The title of this post is so not really academic but yeah, Dr Wan's rendang daging taste really good! So glad to have the chance to eat it :D
Okay now we enter the academic part. Well we actually proceed our lesson with finishing the topic of intracellular structures of prokaryotes. To be more specific, we continue on inclusions and endospores.
For inclusions, there are
(this is a part of my mind map)
Metachromatic granules - as food storage, found in eukaryotic.
Polysaccharide granules - consist of glycogen and starch, differentiated using iodine.
Lipid inclusions - storage material
Sulfur granules - as energy reserve, derive energy by oxidising sulfur.
Carboxysomes - used for carbon dioxide fixation during photosynthesis.
Magnetosomes - act like magnets, to protect cell against hydrogen peroxide accumulation.
Gas vesicles - called gas vacuoles, for buoyancy.
Next, endospores. Very impermeable to dyes except Malachite green. It enable the organism to endure extreme enviromental conditions, small acid-soluble proteins.
After all done, we were asked to do some quiz on b.socrative.com. However the internet connection was so slow, so the quiz was moved to edmodo.
That's all :)
