eating meat. For years people have been eating meat, humans digestive systems are fully capable to use all of the meat to produce energy and proteins. Including we do not have the specialized organ that omnivores do that help break down the cellulose in plants. Some reports have evidence of our ancestors eat meat since 1.5 million years ago as there many source of diet. Indians have been living off the land for many of years and used their natural resources. Same in Hawaiian culture we…

has well interconnected pore network structure and biocellulose dried sheet under 10000× magnification, the biocellulose was fibrous with irregular size and shape (Fig 4.15). Observation of biocellulose under 10000 × magnification showed the fine cellulose ribbons, sometimes called fibrils. Observation of biocellulose fibril network produced by G. xylinus is shown in Fig…

Animal testing is the use of nonhuman animals in scientific and medical experimentation. It is a hotly debated topic in the media today. Many people look at the ethics of animal testing, but do not look at the scientific facts. Animal testing is necessary in scientific and medical research at this time. We can use animals in human research because animals and humans have many similarities in their anatomy and physiology (cite). Although at the moment animal testing is necessary in scientific…

Acetaminophen is classified as an analgesic and an antipyretic. It is also one of the most commonly used medications to relieve pain in the United States. “Approximately one-third of the people in the United States report using an acetaminophen product at least once a month” (Aschenbrenner, 2006).

The United States Government must impose a complete ban on all cigarette and tobacco…

Even though systematics previously used more conventional systems such as Chatton’s division of life in to two main cellular groups; the eukaryote-prokaryote dichonomy (cited in Sapp, 2005), as well as Whittaker’s Five Kingdom system to organise all living things (Whittaker, 1969), they do not co-exist compatibly or correctly. The five kingdom system is not phylogenetically correct and eukaryote and prokaryote systems do not take into consideration new sequencing abilities (Kandler, Wheelis &…

Life is recognized by what we do. People, animals, plants and insects encompass properties such as order, regulation, growth and development, processing energy, responding to the environment, reproduction, and evolution. All living organisms exist with nonliving factors, as such, their interactions form an ecosystem. The two main processes of an ecosystem are the recycling of chemical nutrients and the flow of energy. Cells are a component of all living organisms and essentially are life’s…

Km and Vmax determination of glucocerebrosidase towards p-NPG The Michaelis constant (Km) is a measure of the affinity of the enzyme towards the substrate, with smaller values representing greater affinity. Km and the maximum rate (Vmax) of leukocyte GCase were obtained through the Lineweaver-Burk plot (Figure 4) with artificial substrate p-NPG in concentrations from 0.71 mM to2.50 mM. Km and Vmax values for leukocyte GCase using p-NPG as substrate was found to be 12.6 mM and 333 U/mg…
