Kess Wieser Mr. Quillin Honors Biology, Block 5 11/01/17 1. The equations are the opposite of each other. Photosynthesis uses sunlight to convert foods from carbon dioxide and water light energy into a six-carbon simple sugar, and also produces oxygen. While cellular respiration uses the oxygen and sugars to release chemical energy for the cells to use, and also produces water and carbon dioxide. 2. The rate at which photosynthesis occurs needs to be higher because photosynthesis creates…

Figure 1. Function and Nuclear Translocation Illustration of the Nrf-2 Pathway Preliminary data showed that SUL could ameliorate hyperoxia-compromised phagocytic function. This experiment sought to explore the mechanism behind this phenomenon. We hypothesized that the activation of Nrf-2 would increase the antioxidant potential of macrophages exposed to hyperoxia by induction of antioxidant protein, HO-1, leading to a reduction in iROS and the subsequent prevention of HMGB1 release. Significant…

1. FRQ #1 a. test variety B 22 C (4.2-0)/ (60-0) = .07 test variety B 8 C (2.8-0)/ (60-0) = .046 test variety A 22 C (2.4-0)/ (60-0) = .04 test variety A 8 C (.45-0)/ (60-0) = .0075 b. Metabolism is the breakdown of foods to provide energy for the body. Breaking down the foods use cellular respiration which requires glucose and oxygen and produces carbon dioxide. The faster the metabolism, the more cellular respiration will occur which causes an increase in oxygen to be consumed. The…

Sodium Azide There is perhaps not a lot known about this chemical and what it can do to/for people. One important aspect is to know what the chemical is made of, doing so will give someone a general look into its makeup. Secondly, “What is something we use this chemical for in everyday life”. Lastly, “How does this affect our cell breathing process?” From these topics, one can gather a general sense of what this substance does and whether or not it should be strayed away from. Of course it…

Demonstration of Cellular Respiration Inside Lima Beans Cells in Vitro Purpose: Cellular respiration is a series of metabolic reactions that take place in the mitochondria and produce chemical energy in the form of ATP by the breakdown of food molecules.There are three processes involved in cellular respiration; glycolysis, the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain. During this processes, glucose is oxidized by a series of redox reactions and its electrons and hydrogen ions are donated…

The laws of heredity discovered by G. Mendel are similar for all complex life creatures and he concluded that genes come in pairs one from each parent inherited as distinct units. Also, the mathematical patterns of inheritance as well as genes segregation and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits were determined during his genetic experiments with pea plants and outlined three laws oh inheritance. First, the Law of Dominance is expressed where one allele dominates…

Title: Importance of photosynthesis in agriculture. Introduction: photosynthesis is the process by which plants and some bacteria convert energy from the sun into food or chemical energy, This is how plants survive. This is the chemical reaction that takes place inside the leaf of a plant. This is what makes plants green and healthy.Photosynthesis has a vital role in agriculture. It allows crops to turn energy from the sun into a food source it helps the growth of the crop. It provides…

The chemistry of carbohydrates, proteins and minerals plays an important role in running the life process of human body. The chemical reactions and their role in the human body are essential as it fuels the body to carry out the life process, to keep the body healthy and to provide body with energy. Structure of Starch It is formed by units of glucose and is a homopolysaccaride. It is found in the vegetable cells and is composed of two types of homopolysaccaride; Amylopectin and amylose.…

1. Introduction Hydroxynitrile lyases (HNL, EC 4.1.2.x) are enzymes which mediate the release of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and aldehyde or ketone from cyanohydrins [1]. These HNL catalyse enantioselective synthesis and cleavage of cyanohydrins [2]. The cyanohydrins and their derivatives are finding wide applications in industries like pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and cosmetics since these can be readily converted into other important molecules like α-hydroxy carboxylic acids, α-hydroxy ketones…

Within the body of a child dwelled an atom, who helped to make up the elements that dwelled in the body of a child called Alex. Even though, the atom was the smallest unit in the whole body, it helped to make sure the daily needs of the body were met. The atoms acted as the tough guys of the body because they were big in number, or so they thought. They would often compare their amounts of neutrons, protons, and electrons to one another and drawing out structural and molecular formulas, to make…
