Hi. I have to write a practical report for Glucose Tolerance test. I have tried and tried but am struggling. I need to take into account any sampling and or dilution involved in the experiment and work out a conversion factor(hope that makes sense)so that my results can be expressed as mg of glucose per 100cm3 of original bloo
Compare and contrast the ascending and descending limbs of the loop of Henle with regard to transport of sodium, chloride, and water.
Identify two factors that stimulate thirst.
Please identify two factors that stimulate thirst and explain their biologies.
The concentration of glucose in plasma is 100mg/100ml and GFR is 125ml/min. How much glucose is filtered per minute. Explain.
What happens to glomerular filtration rate in a nephron whose afferent arteriole constricts(systemic blood pressure remains constant).
What happens to the force of contraction if plasma Ca2+ levels decrease substantially, due to kidney malfunction.
6. An 8 gram sample of cream cheese was homogenised in sterile Ringer's solution to give a total volume of 20 cm3. The homogenate was then serially diluted and 0.2 cm3 aliquots of a number of dilutions were spread plated on duplicate nutrient agar plates. After incubation, the following colony counts were recorded: Dilution R
THE PROBLEM you have decided to study DNA repair and recombination in E.coli. your best buddy from graduate school sends you a clone of the recA gene. she has told you that the gene is included in 3.266 Kb Bam HI genomic fragment that she has cloned into the pBC vector. however, she has neveer checked the orient
What is meant by "detection of peptidoglycan by the host requires prior processing?"
Write a description of the peptidoglycan recycling pathway.
For the table attached pick one of the gene products, and write a hypothetical Koch's postulates molecur version to identify the gene product as a virulence factor in the infection model, which is also listed on the table.
Bacteria used to degrade a contaminant in a bacth reactor are found to grown on the contaminant with Monod Kinetics. Assuming Umax (the max specific growth rate)=10 per day, and Ks (called half velocity constant)=5mg/L and Kd (the decay constant)=0.05 per day. At what value of S (the substrate concentration) will dX/dt=0. (X
Hundreds of human diseases are characterized by a genetic component, such as familial breast cancer. These diseases may run in your family and can currently be tested for. Prepare a 200-word report for your own family members about the current state of knowledge on any such diseases and the tests available. Describe the disease,
Discuss why you would or would not choose the reduced-fat product as part of a healthy diet. Include in your discussion the RDA guidelines recommending less than 30% of total calories come from fat.
In the United States, many states now impose taxes on tobacco to discourage smoking and to help offset the health costs associated with smoking. However, heart disease, which has been linked to a high-fat diet, is the country's number one killer. In addition, more cancer cases in the United States are related to diet than to smo
Explain how physical and chemical laws affect a living organism. Also, provide an example of how an organism has evolved to adapt to its physical or chemical environment. Then, answer the following question: Why do you think physical and chemical laws relate functions to structures and vice versa?
In lab, you try burning marshmallows to estimate their caloric content. a) if a large marshmallow, when burned completely, raises the temperature of 1L of water 40 degrees, what is the approximately caloric content measured in nutritional calories (kcal or Cal)? b) how many calories would be required to raise 500g of water 3 de
One of the concerns mentioned in the chapter regarding the use of genetic technology centers around privacy issues such as "genetic discrimination." Once we improve our ability to screen the human genome for disease susceptibility, is there any level of testing that should be required by society as a means of reducing health car
Companies that sell sport supplements make billions of dollars each year claiming by consuming their products the person can lose or gain weight. Assume the body weight is genetically determined and that any gain or loss in weight will cause the body to activate homeostatic mechanisms to cause the body to return to the original
When it replenishes these nutrients, it can rehydrate and regulate its body temperature. Once the body temperature returns to normal, it can then return to physical activity. Explain why sports drinks might or might not aid in thermo regulation. Why do you think knowing abut thermo regulation can help you make informed choices a
How might negative feedback loop explain why people who lose large amounts of weight chain that weight back? Explain the weight cycle in perms of the negative feedback loop. Do you think that weight in humans is regulated by a negative loop? Why or why not? Do you think weight is controlled by a negative feedback loop that is ge
The text notes that an alternate allele of the hemoglobin gene can cause sickle-cell anemia when a person is homozygous for this allele, but that a person who is heterozygous for the allele actually can derive a benefit from it--protection from malaria. In the United States, 8 percent of African Americans are carriers for the si
People who are born with the condition called Down syndrome generally have three copies of a certain chromosome (chromosome 21), rather than the usual two copies. In 200 words, what can you deduce from this regarding the proteins produced by a person with Down syndrome?
Make a list of all the fat substitutes that you found on your ingredient label. Indicate what type of fat substitute you found (like the synthetic fat Olestra). Determine how many Calories you would save by eating this reduced-fat product instead of the high-fat one. Compose a 200-word argument discussing why you would or woul
