Title: Identification of the Main Groups in Macromolecules- Carbohydrates Objective: To investigate and identify the different types of carbohydrates Background: Macromolecules are large molecules that are present in our body. There are four main types of macromolecules, namely carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Each one of them plays specific and significant roles in our body and each one of them is extremely important. If we are lacking either one of them, our body would

Ribosomes are multi-subunit macromolecules that contribute to the formation of many crucial proteins that maintain a balance of function in many living organisms. They primarily function by translating mRNA’s into their corresponding amino acid sequences. A protein’s correct output of amino acid order and consequently its structure are dependent strongly upon the correct formation of the ribosomal subunits in the particular organism’s ribosome. Degradation or incorrect structural formation of

Associate Program Material DNA Worksheet Answer the following in at least 100 words: 1. Describe the structure of DNA. DNA molecules are composed of two strands that form a helical ascending spiral. They fit together like the opposing teeth of a zipper and are held together by weak interactions called hydrogen bonds. These two strands is a long string of subunits called nucleotides, each attached to the one immediately about it and the one immediately below it to form a long chain. Each

The Importance of the Nephron in Kidneys All living organisms require a source of energy, usually in the form of food, to satisfy the cellular demands of the body and ultimately to sustain life. Thus, the nutrients that are consumed by organisms are broken down by various processes within organs, tissues, and cells, in order for important molecules, like minerals, vitamins, proteins, and carbohydrates, to be taken up and distributed around the body. The molecules not needed by the body or ends

3. Termites A. Spirochetes play a fundamental role when it comes to the nutrition of termites. They use acetate produced by microbes as a major source of energy and of Carbon. Spirochetes N2 fixation also plays an important role in the nitrogen economy of termites. The N2 fixation of these spirochetes is significant for a lot of different environments B. Acetogenic spirochete: -Spirochetes that have been previously cultured, posses the ability to conserve their energy by the oxidation of H2 -The

Nature Verses Nurture The discussion on the importance of heredity and environment in human development is not new. The nature verses nurture question has been debated for years (Psychology). Nurture side of the debate considers all the environmental influences on an individual after conception. While the nature side of the debate focus on nature that which is inherited, or know as genetics. The nature verse nurture discussion has been a part of the history of psychology that goes back to Francis

Separation techniques Chromatography Chromatography is a separation technique used to separate the different components in a liquid mixture. It was introduced by a Russian Scientist Michael Tswett. Chromatography involves the sample being dissolved in a particular solvent called mobile phase. The mobile phase may be a gas or liquid. The mobile phase is then passed through another phase called stationary phase. The stationary phase may be a solid packed in a glass plate or a piece of chromatography
