Glutamates Lab Report

133 Words1 Page

Glutamate is an excitatory nuerotransmitter that binds to receptors and lets sodium flow into the cell. Arrival of sodium ions depolirizes the membrane to threshold potential, and initiates action potential. From the Exam tables we see that humans table show that it took the membrane a longer time to reach the membrane potential compared to the time that it took in jedi's. My hypothesis is that humans glutamate receptors are somehow not folded compeletely, and making the binding site for glutamate not to be so stable. This in turn is shortening the length of time that glutamate is bound to the receptor and a shortens the time that glutamate receptor is open. This slows down the sodium into the cells and cuses a longer depolarization time

    For most sequences at position 4 and 5 we observe only the nucleotides G and T, respectively. There may be rare cases where other nucleotides may also be found. To consider such observations, we need to do a process called additive smoothing or Laplace smoothing to smooth the categorical data. [9] In this case, we add 4 sequences: AAAAAAAAA, CCCCCCCCC, GGGGGGGG, TTTTTTTTT.

    I need to find the area of rectangle ABCD. I know that ABCD is a rectangle with diagonals intersecting at point E. Segment DE equals 4x-5, segment BC equals 2x+6, and segment AC equals 6x. I predict that To find the area of rectangle ABCD I need to find out the base and height of the rectangle. The first step is to find what x equals. Since I know the intersecting line segments AC and DB are congruent that means when I times the equation 4x-5 for segment DE by two it will equal the equation 6x for segment AC.

    V. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP & RESULTS The proposed dual T-NPC, dual PMSM topology and its modulation and control strategy are evaluated on an experimental setup as shown in Fig. 13. The experimental setup consists of two three-level T-NPC inverters feeding a dual three-phase 16 pole PMSM. The following capabilities of the proposed topology have been validated: 1) balancing DC-link voltages, 2) reduced output current distortion and 3) reducing capacitor RMS current.

    Suppose we have a single-hop RCS where there is one AF relay that amplifies the signal received from a transmitter and forwards it to a receiver. Assume that the transmitter sends over the transmitter-to-relay channel a data symbol ${s_k}$, from a set of finite modulation alphabet, $S={S_1, S_2,ldots,S_{cal A}}$, where ${cal A}$ denotes the size of the modulation alphabet. The discrete-time baseband equivalent signal received by the relay, $z_k$, at time $k$ is given by egin{equation} z_k = h_{1,k}s_k + n_{1,k},~~~~for~~k=1,2,ldots,M label{relaySignal} end{equation} where $n_{1,k}sim {cal N}_c(0,sigma_{n1}^2)$ is a circularly-symmetric complex Gaussian noise added by the transmitter-to-relay channel, $h_{1,k}$ denotes the transmitter-to-relay channel, and

    Using the data provided in each one of these tests it can be assumed that one has done the steps to be able to determine the magnitude and orientation of the charges of the tape in each test, thus, allowing them to apply the same principle to any object they so desired. Their results would line up with the following; that if the two pieces of tape are torn from the same 40 centimeter strip then the tops of both pieces of tape would be positive and the bottoms of both pieces of tape would be negative and that if they would double the tape the attraction or repulsion in general would lower due to the increased density. Their data would also show that two pieces of tape ripped from each other would result in one piece being entirely positive and the other being entirely negative, they would also be able to state that the orientation of how the tape is paired up doesn’t matter.

    The purpose of this lab was to determine the percent water in magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, or Epsom salt. The experimental percent water is determined to be 42.06% in both trials, making the average also 42.06%. To determine this percent water a heating and cooling procedure was used. First, the vials were cleaned of impurities using the lab oven and were not touched after this point.

    However, the differences in their values could be due to the permeability of muscle fibers to other ions present in the solution and in the fiber- Cl- and Na+ ions. These ions have their own driving forces and equilibrium potentials that affect cell membrane potential. In addition, the use of the Goldman- Hodgkin-Katz equation may have provided with a more similar value to the recorded one since this equation looks at the permeability and concentration of Na+ and Cl- ions not just K+ ions.

    As a result, the taste and smell of food are extremely important for the patients who are losing the sense of taste and smell due to the age or disease reasons. In that case, monosodium glutamate and umami can help to improve the health of the patients by improving the tasty flavor. In addition, the increasing of salivary flow can work as a treatment for patients with taste disorders because salivation plays a role in taste sensitivity. Meanwhile, umami taste stimulation by adding more monosodium glutamate in food can simultaneously improves the salivary flow rate and stimulates appetite due to the gustatory-salivary reflex. In overall, maintenance of monosodium glutamate and umami taste function contributes not only to the preservation but also to the general overall health in

    During exercise, the quickest way to obtain energy (ATP) is through phosphocreatine reserves, but it does not last long enough compared to the others. The following metabolic process is anaerobic oxidation of carbohydrates. Blood glucose or glycogen are used to get glucose-6-phosphate and by glycolysis pyruvate is obtained and this is coverted to acetyl CoA for Krebs Cycle, to obtain ATP. In order to maintain a high level of glycogen storage and maintain it during exercise, diet must be high in carbohydrate.

  • Monosodium L-Glutamate Lab Report

    1236 Words  | 5 Pages

    INTRODUCTION Monosodium L- glutamate (MSG) is a major flavor enhancer used as a food additive; its concentrations vary in different foods (Walker et al., 2000). Nowadays, the safe concentration of MSG in foods and its toxicity in human is still a controversial issue (Beyreuther et al., 2007). In animals, MSG at higher doses was demonstrated to be a neurotoxic salt that could alter the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) and damage neurons in the hypothalamic nuclei. The ability of monosodium glutamate to damage nerve cells of the hypothalamus is a pointer to the fact that it may alter the neural control of reproductive hormone secretion via the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal regulatory axis.
