aspirin has evolved for the past centuries going…

Chitin is the second most abundant natural polysaccharide consisting of β(1→ 4)-linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) units in a linear form. Chitin is insoluble in water and mainly exists in two crystalline (α- and β-) forms. The α-chitin consists of sheets of tightly packed alternating parallel and antiparallel chains (1) and is abundant in the exoskeleton of arthropods, insects, fungi, and yeast cell walls. The chains are arranged in parallel orientation in β-chitin (2), which occurs less…

Cellular respiration is the set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products (Wikipedia, n.d.). Metabolism affects the processing of a pear as it moved through the process of cellular respiration. Furthermore, there are three steps in the cellular respiration process. The three-stage process consists of glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and the electron…

Want a smaller waistline? If so, you 've already tried diet and exercise, and failed. Belly fat, the hardest fat to lose because it resists diet and exercise. To succeed, you may need a fat burning supplement like Thermo Blend by NatureWise. Hitting a weight loss plateau means it 's time to change your approach. Your body has adapted to your existing weight loss program, making it less effective. Fat burning supplements don 't simply support your weight loss efforts. They help you blast past the…
