DNA Assignment Keshia Yeates BIOLOGY 4U 1. DNA molecule with a length of 2m can fit inside a nucleus that is invisible by the naked eye by coiling around itself several times. It continues to coil even more (Supercoiling)‚ arranging itself on histones‚ which are proteins. 2. Nitrogen bases determine the traits of living organisms by coding the 20 amino acids. The order of the amino acids determines what protein is made; therefore‚ proteins are the makeup of all living organisms. Proteins regulate

Enzymes are biological catalysts or assistants that consist of various types of proteins that work to drive the chemical reaction required for a specific action or nutrient. They can either launch a reaction or speed it up. Catalase is a common enzyme found in nearly all living organisms exposed to oxygen. It is a very important enzyme in protecting the cell from oxidative damage by reactive oxygen species (ROS). The catalase used in this experiment will come from five different sources: Spinacia

tibialis mass compared to both the wheel exposed and non-wheel exposed mice. In addition‚ results show that the “mini-muscle” mice showed the greatest hexokinase and citrate synthase enzyme activities than the selected and control group mice. The selected mice displayed greater hexokinase and citrate synthase enzyme activities than the control. Furthermore‚ the “mini-muscle” mice only showed the presence of type IIA+IID muscle fibers in tibialis whereas the selected and control group mice showed

There are approximately 40‚000 enzymes living in one human cell‚ each responsible for a chemical reaction. Enzymes are complex 3D protein molecules created by amino acids‚ forming a unique sequence that produces hydrogen bonds‚ eventually formulating an enzyme within plants and animals (Boyle & Senior‚ 2002). Working alongside other molecules‚ they uphold a stable reaction system. The function of an enzyme is to aid and increase chemical reactions and organise metabolism‚ while maintaining homeostasis

DNA TECHNOLOGY How is DNA technology used in law enforcement? There are many different ways it is used‚ but it is mostly used to solve crimes. Much like deaths‚ rapes‚ or even big robberies. DNA is a way to identify a person by: blood‚ hair‚ skin‚ saliva etc... That is why when people are trying to discover a murderer they are very careful when they are collecting evidence.That is why when something occurs‚ everything is blocked off‚ and only investigators could pass into the area

Independent Variable A mutation on the enzyme that hinders its ability (Trail 2) -To tape the index fingers and thumb. A increase in the enzyme’s strength (Trail 3) -To break two toothpicks at a time. Dependent Variables The number of toothpicks broken. The reaction Procedure 1. Gather 50 toothpicks. 2. Place them in a pile on the table. 3. Choose one member of your group of 4 to break the toothpicks. They are the one and only "enzyme". 4. Using the "enzyme’s" thumb and index

milk Introduction Enzymes are globular protein‚ responsible for most of the chemical activities of living organisms. They are made up of long chains of amino acids containing carbon‚ hydrogen‚ oxygen and nitrogen (Gunsch‚ 2012). The role of enzyme is to act as catalysts‚ substances that speed up chemical reactions without being chemically altered during the process. The speeding up of chemical reactions is done by lowering the activation energy required to start a reaction. Enzymes are specific in

Arnesh Kaewloyma 9/30/14 Enzyme Catalase under optimum conditions‚ speeds up the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide The students have studied that Hydrogen peroxide is a jeopardy to metabolism if it’s not obliterated. Enzymes are proteins produced by living cells of that act as catalysts which affects the rate of biochemical reaction by speeds up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas. The students have formed a hypothesis toward this experiment. If the speed of

Erin Gaudet SCI-220-01 Title: Hair Lab Object: Analyze hair samples Procedure: Same as in lab handout Results: See attached data sheet Conclusion: This type of lab analysis is important to the field of forensic science because you could link a person to a crime. The removal of hair from the body often denotes physical contact between a victim and perpetrator and hence a crime of a serious or violent nature. Forensic scientists would find this lab useful because they would be able to determine
