Aegle marmelos has enormous medicinal values as well as traditional values against various diseases. Aegle marmelos also commonly known as Bael is an ancient plant in India and also now being neutralized in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Pakistan, Bangladesh and most of south eastern Asian countries. In casual terms they are known as Bengal quince, Indian quince, holy fruit, golden apple in English and bael or bilva in Hindi (Balinga et al., 2011).
1.1 Plant Description
Aegle belongs to orange sub family Aurantioide, one of the three monotypic genera. (www.hort.purdue.edu)
Aegle marmelos, family Rutacae is deciduous, which has 6–8 meters height with trifoliate aromatic leaves. Its branches has long straight spines and bark is shallowly furrowed and corky. It has flowers which are nearly 2 cm wide and are borne in clusters. They are generally sweet scented and greenish white. It has 5-7.5 cm diameter of fruits. Seeds are numerous and arranged in the cells surrounded by slimy transparent mucilage. Seeds have wooly hairs. (www.hort.purdue.edu)
The plant grows at an altitude of 1200 meter in the western Himalayas as well as in Andaman Island. In Hindus tradition Bael is generally considered as sacred tree and its leaves are offered to Lord Shiva to worship. Every parts, roots, stem, fruit and leaves at different stages of maturity have their

Also by the post-translational processing of multi-domain precursors some small PIs are produced in (McManus et al., 1994a; Sanchez-Serrano et al., 1986; Miller et al., 2000). Numerous protease inhibitors are produced against many stress conditions, e.g. insects, wounding, pathogens, and environmental stresses such as salt (Koiwa et al.,
Title: Enzymes Abstract: Enzymes can catalyze chemical reactions by speeding up the chemicals activation energy. Temperature and pH are just two of the factors that affects enzymes and their involvement with chemicals and the way they function. Throughout this experiment, we conducted a study on peroxidase, which is an enzyme. The following information consist of the recordings of when it was exposed to four different pH levels to come up with an optimum pH and IRV at the end. Introduction: Enzymes are proteins that are used in reactions in living organisms.
Each of these plants had different day where their growth rate was maximized such as from day 1- day 2 for milk it had grew 1.9
Sclerenchyma cells are the main support but die when the plant grows up. My third question was “Do humans have an epidermis as well?”.
Although many scholars debate the levels of literacy in the Ancient world, the Vindolanda tablets do provide evidence of written eloquence in writing, and even more surprisingly, evidence of women writing. This in itself is a testament to Latin notions of literacy where (elite) women were just as capable of literacy as men. Specifically, Vindolanda tablet 291 contains a letter to Silpicia Lepidina from Claudia Severa, wife of Aelius Brocchus, who is sending an invitation to a dinner party for Severa’s birthday. The elegant script is marked by a high level of formality, such as ‘For the day of the celebration of my birthday, I give you a warm invitation to make sure you come to us, to make the day more enjoyable for me’. The ‘warm invitation’
The products are released from the enzyme surface to regenerate the enzyme for another reaction cycle. The active site has a unique geometric shape that is complementary to the shape of a substrate molecule, similar to the fit of puzzle pieces.
The competitive inhibitor that was added was lactose. We predicted this because competitive inhibitors block and bind to the active site so it will slow down the binding of the desired substrate. An alternative hypothesis that came up was that the reaction of substrate would stay consistent as if no inhibitor was added. The enzyme could reject the inhibitor if it does not fit in the active site, causing the substrate to bind as it normally would. Our results showed that with the addition of lactose, the reaction did slow down a considerably
Discussion The hypothesis created at the beginning of this lab was that PTU is a non-competitive inhibitor and the color of the solution would remain constant after the inhibitor was added due to it changing the shape of the enzyme completely and not allowing the catechol substrate to react with the potato enzyme. During the lab we found that PTU was a non-competitive inhibitor, due to no change in the color of the solution after the inhibitor was added. Our results were conclusive with our hypothesis but our hypothesis was incorrect as were our lab results. According to other studies done on the inhibitor phenylthiourea, it is in fact a competitive inhibitor and our experiment was incorrectly tested.
Return for breakfast followed by a walk which starts in the grassland. As the day starts to heat up the walk will be thickened in the shade of many native tree collection which grow along the river. These include the tabebuia (Tabebuiaimpetiginosa), stronler fig (Ficus luschnathiana), Ximbuva (Enterolobium contortisiliquum) and the carvão branco (Callisthene fasciculate). They then pass through an array of forests all the way back to the lodge to complete the trip. Along the walk you are likely to see helmeted manakins, blue-crowned trogons and black-tailed marmosets.
The control enzyme was able to break the most toothpicks out of everybody and at a faster rate. This shows how efficient a normal enzyme is at starting chemical reactions. The competitive inhibitor
However, after investigation through gel electrophoresis, the three kinds of plants were not identical. This relates to the
Agrippa Hull was a black Patriot who was born a free man. He was born on March 7, 1759 in Northampton, Massachusetts. His mother name was Bathsheba Hull and his father name is unknown because he died when he was an infant. His mother raised him until he was six years old, when she sent him to live with a free black family.
Almost any nature survivalist will know that before eating a plant, to make sure to check for all
The world is a wondrous place. From Amazonian Brown-Throated Sloth to the Saguaro Cactus of the Sonoran desert, there is an existential natural beauty that poets have aspired to capture in words and artists since the beginning of time tried to render it in paint. When people usually talk about exotic plants, the first dot that connects in the head is that of immensely beautiful rainforests of ours. Though that is justified but what is usually forgotten are the wondrous desert plants. Their beauty is accentuated by their incalculable and varied use in these regions.
The answer- plants have developed many important behavioural and physiological methods not shared
This experiment is an attempt to investigate the amount of water potential across root storage plant species. The root storage plant species that shall be used are the carrot and the potato and the method that shall be used is known as Chardakov’s method. Water potential is the tendency of water to enter or leave a cell. Water moves from an area or region of low water potential to an area of high water potential. It is important to note that the highest water potential is 0(the water potential of pure water) and the other water potential values are in negative numbers .
