The biochemical importance of water Sam Ellick 13/11/2010 Water otherwise known as H2O is a necessity for life to exist. It has many unique features compared to other molecules of its size. For example solid ice is less dense than liquid ice‚ which ponds and lakes freeze from the top down. This is important in insulating the aquatic life in the winter. This essay however will be looking at why water is so important in biochemical terms. Its shape Water‚ as its formula H2O suggests‚ consists

is the area of study dealing with alien life‚ the likelihood of finding it‚ where it might be found‚ how it evolved‚ its morphology‚ its culture‚ etc. It’s a huge field that overlaps all the sciences but especially the geosciences‚ evolutionary biology‚ chemistry and bio-chemistry and astronomy. In the following report I focus on astrobiology as it applies to geology‚ or what kinds of planets‚ stars and solar systems are the most likely to play host to life in some form or another.

To observe physiological and immunological properties utilized by different species of bacteria. INTRODUCTION: Bacteria biochemical testing can determine the types and numbers in terms of colony forming units of bacteria present in a sample of different chemical. The testing could be focused on a specific type of bacteria‚ medical bacteria or a broad range of environmental bacteria

only grow physically‚ it also grows by learning. The biology of learning is very interesting and taught me what learning really is like what is does‚ when it is done‚ and how it can be done better. The brain can learn to multi-task‚ to learn better by sleeping‚ and to understand information by what type of learner we are. This essay will tell you how the brain works and some other things you need to know about learning. In the essay “The Biology of Learning”‚ Stephen Londe tells us information to

staining techniques and biochemical testing to identify an unknown bacteria using Bergey’s manual. Bergey’s manual of Systematic Bacteriology is a dichotomous key primarily used to identify a bacterial species. Biochemical tests are used to differentiate different species of bacteria. These tests are effective in determining the characteristics of the microbe being tested. Such characteristics include citrate utilization‚ gelatin hydrolysis‚ nitrate reduction‚ etc. Biochemical testing is very important

Battle of the Sciences: Dental Vs. Biochemical Engineering Deciding what I want to do for the next 60 years of my life is a pretty big step‚ especially at the young age of eighteen. Making this decision involves choosing a school that is well suited for me‚ and picking a field to major in. Fortunately‚ I have half of the process figured out. I have chosen to attend Augustana University this upcoming fall (Go Vikings!)‚ but am still undecided as to what my major will be. I have always been fascinated

The first thing that caught my eye on the Wellesley 100 was Angela Carpenter’s invented language class. My chosen major is linguistics‚ and I was excited to see an elective related to it given enough importance to be in the Wellesley 100. Not only that‚ but the approach is exactly what I hope to find in college. Part of the class is‚ after studying different already invented languages‚ creating your own. I know that 70% of college students change their major from freshman year and this is why. I
