Insulin
Insulin In 1943, Fredrick Sanger set out to figure out the structure of insulin. He spent the next 12 years looking for the answer. A bit after that he broke the insulin molecule into pieces. After splitting the chanis of amino acids into short fragments, Snager came to understand how they fit together. He learned that insulin is made up of two linked chains, one containing 30 amino acids and the other containing 21. In

Insulin Synthesis
Insulin Synthesis The discovery of insulin was one of the greatest events in medical history. The existence of insulin is as necessary as that of glucose (the body’s basic unit of fuel). Both of them are related and required for life. In order for the glucose to be regulated, insulin circulates through blood vessels and bind with particular (insulin) receptors, promoting interactions essential for the wellbeing of the body’s internal mechanisms. Insulin is a

Intraspecific Competition: The Response of The Sunflower (genus Helianthus) to Increasing Density
INTRASPECIFIC COMPETION: THE RESPONSE OF THE SUNFLOWER (genus HELIANTHUS) TO INCREASING DENSITY. INTRODUCTION All species, including plants, are impacted by density. Plants, of course, cannot leave their habitat as animals can, so they tend to respond in different ways to density. As populations grow more dense, they compete for resources such as food and space and are more prone to disease. Less dense populations are more susceptible to predation pressure. It is hypothesized that as

Invaisive Species
Discussion The presence of Bythotrephes in Harp Lake showed a significantly greater mean length (mm) and lower mean abundance (daphnia/m3) of the Daphnia population. However, there was no significant change in the biomass (µg/m3). The differences in length and abundance suggest that the invasive species can possibly be correlated with increased predation, competition and overall disturbance of the steady state equilibrium in the given aquatic ecosystem, Harp Lake. The significant decrease in the abundance of
