A. franciscana are known to live in high salinity lakes that are often basic (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2015). Furthermore‚ A. franciscana feed on photosynthetic phytoplankton which inhabit areas of light availability but are also more susceptible to predation in highly-lit areas (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2015). Also‚ A. franciscana can withstand a broad range of temperature except extreme values may affect survival (Biology 108 Lab Manual 2015). In this experiment‚ the habitat

FNCE 406 - VALUATION Case: Sensitivity Analysis and Capital Budgeting James Swayer could feel the pressure as he walked into the executive boardroom with his briefcase containing the data and slides pertaining to his latest proposal. The last couple of years had not been very good for him. Two of the projects that he had recommended for investment ended up having to be abandoned‚ and one that he had turned down ended up being a winner for one of the firm’s main competitors. James knew that this

enzyme-catalyzed reaction is called a substrate. The area of the enzyme that binds to the substrate is called the active site - where the action takes place. * Cofactors and coenzymes are small molecules or ions that help enzymes to act. HSC Biology Notes – Hugh Phillips Maintaining a Balance 1.Most organisms are active in a limited temperature range: Identify the role of enzymes in metabolism‚ describe their chemical composition and use a simple model to describe their specificity on substrates:

Introduction: Biology is the study of life‚ what life needs to survive‚ what makes life possible‚ how life evolves and changes‚ and how life-forms interact with one another. Characteristics of Life Living things include both the visible world of animals and plants‚ as well as the invisible world of bacteria. On a basic level‚ we can say that life is ordered. Organisms have an enormously complex organization. We’re all familiar with the intricate systems of the basic unit of life‚ the cell

Compound Microscope Parts A high power or compound microscope achieves higher levels of magnification than a stereo or low power microscope. It is used to view smaller specimens such as cell structures which cannot be seen at lower levels of magnification. Essentially‚ a compound microscope consists of structural and optical components. However‚ within these two basic systems‚ there are some essential components that every microscopist should know and understand. These key microscope parts are illustrated
