Bio Lab- Denaturing Proteins Period B- Ms. Dann October 8, 2014 Nick D’Ambrosio, Matt Hermann, Carly Pruitt Title: Electrophoresis and Protein Weight Objective: The objective of this experiment was to gain a further understanding of gel electrophoresis, and to determine the denatured weights of unknown proteins using SDS gel. Hypothesis: If gel electrophoresis is conducted on unknown proteins, then the molecular weight can be determined by the distance travelled through the SDS gel compared to…

One of Australia's largest growing problem is obesity. Obesity is caused by a surplus of energy or calories which are stored into the body as fat. The aim of the experiment is to test what macronutrient protein,fat,sugars,carbohydrates cause the largest increase of weight in worms. This will be done by setting up compost bins and feeding the worms food high in one macronutrient. The digestive system of worms and enzymes involved in nutrient breakdown Worms digestive system is highly…

Serious bodybuilders and athletes are constantly on the lookout for the latest legal steroids. Bodybuilding definitely isn't for the faint hearted and some aspiring musclemen forget that a legal steroid could help build ripped muscle mass fast. Everyone wants to know about the best legal steroids, the so-called high quality steroids we see for sale online. But, is it right to buy these supplements, do they work and where do you find steroids for sale? The market is flooded with legal…

Question: what is the effect caffeinated energy drinks have on both reaction time and heart rate in sports men and women? Hypothesis: Caffeine will increase the heart rate Aim: To test how caffeinated energy drinks affect the reaction time and heart rate of sports men and women. Apparatus: • Caffeinated energy drink ( Monster – sugar free ) • Ruler ( 30cm long ) • Timer ( to measure heart rate ) Method: • The test subject will have their heart rate recorded (BPM) when under no influence of…

Thiamine hydrochloride is structurally similar to thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP). TPP is a coenzyme universally present in all living systems. It catalyzes several biochemical reactions in natural systems. It was originally discovered as a required nutritional factor (vitamin) in humans by its link with the disease beriberi. Beriberi is a disease of peripheral nervous system caused by a deficiency of Vitamin B in the diet. Symptoms include pain and paralysis of extremities, emaciation, and…

Welcome fellow students and teachers today I will be discussing the medical drug know as steroids in political anabolic steroids. This drug has many good uses but it can also be used in bad ways by bad people but not all are bad some have just lost there way like the baseball star Alex Rodriguez. He was not the only one to be found with drugs in his system in fact over 104 people where found but only Mr Rodriguez confessed which helped him lose jail time. So now that you now one of the famous…

Chapter-1 Introduction Bran is a outer most layer of the cereal grain and consists of the nucellar epidermis, seed coat, pericarp and aleurone. The aleurone layer consists of heavy walled, cube shaped cells which are composed primarily of cellulose. It is low in starch and high in minerals, fat, and protein. However, due to its thick cellulosic walls, these nutrients are unavailable for digestion in monogastric species. Bran from a wide array of cereal grains have been shown to have an…

Through the course of three days we were to document what we have put into our bodies, this included carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. However, we first needed to calculate our own BMR that is based on our height, weight and age put into an equation. The equation for males is 66+(6.23 x weight) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age) and females is 655+ (4.35 x weight) + (4.7 x height in inches) -( 4.7 x age in years). It is clear that BMR for women and men are not the same, this is due to…

Demonstration of Cellular Respiration Inside Lima Beans Cells in Vitro Purpose: Cellular respiration is a series of metabolic reactions that take place in the mitochondria and produce chemical energy in the form of ATP by the breakdown of food molecules.There are three processes involved in cellular respiration; glycolysis, the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain. During this processes, glucose is oxidized by a series of redox reactions and its electrons and hydrogen ions are donated…

Now onto the fresh information, the Dehydration Synthesis process and the Macromolecules. I’ll start with the Macromolecules. These molecules are the four molecules all living things need to survive. The four molecules are Proteins, DNA, Carbohydrates, and Lipids. Each of these molecules is made of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen at the very least. Proteins have Nitrogen as an added element, and DNA has Phosphate and Nitrogen. The base structure of each molecule has a carbon skeleton. This means…
