Depletion Of The Ozone Layer
1,370 words... portion of the ozone layer is a major concern today. The ozone layer protects us from the harmful rays of the sun; therefore it is imperative that we preserve it. Since more pollutants are produced today than ever before (because of the major increase in the population), there is a major concern that we create less pollutants to help conserve the ozone layer. In this research paper I will give vital information on how pollution affects the ozone layer and methods instituted to help the ozone...

Positive And Negative Conduct Electricity
595 wordsElectrolytes are liquids that conduct electricity. Most need to be dissolved into water or another solvent. Battery's have an electrolyte in them, either as a liquid or as a paste. Liquid electrolytes are used in electrolysis, electroplating, and other chemical processes. When electrolytes dissolve they release positive and negative ions. The released ions carry electric charges between electrodes, in the solution. Cations (a positively charged ion that migrates to the cathode, a negative electr...

Mcgraw Hill Book Hill Book Company
1,599 wordsChemistry has been called the science of what things are. Its intent is the exploration of the nature of the materials that fabricate our physical environment, why they hold the different properties that depict them, how their atomic structure may be fathomed, and how they may be manipulated and changed. Although organic reactions have been conducted by man since the discovery of fire, the science of Organic chemistry did not develop until the turn of the eighteenth century, mainly in France at ...

Piece Of Paper Oxygen Molecules
1,524 wordsIn 1839, a German scientist Christian Schonbein was a professor of chemistry at the University of Basel in Switzerland. In addition to his teaching duties, he regularly performed secret experiments in hopes of finding out which substances make up the Earth's atmosphere. So Schonbein combined and separated a number of liquids and gases. During one of these experiments, Schonbein passed an electric charge thought a glass beaker of water, be noticed a very familiar odor. He first thought it was the...

Because of Galileo's faith in mathematics, he surmised that outside forces must have been intervening in the experiment, forcing the objects to land at different times. Philosophy is written in the great book which never lies before our eyes I mean the Universe but we cannot understand it if we do not first learn the language, and grasp the symbols in which it is written. The book is written in mathematical language He then stud...

Plasma Membrane Permeable Membrane
777 wordsThe plasma membrane is the boundary of life; this selectively permeable membrane allows the cell to maintain a unique internal environment and to control the movement of materials into and out of the cell. The phospholipid bilayer (fluid music model) with specific membrane proteins accounts for he selective permeability of the membrane and passive and active transport mechanisms. Membrane phospholipids are amphipathic. Cell membranes are phospholipid bilayers with the hydrophobic hydrocarbon tai...

This classification is not definitive in including all proteins, since there may well be other examples that span the membrane with different numbers of anchor chains. The structure of proteins varies greatly. The first factor affecting structure is the proteins function, but equally important is the proteins location, a...

Gel Electrophoresis Carbon Dioxide
2,361 wordsPyruvate Decarboxylase There are two functions of the pyruvate decarboxylase. Pyruvate and hydroxythyl converge together while carbon dioxide molecules are eliminated. Than, hydroxy ethyl group transfers and attaches to TPP to the lipo amide from the E 2 component of the complex. The final transfer brings the molecule back to its original form. (Function) The molecular weight of the enzyme was found to be 240, 000 by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Oba). There are 548 amino acids and very si...

Plasma Membrane Alzheimer Disease
950 wordsLipid Rafts A lipid raft is a micro domain within the membranes of cells that is cholesterol-rich. It has been believed since 1972 that, in cell membranes, membrane proteins and phospholipids are constantly and widely distributed as following a fluid mosaic model. Then in 1988, a scientist named Kai Simmons, who worked at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory located in Germany, suggested the notion that there exist micro domains, which are enriched with a lot of different kinds of lipids, s...

Year Old Man Back To Life
2,020 wordsCell Components Let's imagine clouds of cold fog billow up through a circular hatch in the top of a stainless steel tank as a biologist pulls out the lid and its one-foot thickness of styrofoam insulation. As the fog rolls down to the floor, Hay peers into the dark tank, where the temperature is all the time 321 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. It is kept so cold because that is a temperature at which life, normally warm and pulsing with activity, abandons its vital dance and enters limbo - but wi...

Hydrogen Bonding H 2
502 wordsElectron Pair Repulsion Theory: The electron pair repulsion theory states that the electron pairs in the valence energy level of an atom repel each other, and therefore are arranged as far apart as possible. For example, H 2 Our to this theory, different molecules with different amounts of pairs of electrons have different shapes. Shapes of Molecules: Some common shapes of molecules include linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal and v-shaped (bent) molecules. Examples are drawn...

Some cells exist as single-celled organisms that perform all of the organisms metabolism within a single cell. Such single-celled organisms are called unicellular. Other organisms are made up of many cells, with their cells specialized to perform distinct metabolic functions. One cell within an organism may be a...

Carbon Atoms Measuring Cylinder
3,479 wordsComparing Energy Release from the Combustion of Alcohols I am going to investigate the energy released by burning alcohol called the enthalpy of combustion. I will be trying to find out how the number of Carbon atoms the alcohol contains effects the enthalpy change that occurs during combustion. The Alcohols are a series of related organic molecules where each member has the -OH (hydroxyl) group in the molecule. The general formula of an alcohol is: Cn H 2 n+ 1 OH, where n is the number of Carbo...

Nitrogenous Bases Amino Acids
1,451 wordsDeoxyribonucleic acid and DNA DNA Deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid are two chemical substances involved in transmitting genetic information from parent to offspring. It was known early into the 20 th century that chromosomes, the genetic material of cells, contained DNA. In 1944, Oswald T. Avery, Colin M. MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty concluded that DNA was the basic genetic component of chromosomes. Later, RNA would be proven to regulate protein synthesis. (Miller, 139) DNA is the genet...

Rate Of Reaction Bunsen Burner
2,301 wordsFor this investigation I am going to investigate the effect of the concentration of an enzyme, in this case Amylase, on the time taken for the enzyme to fully breakdown the substrate, which in this case is starch. The reason why these two enzymes have to be used is because each enzyme is designed specifically to break down only one substrate as each enzyme is made of a protein that causes it to be a specific shape, in this case the enzyme Amylase can only break down starch to dextrin. I am going...

Darwin Theory Earth Surface
2,710 wordsEvolution, a process of change through time, is what links together the enormous diversity of the living world. A lot of evidence is present that indicates that the earth has had a very long history and that all living things arose in the course of that history from earlier, more simpler forms. In other words, all species have descended from other species and all living things share common ancestors in the past. Basically, organisms are what they are because of their history. Today there are man...

Carbon Dioxide Ozone Layer
1,519 wordsIn environmental science the green house effect is a common term for the role water vapor; carbon dioxide and ozone play in keeping the earths surface warmer than it would normally be. The atmosphere is primarily transparent to infrared radiation from the sun, which is mostly absorbed by the earths surface. The earth being much cooler than the sun, remits radiation most strongly at infrared wavelengths. Water vapor, carbon dioxide and ozone then absorb much of this radiation and remit a large pr...
