Teras Organic Whey Protein What is Whey Protein? Milk can be broken down into two main proteins, casein and whey. Whey can be separated from milk and is considered a byproduct of cheese production. Whey is a complete protein because it has 9 amino acids that are essential to us because we cannot naturally produce these amino acids. Additionally, whey comes with a low lactose content which allows people with milk lactose intolerances to still be able to enjoy whey protein. What Can Whey Protein…

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell that act like a digestive system which consumes nutrients, breaks them down, and manufactures energy for the cell. This chemical processes of the cell is known as cellular respiration (1). Most of cellular respiration happens in the mitochondria. Mitochondria typically float around free throughout the cell. Some cells have hundreds of mitochondria, like muscle cells, while others have little to none, like nNeurons (1). The quantity of mitochondria a…

The test on Taco Bell's meat mix was tested and it was found that about 15% of it was protein. That might not sound like a lot, but for ground beef, it’s right around normal. That is because ground beef is mainly composed of water and fat so that percentage of protein is normal. However, that’s not all that was tested. There were some ingredients that were found in the meat that you would not find in your supermarket meat. One such ingredient is soy lecithin. That is a binding agent so without…

Steroids; should we bring them back into sports? As many as 500,000 teenagers have experimented with steroids and think that it is the only way to become a professional athlete (¨Do Teens Use¨). Steroids scientifically known as anabolic steroids is a man made hormone that helps tissue grow. Unfortunately, they are abused by athletes to make them stronger and faster, and have critical side effects which include stunting teenagers growth (¨Merriam-Webster¨). According to procon.org, those who…

After performing this procedure, we obtain a clear definition and view of respiration, in addition to the production of carbon dioxide in organisms from two different kingdoms.A big difference existed betweem the production of carbon dioxide among each creature and that was clearly noticeable in our data.Animals rely heavily on oxygen gas which is the product outcome of Photosynthesis. In the other hand, plants need carbon dioxide and on this experiment the production of carbon dioxide lacked,…

alternatives to synthetic growth hormones The Fastest Trick to Gain Muscle Mass For some people increasing muscle mass is easy, whereas some have to strive harder to increase the muscle definition. You are working 3 to 4 times in a week; you are seriously doing all your exercise mentioned in your training schedule. On the contrary, you are getting slow gains or no gains at all. Whatever the case is, it will make you frustrated and search for different things on the Internet. This is the time…

The scientist’s want to see if certain sugars affect the amount of fermentation caused by yeast. The problem statement is; in which of these sugars, monosaccharides, disaccharides, or polysaccharides, will fermentation by yeast occur the best? The independent variable is the variables the scientists can control, so the scientists decided to use certain sugars, such as dextrose, maltose, and lactose being the IVs (Independent variables). The scientist’s Dependent Variable (DV) is the outcome of…

The knowledge that most people have on steroids and everything that occurs when using them may lack. While researching, it was interesting to learn about all the different information on steroids. However, to fully understand what they are and what happens to the body, more material is needed. The topic of steroids and the effects they have on the human body is an incredible topic, for instance, what steroids are and how they work, if they cause addiction and abuse, teenage trends and…

The study encompasses two experiments involving the effects of secondary metabolites from floral nectar in Bombus impatiens. The first part of the experiment entails infecting the 539 bumblebees with the intestinal parasite Crithidia bombi and feeding them a diet of sucrose and one of eight secondary metabolites. After analyzing cell counts it was found that four of the secondary metabolites, including anabasine, nicotine, catapol and thymol, reduced the levels of infection by 61-81%. The most…

1.)During the lab and based on recorded observations it can be deduced that the enzyme catalase found in potatoes only reacted to hydrogen peroxide. This is do to the fact that before 10 ml of hydrogen peroxide was added to each test tube residing 3 potato samples and the designated liquid, no reaction was observed. Thus demonstrating the catalase's inability to react to vinegar, soda, water, detergent, and Na OH. Furthermore, shortly after the hydrogen peroxide was added to the liquids of…
