Objectives After studying this Unit‚ you will be able to • define the biomolecules like carbohydrates‚ proteins and nucleic acids; • classify carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ nucleic acids and vitamins on the basis of their structures; • explain the difference between DNA and RNA; • appreciate the role of biomolecules in biosystem. Biomolecules “It is the harmonious and synchronous progress of chemical reactions in body which leads to life”. 14 Unit A living system grows‚ sustains and reproduces

thus‚ the gene carried by the plasmid is “cloned” (Brown‚ 2006; Lodish et al.‚ 2000). Furthermore‚ the transformed bacterial host cells may have the ability to express the gene‚ thus producing proteins encoded by the gene included in the recombinant plasmid. This application can be used for producing proteins in large quantities which can be purified further‚ as is done for the production of recombinant insulin. Also‚ plasmids could be used in gene therapy‚ for delivery of therapeutic gene of interest

Abstract Ataxia-telangiectasia is an inherited disease related to an autosomal recessive trait. This means that both parents must provide a defective gene for the child to have symptoms of the disorder. The disease results from defects in the ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene. Defects in this gene can lead to abnormal cell death in various places of the body‚ including the part of the brain that helps coordinate movement. During development boys and girls are equally affected. Symptoms

The effect of environmental factors such as temperature‚ osmotic pressure‚ oxygen concentration and pH on microbial growth and survival Abstract: Microbial growth can be affected by different environmental factors such as temperature‚ osmotic pressure‚ oxygen concentration and pH. Six experiments were carried out in this report testing for microbial growth against different environmental factors. Good aseptic techniques were used to prevent contamination‚ resulting in a uniform set of results

Introduction Plants are some of the most important organisms on earth. They perform a multitude of services that keep ecosystem functioning. Plants provide us with food‚ medicine‚ and they perform photosynthesis which converts carbon dioxide into oxygen and in so doing remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere‚ provide us with many everyday products and are very beautiful to look at. (Morgan 2009) Plants provide us with energy through food Food provides humans with energy that allows us to

Jared Diamond Jared Diamond was a professor at UCLA in Los Angeles. He was a biologist by training‚ and a specialist in human physiology. But his real passion has always been the study of birds. He began watching the birds when he was about seven years old in the United States. He arrived in New Guinea at the age of 26 and he felt that it was love at first sight. Diamond started to make regular trips to New Guinea and ever since‚ he decides to be the leading expert on the bird life of the island
