Remember, remember the fifth of November of gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gun powder treason should ever be forgot.” The Grate Catesby Still, Fawkes was the only man ever to enter Parliament with honest intentions. A lot has happened in 411 years, parliaments today are highly respected, highly paid and monarchs tend to not conflate with constitutional proceedings, policy chaos or of the word of the people. Nevertheless, the term: treason is a byword and such law has…

Ningaloo Reef Marine Ecosystem 1. Identify ten organisms from your chosen ecosystem and draw a food web to show trophic interactions between them. Within this food web, you must include and label a decomposer. Ten organisms that live in the Ningaloo Reef include the bottlenose dolphin, loggerhead turtle, tiger shark, whale shark, Southern Calamari squid, jellyfish, zooplankton, dugong, phytoplankton and seagrass. The decomposer in this food web is bacteria, which works to further break down…

1.3.3 Lipid oxidation While not a direct outcome of proteinaceous compounds, aldehydes such as hexanal and (E)-2-nonenal have been attributed to the oxidation of lipid components present in the raw material (Aaslyng et al., 1998b). They are often present in much higher concentrations in enzyme hydrolysates and have been correlated to beany off-odours described in numerous literature. Solina et al. (2005) compared the volatile components of soy protein isolate (SPI) and acid-hydrolysed soy…

PHOTOSYNTHESIS: WAVELENGTHS VS. DISTANCE Introduction: Every living being on Earth can be categorized by either autotroph or heterotroph. What do I mean autotroph or heterotroph? Humans and most animals are considered heterotrophs. Heterotrophs gain their energy from harvesting the energy that other living things have stored. An example of this would be a human having a turkey dinner or a rabbit enjoying some leafy greens. Each example shows a living thing, consuming another once living thing…

Introduction The agricultural industry is the key industry that feeds, clothes, and keeps the population of the world comfortable in their homes. Members of this large, yet dwindling industry are faced with the challenge of feeding a rapidly growing population that is expected to reach 8.5 billion people by the year 2030. The major component fueling the agricultural industry is the soil. The very outer layer of the earth’s crust is the very one thing keeping the population thriving. While some…

Microorganisms are living organisms which can be seen only with the aid of microscope. They are widespread in nature and are beneficial to life, but some can cause serious harm. There are six major types of micro-organisms these are bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa, algae, and viruses. This essay aims to analyse micro-organisms and disease. First the key features of the main categories of micro-organisms and the roles of commensals, and pathogens will be explained respectively. Then mode of…

Photosynthesis Pine Needle Lab Karthik Ravishankar Rock Ridge High School Background Information Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight and turn it into glucose with a byproduct of oxygen in the chloroplast. Chloroplast is located in the cell membrane of a plant cell. Inside the chloroplast, there are small disks called thylakoids which are located in the stroma of the chloroplast. Stacks of thylakoid cells are called granum.…

serotonin receptor transmission. Linaool has antidepressant effects and is effective topically to heal tissue and reduce scarring. Phytol Phytol is unique from other terpenes, offering other medical options. Phytol is the byproduct of decomposed chlorophyll. It has floral and balsamic aroma. It is an immunosuppressant and impedes the activity of Aflatoxin (a mycotoxin) in the body. It is used topically to reduce itching and to treat slow-healing wounds. Beta Myrcene Beta Myrcene is also…

Regeneration of enzymatic cofactors is the most limiting technical challenge of employing biochemical synthetic reactions for industrial chemical manufacturing. Consequently, requirement and the high cost of these cofactors has limited, isolated biocatalysts for production of fine chemicals. We strived to engineer a drop-in, cofactor regeneration technology, circumventing limited use of isolated biocatalyst for consumer chemicals. Presented here is a biologically engineered artificial organelle…

Introduction The term disturbance is often associated with negative connotations. However, ecologically speaking, disturbance is a natural and vital process that can ultimately help facilitate the development of an ecosystem (Attiwill, 1994). In general, disturbance is an event that causes a change in the structure of an ecosystem, resource availability, and/or the physical environment (Turner, 2010). There are also disturbance regimes, which focuses on the temporal and spatial dynamics of…
