Chemical Aspects of Digestion Lab Report By Abdulelah Almutairi Animal Form and Function Lab, 03, 12:30 PM Instructor: Melanie Gustafso-Ropski – Lab Assistant: Corinna Monday March 9,2015 1. Part A • The enzyme used in this experiment is pancreatic lipase. The substrate for pancreatic lipase is lipids or triglycerides. Hydrolysis of triglycerides occurs in the duodenum and the PH rages are from 7.1 to 8.2. • Phenol red was used as a PH indicator of the samples.…

The human body is born with over two hundred fifty bones, as the body ages the bones fuse together into over two hundred bones. These bones can vary in structure and all have multiple functions depending on the location and purpose. Long bones may be positioned with other bones as a ball and socket, while flat bones can act as hard plates like the skull which acts as a case for the brain. Our nerves send messages throughout the body to do everyday functions such as walking, talking, and…

reduce cavities and not cause tooth decay. The reason for this is because the material in this sugar free gum does not include the harsh substance of streptococcus mutans, which are bacteria that break down tooth enamel. This is because the food and sucrose take an affect on the teeth causing demineralization, but when added with calcium lactate it reduces this. Many times this calcium lactate is placed in gums and also toothpastes to help diminish tooth decay. In addition gum can do stimulate…

After gram staining both the gram positive and gram-negative bacteria, the groupings were observed. For the unknown gram-positive bacteria, the cells were arranged in a cocci cluster, while in the gram-negative bacteria, the cells were arranged in a rod cluster. Both the gram negative and gram-positive bacteria exhibit a small yellow colony on the TSA plate. After 48 hours, the MSA plate was observed. Individual isolated colonies were found throughout the plate, with a yellowish color. The…

Parenteral formulation of an anticancer drug candidate – Tackling poor solubility 1 Introduction Cancer is the number one cause of death in Singapore , and has been on an increasing trend over the years . Hence, the search for anti-cancer drugs and better treatment regimens are widely studied but there are many challenges. One potential cancer treatment strategy is to induce apoptosis in cancer tissues by the modulation of nitric oxide production . Nitric oxide is a reactive, gaseous molecule…

Undergraduates (STEER) Program this summer I was assigned to work with Dr. Jongens a faculty member in the genetics department at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Our research was centered on determining if varying sucrose concentrations affected the weight, survival, and longevity of Drosophila (fruit flies) in comparison to the control flies. As a senior I am completing an independent study project on the motility of microorganisms in soil. Because my…

The Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) locomotor scale The Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) scale (numbering 0–21) is a point scale used in the analyzation of the activity of the limb joints of animals. Its locomotion rate is based on various aspects of the hind limb function like the weight support and toe clearance, just to mention a few [37]. All results were obtained at time points of 2 weeks to 8 weeks post-operation along with the blinded examination that was executed by two scorers.…

monossacharides) and polysaccharide (3 or more monossacharides). Examples of a monosaccharide is glucose, fructose, and galactose. Meanwhile, disaccharides are joined by a glycosidic linkage formed by a dehydration reaction. Examples of disaccharides are sucrose, lactose, and maltose. Lastly, a polysaccharide is a polymer of 3 or more sugars formed by a deydration reaction. Examples of polysaccharides are starch and glycogen. In this experiment, central sugars can be found by utilizing…

Respiration (Growth vs Maintenance Respiration) Plant respiration is the metabolic link between gross primary productivity and net primary productivity. It is also a large component of a plant's carbon budget; perhaps typically 50-70% of carbon assimilated in gross primary productivity is released back to the atmosphere as CO2 during subsequent plant respiration (Amthor and Baldocchi, 2001). Growth is the conversion of temporary pools of substrates such as carbohydrates and amides into new…

ABSTRACT Acinetobacter radioresistens lipase was created with rehashed sustained clump society utilizing an adjusted medium taking into account Tween 80 as the carbon source. A steady cell focus was appeared to be an essential to amplify the quantity of rehashed cycles, and a sufficient cell development rate was basic for a high lipase yield. The pH-detail bolstering was found to support cell development at a rate too high to impact the lipase creation. The DO-detail sustaining, then again,…
