Lab Report Factors That Affect Enzymes Reaction Rate Name of lab: Effects of temperature‚ pH‚ Enzyme Concentration‚ and Substrate Concentration on Enzymatic Activity Introduction: Enzymes are the most important types of proteins‚ they act as catalysis (speed up chemical reactions). If enzymes didn’t exist‚ biochemical reactions would act to slowly and they couldn’t keep up with the metabolic functions. Enzymes have a three-dimensional structure that is really complex. This structure consists

ATP and its Role in Living Organisms An exemplary biology essay ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is vital to living organisms. It acts as a short-term store of energy in a cell‚ carrying it from where it is synthesised (e.g. the mitochondria) to where it is needed for biological processes. It is well suited to this job for the following reasons: it is small and soluble (and so can be easily transported around a cell); it is easily broken down to release energy; it can transfer energy to other molecules;

Resting metabolic rate can vary with age independently from body mass changes in the Colorado potato beetle‚ Leptinotarsa decemlineata. Abstract A study was done by Saija Pironine‚ leena Lindstrom‚ and Anne Lyytinen in the Journal of Insect Physiology‚ to investigate the age dependence of resting metabolic rate in Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsadecemlineata) from adult emergence until age 10 days. In their hypothesis they expected to see a bell shaped pattern in metabolic rate with adult age

BUILDING DEFECTS PART 1 • Identify common building defects • Identify the source • Provide pictures‚ diagrams and sketches • Suggest remedial action • Show details that would have avoided the defect PART 2 Generate a scheme for planned maintenance and provide a building checklist to ensure all necessary maintenance is carried out on a regular basis. INTRODUCTION In this project we will be looking at many different kinds of building defects that would be commonly seen in the construction

Most industries produce some wet waste although recent trends in the developed world have been to minimise such production or recycle such waste within the production process. However‚ many industries remain dependent on processes that produce wastewaters. Effluent Treatment Plants Many organigation offer a wide range of industrial effluent treatment plants for application in

Metabolic syndrome consists of multiple interrelated risk factors which directly promote the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).The risk factors include atherogenic dyslipidemia‚elevated plasma glucose‚elevated blood pressure‚proinflammatory and prothromboticstate(1). Prevalence of metabolic syndrome in world population was estimated to be around 20-25%.patients with metabolic syndrome are twice likely to die from Cerebrovascular accident and myocardial infarction.patients

Just Keep Swimming: A Parents’ Guide to Craniofacial Defect Remember how Nemo hated his smaller right fin because he looks different from the others? But Marlin‚ his father‚ assured him that he would never let anything bad happen to Nemo. You have probably heard that every child is a gift. What if your gift comes out a little bit different? How do you deal with it? Being a parent is a challenging role‚ you wish children could come with a manual attached to them‚ but no they don’t. But do not fret;

Metabolic syndrome Insulin resistance syndrome; Syndrome X Last reviewed: June 2‚ 2012. Metabolic syndrome is a name for a group of risk factors that occur together and increase the risk for coronary artery disease‚ stroke‚ and type 2 diabetes. Causes‚ incidence‚ and risk factors Metabolic syndrome is becoming more and more common in the United States. Researchers are not sure whether the syndrome is due to one single cause‚ but all of the risks for the syndrome are related to obesity. The

Birth defects‚ or congenital malformations‚ are the faulty formation of structures or body parts present at birth. Sporadic‚ hereditary‚ or acquired defects may be immediately observed or may become manifest later in life; they may be visible on the body surface or present internally. Birth defects may be life threatening and require surgical correction‚ or they may interfere with function or appearance. It is estimated that about 3% of all children are born with major defects; minor defects
