RESPIRATORY PIGMENTS Colored‚ metal-containing proteins that combine reversibly with oxygen‚ found in the body fluids or tissues of multi-cellular invertebrate animals and microorganisms. The role of these pigments is primarily to aid in the transport of molecular oxygen. Thus they are distinguished from respiratory enzymes‚ which are concerned with the metabolic consumption of oxygen. Four distinctly colored groups of respiratory pigments exist among invertebrates: hemoglobins (purple‚ become orange-red

Chapter 1: Introduction to Human Anatomy and Physiology I. Introduction A. The interests of our earliest ancestors most likely concerned injuries and illness because healthy bodies demand little attention from their owners. B. Primitive people certainly suffered from occasional aches and pains‚ injuries‚ bleeding‚ broken bones‚ and diseases. C. Before agriculture‚ infectious diseases did not spread easily because isolated bands of people had little contact with each other. D. With agriculture

when the Gibbs Free Energy (ΔG) is negative‚ a spontaneous forward reaction is proceeding towards equilibrium thus resulting in the formation of products from reactants. During this marathon‚ ATP is the energy currency during the breakdown of macromolecules‚ more specifically the

and Enzyme Concentration on Catecholase Activity Abstract: This experiment examined the effect on how the changes in pH balance of potato juice affected the enzyme activity‚ structural stability and solubility. Introduction: Enzymes are macromolecules that allow chemical reactions to occur. They function as biological catalysts. A catalyst is a substance that is involved in‚ but not changed by or consumed in‚ a chemical reaction. The amount of energy required for a reaction to take place is

For this experiment‚ there will be an optimal point for each factor. I believe that the optimal temperature for the enzyme sucrase will be 37°C because that is the point where the temperature increases the rate of reaction to its greatest point without denaturing it. For the pH test‚ I think that the optimal pH for sucrase will be the pH of 7 because it is neutral so it won’t affect the charge in a negative or positive way. For the denaturation test‚ I think that the optimal treatment for the enzyme

Associate Program Material DNA Worksheet Answer the following in at least 100 words: 1. Describe the structure of DNA? DNA is composed of two polynucleotide strands wound together into a structure known as a double helix. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar base .Nucleotides form together creating a sugar phosphate backbone to each strand. There are three forms of DNA that differ significantly. The most common‚ B form‚ is the structure most people have heard of. It consists of the right
