〖Na〗^+and K^+channel relationship Figure one shows the temporal relationship between 〖Na〗^+ conductance (g_Na) and K^+ conductance (g_(K )), and the relative changes in the V_m during an action potential. 〖 g〗_Na increased as the V_m moved towards 0 mV causing depolarization of the membrane and started to decrease immediately after the peak of the action potential. Whereas, g_(K ) increased immediately following the action potential peak during the repolarization of the plasma membrane where…

Even people living in not so hot places search for information on how to stop armpit sweating effectively. The reason for this information search is because of problem of excessive perspiration called Axillary Hyperhidrosis. When a person suffers from hyperhidrosis excessive sweating is seen in some or several parts of the body even under normal cool atmospheric conditions. This problem happens because of an overactive sympathetic nervous system in some parts of the body. The over activity…

Baking Soda and Citric Acid is what’s in the mystery mixture. That group thinks that Baking Soda and Citric Acid is in it for a lot of reasons. One reason is that the mystery mixture has circular round objects in it and the Citric Acid is circular and round. Another one is that when you cut open the Citric Acid it’s crystal clear inside. The mystery mixture is also crystal clear inside when you cut it open. The fizz time of the mystery mixture and Baking Soda and Citric Acid were both roughly…

The test on Taco Bell's meat mix was tested and it was found that about 15% of it was protein. That might not sound like a lot, but for ground beef, it’s right around normal. That is because ground beef is mainly composed of water and fat so that percentage of protein is normal. However, that’s not all that was tested. There were some ingredients that were found in the meat that you would not find in your supermarket meat. One such ingredient is soy lecithin. That is a binding agent so without…

Acid forming elements are chlorine, phosphorus, and sulfur (different from alkaline-forming elements). These elements are the primary element in foods containing moderate to large amounts of protein (except for milk and a few other dairy products). I decided on using peanut oil because peanuts yield an acid, thus they contain acid-ash. Acid-ash residue is inorganic radicals that form acid ions in the body, causing lower pH making the urine more acidic. Acid urine favors the excretion of kidney…

a pH of seven, however most water, either from the tap or rain water, are not neutral (they do not have a pH of seven) instead it varies slightly and normally ranges from about 4.0 to 5.5 on the pH scale, which shows that they are slightly acidic. Acid rain is due to the chemical reaction that takes place…

Malachite Green Assay: The reaction that AGPase catalyzes produces PPi. The resulting PPi that is produced is hydrolyzed by an inorganic pyrophosphatase (Sigma Aldrich) to generate phosphate (Pi). Each reaction for the assay was conducted on a 96 well plate and the reaction mixture was 50µL and contained Pre-Mix which contained 50mM HEPPS, pH=8.0 (MP Biomedicals), 10mM MgCl2, 1.5mM FBP (Sigma Aldrich), and 0.2mg/mL Bovine Serum Albumin (Sigma Aldrich), and 1.5mU/µL yeast inorganic…

By using the bioinformatics information, we can determine that the non polar amino acids affect the bonding with hydrogen bonds. This means that the pH of the enzyme will be physiological. It can work better at a pH concentration of 7, and actually the cells can survive in that environment. Meaning, enzymes can work well with this concentration of pH, so it bonds do not break easily when it can be saturated of acid or base. 4. As our experiment says, the three different amylase will have…

a pH of around eight, or in other words the endpoint of a solution. It also allows us to see a physical change, thus resulting in a more accurate measure of how much was titrated. Citric acid is a weak acid, making it best titrated by using a strong base, such as sodium hydroxide. The combination of a weak acid and a strong base would result in an endpoint that corresponds to the range of phenolphthalein indicator approximately a pH of eight. Image A Phenolphthalein is composed of C14H20O4, as…

On the experiment 1 solvent abilities: All solutes were expected to dissolve in water because water is known as “universal solvent.” Observation showed that many salts and sugars were able to fully dissolve in the water solvent, but corn oil did not (Figure1).The reason salts would dissolve into water solvent because water molecule carried partial positive charge on hydrogen atom and partial negative charge on oxygen atom; they could react with cation and anion from salts that have ionic bonds…
