Lignocellulosic-based biomass Unlike starch, lignocellulosic biomass is a plant-based material composed of lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose. This class of biomass includes wood and fibrous materials from organic sources, agricultural wastes, organic municipal wastes, and organic industrial wastes [18]. Agricultural wastes contribute as the major lignocellulosic resources investigated for biofuel production. Among them are oil palm biomass [19,20], corn stalk [21], rice straw [22], wheat…

In the novel The Chrysalids by John Wyndham, there are many examples of how hypocrisy, bigotry and ignorance are evident in David’s society. People in Waknuk, including the main character, David, are ignorant to the world around them. Through the first few chapters of the novel, David is a prime example of ignorance, being so young and having a lack of knowledge on what Deviations are actually like. Bigotry is also evident in the Waknuk society, and Joseph Strorm is a prime example of that.…

The Arabidopsis thaliana, world’s most widely known and used plant model organism today, yet what Characteristics caught scientists attention and why was this small flowering plant chosen. Also under what circumstance had it preserved through that allowed it to be crowned the title model organism. Arabidopsis first interested scientists as a self-pollinating plant that would completes its life cycle within 6 weeks, alongside the characteristic of the smaller genome size (1.2 × 108 bp) than…

Oratory Rough Draft “Heroes are made by the paths they choose, not the powers they are graced with.”- Brodi Ashton. Spider man was bitten by a mutant spider that gave him superhuman abilities, but being a hero doesn’t require astonishing powers. Real life heroes find something they are passionate about and pursue it. To accomplish your goal and be a hero requires courage, compassion and selflessness. One trait that is critical to a hero’s character is courage. Everyday people exemplify…

change in lambda phage plaque color.) They were plated for plaque formation at two temperatures. The mutant phage was stored at 24o C and 37oC. They were stored at two temperatures because the cll mutant phage will only form plaques at the first temperature while all phages will form plaques at the second mentioned temperature. The mutation frequency was then calculated by dividing the number of mutant plaques by the total number of plaques. The transgenic rodent mutation assay allows the lambda…

INTRODUCTION Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by memory loss and dementia. The neurodegeneration is due to a formation of amyloid platelets in the brain that interrupt the normal function of it. It worsen with the pass of years and is mostly suffered by older people (Reece et al. 2014). The platelets composed by Amyloid; a harmful insoluble protein fibril which is produced by Amyloid precursor protein (APP). APP is processed in the membrane of neurons…

disease will be discussed in reference to the biology behind the faulty HTT gene, the signs and symptoms associated with the disease, along with coping mechanisms and outcomes for those suffering from the disorder. To begin, we will discuss the mutant HTT gene that causes Huntington’s disease. This was first discovered by George Huntington, a 22-year-old American doctor who began with writing a paper called On Chorea in 1872 where Huntington’s chorea (more commonly…

Before leaving for school, I sit down and turn on my favorite show, Spongebob Squarepants. In this episode, Spongebob is being bullied, an incident that many students like me and my friends can relate to, at Boating School by a larger fish named Flatts. Annoyed and frustrated, Spongebob lets the bully have his way, and since he is a sponge, the bully’s physical abuse doesn’t affect him, the bully becoming tired and run-down. During the whole episode, Spongebob stays strong which teaches the…

is more extensive and that of the female occurs only in the dorsal region. Males have black bristles (sex combs) on each of the front legs, but females have none. The wild type drosophila has red eyes, long normal wings, and gray in color. The mutant type drosophila has white or sepia eye, vestigial or apterous wings, and ebony body color. (Morgan, 1910) For the monohybrid cross, we were trying to determine if eye color was sex linked inherited so we proposed that males should have more white…

one of the genes (Russell, 1996). Another name for Dichaete is fish-hook (symbol: fish). An experiment was performed in where the expression of two key developmental regulators, wingless (wg) and engrailed (en), was examined in fish (or Dichaete) mutant clones. It was discovered that the fish function is required for wg expression in the larval developmental stages. On the other hand, the loss of fish function is related to analyzed defects in the en expression. This study shows that these three…
