    Lab Report 1                              Principles of Biology 1(BIOL 100) Fall 2001                              Gerard Chretien Living cells perform a multitude of chemical reactions very rapidly because of the participation of enzymes. Enzymes are biological catalysts, compounds that speed up a chemical reaction without being used up or altered in the reaction. The material with which the catalysts reacts, called the substrate, is modified during the reaction to form a new product. But because

    Nickel is one of the most important elements on the periodic table. It has plenty of history, as well as a huge importance to society. Its has unique chemical, physical, and geological properties. Nickel is used commercially in abundance, as it is used anywhere from simple art products such as ceramics to complex structures such as tubing for desalination plants. It is even used in the American five-cent coin, the "nickel".Nickel was discovered by Axel Fredrik Cronstedt, in Sweden, during the year

  • Unraveling the Myostatin Gene: The Double Muscle Mutation

    524 Words  | 2 Pages

    BIOL*1090 The Myostatin Gene: Double Muscle Mutation The myostatin gene holds many purposes, but its main importance is to regulate muscle mass, predominantly in the skeletal muscle (Lee 2004). Vertebrates that possess this gene are able to regularly control a normal amount of muscle mass because this gene works as a negative regulator of muscle growth (Lee 2004). However, as in any other gene, complications can arise in transcription or translation that can compromise its effectiveness

    I have had a great learning experience in the lab section of biol 230. This was the first science laboratory class I had taken in college. I think I developed different methods of studying and learned a lot of things that I will probably carry with me throughout my years in the university and beyond as a STEM major. I developed not only in my cognitive skills but also I felt that the class helped me develop myself in my noncognitive skills as a person who is somewhat socially anxious/awkward. I felt

    Jakob Wenman Lab 7: Yeast Metabolism BIOL 1220 Section: 001 3/11/14 TA: Paul Williams Introduction: Yeasts are able to convert carbon sources, like sugars, into ethanol, without air. Yeasts also change sugars into carbon dioxide and water, when air is present (Leady. 2014). When cellular respiration requires oxygen, it is known as aerobic cellular respiration (Leady. 2014). Carbon counts are important because they give the number of carbons in monosaccharide molecules. Glucose has a carbon count

Having been taught the gradient of morphogen and there were many experiments testing this possible phenomenon of regrowth. In a planarian there is a single adult stem cell type called the neoblast. Neoblast are abundantly present throughout the body and it divides continuously. This neoblast has the ability to regenerate different cell and organ
