of enzyme activity. Justification: Any agent that interferes with enzyme activity is an inhibitor. Inhibitors can affect the catalysis and/or the binding of enzymes to substrate. Malonate is an inhibitor of SDH primarily because of its shape and function, as the shape is similar to that of succinate (Clark, 2009). Malonate binds at the same active site as succinate, thus competing with SDH, and therefore inhibiting a reaction, as the enzyme cannot act further once bound with malonate (Clark,…
cold temperatures. The goldfish in this experiment used the first strategy, which is to slow down their metabolism. By slowing down their metabolism the need for oxygen and food is decreased, which allows for them to breathe at slower rates. In the graph it is shown by fish one and three that as the temperature…
There are many levels of education; furthermore some are generally more lucrative than others. Money enables one to purchase needs and wants, since some levels of education on average pay higher than others, as a result those who have higher educations will be able to purchase more needs and wants, consequently leading to a higher quality of life. Research is going to show that there is a strong positive relationship between education and quality of life. Quality of life was used over income as…
however, a new study shows that it may make long term changes to the brain. The new study is conducted by Emory University. They are observing how the function and structure of the brain changes over the course of reading a novel. The researchers sent 21 undergraduates for fMRIs over 19 days. Results showed an improvement in the brain function and structure at the end of the 19 day study. According to “The Act of Reading has Powerful Positive Effects for…
Q-1. Describe the function of hemoglobin in blood and describe how pH can affect the function of hemoglobin and the amount of oxygen in blood. Be sure to relate the lab results you obtained to this discussion. Hemoglobin’s main function is to carry oxygen throughout the human body. As the oxygen molecule is dissolved in the blood it combines with hemoglobin forming oxyhemoglobin. Oxygen released from oxyhemoglobin increases as the blood pH levels decreases. Deoxyhemoglobin can also bind to the…
are $2375, which includes rent and utilities. With that information, a cost function of C(x)=60x+2375, where x is the quantity of units, can be used to determine the monthly cost of running the business. The Price-Demand equation for my hypothetical company is x=f(x)=8500-25p. Using this equation, I can find the feasible range of products that I can sell in one months’ time. Obviously, 0 is the lower bound of the function because I cannot sell less than 0 products. The upper bound is 8500 which…
Plugging an X and Y value to show the data on a graph, which calculated the density and that gave the team a better understanding to the procedure. Then, the team began the first experiment with the boiling point of pentane. The team started collecting all of the data to solve the problems, such as having…
Vitiligo is a condition in which cells that produce skin color melanocytes no longer function properly. Some cells mysteriously stop working and others are attacked by the immune system. Vitiligo is caused by loss of pigment in the skin due to destruction of pigment forming cells. This disease will cause you to develop multiple patches of white skin. When someone notices they have white patches in areas where skin is most exposed that could be a sign of vitiligo. These patches can appear on the…
have restrictions. Australia is an ageing population and as you can see from this graph people are living longer, this means that there are lots of older drivers on our roads. A study in Queensland found that the accidents caused by older drivers could be due to a range of age-related declines like deterioration in sensory, cognitive and motor abilities, medical and neurological conditions. As you can see on this graph, due to this decline, older drivers are at a much higher risk of crashing,…
Review of the mathematical paper Introduction The article that is reviewed today is “An introduction to mathematics of HIV/Aids modelling” by Leigh Johnson published in 2004 for Centre of Actuarial Research for University of Cape Town, South Africa. The article provides an introduction to modelling HIV/Aids transmission as well as survival and focuses on children who lost their parents due to HIV/Aids called orphans. The lack of proper Introduction to the article isn’t easily allowing the…
