and heavy metal ions is because they are made up of proteins. The food we eat is turned into energy by enzymes and then this energy is unlocked for use in the body. Enzymes have a range of molecular weights from 12000 to more than 1 million. The amino acid side chains on some of the enzymes are only used for activity while cofactors utilize additional chemical components. Enzymes work best at body temperature and they also have to have the correct pH. A catalyst is any substance which makes a

lactose is not fermented and proteins are metabolized instead‚ the solution will become alkaline and turn blue in color. If casein is digested‚ the milk will coagulate to form a curd (a solid). Casein may be metabolized all the way down to individual amino acids. This process‚ called peptonization‚ results in a clear (not milky) liquid that is usually brown in color. Finally‚ the litmus may be reduced and become colorless. The culture will then look milk white. Materials: 1. Litmus Milk Broth 2

Basic Problem: Jelly is made from protein‚ gelatin‚ this is dissolved in hot water and as it cools‚ it sets. For a childrens party it was decided to make some fruit jellies‚ these were made by putting sliced pineapple into the jelly before it set‚ the following observations were made: oThe jelly set normally when tinned pineapple was added. oWhen fresh‚ unripe pineapple was used the jelly set but was not as firm. oWhen fresh‚ ripe pineapple was used‚ the jelly did not set at all But why?

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the fundamental molecule of life encoding the genetic code for the development and functioning of every living organism and a large variety of viruses. RNA‚ proteins‚ and DNA are the main macromolecules‚ which are necessary for every form of life. The genetic system is encoded in the form of a sequence of nucleotides (guanine‚ adenine‚ thymine‚ and cytosine)‚ which are denoted by the letters G‚ A‚ T‚ and C. Most DNA molecules consist of double-stranded helices‚ composed

Hydrocarbon Derivative: Amines Amines are a type of hydrocarbon derivative‚ and they are used in many ways in society. Several companies use amines in products such as drugs and medicines. Also‚ in nature‚ amino acids help the body make proteins‚ and amines are found in many vitamins. For example‚ DOW Chemicals “plays an important role in commonly used products found around the world” by using amines in the manufacturing of energy drinks‚ detergents‚ insulin‚ etc. This is a very large industry
