Biological pigment

evidence collected, it is fair to conclude that an increased amount of succinate does in fact lead to a faster rate of cellular respiration. Since DPIP turns colorless when it accepts electrons and is reduced, less light will be bouncing off of the blue pigment in it, and instead will be transmitted through. Therefore, the tubes with the highest transmittance have the most DPIP being reduced during the conversion of succinate to fumerate. Table 3 shows the tubes with the highest concentration of…

2.1 Ageratum conyzoides Ageratum is derived from Greek word, which is “a geras” meaning non-aging, referring to the longevity of the flowers or the whole plant. The word “conyzoides” is derived from word “konyz” meaning resembles (M.X et al., 2016). Ageratum conyzoides is belongs to the Asteraceae family. Plant species in this family are herbaceous plants which trees and shrubs are rare. This plant is very common in West Africa and Asia. It has softly hairy stems and leaves, erect and branched…

What is biodiversity? Introduction Biodiversity is defined as the variety of life on Earth at all its levels and includes genes to ecosystems, as well as the ecological and evolutionary processes that sustain it (Cardinale, 2012). The Earth’s biodiversity has long been a source of wonderment and scientific curiosity, but is increasingly becoming a source of concern. The sheer diversity of life is of inestimable value. Biodiversity has a number of functions on Earth, from providing a foundation…

The original 1968 film Planet of the Apes is a film where in an alternate world there is a planet that is inhabited by apes such as gorillas, orangutans, and chimpanzees. The apes, in a reverse of roles, are the supreme beings and man is just an animal, something to be looked at and experimented on. Like what we do today with apes, putting them in cages and zoo’s. The film is centered around knowledge and controlling it, controlling who knows certain things. The people who are in control of this…

Chemically, polyester (or many esters) is primarily a family of polymers wherein the monomers belong to the category “esters”. The most commonly used polyester is the polymer of diglycol terephthalate and is called polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Nylon is a group of polymers, which can be classified as polyamides. Today several types of nylon are produced with properties tuned to meet customer specifications. The most commonly used ones are nylon-6 (which is manufactured from caprolactam) and…

Tibetans, Andeans and Ethiopians are three small tribes who live in high elevations and conditions that, for lowlanders, would be considered hazardous and unsafe; but for them, it is an everyday life struggle. Just like those who live in remote, extreme climates, like the Inuits, these tribes have changed their whole genetic make-up in order to survive these conditions peacefully. Communities living in high altitudes and climates could be prime examples of how to survive in the harshest…

1.0 INTRODUCTION: 1.1 Oral Drug Delivery System: Oral route is the most common route of drug administration. Modern drug delivery strategies try to improve oral drug delivery.1 When a new drug is discovered, a pharmaceutical industry asks one of the first questions is whether the drug can be effectively administered for its intended effect by the oral route or not. If patient self administration cannot be achieved, the sale of drug constitute only small fraction of what the market would be…

contain dyes and pigments in waste water. Characteristically high in colour and organic content (Grag, et al., 2004). Dyes are widely used in industries such as textile, rubber, paper, plastic, and cosmetic. There are many of dyes exist in industries and one of them is methyl red and through nano zerovalent iron removal of dyes from waste water. Dye industry effluents constitute one of the most problematic wastewaters to be treated not only for their high chemical and biological oxygen demands…

using it. There are alcohol spray bottles throughout the lab. Spray it in your area and use the paper towels to wipe it down. Obtain a clean polystyrene vial and fill one eighth of the tube with dry food. The fly food was purchased from the Carolina Biological Supply company. Add about 9 ml of water to the dry food and gently roll the vial five times. Leave it untouched for two minutes so it can dry. If the food appears cracked or flakey, more water is needed. Make sure not to add too much…
