What four elements make up 96% of all living matter? _________________________________________ Concept 2.2 An element’s properties depend on the structure of its atoms 2. Below is a model of an atom of helium, correctly label the electrons, protons, neutrons, and atomic nucleus. 3. What is the atomic number of helium? _________ Its atomic mass? ________ 4. Consider this entry in the periodic table for carbon. What is the atomic mass? ______ atomic number? _______ How many…
Biochemical foundation for each of the four enzymatic assays performed on each cellular fraction. We performed various assays on each of the four log phase culture fractions, as well as the extracellular fraction from a stationary phase culture, to test the localization of the enzymes. For the protease assay, a specific soluble chromogenic substrate called azocasein was employed to determine presence of enzyme activity. The degradation of this substrate in trichloroacetic acid produces a colour…
looking at the sizes of the cranium in figure 6 and figure 8 shows a graph of brain size against body size for a variety of animals. Figure 8. Graph showing the relationship between brain and body size for a variety of animals. Note that the scales are logarithmic (Graph from Dunbar [Dunbar, 1996]). Progressive and increasingly efficient development of gestational processes Mammals are generally characterised by specialised gestational mechanisms that lead to the birth of live offspring. This…
