Next, we completed tests 1 and 2 wich was basically to oibserve the structural characteristics of the plants and seeds through a microscope . Then we came up with an hypothesis for wich species would be most closely related to the botana curus. Thirdly, we looked at the slides and comapared the arrangements of the bundles. Next we completed test four wich had to do with the chromatography paper and sepperating the different colored pigmentsfor each plant. Then, we did test five wich tested the plants for a fizz to check if they have enzyme M. Test six was the simulated gel electrophoresis that would compare the DNA. Lastly, we changed the sequence of DNA code to make amino acid to understand our…
Prior to injecting the neurotoxin, Tubocurare, inside the gastrocnemius muscle, a control was established. The baseline was maintained approximately at 20 grams. The control used the maximum voltage of 0.75 volts for the stimulus input. As a result, the tension produced 68.13 grams of force. The moment Tubocurare was infused into the gastrocnemius muscle, the muscle tension dropped to 47.7 grams of force. Data was recorded for 10 minutes, and as predicted prior to the experiment, the tension trend decreased gradually. After stopping the injection, at the tenth second mark was where the maximum tension was recorded. It was found to be at 43.58 grams.…

Botox is a natural neurotoxin that naturally has an affinity and attraction to target the neuromuscular junction when it is injected into anima (Merchand-Pauvert, V. et. al, (2012)). The neuromuscular junction is a specialized type of synapse formed between the muscle cells and neurons. Because of the Botox, when it is injected it causes a disturbance between the synapses. Botulinum neurotoxin A works by preventing the release of a neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, from the neurotransmitter junction, which does not allow the signal to travel pass through to be converted back into an electrical signal (Alberts, 2010).…

The non-structural protein 4 of the rotavirus toxin has been shown to be released very early during infection 34, first as a cleavage product comprising the toxic region released from the infected cells, beginning 4 hours after infection 82 and Later during infection as a non-structural glycosylated protein 4 18. Virus that binds to the cell surface by VP4 or the VP8 cleavage product 75. The conformational change is protease-dependent, with VP4 being cleaved in VP8 and VP5 75. Rotavirus has a tropism for mature enterocytes, but the exact receptor for viral binding in vivo has not yet been identified, although sialic acid, integrins 33, histo-blood group antigens and toll receivers have been proposed 1181. Cell initiation by receptor-mediated endocytosis occurs through VP5, indicating that excision of VP4 in VP5 and VP8 is required 77. Calcium-dependent endocytosis was also demonstrated, and non-clathrin, non-caveolin dependent endocytosis provides the virion to the early…
Botulism is a rare but very serious paralytic illness that is caused by botulinum toxin(potentially deadly neurotoxin) which is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. The botulinum toxin can enter the body in 3 main ways: by the ingestion of the toxin from eating foods that contain the botulism toxin (food borne botulism), by the contamination of a wound by the bacterium in which the toxin is produced (wound botulism) and Infant botulism which is caused by consuming the spores of the botulinum bacteria, which then grow in the intestines and release the toxin. The powerful exotoxin (botulinum toxin) leads to secretory diarrhea. All forms of botulism can be fatal and are therefore considered to be medical emergencies. Food borne botulism can be very dangerous because there is not a single person at risk but instead many people can be poisoned by the consumption of contaminated food.…
As an electrical impulse travels down the extension of the cell, called the axon and arrives at its terminal, it triggers vesicles containing a neurotransmitter to move toward the terminal membrane. The vesicles fuse with the terminal membrane to release their contents. Once inside the synaptic cleft, the space between the two neurons, the neurotransmitter can bind to receptors on the membrane of a bordering neuron.…
