glycosidic bonds. Starch also has a polymer called amylose, which reacts with the iodine during the test and gives it a blue-black colour. Glycogen, in animals, is bigger (in terms of molecular weight) and it’s structurally very different. It has a lot of branches and they give glycogen the reddish-brown colour in the iodine test. The Benedict’s test tests for reducing sugars. Sugars that contain an aldehyde group are called reducing sugars (University of Waterloo, 2014). When they are mixed and heated

illuminate man’s place in the uni-verse, and as the source of understanding of man’s own nature” —John F. Kennedy (1917–63) The President of America The bacterium Escherichia coli INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE MICROBIOLOGY is a specialized area of biology (Gr. bios-life+ logos-to study) that concerns with the study of microbes ordinarily too small to be seen without magnification. Microorganisms are microscopic (Gr. mikros-small+ scopein-to see) and independently living cells that, like humans, live

This reading will simply explain the following premises: the nature of science evolution and paleoanthropolgy

Biotechnology Insulin crystals Biotechnology is the use of living systems and organisms to develop or make useful products, or "any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use" (UN Convention on Biological Diversity).[1] Depending on the tools and applications, it often overlaps with the (related) fields of bioengineering and biomedical engineering. For thousands of years, humankind

personality was created in 1947.Eysenck's theory is based on physiology and genetics.Eysenck stated that personality differences is someone growing out of their genetic inheritance. Eysenck fought hard against the trend that personality involves biology and the environment. He figured out that all human traits can be broken down into two different categories- Neuroticism and Introversion-Extroversion. Neuroticism ranges from normal and fairly calm to people that are very nervous. This doesn't
