Through this experiment we measured how fast a chemical reaction occurs, by changing the degradation rate in Albumin when added to different enzymes. Albumin is a protein found in egg white, which is considered to have important storage and nutritional functions. Albumin has also been used in medicine to treat heavy metal intoxication. We ran Albumin through four different conditions to see which would make the Albumin degrade faster. We predicted that the Albumin would degrade with pepsin the…

Decades ago 2,4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) was introduced as a weight loss drug acting as an agent that uncouples oxidative phosphorylation causing significant increase in basal metabolic rate. However, the consumption of the product has resulted in many deaths due to misuse causing adverse effects such as hyperthermia, tachycardia, diaphoresis and tachypnea. The rate of metabolism is closely linked to the rate of respiration; therefore, if metabolism is increasing there should also be an increase in…

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener which is used as sugar substitutes. Structurally, aspartame is the combination of aspartic acid, a polar charged amino acid and phenylalanine, a non-polar charged amino acid. The chemical formula of this compound is C14H18N2O5 and the molecular weight is 294.3 g per moles. The functional groups of aspartame are one carboxyl group, one amine group, one amide group, one phenyl group, and one ester group (methyl ester). Although aspartame has aspartic acid in…

I am currently reading about the six essential nutrient groups. Carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water are the six essential nutrients found in food. These six Nutrients are very important in one's diet. Carbohydrates was the first chapter I read this week. In this chapter I learned about the functions of carbohydrates and the primary sources of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins provide energy for the human body but carbohydrates are the main source. Carbs…

“Why are cells so small?” The concept of this investigation is to examine which method of diffusion is the best explanation to why cells are small. The transpiration of cells nutrients apparat in different ways; one way is Osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water. Active transport requires ATP to transport nutrients and then there is diffusion, which is the process of moving nutrients from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The first explanation studied is that…
