Microbiology Mid Term Review What contribution did these dudes make to science and what type of experiments were involved in the discoveries they made? Louis Pasteur- Heat pasteurization- 1st vaccine for rabies. Found alcohol only produced in wine if yeast was present. “Swan necked” flasks experiment for spontaneous generation. Robert Koch- Studied anthrax, Koch’s postulates (germ theory) studied and awarded for TB research. Anton van Leewenhoek- Made the 1st lens to observe living microorganisms

Review for BSC1010 Final that will consist of 50 questions taken from these facts. 1. A modified form of cellulose found in the exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans is known as chitin. 2. Non-polarity and insolubility characterize biological compounds known as lipids. 3. Alpha helix and beta pleated sheets are examples of the secondary level of protein structure. 4. Components of nucleic acids include a five-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, an organic nitrogen containing base, and phosphodiester

http://www.innerbody.com/anatomy/muscular-male#full-description The muscular system is responsible for the movement of the human body. Attached to the bones of the skeletal system are about 700 named muscles that make up roughly half of a person’s body weight. Each of these muscles is a discrete organ constructed of skeletal muscle tissue, blood vessels, tendons, and nerves. Muscle tissue is also found inside of the heart, digestive organs, and blood vessels. In these organs, muscles serve to move

synthesis itself can begin. The aminoacyl-tRNA to be called for next is determined by the next codon (the next three bases) on the mRNA. Each amino acid is coded for by one or more (up to six) codons” (Center for Bioenergy and Photosynthesis, 2006) . Macromolecules which are present in all living organisms have proteins which are polymers of amino acids. Each polymer of proteins contains a sequence coming from a 20 L-α-amino acids which is also known as residues. Their sizes vary in size ranging from tens

The role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in Diagnoses of Pituitary Gland Name: Institution: The role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in Diagnoses of Pituitary Gland The pituitary gland is an important part of the body because it controls several hormonal glands such as adrenals and the thyroid. The gland is a nearly the size of a pea and has two parts referred to as the lobes (Maya & Pressman, 2010). The front part is the anterior pituitary while the back part is the posterior

Structure and Function The word protein was first coined in 1838 to emphasize the importance of this class of molecules. The word is derived from the Greek word proteios which means "of the first rank". This chapter will provide a brief background into the structure of proteins and how this structure can determine the function and activity of proteins. It is not intended to substitute for the more detailed information provided in a biochemistry or cell biology course. Proteins are the major

Biochemical Analysis of Psychrophilic Proteins from the methanogen Methanococcoides burtonii Erick Morales Abstract About 75% of our biosphere’s temperature is cold (≤ 5°C) and many microorganisms inhabit this type (psychrophilic) of environment, requiring the same building blocks for life as organisms inhabiting moderate (mesophilic) temperatures. Despite this, research on the biosynthetic pathways psychrophiles use is very limited. The enzymes found in these microbes are adapted with structural
