guidance in a range of areas. 2. How do your consumer (buying) choices affect biodiversity? Response: Most of our household purchases include organic or phosphate free products. Intentions to create a healthier environment are on-going. However, after writing about the phosphorous cycle, the next effort toward reducing nutrient pollution is phosphate free fertilizer for the yard. In all, our consumer buying choices consider biodiversity when knowledge about these issues surface.…
In this lab we will be testing the water quality of the Lewis and Clark Lake. We will be testing to see if the water is good quality and good for the fish and creatures that need that water to live. The first step is to extract the water from the lake and analyze the way it looks. We should write down the description of the water. The second step is to take it to the lab to test the water for pollutants and to test the quality of the water. Ph. is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration of…
The ingredients listed underneath “cheese blend” are whey, milk fat, milk protein concentrate, salt, sodium tripolyphosphate, citric acid, lactic acid, sodium phosphate, yellow 5, yellow 6, cheese culture, and enzymes. Whey is a protein. It is good for your body, especially if you are lactose intolerant. Whey is made from the watery portion of milk that is separated from curds when making cheese. It is mostly used as a protein supplement. Whey is considered likely safe in children and adults…
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…

Franceis Gilsson was said to be one of the first to discover Rickets. Gilsson had a very popular reputation as he aged, attending the college of Caius, Cambridge in 1617. In 1648 while living in London he became very active in the affairs of collage of physicians, holding the titles of the posts of censor, councilor, and president. After arriving in London he became a member of a group of doctors and scientist who met up weekly to discuss natural and experimental philosophy. With the help of…
Dasani and tap water. Fiji water had the highest chlorine content, double that of tap water. Tap water and Dasani water had higher alkaline than the Fiji water. The tap water rated highest on the phosphate content test followed by Dasani with half as much phosphates followed by Fiji having the lowest phosphates. The iron test showed all three samples with small amounts of iron. Fiji water had the highest pH levels followed by tap water than Dasani bottled water. Discussion: My original…
α-FePO4 & β-FePO4 Firstly, the crystal structures of the alpha and beta Iron Phosphate can be identified from the paper. The lower temperature form, α-FePO4, has the space group P3121, while the higher temperature form β-FePO4, has the space group: P6422. These space groups translates to the lattice symmetry of trigonal and hexagonal respectively. The two space groups are chiral. α-FePO4 is the main form of Iron Phosphate in room temperature since the transformation to β-FePO4 only takes place…
Adenine and Guanine are Purines as they have a double ring structure whereas Cytosine and Thymine are Pyrimidines as they have a single ring structure. These bases, attached to the sugar-phosphate back bone of both strands, join adjacently in a complimentary fashion. This means that a purine will bind to a pyrimidine therefore Adenine always binds with Thymine, which forms two hydrogen bonds, and Guanine always binds with Cytosine, which forms…
is a nucleic acid present in organisms with the primary function of providing energy. It is comprised of three phosphate groups with one adenosine attached and releases energy by being hydrolysed into Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP), therefore one bond is broken and a phosphate molecule is lost. ATP can only be reproduced through phosphorylation which results in the addition of one phosphate to Adenosine Diphosphate. ATP must be regenerated in order to allow an organism to function correctly and…
