Cheyenne Kenny September 29‚ 2014. Biology Properties Of Water Adhesion How does temperature change affect surface tension? As the temperature of a liquid increases‚ its surface tension decreases. When water heats up‚ the movement of its molecules disrupts the imbalanced forces on the surface of the water and weakens its sheet-like barrier of tightly bound molecules‚ thereby lowering the surface tension. This is why hot water is more effective when cleaning; its low surface

Experiment 2 Quantification of Proteins in Solution by Spectrophotometer Lab bench# 1 Introduction: Absorption spectroscopy is a common method for finding the concentration of proteins or protein complexes in a solution. Proteins absorb light at specific wavelengths and can be defined by the equation A = log (Io/I). This equation states that an absorbance at a specific wavelength‚ A is equal to the log of the ratio of incident light intensity (Io)‚ to transmitted light intensity (I). A

Specificity of Protein-Ligand Binding 1). One can conclude that Orange G. has the lowest affinity for the albumin. In the experiment the concentration of Orange G that binds to protein was a lot less than either Ponceau S. or Bromophenol blue. The ligand with the highest affinity to BSA was a little more difficult to decipher. The experiment shows that all of the 2 µL of both Ponceau S. and Bromophenol blue bind to the BSA. However‚ when 5 µL of the ligand is added the BSA is saturated and cannot

experiment‚ we will be testing three different proteins to see if they denature at the same temperature. A protein is a molecule containing amino acids created in ribosomes that have many functions‚ including being an enzyme and transporter‚ structuring‚ translating genetic information‚ and serving as a channel for charged molecules to pass through the cell membrane. As a molecule‚ a protein is shaped like a coil (Food Science Basics 2014). Denaturation is when a protein’s shape changes due to the

Enzymes are globular proteins that are synthesized by the ribosomes in a cell. They act as catalysts during biological reactions; therefore‚ enzymes are able to speed up these reactions without undergoing a permanent change themselves. These proteins are able to do this by lowering the activation energy of a reaction. To add on‚ enzymes require specific conditions under which they can work best. Reactions occur at faster rates when the temperature is higher. However‚ the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed

17 May 2013 Are Protein Shakes Good For You? According to Flex bodybuilding magazine‚ protein shake is the number one selling bodybuilding supplement. Protein powders have been around for years‚ but they are currently gaining popularity and becoming more widely used for their health benefits. In fact protein is one of three food components we require in large quantities. Others are carbohydrates and fats. Your body uses proteins in your diet to build new cells‚ maintain tissues‚ and synthesize

assumptions about her protein needs are unrealistic based on her current weight. Erin’s protein consumption is too low for her weight. This is roughly 13% of her kcalorie intake which is closer to the lower end of the ranges of 10-35 percent. This is unrealistic because she is not consuming enough calories of protein for her weight. If you calculate her weight by height you can clearly she needs more protein. Erin’s weight 118lbs /2.2ib/kg= 54 kg‚ so know take 54kg x 0.8g/kg= 43.2g protein. (Understanding
