Abstract One of the key contributors to the exponentially growing obesity pandemic is the increased consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages such as soft drinks, energy drinks and fruit juices (Malik et al., 2010). In this experiment, a spectrophotometer was used to determine the glucose concentrations of both Coke and Gatorade. The results determined that both drinks contained less glucose than those indicated in the nutrition label. This was due to the fact that the majority of the sugar content in both...

Introduction A molecular marker is a DNA polymorphism within a single nucleotide sequence that can distinct from other individuals within the identical population. In these makers, a visible marker causes a change in phenotype. However, these markers do not create an observable difference in phenotype, but both markers have similar characteristics. Moreover, both visible and noticeable markers can be utilized and generate a linkage map with far more intention than a map make use of phenotypic markers alone (Griffiths et...

Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to determine the concentration of glucose in an assortment of drinks – Coke, Gatorade, and a sucrose solution. This was achieved through the use of a spectrophotometer to measure the absorbance of NADPH, which is directly linked to the glucose content, produced via a multistep enzymatic reaction. The results indicated a directly proportional relationship between glucose concentration and absorbance that followed a positive linear model, which was then used to determine the glucose...

Introduction DNA, or Deoxyribonucleic acid, contains vital coding that makes up the entirety of an organism (Lesk, 2005). These long, double helix structures contain four nucleotides which sequentially create nucleic acids, then consequently combine in different ways to form specific proteins that perform various tasks for the organism during its lifetime (Sanderson, 2007). Once the animal reproduces, this genetic coding is passed on to offspring (Lesk, 2005). There are many practical uses for DNA extraction, which range from its use...

Abstract The existence of bilingual advantage has been strongly debated. The inconsistent literature suggests that bilingual advantage only exists for specific groups. The adaptive learning hypothesis separates (ALH) bilinguals into 1) single-language context (SLC), 2) dual-language context (DLC), and 3) dense code-switching context (DCSC) (Green and Abutalebi, 2013). This study aims to investigate the association between bilingualism and increased inference control (IC) (a type of bilingual advantage) in young adult. Following ALH, this study excluded DCSC bilinguals from the analysis...

Enzymes are key protein molecules in living systems. Once synthesized, they are not usually converted to other kinds of molecules, and so are the substances taken in as fuel for digestive and respiratory processes (such as sugar, fat, and molecular oxygen). This is because enzymes are catalysts, which means they can participate in chemical reactions without themselves being changed, just like the moderator of a public debate who ideally moves the participants and the audience toward a conclusion by dictating...

Background Information In stars the nuclei of Hydrogen and Helium is fused into heavier elements. It is also believed that the relative high abundance of Hydrogen Helium and Lithium is because they were all created during the Big Bang by something known as Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. Nucleosynthesis Elements heavier than Lithium are all synthesised in a star (Wollack, 2010) that means that the first three elements of the periodic table (Hydrogen, Helium and Lithium) were all synthesised before the stars...
