Triple Sugar Iron (TSI) slant, which was incubated and produced positive results. After the TSI test, an MSA plate was used. It remained dark red-colored following incubation, showing itself to be negative for mannitol salt fermentation. Next, a catalase test was performed. The smear on the microscope slide did not bubble at all, indicating that the test was negative. Finally, a blood agar test was performed. Following inoculation of the blood agar plate and appropriate length of incubation, there

To begin, for this project a broth was given that contained an unknown bacterium. The purpose of this project was to use a series of tests, in order to determine what the unknown bacterium was. Using the process of elimination, an interpretation of test results was conducted, in order to rule out certain bacteria. At the end of the elimination process, it was concluded what the unknown bacterium was. Interpretation and Explanation of Results The first step was observation of the broth. At first

Booze Blues: A Case Study on the Liver Three signs and/or symptoms that point to alcoholism. Alcoholism is characterized by hyperglycemia, high blood glucose as it is not properly metabolized by the liver. People with alcoholic cirrhosis are unable to store glucose as glycogen thereby remaining in the blood. Moreover, the glucose cannot be metabolized since cirrhosis destroys the pancreas, leading to insufficiency of insulin. Another symptom is excessive bruising as evident on the patient, which

the Body In this assignment I will be explaining the physiology of the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system. Whilst explaining the two body systems I will be explaining energy production, process of cellular respiration, the role of enzymes within these body systems, the way that these systems absorb food and the products of digestion. The Cardiovascular System The heart pumps the blood around the body through the blood vessels which is made of mostly veins and capillaries. The

the toxins so they can be safely eliminated by the cell. Peroxisomes contain oxidases and catalases that detoxify substances like alcohol and neutralize free radicals. The oxidases changes free radicals to hydrogen peroxide, while the catalases finish the process by changing the hydrogen peroxide to water. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is part of a system of fluid-filled tubules. The smooth ER contains enzymes that detoxify certain
