Timothy England was a 17 year African American who recently moved to Alpine Timothy was one of those young men who had a terrible upbringing without any role models or mentors. He grew up with adults who thought the only way to be successful or to survive was to become a criminal. Although surrounded by negative forces, he still wanted to rise above the stereotypical perceptions. At the age of 6 Mr England father died from rear type cancer and left his mother to raise three children with $20,000…

from previous experiments to determine the concentration of the MBP-AP and WT-AP protein samples. Results of experiments showed that the SDS-PAGE gel yielded expect bands and the approximate molecular weight of wild type alkaline phosphatase and maltose binding protein-alkaline phosphatase is 49 kDa and 95 kDa, respectively. Additionally, the concentrations of MBP-AP Elution 1 protein and WT-AP Stage 4 are 0.278 mg/mL and 0.582 mg/mL, respectively. Introduction To determine the purity of a…

Monosaccharides are the unmistakable sugars. Two monosaccharides make a disaccharide. Three or more monosaccharides are a polysaccharide. Glucose, fructose, and galactose are monosaccharides. Sucrose, lactose, and maltose are disaccharides. Starch and glycogen are polysaccharides. Focal sugars can be found by using Benedict's test. Proteins are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and now and again sulfur. Proteins are covalently kept up in chains as polymers…

Scientists use different types of nutrient agar media to help with the study of microorganisms. The purpose of this experiment was to examine the different growths of minority organisms within a variety of media cultures. These cultures included types of selective, differential, and enriched media and were applied to split sections on the agar plate. Each of the four broth cultures: Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Streptococcus faecalis showed observable…

Enzymes are found in all living organisms. They are present to speed up or accelerate a chemical reaction; referred to as a catalyst in a chemical reaction. They are essential to obtain rates to sustain life as without enzymes rates would be too slow to provide for life. Molecules at the start of the process are called substrates, the enzyme will then convert these into changed molecules which are called products, after this process the enzymes maintains the same shape. (Berg et al. 2002).…

The lab we conducted involved a process called the Maillard Reaction. When it comes to cooking meats, heating the food causes the proteins, especially those nearest the surface of the meat, to denature. These denatured proteins become more chemically reactive to other molecules in their environment. One of the primary reactions that occur when browning meats and many other foods is called the Maillard Reaction. The Maillard Reaction is a non-enzymatic chemical reaction between amino acids and…

Food security is concerned primarily with ensuring adequate food supply for all and most importantly; it also involves the ability of persons to access nutritional food improving diets and decreasing diseases often associated with poor diets and malnutrition. According to the Committee on World Food Security (CFS), “Food security exists when all People, at all times, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food…

Scicurious, High Fructose Corn Syrup: Much Maligned? Or the Devil’s Food Cake?, August 23, 2011, Fructose is a yellowish white crystallized, water soluble ketonic monosaccharide sugar found in many plants, C6H12O6. It is sweeter than sucrose and often bonded to glucose to form the disaccharide sucrose. Triglyceride is a type of fat (lipid) found in the blood. When we eat, our body convert any calories that doesn’t need to use right away into triglycerides. Triglycerides are stored in the fat…

sciuri, and S. simulans. A negative Oxidase result is eliminated M. kristinae and S. xylosus. A negative Urea hydrolysis is eliminated S. cohnii subsp.2, S. epidermidis, S. hominis, S. saprophyticus, S. warneri, and S. xylosus. And then, a positive Maltose result is eliminated S. capitis, S. carnosus, and S.…

geographic isolation, a scientist named Diane Dodd conducted an experiment involving fruit flies (evolution.berkeley.edu) Diane took a single species of fruit fly, and put them in two separate tanks. In each tank she placed a different food source, maltose in one, and starch in the other. Once the flies in each tank began to mate and produce several…
