Introduction

Osmosis refers to the net water movement across a membrane, which is selectively permeable and the movement is driven by a difference in the concentration of the solutes on the opposite sides of the membrane. A selectively permeable membrane allows water to pass through without allowing ions or solute molecules to pass through. Other small molecules that are not charged are also allowed to pass through the membrane. Diffusion, on the other hand, refers to the movement of molecules in a random motion as a result of the kinetic energy and causes the molecules to have a net movement from areas where the particles ...

International Marketing Plan of Burts Potato Chips

Executive Summary
The globalization has changed the face of the international business, and the companies are now expanding their operations to more than one country so that they can tap untapped segments to increase profitability. Some of the benefits of the international expansion into emerging economies are a large base of potential customers, decreased costs and economies of scale due to large operational capacities. Burts Chips is also planning to achieve these benefits of international expansion by expanding the operations to Brazil. This document provides detailed insights into the economy of the Brazil and suggests suitable entry method along ...

Aims

1. To observe and investigate the effects of osmosis across the cell membranes of a plant.
2. To investigate the ability of different molecules to diffuse across a selectively permeable membrane.

Introduction

All living cells are enclosed by an outer covering known as plasma or cell membranes. In addition, these plasma membranes serve as barriers between different compartments in the body to confine processes and materials to certain locations. Examples of these processes are diffusion and osmosis which are the main physiological processes that play important roles in the body. Diffusion can be defined as the process by which molecules move ...

Introduction

The cell membrane encloses the cell contents and regulates what gets in and out of the cell. This property of a cell is referred to as selective permeability and helps in maintaining life processes (Beckett 22). The property enables physiological process such as diffusion and osmosis to proceed.
Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration (Roberts and Mitchelmore 38). In a cell membrane, the molecules will diffuse from the side where the molecules are more to a region where they are less. Because of selective permeability, only molecules ...

Introduction

An enzyme is a protein with catalytic properties in biological systems. During an enzymatic reaction, a substance, called the substrate, binds to the active site of the enzyme and is then turned into one or more substance(s), called the product(s). The enzyme itself is not consumed or altered during the reaction. The enzyme activity depends on factors, including pH, temperature, buffer composition, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, and the presence of inhibitors.
Enzymes have an optimal pH at which their activity is maximal. pH determines the ionization states of certain amino acids at the active site that are critical ...

Identification of reducing sugar carbohydrates and starch in different materials using biochemical tests

Introduction:
Organic compounds are associated to living organisms and contain carbon and hydrogen. Main organic compounds in living organisms are carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids.
Carbohydrates are organic molecules that supply energy for cell processes. Sugars and starches are carbohydrates that cells use for energy. Some carbohydrates also are important parts of cell structures. For example, a carbohydrate called cellulose is an important part of plant cells
Particularly, carbohydrates are organic compounds that have carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. They can be part of cell structures and a source of energy for the cell. Sugar, starch and cellulose are ...

Aim

The aim of this experiment is to:
Determine how different concentrations of substrate affect the enzyme activity of the enzyme catalase
Construct and interpret graphs of the data collected.
Introduction
Many animal and plant tissues undergo catalase reactions. The various biochemical reactions yields hydrogen peroxide which is broken down by catalase into oxygen and water. The following is a typical equation governing catalase reaction (Roberts and King, 1987).
H2O2 2H2O + O2

Hydrogen peroxide Water Oxygen

In this experiment, a filter paper that has been coated with enzyme is placed into a beaker containing hydrogen peroxide; the substrate. The enzyme breaks hydrogen peroxide ...

Sensory Perception

The Nervous system plays an important role in many mammals including man. The nervous system is responsible for the coordination of different stimuli in the body. Environmental changes can be felt in the body due to the nervous system present. The sense of touch, vision, audition and taste can be understood solely due to the nervous system.
A minute change or deficiency in these senses could lead to fatality. A failure in perception of any of the senses makes an individual dependent. Sensory perception is essential for all living organisms and forms the basis for homeostasis.

Advertising is used as a means to publicize a particular product or service to its target market. Companies often vie to produce the most creative, lucrative, and efficient advertisements in their respective industries. However, in the high demand for such advertisements, certain campaigns tend to neglect their responsibility of proper advertising. Various forms of deceptive advertising are seen almost everywhere and the most notorious will be tackled later on. To be specific, any form of advertisement that lures consumers to purchase a product or service due to a misunderstanding may be ...

Introduction

The biuret test is a test that is used to test for proteins. More specifically, it tests for presence of peptide bond in a sample. According to Janiro, Sy, Yap, Llanos-Lazaro and Robles (78), the biuret test is one of the earliest methods that have been developed for determining protein content. The biuret reagent reacts with amino acids bonded but does not react with molecules like starches, sugars, vitamins and fats. A sample containing peptide bonds will react with the biuret reagent to form a purple colored complex. The amount of color produced is directly proportional to the amount of protein present ( ...

Abstract

Enzymes are biological catalysts and work by speeding up the rate of chemical reactions. The factors that affect enzyme activity include enzyme concentration, temperature, pH, and the substrate concentration. This experiment aimed to determine the effect of lemon juice, which is acidic on the activity of catechol oxidase enzyme. According to the results, high acidity inactivates the catechol oxidase enzyme. The optimum pH level for catechol oxidase enzyme can, therefore, be said to be pH 6.

1.0 Introduction

Obesity is a health condition that occurs as a result of accumulation of excess body fat . This results from energy imbalance where energy consumption far exceeds disbursement and this in time results to weight gain. This imbalance is as result of several factors, including but not limited to: unwarranted ingestion of energy rich foods, lack of physical activities and genetic predisposition. Obesity makes the body susceptible to a wide range of health disorders such as cardiovascular disorders, certain strains of cancer, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and psychological problems. Obesity is expressed by Body Mass Index (BMI); a measurement that relates weight ...
