DNA vs. RNA – 5 Key Differences and Comparison
WEBDec 18, 2020 — DNA is a much longer polymer than RNA. A chromosome, for example, is a single, long DNA molecule, which would be several centimetres in length when unraveled. RNA molecules are variable in length, but much shorter than long DNA polymers. A large RNA molecule might only be a few thousand base pairs long. Sugar.
Essential Amino Acids: Chart, Abbreviations and Structure
WEBSep 26, 2019 — What is the structure of the amino acids? An amino acid’s structure consists of a central carbon atom attached to a hydrogen, an acidic carboxyl group (−COOH), an amino group (−NH2) and an organic side chain (also called an R group). The side chain is unique in each of the 20 amino acids. Amino acid. Abbreviation.
Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes: What Are the Key Differences?
WEBJul 8, 2021 — The primary distinction between these two types of organisms is that eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus and prokaryotic cells do not. The nucleus is where eukaryotes store their genetic information. In prokaryotes, DNA is bundled together in the nucleoid region, but it is not stored within a membrane-bound nucleus.
Cation vs Anion: Definition, Chart and the Periodic Table
WEBAug 15, 2019 — Cation vs anion periodic table. It can be possible to predict whether an atom will form a cation or an anion based on its position on the periodic table. Halogens always form anions, alkali metals and alkaline earth metals always form cations. Most other metals form cations (e.g. iron, silver, nickel), whilst most other nonmetals typically form ...
Active vs Passive Immunity: Differences and Definition
WEBMay 20, 2020 — Active immunity is defined as immunity to a pathogen that occurs following exposure to all or part of that pathogen. When the body is exposed to a novel disease agent, a cascade of signaling molecules and action from the innate immune system results in activation of the adaptive immune system. Production of …
UV-Vis Spectroscopy: Principle, Strengths and Limitations and ...
WEBJun 30, 2021 — Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy is a widely used technique in many areas of science ranging from bacterial culturing, drug identification and nucleic acid purity checks and quantitation, to quality control in the beverage industry and chemical research. This article will describe how UV-Vis spectroscopy works, how to analyze the output data, the technique's strengths and limitations ...
How Subliminal Images Impact Your Brain and Behavior
WEBJan 26, 2021 — However, there is evidence dating all the way back all the way to the 1960’s, which suggests that showing subliminal images improves behavioral performance. Though the behavioral change has been established through multiple publications, we still don’t know how the brain processes subliminal images. Sorin Pojoga, a …
GC-MS Principle, Instrument and Analyses and GC-MS/MS
WEBJun 10, 2022 — The sample mixture is first separated by the GC before the analyte molecules are eluted into the MS for detection. 1 They are transported by the carrier gas (Figure 1 (1)), which continuously flows through the GC and into the MS, where it is evacuated by the vacuum system (6). 1. The sample is first introduced into the GC manually or by an autosampler (Figure 1 (2)) and enters the carrier gas ...
An Introduction to Culturing Bacteria - Technology Networks
WEBNov 9, 2021 — Bacteria are an important part of the production of many foods and are broadly split into probiotics and starter cultures. Probiotics are generally cultured for their benefit to human health, 18 often through our gut microbiome. While probiotics may contain many different bacterial species, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium are common choices ...
Genotype vs Phenotype: Examples and Definitions
WEBDec 18, 2020 — A key difference between phenotype and genotype is that, whilst genotype is inherited from an organism’s parents, the phenotype is not. Whilst a phenotype is influenced the genotype, genotype does not equal phenotype. The phenotype is influenced by the genotype and factors including: Epigenetic modifications. …
