Organic Chemistry Anti Inflammatory
2,348 wordsWhat would you think if I gave you a drug and said this is going to help you but I want you to know ahead of time that 50 % of the dose is not affected, in fact the drug is 50 % not pure. The idea of that would make you feel you want another drug. The reality of that is that a large # of drugs we give are 50 % impure and the reason is b / c so many drugs we give are racemic mixtures, a 50: 50 mixture of enantiomer's. Most drugs that demonstrate optical activity only one isomer is pharma logicall...

Oxygen And Carbon Dioxide Oxygen And Carbon Blood
374 wordsRespiratory gases-oxygen and carbon dioxide moves between air and blood in the lungs. The structure of the human lung provides immense internal surface that facilitates gas exchange between the alveoli and the blood in the pulmonary capillaries. Respiratory gases move between the environment and the respiring tissues by two principal mechanisms, convention and diffusion. Convention is responsible for movement of air from the environment into the lungs and also for the movement of the blood betwe...

Valence Electrons Carbon Dioxide
328 wordsFor my report, I choose to design a ball and stick model for a carbon dioxide molecule. I used the C as the center and an O on each side of the C. For Christmas purposes I colored the C green and the two Os red. To make the letters, I used white out. The sticks that connect the balls are actually cue tips that I have taken the cotton off of. I used glue to make it stick on better and just punched in the stick. The sticks are suppose to be springs and I tried bendable straws that were cut, but th...

Ozone Depletion Ozone Layer
1,344 wordsThe Earths ozone layer shields all life on the planet from the suns harmful radiation and is extremely important to all life on the planet, but we as a human race are now faced with a very important question. This question is, Is the Earths ozone layer really depleting, and if it is, is it really a threat? There is evidence that less protection from ultraviolet rays will, over time, lead to increased amounts skin cancer, cataract, and even crop damage. With cooperation with over 140 oth countrie...

Three And Four Reaction Rate
859 wordsTitle: Examining Some Properties of the Enzyme -amylase In this experiment a deeper meaning in the catalysts of reactions is studied. Catalysts accelerate chemical reactions without permanently changing the reaction. Enzymes, catalysts in biochemical reactions, are globular proteins which lower the activation energy needed to begin a reaction and therefore increase the rate at which efficient reactions can occur. Proteins (henceforth enzymes) are complex molecules made of amino acids in polypept...

Double Helix X Ray
784 wordsBorn on July 25, 1920 in London, England, Rosalind Elise Franklin was a catalyst to many other scientists in the field of genetics. Using coal and carbon as subjects, Franklin discovered the double helix of DNA, the shape that two linear strands of DNA assume when bonded together. In 1945, Franklin received her Ph. D in physical chemistry from Cambridge University. The next year she went to Paris and worked in the Laboratoire Central des Services Chimiques de Left until 1950 where she concentrat...

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 ...

Dust Particles Blue Light
1,256 wordsExploration of a Natural Colour Phenomenon Why does the sky colour change? To answer this question, one should be aware of the Earth's atmosphere, and light. What is the atmosphere? The sky is filled with air which is a mixture of tiny gas molecules and small bits of solid stuff, like dust (Why Is the Sky Blue? ). The air constitutes the atmosphere, a gaseous shell surrounding the Earth and some other planets. The main gaseous components of the atmosphere are nitrogen (78. 09 %) and oxygen (20. ...

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 And Oxygen Simple Sugars
329 wordsCarbohydrate Structure and Function Carbohydrates are molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They are polymers of the basic units called monosaccharides. Dissaccharides are compound sugars, composed of two monosaccharides, (simple sugars) bonded together. Molecular Structure For example, two molecules of glucose can bond together to form the Disaccharide Maltose. Sucrose and Lactose are other common Disaccharides. Dissaccharides are formed through condensation reactions that result ...

H 2 O Mass Spectrometer
531 wordsAMass Spectrometer Mass Spectrometer A mass spectrometer produces charged particles (ions) from the chemical substances that are to be analyzed. The mass spectrometer then uses electric and magnetic fields to measure the mass (weight) of the charged particles. There are many different kinds of mass spectrometers, but all use magnetic and / or electric fields to exert forces on the charged particles produced from the chemicals to be analyzed. A basic mass spectrometer consists of three parts: 1. ...
