Sucrose

Throughout the semester in the microbiology lab we have been taught how to conduct multiple experiments to identify microorganisms. Many of these experiments can be used on all different types of microorganisms but cumulatively they can help isolate a singular microorganism’s identity. At the beginning of the semester we were divided into several groups and were assigned an unknown of which we were tasked with identifying. Being assigned number 14 as our unknown, my group consisting of…

protein. During the fermentation process usually do not generate reek and usually produced carbon dioxide gas, but marked by hydrogen sulfide gas (Desrosier, 1998) Alcoholic Fermentation is when sugars say for instance glucose, fructose, and sucrose are converted into cellular energy and then it produces alcoholic and carbon dioxide as metabolic waste materials. Yeasts can carry out alcoholic…

Fig. 3. Stages of ovarian development in female Q-fly. Stage 1 and 2 represent previtellogenesis development. Stage 3 marks the initiation of vitellogenesis, and Stage 4 indicates late vitellogenesis. Stage 5 ovarian follicles had mature eggs. Stages 1 and 2 are previtellogenic, while stages 3–4 represent the vitellogenic phase. Flies were assigned to stage 5 if the most advanced ovarian follicles had mature eggs. We did not observe stage 6, which is defined by a yellow residual follicular…

patients with any of the following conditions should not use stimulants as a treatment: history of alcoholism/substance abuse, anxiety, arteriosclerosis, cardiac disease, glaucoma, allergies (to methylphenidate, amphetamine or fructose/glucose/galactose/sucrose intolerance or deficiencies), hyperthyroidism or Tourette’s syndrome.16 The prognosis for ADHD is commonly very positive. Although no cure exists for ADHD, those affected can take advantage of the wide range of treatments including:…

What has caused the dramatic rise in overweight and obese children in the United States within recent years? (http://hubpages.com/literature/100-Cause-and-Effect-Essay-Topics) Could it be the invention discovered in the early seventies, called high fructose corn syrup? Could it be Americans just do not know how much sugar they ingest on a daily basis? Could it be because parents lack the basic knowledge required to feed their children nutritional substance? Research estimates that fifteen…

30 µl measurements of 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6 and 20 mg/ml were added into their own sample of the 3 ml Bradford Assay, 30 µl of water was added to a separate sample of Bradford Assay and 30 µl of the dilute liver homogenate was added to its own sample of Bradford Assay and left for 3 minutes. The absorbance of the standards and the diluted homogenate samples were recorded to create a standard curve. From this equation, the protein concentration of my sample was determined. Class averages were also…

I believe that it is possible for human life to be meaningful. I have this way of thinking because embracing our values can bring meaning to our lives, if we truly embrace them (Rachels, 2012, p. 173). Having personal relationships that are meaningful can also add a sense of happiness to our lives. There is nothing more worthwhile then having people that reciprocate your love. Therefore, family and friends are essential. In addition to this, a meaningful life can be one in which you are proud…

a) Industrial Revolution/pg. 149: the third social revolution, occurring when machines powered by fuels replaced most animals and human power. The Industrial Revolution was the start in how society views manufacturing and production as a standard in efficiency. As the evolution of production progressed it introduced innovative machines with new technologies, people have changed roles in the production line. We now have highly mechanized assembly lines in which machines take the brunt of the…

2.8.4 Properties The application of carrageenan as food additive depends on its performance such as forming thick solution or gels. For example, κ− carrageenan forms strong and rigid gels with potassium salts, forms brittle gels with calcium salts, clears gel with sugar addition, and exhibits syneresis. On the other hand, ι− carrageenan forms elastic gels with calcium salts, clears gel with no syneresis, and creates a gel that is freeze/thaw stable, while λ− carrageenan is not gel-forming but…

Permitting Genetically Modified Organisms The brilliant inventor Thomas Edison once said “Until a man duplicates a blade of grass, Nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge” (qtd. in Sack). Man cannot yet replicate a blade of grass, but can modify organisms to enhance their nutritional output. In a recent report it was unveiled that the “181.5 million hectares of gmos were planted in 2014” (James). However this should pose no concern because the Environmental Protection Agency…
