Fermentation

Everyone in their lifetime has either had a scrape or cut somewhere on their extremities, that have ranged from minor to severe. If not treated properly, those simple cuts and scrapes could easily lead to major infections. Although, today many cuts and scrapes do not become infections, there was once a time that even the simplest, little cut could kill you. History has shown that many deaths have come from deadly infections or other bacteria related incidents. Over the years, there have been…

or ripens the pulps color may vary from deep red to yellow. Underneath the pulp, is the parchment layer that is a jelly-like layer protecting and covering the bean. The parchment layer is rich in sugars and is a great energy source during the fermentation process. Right underneath the parchment layer, is the silverskin layer which consists of a thin paper-like tissue surrounding the bean which usually comes off during the roasting of the bean. C. The Arabica plants require lots of sunshine…

The horse as a mammal has a hoof but on the back two are separated by the middle toe which is larger than the rest. Horses are grazers because their stomachs use fermentation to break down the food that they eat. The horse as a species is considered prey animals because their first reaction is to run and not to stay and fight to see the outcome. Horses can reach the speed of forty miles per hour when trying to escape…

I. Introduction. Think back to the last meal you had; Imagine your family consuming what you think is made up of only the freshest ingredients, your refrigerator is completely stocked with everyday necessities to provide for you and your family. Suddenly the planet starts to run out of its natural resources, prices on food skyrocket, your kids fall ill, and the environment begins to crumble. Now imagine all of this occurring in just a few short years if our human population continues to double…

Probiotics, which is stimulated by prebiotic fermentation, are important to the development and sustainment of intestinal defenses (5). This is because probiotics can stimulate the synthesis and secretion of antibody polymeric IgA, which coats and protects mucosal surfaces against harmful bacterial invasion…

Yeast Expression System for Glycoengineering Yeast expression system is an alternative to prokaryotic and higher eukaryotic expression system since it offers the attributes of speedy growth, ease to manipulate genes and low costing media like for microbes along with post translational modification and secretory expression like in higher eukaryotes. An increasing number of yeast strains are available for protein expression that are said to increase the yield of the protein, improves the…

Cellular Respiration takes place on the level of the cell, inside the mitochondria. This is the process of breaking down food in the presence of oxygen to form ATP. ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate which is an energy bearing molecule found in all living cells1. Things such as bacteria can perform this with their outer membranes. When a person runs, they use cellular respiration to create energy in the form of ATP which allows their muscles to move. Many other energy-consuming reactions of…

Background information Structure of the large intestine The large intestine (also known as large bowel or colon) is the last part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It extends from the cecum to the anus, with the ascending colon, the transverse colon, the descending colon, the sigmoid colon and the rectum in between. The large intestine consists of four layers of tissue: the mucosa, submucosa, muscle and serosa (figure 1). The mucosa is made out of an epithelial layer, with a layer of…

Introduction The Atkins Diet was developed in 1972 by cardiologist Dr. Robert Atkins for the purpose of weight loss. This diet allows for the intake of fat and protein with heavy restrictions of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the human body’s main source for energy production. The Atkins Diet suggests meals to consist of 60% fat, 30% protein, and only 10% carbohydrates (Sharma and Jain, 2014). Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) suggest carbohydrate intake to be 45-65% and fat intake of 20-35%.…

Determining Enzymes that Result to Mutation on the three Stages of Cellular Respiration Mary A Enriquez University of the Pacific November 11, 2014 2 Green Dr. Geoffrey Lin-Cereghino Abstract: The purpose of this lab is to determine which type of food source could possibly help strains grow on both permissive and restrictive temperature. Based on all the chemicals accumulating, we can determine the enzymes that are used to inhibit the three stages of cellular respiration. Introduction:…
