Almost every cell goes through a phase called the Cell Cycle this is where they cell grows and develops and then eventually splits into two cells. Why is this important? Well through the cell cycle it repairs damaged cells or replaces worn out cells. When you break your leg the cells work to get the bone healed or when you have a cut the cell cycle will help you by dividing cells to create a scab for your cut to heal. The cell spends most of its life in interphase, then it goes to the mitotic…

Jacari smith Weathering Lab purpose: The purpose of this lab is to investigate the processes of mechanical and chemical weathering. Hypothesis: What will happen to the sugar cubes after shaking. Materials: Sugar cubes (5), Shaker bottles, Digital scale Procedures:1. First u need to shake the 5 sugar cubies and put the information the table 2. Draw a picture of…

Has the question “Is sugar good or bad for you?” ever come up in a conversation? What’s your point of view on that topic? What if I told you sugar kills? Would you eat it less? Sugar no matter if it is too much or too little can cause serious damage to your body. Sugar is one of the most dangerous things you can put in your body. If you intake too much sugar you have a higher percent chance of developing diabetes. Sugar is originally a cane hence the name “sugar cane”. Sugar cane is then…

First lane is the protein ladder which is used as a reference and to estimate the size of different proteins. Lane 1 in the green box contains cow serum which shows high mobility since it dyes all the way to the bottom with different bands through the gel. Lane 2 contained one dark band at the bottom of the gel. Lane 3 shows o dark band with low mobility through the gel. Lane 4 shows one band stained with medium mobility through the gel. Sample proteins 1-4 were separated through gel…

I have been employed by Shaun McDermott, the manager of my local football club Tummery Athletic FC, as a sports therapist. I have been asked to talk to his players about the 3 different energy systems in the body in order to develop his athlete’s knowledge and understanding of anatomy and physiology. I am hoping the talk will give them guidance and enable them to make adjustments to their current regime so that they are able to maximise performance as well as helping them to understand how their…

For this experiment, I wanted to make sure that I used a variety of substances so that I would have a range of pH levels as an outcome from the exercise. From this, I was surprised about the outcomes of several household items pH levels. For example, I was surprised about how three of the substances I tested came back with around the same pH level of 4: cranberry cocktail, lemon juice, and soy sauce. One reason I was surprised that these 3 substances had the same pH level was because I was…

Firstly, During the procedure the purpose of this lab was to determine and identify if there is protein in water, apple juice, vegetable oil, potato, and egg whites. This was done by using the biuret solution. So this means if the material turns purple then we know it contains the protein, but if it doesn't turn out to be purple then it doesn't contain protein. The data in this experiment shows that water, apple juice, vegetable oil, and potato all did not contain protein this is because none of…

I expected that pepsin will destroy the structure of gelatin protein, because the pepsin broke down the primary structure of the gelatin polypeptide into amino acid monomers. The hydrochloric acid (HCL) expected to affect the ability of amylase to digest starch, because as it is an acid it effects on the protein that makes it unraveled as it breaks down the secondary structure which it contains hydrogen bonds. As I have done to experiment one titled Digestion of Proteins by Pepsin. The result…

To understand KBs diagnoses of pancreatitis it is first important to understand the function of the pancreas. The pancreas works as both an exocrine and endocrine gland. The endocrine portion of the pancreas includes the production of Insulin from beta cells, and glucagon from alpha cells which are released into the bloodstream to help regulate blood sugars.1 The pancreas works as an exocrine organ by secreting digestive enzymes that are released into the duodenum through the common bile duct…

The experimental design for our project was to simulate the digestion of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Using a certain medication called pancreatin we tested its effects on how it was able to break down these macromolecules. pancreatin is a mixture of pancreatic enzymes that help to aid in digestion; the enzymes that are present in this mixture include amylase (breaks down carbohydrates), lipase(breaks down lipids), and protease (breaks down proteins). We had set up trials for these…
