Using well-characterized microorganisms to generate commodity chemicals is a scalable and cost-effective method for producing a plethora of complex products that are difficult to synthesize chemically. In fact, the workhorses of biology- enzymes- enable high specificity in biochemicalRead MoreBiological Psychology966 Words   |  4 Pages1. Individual Assignment: Biological Psychology Paper †¢ Resources: Assigned readings, Electronic Reserve Readings, the Internet, and/or other sources †¢ Prepare a 700- to 1,050-word paper in which you analyze biological psychology. Be sure to address the following items in your analysis: o Define biological psychology and examine its historical development. o Identify three influential theorists associated with biological psychology. o Describe the relationshipRead MoreTemperature Mediated Moose Survival1389 Words   |  6 Pagesobservational or experimental study, who collected the data, what kind of data were collected, where was study conducted, what sample sizes were used, what was the time-frame of data collection, could a reader repeat the study, etc.) (1pt) As shown in figure 1, the experimental study area encompassed a 3,780 kilometer mosaic landscape along Lake Superior in northeastern Minnesota. Moose immobilization and sedation permitted tooth and tissue sampling, as well as attachment of a VHF radio collar, to determineRead MoreBenefits of Dissection818 Words   |  3 PagesThis paper will provide pros and cons regarding ethics of dissection. Dissection has many benefits. The experience of dissection is unforgettable. â€Å"Things you can actually touch usually stick in your head better,† according to Dr. Damon Scoville. Dissection is an approach to science that creates a lasting impression. Students gain many things from an experience with dissection. Some of which include respect for life, and necessary skills for dissection that will be useful later in higher level classesRead MoreAnalyzing The Genome Of Living Cells ( 1 )1139 Words   |  5 PagesBiology, in all of its glory, is quite amazing. It has always existed and always will; it merely just waits for a human to attempt to understand it. This understanding has taken centuries, however it seems to increase with the years. A very popular topic amongst biologists today is the genome, understanding it, mapping it, comparing one organism’s to another and so on. With the understanding of this genome though, we as humans want to delve into it, tweak it, and manipulate it until it is perfectionRead MoreFactors That Affect Enzyme Activity1464 Words   |  6 Pagesdecomposed into oxygen (O2) and water (H2O).(4) Enzyme activity and efficiency is affected by the conditions that the reaction occurs in. Changes in conditions can result in altering of the enzyme’s three dimensional shape and affect the enzyme’s function.(1) The conditions that influence the activity of an enzyme include pH, temperature, substrate concentration(s), ionic strength, and nature of salts present.(2) At a constant set enzyme concentration, the reaction rate increases with increasing substrateRead MoreThe Effect Of Temperature And Ph Levels On Enzyme Activity926 Words   |  4 PagesJoshua Kwon Sep 19, 15 Biology p 4 How Do Changes in Temperature and pH Levels Affect Enzyme Activity? Lab Report In biology class, we’ve learned that sugars produce energy and to use sugars to gain energy, an organism needs a proper enzyme should exist to break it down the chemical bonds of the sugar. Enzymes and proteins are important in organisms because they are involved in most chemical reactions that take place inside of an organism. Our example of an important enzyme was catalaseRead MoreMolecular Visualization With High Throughput Screening ( Hts )1144 Words   |  5 Pagesthere is extensive research into drug discovery. Molecular visualization is one of the most important parts of structural biology and the drug discovery process. Molecular visualization with high-throughput screening (HTS) has been successful in the discovery of new drugs. Though HTS has been effective it is expensive and covers a limited space. For these reasons, the high-level visualization of molecules provides help to cut the work performed in HTS. Together, they offer one of the most effectiveRead More Osmosis and Diffusion on Different Concentrations of Sodium Chloride on a de-Shelled Chicken1554 Words   |  7 Pages1. Provide the aim and background information 2.1. Diffusion is the spontaneous kinetic movement by which molecules move from an area of a high concentration to an area of low concentration. Diffusion continues until it reaches equilibrium. Osmosis is similar to Diffusion but it’s the process in which water moves across a semi-permeable membrane and goes to the higher concentration of solute.1 2.2. Important factors to Osmosis and Diffusion include Temperature, Concentration andRead MoreWinogradsky Column Discription1129 Words   |  5 Pagesinteraction of microbes using pond mud.
