Gmelina seeds (Gmelina arborea) as Potential Source of Biofuel Diane Claire Q. Bragais Jeanne Isabelle B. Bilasano Jessa C. Buendia Researchers Mr. Ronaldo C. Reyes Adviser Tabaco National High School Tabaco City INTRODUCTION We rely on coal, oil and gas (the fossil fuels) for over 80% of our current energy needs and by 2030, global energy consumption is projected to grow by 36% and demand for liquid transport fuels will have risen by some 16 million barrels more a day. With the

The purpose of this laboratory exercise was to perform tests necessary to be able to distinguish one microorganism from 10 others. Using a series of biochemical tests and characteristics, unknown #22 was concluded to be Pseudomonas aeruginosa. A dichotomous key was mapped out and used during this process. Using this provided guidance as well as organization as to what the result may be. Upon obtaining the unknown organism, it was important to make a streak plate of the bacteria on TSA. The purpose

balance, nerve impulse condition and cell membrane. Copper provides elastic tissue formation, cholesterol utilization, hemoglobin formation and a oxidase enzyme activator. Zinc transports carbon dioxide, protein synthesis, the storage of insulin, sexual function, healing of wounds and carbohydrate metabolism. Iron transports oxygen and electrons, enzyme activator and formation of hemoglobin. Manganese utilizes vitamin B1, production of fluids in joints, protein metabolism, connective tissue and carbohydrates

consistently performed, and more so in recent years, where significant advances in enzyme engineering has fastened the place of such developments. Targeted improvements aim at enzymes with enhanced thermal and operational stability, improved specific activity, modification of pH-activity profiles, and increased product specificity, among others. This has been mostly achieved through protein engineering and enzyme immobilization, along with improvements in screening. The latter has been considerably

Effects of Different pH Level on Amylase in Starch Introduction Amylase, a family of proteins that differ in isoforms, is a digestive enzyme found in saliva and pancreatic fluid that helps digest starch into simple sugars. (Scannapieco et. al., 1993). Amylase is the first step in digesting starch, which is used for the intake of carbohydrates or energy in humans. (Butterworth et. al., 2011). Amylase functions in the hydrolysis of starches, which produces glucose monomers. (Karp, 2010). This

Enzyme Activity In Living Tissue Lab Jaida Dieckman November 23, 2015 Background The studies done during this lab were the enzymes and there role is having proteins that are used as catalysts in living things. Also, substrates are reactants that connect to and enzymes active site. The role of the enzymes catalase in a cell is it breaks down the substrate hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is produced during normal metallic activities in the cell, but it is poisonous to the cell if it accumulates

Nguyet Vu Activity of the Porcine Pancreas α-Amylase Enzyme Under Different Concentration Introduction: Enzymes are specialized protein structures that increase the rate of reactions without changing chemical equilibrium between reactants and products (Cooper, 2000). These enzymes have a distinct chemical composition that constructs an active site for substrates to bind to; this is the location where the substances come together to from an enzyme-substrate complex, which makes forming a product possible

Temperature, pH and Enzyme Concentration on Enzymatic Activities 1. Introduction Enzymes are biological catalysts that are protein. They speed up the rate of chemical reactions and metabolism in the body of organisms. They are specific in their action that means a certain enzyme will only speed up a certain reaction involving a specific substrate to bring about a specific product. Enzymes work on a key and lock mechanism where substrates are linked to their active sites. Enzymes reduce the activation

Lab13: *Evolution: change in allele frequencies in a population over time * The population does not occur if: A. The breeding population is large. The effect of a change in allele frequencies is reduced. B. Mating is random. Organisms show no mating preference for a particular genotype. C. There is no net mutation of the alleles. D. There is no migration or emigration of organisms. E. There is no natural selection. Every organism has an equal chance for passing on their genotypes. Dom
