The Great Metabolic Race Organisms are constantly undergoing various chemical reactions and pathways that enable for them to maintain life. These pathways are part of metabolism‚ involving catabolism (break down of organic nutrients for extraction of useful) and anabolism (energy dependent conversion of small precursor molecules in complex molecules); some of which are energy coupled to provide energy efficiency. This intermediate coupling is due to the “energy currency” within the body‚ known as

Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to determine the rate law graphically from the rate of disappearance and the x y values also the specific rate constant (k). Activation energy was also determined‚ and the effect of catalyst was evaluated in the reaction between peroxodisulphate ion S2O82-‚ and iodide ion‚ I-. S2O82-(aq) + 3 I-(aq) --> 2 SO42-(aq) + I3(aq) The general expression for the rate law‚ given this overall reaction‚ is: rate of disappearance of S2O82- = k[S2O82-]m[I-]n

Application of statistics in Pharmaceutical industry * * * Bookmark Although the advancement of medicine has prolonged and improved the life of many people over the years‚ it is important to remember that it is not an exact science. While some treatments do seem to offer a complete ’cure’ for any particular ailment universally‚ the vast majority of medicinal treatments do not. As such‚ it is important that statistics are used in medicine in order to justify the development and subsequent

Chapter 11: Cell Communication Cell-to-cell communication is essential in multicellular organisms. They must communicate to coordinate activities such as growth and development‚ and reproduction. In addition unicellular organisms communicate with each other. Signals may use light‚ or touch but we will focus on chemical signals. 1. External signals are converted to responses within the cell a. Evolution of cell signaling i. In yeast a cells and αcells both secrete chemicals
