An insight in the biophysical properties of bio macromolecules Natural biopolymers such as nucleic acids, proteins and carbohydrates are essential for life as we see it today. It is incredible to think how this vast set of molecules that are in every living thing, from bacteria to human beings, are mostly made up by six elements (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and phosphorus). These biopolymers have the properties to, from small monomers, build giant tridimensional structures with a…

Exercise 2: Observing Bacteria Cultures in Yogurt Firstly, we created an incubator using a Styrofoam cooler with a removable lid and a small hole in the top which was used for placing a 7 watt light bulb in order to maintain a Microbe growing temperature of 35-37° Celsius. We also monitored the temperature with the use of a thermometer. A teaspoon of yogurt was then placed into a clean plastic container with lid. The container was then placed in the Styrofoam incubator, which was not…

subtle hint at the protagonist’s motherhood. Looking back on her depression, Esther says that she still owns some of the gifts, which she received during her internship at the magazine. “I use the lipstick now and then, and last week I cut the plastic starfish off the sunglasses for the baby to play with.” 95 This en passant referral to motherhood can be interpreted more as a sign that the protagonist has moved on after her illness rather than a genuine clue to motherhood.

There are some types of natural cloning, those of nature displays. Some animals have massive powers of regeneration. If the body of certain starfish is cut up into its five arms, each arm will regenerate a complete individual. Another type of asexual reproduction found in all animals as well as in human beings is the formation of identical twins, triplets, and so on. Identical twins create a…

There are few things I know for certain in this world. The sky is blue, everybody dies eventually, and I am gay. My parents were way more accepting of it than I expected. After spending nearly half my life in the closet, I let it slip out one night. Bowling, of all things. You have to understand— I’m the world’s worst bowler. I can’t throw the ball down the middle of the lane to save my life. And so, after yet another toss into the gutter, I turned around and announced to my parents that…
