Fantastic Voyage Lisa Whitfield HS 130 Anatomy and Physiology II Unit 9 Kaplan University 5/20/13 Fantastic Voyage The gastrointestinal tract starts with the mouth‚ which leads to the gullet via the stomach‚ small intestine‚ large intestine‚ and ends at the anus. In due course of the journey‚ the ingested food is broken down by both physical and chemical means to release nutrients which are absorbed into the blood stream. The ingested food is physically broken down in the mouth

right beaker? Na+/Cl-‚ Urea‚ Glucose 5. Which did not? Why? Albumin did not diffuse from the left to the right beaker. The conclusion is that Albumin is a polar substance. Polar substances have a much lower solubility in the membrane phospholipids. Certain compounds that are intermediates of metabolism are not usually allowed through the membrane‚ as they are often ionized and contain groups such as phosphate. Activity 2: Simulating Dialysis 6. What happens to the urea concentration in the

Homeostasis literally means “same state” and it refers to the process of keeping the internal body environment in a steady state‚ when the external environment is changed. The importance of this cannot be over-stressed‚ as it allows enzymes etc to be ‘fine-tuned’ to a particular set of conditions‚ and so to operate more efficiently. Much of the hormone system and autonomic nervous systems is dedicated to homeostasis‚ and their action is coordinated by the hypothalamus. In Module 2 we saw how

Melting Point Determination Identity and Purity of Solid Organic Compounds Objectives • To introduce the technique of melting point determination. • To use the concept of melting points for identification and characterization of organic compounds. • Properly fill and use a capillary melting point tube. • Determine accurate melting point ranges for a wide variety of organic substances. Introduction The melting point of a solid can easily and accurately be determined

The three trials gave the same results. The ideal data was off for Urea by one point and cholesterol that was off by 2 points

catalyses the hydrolysis of urea to form ammonia and carbon dioxide: urea + water carbon dioxide + ammonia Some fertilisers added to soils to help crop growth contain urea. Although some crop plants can absorb ammonium ions‚ most obtain their source of nitrogen as nitrate ions. The activity of urease can be measured by following the increase in pH as ammonia is produced in the reaction. A student was provided with urease extracted from bacteria and solutions of urea and two chemical inhibitors

right beaker and either the 100 MWCO or 200 MWCO membrane will remove urea from the left beaker and leave albumin If the left beaker contains NaCl‚ urea‚ and albumin‚ you can selectively remove urea by dispensing a concentration of NaCl into the right beaker equivalent to that in the left beaker and by using the 100 or 200 MWCO membrane. Albumin is too large to diffuse and there will be no net diffusion of NaCl. However‚ urea will move down its concentration gradient into the right beaker. Activity
