A description of fermentation and wine.

Why would a wine maker be upset when his son lifted the lids on the vats of fermenting grapes. Why do most wines have an alcoholic content no greater than 12%?

Goldman equation

The question asks: Calc. the membrane potential from Goldman equation using pNa/pK = 0.02 & the conc. of Na & K inside & outside the cell. Calc. the membrane potential using pNa/pK = 20. Compare these calculated values of membrane potential with the numbers from the simulation. Why does the membrane potential shift when pNa/ ...continues

Neuron Bathed in Muscimol (GABA agonist) & Baclofen(GABAb agonist)

Please see the attached figure. This is from the cerebellum of a rat. Plate 1 shows the normal activity of a neuron. Plate 2 shows the activity of a neuron after being bathed in muscimol (a GABAa agonist). Plate 3 shows the activity of a neuron after being bathed in balcofen (a GABAb agonist). Plate 4 shows the wash out ...continues

Bacteria - eukaryotic cells have evolved into multicellular organisms

Bacteria never form any sort of grouping that resembles a multicelled organism with an internal division of labor among its cells. Think about the attributes of prokaryotic bacterial cells and the eukaryotic cells of which all multicellular organisms are comprised. Develop some hypotheses explaining why only eukaryotic cells hav ...continues

Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis

Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis co-exist as paired processes. Photosynthesis converts light energy into organic molecules such as carbohydrates. These molecules are picked up and utilized as fuel sources in organisms that employ Cellular Respiration for production of ATP and CO2. 1. Create a table comparing and contr ...continues
