An explanation of lactic acid build up in deer.

Venison that comes from a deer that is shot before it can run is more tender and not as strongly flavored as venison from a deer that has run to exhaustion. Why?

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%?

Two major blood grouping in humans are ABO system and Rh factor, which are important to determine before blood transfusion from one individual to another.

Describe blood grouping in humans.

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/pK moves from 0.02 to 20? Use [Na]i =12, [Na]o = 120, [K]i = 125, [K]o = 5. ==> I already calculated using the Goldman equation. I got -71.25 mV for pNa/pK = 0.02 and 47.49 mV for pNa/pK = 20. I said as the permeability ratio of Na and K increases, the potential is more positive. (Is it right?) Then I don't know how to explain the "why" question. Is it relat... click for more

cells outer membrane

how can I arrgue this question with my teacher? Which of these should make up the smallest proportion of a cell's outer membrane? triglyceride cholesterol protein phospholipids i answerd cholesterol b/c i didnt think there were triglycerides in the membrane. i know that a phospolipid has two fatty acid tails but that is still not a triglyceride. a triglyceride is three fatty acids and a glcerol. can some one help me explaine why the answer could have been cholesterol as well.
