Carbohydrates are biological molecules made up of organic substances such as Oxygen, Hydrogen and Carbon (Rapidlearningcenter.com 2015). They normally have a two to one hydrogen to oxygen ratio and can be classified by the empirical formula Cm (H20)n where m and n could be possibly different. Some biologists refer to carbohydrates as hydrates of carbon and they are technically correct. Alternately, there is no possible empirical formula that can describe lipids. Lipid must be identified…

produced so that it can be dissolved into the moisture in the body is excreted. Tadpoles already live in water so this is not a problem for the ammonia is diluted right away. (The Ecology and Behavior of Amphibians, 2010) Case Study 3: Diabetes in Australia Diabetes is a complex disease that affects the pancreas’s ability to produce insulin. Insulin is the hormone that regulates blood sugar, and without it leads serious damage to the body (WHO, 2015). It is a growing issue in Australia, and…

The Effects of Concentration Changes on Porcine Pancreatic α-Amylase Activity Introduction Starch, a complex polysaccharide comprised of glucose monomers, is used as a storage compound in the plants it is found to be present in. As a result it is a renewable and biodegradable source of food for humans and many animals that devour these plants (Man et al. 2013). In 1831 a discovery was made by Erhard Leuchs that when mixed with human saliva, starch molecules are broken down into simpler…

Diet Plan To Lose Weight: DIET PLAN: Consume juice from raw fruits and vegetables, easy to digest by the body, whole the time you feel hungry, you should drink juice. Even when you are feeling thirsty, you drink juice. Drinking juice is easier than eating a whole lot of vegetables and fruits at one sitting.

It is the most widely consumed beverages in the whole world after water and have been drunk by people at the age of 25-60 years old. Every coffee is different. It has its own specialties. In this world, coffee can be divided into two main species, which are Robusta and Arabica. Between these two coffees, Robusta has the highest amount of production, around 80%, as Robusta coffee…

America is considered the fattest nation in the world. However, obesity is a disease that is sweeping the nation. 63% of Australians are overweight or obese and one in four of Australian children are overweight.(Supersize Me, 2013) Other countries such as Saudi Arabia, New Zealand, UK and Malaysia and many more have recorded an increase in the rate of obesity in their countries, especially in young children. (Fed up, 2014) See figure one below. Obesity can cause heart diseases, strokes, sleep…

(Clevers and Nusse., 2012). Regulation and degradation of CTNNB1 take place at the cellular level through phosphorylation of serine and/or threonine amino acid residues. Specific kinase proteins responsible for activation or degradation of CTNNB1, glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β) phosphorylate Ser33, Ser37 and Thr41 residues in order degrade CTNNB1. Similarly, casein kinase-1 (CK1) at Ser45 residue (Fang et al., 2007). Activation CTNNB1 happen…

The amount of diabetic patients have considerably increased worldwide throughout the past few years. Lifestyle has a high impact in developing Diabetes. Day (2002 ) states “ Keeping fit is an essential aspect of maintaining good control of diabetes”( page 190 ). Exercise is essential for people with Diabetes to achieve better blood glucose control.

All of the 21 stages total up to a staggering 3229 km, meaning preparation, training and nutritional requirements are key components if a cyclist is set on…

Research Question This lab will be driven by the research question, do changes in temperature (4oC, 25oC, 37oC, 50oC and 70oC) have an effect on the reaction rate of enzyme amylase and starch? Hypothesis As the temperature increases, the enzyme will have a quicker reaction time with the starch, therefore when met with the iodine, no change will occur in the colour of the solution, showing that the starch is now absent. The enzyme amylase and starch solution in 4oC and 25oC will change the colour…
