Summary Introduction

To determine:

The importance of digestive enzyme for life.

Introduction:

Digestive enzymes are a group of enzymes that are produced by the digestive system of the body. The enzymes aids in digesting the complex macromolecules and breaking them down into simpler and more absorbable form. For every complex biomolecule there is a specific enzyme. For example, protease digests proteins and lipase digests lipids.

Based on your results, which suspect's DNA best matches the DNA found at the crime scene?
In oxidase test with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the cell cultures on the slide turn colorless to be purple after tetra-methyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride (TMPD) is added. In the reaction, OTMPD is electron acceptor O cytochrome c is the electron source oxygen is terminal electron acceptor OH2 produced is electron donor
You will use the following scenario to answer a group of 5 questions. You have isolated a microbe from an environmental sample. The microbe has the ability to perform a new metabolic reaction at a very low temperature, so you are excited that it could be a new species. You have shipped your samples off for sequencing and are now waiting for the results. Out of curiosity (and maybe boredom...) you decide to test your culture for the Catalase and Oxidase enzymes. Upon testing your sample for catalase, you don't see any bubbles; however, you do see a color change to purple during the Oxidase test. What results can you conclude from this? O Catalase-/ Oxidase + O Catalase +/ Oxidase + Catalase + / Oxidase- O Catalase / Oxidase - O None of the above
