of synthesis: 1- In pancreas: Synthesis of taurine in the mammalian pancreas occurs through the cysteine sulfinic acid pathway. First‚ in this pathway is oxidation of cysteine sulfahydryl group to sulfonic acid‚ this oxidation is catalyzed by the enzyme cysteine dioxygenase. In turn‚ cysteine sulfonic acid is decarboxylated to hypotaurine by sulfonoalanine decarboxylase. It is not well known whether hypotaurine is then enzymatically or spontaneously oxidized to taurine. 2- in CNS: Biosynthesis of

The Catalase Lab Stephen Human Anatomy & Physiology 9/30/12 Problem- How do different environments affect the reactivity of catalase? Hypothesis- If more catalase is added then more oxygen (kPa) will be produced in a faster rate because there is more catalase to react upon. If less catalase is added then less oxygen (kPa) will be produced in a slower rate because there is less catalase to react upon. Variable- Independent- Amount of Catalase (Filter Paper) Dependent- Amount of

minute. There are several points in the body where the heart rate may be taken‚ but it is read clinically at the wrist over the radial artery. Cardiac output is important because it determines one’s potentials for gas exchange and thus physical activities. Exercise over time increases one’s physical fitness. A way to measure fitness is by taking a blood pressure reading. Blood pressure is read by a device called a sphygmomanometer. Blood pressure is the force of blood moving along the elastic

Formal Scientific Lab Report Osmosis Katy Hunter 10-26-2012 Abstract: The objectives of this lab was to be able to create models of cells with the dialysis tubing to show us how the plasma membrane is selectively permeable‚ to study the effects of osmosis on a model cell‚ and to foresee the effect of solute concentration on osmosis. In order to achieve these objectives‚ we had to fill the dialysis tubing with either water‚ or different amounts of sucrose. We then tied off the tubes and put

Studying the Rate of Reaction of catechol oxidase and how it affects pH levels Introduction: In this lab‚ we studied the activity of an enzyme that is found in fruits and vegetables called catecholase or catechol oxidase. An enzyme is a protein molecule that is a catalyst. Catechol oxidase is the enzyme in fruits and vegetables that turns them that undesirable brownish color; also commonly referred to as bruising or bruised. When walking through your regular grocery store and you find yourself in

Keeping conditions inside the body the same is called homeostasis. It’s not easy. Lots of things have to happen‚ e.g. energy transferred between body and environment‚ carbon dioxide is a waste product of respiration and has to be transported by the bloodstream to the lungs where it is breathed out‚ waste and waste products are filtered out of the blood and excreted in the urine. An incubator has a temperature sensor‚ a thermostat with a switch and a heater. Negative feedback happens when one factor

For the preparation of the filtrate solution at the beginning of the class our Instructor‚ Marshall Douglas added about four to five strawberries in the blender along with 100 ml of detergent/ enzyme/ salt solution. They were blended until thoroughly homogenized if foaming occurred more detergent solution was added to prevent it. Then the blended solution was poured into a beaker and left to incubate at 60C for 15 minutes. Also‚ the mixture solution was cooled on ice for 5 minutes and filter through

Potato Osmosis and Diffusion Lab Report Emily Cocq Research Question: Will there be a difference in the experimented potato cores after being subjected to high concentrations of sugar? Introduction: Water can move through protein channels in cell membrane/cell walls. The water will move due to the water potential of the cells. If there is a greater concentration of solutes (chemicals) inside the cell than outside the cell and the chemicals can not move‚ then water will respond by moving

Physics Lab Report Format General Remarks: Writing a lab report is the only way your TA will know what you have done during the lab and how well you have understood the process and the results. Part of your lab experience should be learning how to organize and present your work in a scientific way. There is no framework that can be used as a “one size fits all”‚ therefore this sample lab report should only be used as an example. Any lab report should have the following features:
