Glycerol

but bacteria have only one. Archaea have cell walls that lack peptidoglycan and have membranes that enclose lipids with hydrocarbons rather than fatty acids. These lipids in the membranes of archaea are unique and contain ether linkages between the glycerol backbones rather than ester linkages. Archaea resembles eukaryotes more than bacteria. Their ribosomes work more like eukaryotic ribosomes than bacterial ribosomes. whereas bacteria live in "moderate" environments, archaea are usually thought…

The simple definition of Eukaryotes is that they are any organism whose cells contain a nucleus and other membrane enclosed organelles. Taxonomically, Eukaryotes belong to the taxon Eukarya. The three types of eukaryotic microbes are fungi, protozoa, and algae. Because the three types of eukaryotic microbes are all composed of eukaryotic cells, they have basic similarities in cellular structure, including the presence of a nucleus. However, these types of microbes do differ in many significant…

Y. pestis is a nonmotile, gram-negative, nonsporulating, rod-shaped coccobacillus and a facultative anaerobe. Infamous for being the causative agent in plague, has been implicated in at least three devastating pandemics in modern history. The second plague pandemic includes the Black Death epidemic which caused the deaths of a third of the estimated European population in the fourteenth century (Haensch et al, 2010). More than five hundred years after the Black Death, during the third plague…

providing the algae safe harbor and contact to sunlight, the anemone receives oxygen and sugar, the bi-products of the algae's photosynthesis. The sea anemone benefits from the products of the algae's photosynthesis, namely oxygen and food in the form of glycerol, glucose and alanine, the algae are guaranteed a consistent exposure to sunlight and protection from micro-feeders, which the anemones actively maintain. The algae also benefit by being protected due to the existence of stinging cells…

According to official website for Gatorade, Gatorade is the one of the most famous sports drinks, which was formulated in early summer of 1965 at the University of Florida College of Medicine to help football players to facilitate proper hydration. A private company obtained patent to sell the drink publically and started adding chemicals to processed Gatorade in 1969 (Newsmax Health, 2013). Soon after, Gatorade spread out athletic fields and it became the official sports drink of the NFL in…

broken down into glucose. Within the Protein digestion pepsin which is produced by the stomach digests protein to peptides and continues in the small intestine where trypsin carries out this same process. Lipids digestion end with monoglycerides (glycerol + one fatty acid) and fatty…

During the phase and process of the bacterial unknown project, vast amounts of test were performed in order to determine an unknown species of bacteria. Within the many procedures of identifying the unknown bacteria, I was first given a tube with the unknown bacteria, from which later on I started subcultures by streaking bacteria from the original tube onto a tryptic soy agar (TSA) slant. Throughout the process of identifying the unknown, new subcultures were produced in order to use the newest…

Through technological advances of microscopes humans are able to detect tiny molecules cells and subcellular structures that turn out to be the most important thing structures for of every living creature on this planet which are cells. The cell theory states every living organism is made up of cells and that all cells arise from preexisting cells Cell structure is highly complex with many internal structures. Cells contain the instructions for our genetic makeup and errors in these instructions…

Pancreatic juice contains three hydrolytic enzymes: Pancreatic amylase, which breaks down carbohydrates into disaccharides, Trypsin, which breaks down proteins into polypeptides, and Lipase, which breaks down triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol. NaHCO3 neutralizes the acid chyme entering the duodenum from the stomach giving the small intestine a basic pH which is necessary for enzymes to function or else they will denature. Here is where the problem occurs. Usually the pancreas does…
