Acidic Collagen Lab Report

Creatinine is a waste product filtered by the kidneys into the blood (serum) and urine. High serum, and/or urine creatinine levels are indicative of kidney dysfunction. A colorimetric assay can be used to determine the creatinine concentration in the urine and serum samples from patients who are suspected to have kidney dysfunction.

Table 2: Consists of color extract taken from a red cabbage for a natural indicator. The pH reading that was measured by using the pH meter and the result of the pH reading to determine whether the solution was acidic or basic.

How should the unknown microscopic organisms be classified? The concept of the experiment was to conduct a systematic observation about the traits of unknown organisms, and classify them to the right group. Making detailed observations about the traits, made it possible to identify which cell the trait belonged to because different cells have different traits. Animal cells do not have a cell wall, and has one or more small vacuoles. Plant cells has a cell wall, rectangular (fixed shape), and has a chloroplasts. Cytoplasm, Endoplasmic Reticulum, Ribosomes, Mitochondria, and Golgi apparatus to name a few.

The enzyme that will be used in this experiment is lactase. Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down a sugar found in milk called lactose into glucose and galactose. Lactase is found in the small intestine, and is naturally produced by the body. If someone’s body does not produce the lactase properly, or the lactase itself doesn’t act properly, that person would be considered lactose intolerant. This means your body would not be able to digest milk properly, and you could suffer symptoms such as cramping, diarraea, painful gas, and nausea after having some sort of dairy. If one would was lactose intolerant, but wanted to have some sort of dairy product, they could take a lactase supplement. The lactase in the supplement will break down the lactose

When examining the D. Melanogaster mutants in the lab, our group immediately noticed an apparent difference from the wild-type flies. None of the mutants were able to fly. This led us to believe that we were dealing with a wing mutation. Upon further examination, we concluded that it was the overall wing shape that prevented the mutants from flying. The wing shapes among the mutants varied in both size and shape. Some were long, while others were short. The mutant wings could be distinguished into two general classes. One division of the mutant wing was short and stubby, almost a fourth the size of the wild-type wing. The rest of the mutants ranged in wing size and length, however many mutant wings were the same length as the wild-type wings. Although the

Patients at Long Term Care Facilities are generally debilitated and elderly people who have incontinence problems. Incontinence makes treating pressure ulcers very difficult because it alters tissue tolerance and reapplying products becomes very costly. Usually negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is used to treat pressure ulcers but it is also very costly and does not match with some wound locations. Collagen plays a vital role in the wound healing process by creating a framework for the adhesion, movement, and production of new cells. This study determined the effects and uses of Type 1 formulated collagen on granulation tissue formation and reepithreelialization in chronic pressure ulcers.

Have you ever wondered how gelatin gets shape? This research paper is going to talk about additives that make the strongest gelatin. Terms that will be discussed in this paper include gelatin, molecule, collagen, and protein.

Collagen is secreted as pro collagen by fibroblasts and is aggregated into fibers. Type I collagen is the most common type and is found in ligaments and tendons.

Collagen type I is strong in tension and type II collagen is the primary structural component in articular and hyaline cartilage because it has good compressive strength making it good for bone growth since bones need to be able to support heavy loading.

When printing with the collagen, tendons from 7 to 8 month old Sprague Rat’s were collected and were reconstituted to a solution of 20 mg/ml collagen in 0.1% acetic acid. The solution was mixed with cells and injected into the models of the ear. The ears were cultured for 3 to 5 days,

Fact 1: Biology - The skin The skin is the outer most layer of most animals and is seen as the largest organ of the body consisting of 3 layers, namely the epidermis, dermis and sub-dermis or hypodermis. These layers contain different specialized structures, as can be seen on the diagram on the cover page, which perform functions that are essential for our survival. The skin separates the internal body from the surrounding environment and thus it protects the body against water loss, radiation, toxic chemicals and infections in the surrounding environment. One of the structures that is further discussed are melanocytes in the epidermis and melanin production.

A) CURRENT STATE OF KNOWLEDGE Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and extracellular matrix (ECM): Blood vessels, include arteries that transport blood from the heart to the systemic circulation, and veins that transport blood back again into the heart. A remarkable change in blood vessel structure and function happened, with the emergence of a high-pressure, pulsatile circulatory system in vertebrates. Blood vessels then evolved from simple tubes for channeling blood or other body fluids from a low-pressure heart. According to their sizes and structures, arteries can be subdivided into four categories: large elastic arteries, medium-sized muscular arteries, small arteries (s Law, the larger the aortic diameter, the larger the wall tension

Collagen from livestock animals is a familiar ingredient in cooking. Collagen is a protein, and like most proteins, when heated, it loses all of its structure. The polymer molecule unwinds. Then, when the denatured mass cools down, it soaks up all of the surrounding water like a sponge, forming gelatin.

With the intention to assist the body make collagen (precise skin cells produce small molecules known as seasoned collagen using nutrition C and protein received through someone's food regimen. Because the seasoned collagen molecules are produced, they glue themselves to each other and shape fibrils. Fibrils are small strands of minerals and nutrients that resemble fabric strings whilst checked out beneath a microscope. The fibrils develop and convert into fibers that attach themselves to skin cells that serve as an anchor. Right nutritional consumption of protein and nutrition C are crucial to this growth and development), you have to do numerous matters. There are 25 different types inside the human body. Of them type I is the maximum abundant. It's miles the
