If we are given a mixed broth tube with 2 unknowns, how will you isolate it? How will you know when it's isolated? Is it fair to say, that "Using sterile technique, I would preform the streak plate method. Once I can see, the 2 separate colonies in quadrant 4 of streak plate, I would put one of each colony into their own ag

Can you help put me on the right track with these? Many biological reactions proceed at far too slow a rate to make them metabolically effective. Is it the presence of enzymes that lowers the activation energy so that these reactions can take place? If not, then what? ATP is considered a short-term form of energy for a
Please help me understand better how we as humans gain our metabolic energy (ATP) from the sun.
This job provides me with a simple explanation for how eating too much sugar makes us fat.
By definition, energy "is the capacity to do work." It involves either manufacturing of molecules, moving objects or generation of heat and light. How does it flow within its cycle? What happens when a living being takes in too much or not enough energy? Is it possible to exceed our need for energy intake for ourselves and our a
What effect would a fracture of the lower spine and transaction of the lumbar region of the spinal cord have on micturition? How would micturition be controlled from now on? Will the need to void be felt? Will there be dribbling between voidings?
1. After death, the muscles of the body become very stiff and inextensible. This phenomenon is referred to as rigor mortis, and the muscles are said to be in a state of rigor. (a) Explain the biochemical basis of rigor mortis, in terms of the interaction of actin and myosin; ie, where in the contraction cycle is the
1 FSH stimulates the production of estrogen in this gland. 2 Functions in setting biological rhythms. 3 Produces and secretes testosterone. 4 Produces glucocorticoids. 5 Facilitates maternal behavior in mammals. 6 This hormone stimulates the release of two hypothalamic hormone. 7 A surge in this hormone triggers ovul
1a) In a test of semantic similarity and at a target stimulus duration of D -10ms, which of the words 'bird' and 'fish' would be the most likely choice (give approximate %) in response to presentation of the target word 'hen'? This job explains the answer with reference to figure 4.3 below. 1b) In a test of semantic similari
If a patients suffers a complete transection at T12 of the spine what would be the resulting effect on their arms and legs?
What is the main difference between a hormone and a neurotransmitter? Also I have been told that adrenalin is a hormone and a neurotransmitter depending on where it is released from. Is this correct?
