The body will use these enzymes to get rid of energy. The body could not get rid of fructose without these two enzymes (cliffnotes.com, n.d.). Substrate acted on by aldolase B: Aldolase B can use F-1, 6-BP and F1P as substrates. F1P is a derivative of fructose. It is produced in the liver by fructokinase (ghr.nlm.nih.gov, n.d.).
Growth media refers to any liquid or gel that will support any microorganisms or cells to grow. In the BIOE160 class we are currently using the medium LB (Lysogeny Broth or Luria Broth) to grow E. coli (this type of bacteria is usually found in the lower intestine of warm blooded organisms). Microorganisms also need water, oxygen, an energy source, carbon source, nitrogen source, and micronutrients. There are four stations that you could see on a graph of the cell growth. The first phase is called the lag phase.
This can be either permanent or temporary depending on the type of inhibitor. A competitive inhibitor will fight the substrate for the active site, but this is temporary. A noncompetitive inhibitor with attach to a different portion of the enzyme changing the active site permanently. The last two characteristics of enzyme catalyst or steps in the reaction cycle is the release of an end product and the enzymes ability to be recycled to start the process all over. (Wolfe, 2000) Sucrose also known as table sugar breaks down to glucose and fructose naturally by the body.

The Calvin cycle is anabolic, building carbohydrates from smaller molecules and consuming energy. Carbon enters the Calvin cycle in the form of CO2 and leaves in the form of sugars. The cycle spends ATP as energy source and consumes NADPH as a reducing power for adding high energy. The Calvin cycle has 3 phases it undergoes while occurring phase 1 is the carbon fixation, the Calvin cycle incorporates each CO2 molecule one at a time by attaching to its five carbon sugar name RuBP carboxylase, or rubisco the product of this reaction is a six carbon intermediate so unstable that it immediately splits in half forming two molecules of 3 phosphoglycerate, the next phase is Reduction Each molecule receives an additional phosphate group from ATP, becoming 1, 3-biphosphoglycerate. Next a pair of electrons are donated from NADPH reduces 1, 3-bisphosphoglycerate which also loses a phosphate group, becoming G3P.
The specific substrate in this case that is acted by Aldolase B is fructose-1-phosphate. This is later converted into DHAP and glyceraldehyde. The product, once finished, will then enter the glycolysis cycle to form ATP (Hudon-Miller, 2012c). Role of Aldolase B in the Breakdown of Fructose Aldolase B is found mostly in the liver but can also be present at lower levels in the kidney and intestinal cells. It is involved in breaking down a simple sugar called fructose.
This is an indicatore because sucrase is an enzyme found in the small intestine that catalyzes the splitting of the disaccharide sucrose into the monosaccharides glucos and fructose. The amount of product produced indicate the level of sucrase activity that occured. 5. Explain why denatured sucrase was used as a control. Denatured sucrase was used as a control because denatured enzymes, in this case sucrase, lose their shape and can potentially lose their ability to catalyze a chemical reaction.
The water and food are absorbed by rhizoids. (Study Mode, 2012) Literature Review There are many types of molds and many different variables that create these molds. There are numerous experiments that have been executed over the years that tested various aspects of mold. Science Project Lab experimented with four types of substrates, a piece of fruit, cookies, a piece of bread and a cabbage leaf. They set out to determine if different mold species on various kinds of substrates would produce the same bread mold species on all substrates.
GM Food Saves Lives by Rebecca Wilson Genetically modified (GM) food was introduced to the citizens of the United States in 1994. Since then, the use of genetics on produce and animals has become so widespread that each person in the United States is most likely eating GM food daily. A primary reason for its popularity is how beneficial it is to people and businesses. What is genetic modification? Plants and animals naturally go through a process of selection for survival.
Unit Five Whole Foods Market 2007 Case Study Analysis Kaplan University School of Business and Management MT 460 Management Policy and Strategy February 1, 2012 Unit Five Whole Foods Market 2007 Case Study Analysis Introduction I will be conducting an in-depth case analysis of Whole Foods Market. In particular I will be exploring key issues, biggest threat, alternative solutions, the selected solution, an implementation plan, recommendations and lastly the conclusion. Synopsis (Background) of the Situation Whole Foods is a natural & organic foods store. It was founded in 1980 by John Mackey. Whole foods began with less than 10 stores and gradually built up to have more than, 270 retail stores in North America and the United Kingdom.
