Task: Methods For this study, the materials we used were a lab book, styrofoam blocks, wick strips, fertilizer pellet, potting soil, F1 seed, P1 seeds, water, wood stakes, rubber stake clips, pollinator wand, paper towel, petri dish, and light. The Styrofoam quad was taken from the lab bench and labeled. One quad became classified P1 and the other was classified F1. eight blue wicks had been picked off the cart and were delivered to our lab ...

Task Carbohydrate metabolism in the thermophilic organism Thermoproteus tenax is different than that of mammals. For example, the PFK-1 catalyzed reaction is reversible. Also, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is regulated. The reaction catalyzed by GAPDH is: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate + 2NAD+ + 2Pi ? 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate + NADH The data given in the graph show GAPDH activity measured in the presence of a constant amo...

Amino Acid Structure and FunctionAs you’ve already seen in the course, one of the key types of molecules we study in biochemistry are the 20 amino acids. Amino acids can play a variety of roles, either as their basic structures, or by being metabolized to other molecules. The metabolism section of this course primarily focusses on the production of energy from carbohydrates and lipids, but the point of this assignment is for you to under...
