Dna Molecule Von Laue
1,115 wordsIn The Double Helix, a reader can find James D. Watson's first hand accounts of the competitive race in science that led to the discovery of the structure of the DNA molecule. The DNA research Watson and his colleagues took part in demanded knowledge in many areas of expertise, but the most important area was that of X-ray analysis. By creating photographic two dimensional pictures of the three dimensional DNA molecule, Watson and his team were able to analyze these pictures and determine that D...

Mad Cow Disease Amino Acids
1,495 wordsWho would of thought that eating hamburgers, steaks and drinking milk could produce an epidemic disease? These types of food are frequently eaten for their appealing tastes and nutritional values. The discovery of Creutzfeld Jakob Disease (CJD) has been a long and remarkable one. The cause of this disease is a mutated prion protein within the brain that can be either inherited or acquired. These mutations create sponge like holes that destroy the brain. As a result, the disorder gives both behav...

Amino Acids Dna Molecule
1,152 wordsIntroduction Deoxyribonucleic acid is contained in all cells. The structure of DNA makes gene transmission possible. Since genes are segments of DNA, DNA must be able to make exact copies of itself to enable the next generation of cells to receive the same genes. The DNA molecule looks like a twisted ladder. Each "side" is a chain of alternating phosphate and deoxyribose sugar molecules. The "steps" are formed by bonded pairs of purine-pyrimidine bases. DNA contains four such bases the purines a...

Concentration And Reaction Rate

Concentration of a reactant affects reaction rate because there are more frequent successful collisions. Assume a person has two chemicals x and y, which react when put together. If all input variables remained constant apart from concentration then fastest reaction rate possible would be to mix (assuming there isnt ...

1,146 wordsHow the Immune System Works The immune system defends the body from attack by "invaders" recognized as foreign. It is an extraordinarily complex system that relies on an elaborate and dynamic communications network that exists among the many different kinds of immune system cells that patrol the body. At the "heart" of the system is the ability to recognize and respond to substances called antigens whether they are infectious agents or part of the body, which are called self antigens. T and B Ce...

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...

Dna Fingerprinting Nucleic Acids
4,853 wordsBefore the dawn of the 20 th century, the central role played by one complicated molecule in the shape of all living things was one of natures best-kept secrets. (The History 100) DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid), is the nucleic acid found in the nuclei of all cells. It is considered as a gene. (Websters Dictionary 257) Before the year of 1953, no one knew that DNA was going to be the great architect of life (The Histroy 100). It was two intelligent men that discovered natures secret, James Watson an...

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...

1,948 wordsDNA: The Making Lyle Sykes For more than 50 years after the science of genetics was established and the patterns of inheritance through genes were clarified, the largest questions remained unanswered: How are the chromosomes and their genes copied so exactly from cell to cell, and how do they direct the structure and behavior of living things? This paper will discuss those questions and the people that answered them. Two American geneticists, George Wells Beadle and Edward Lawrie Tatum, provided...

Surface Of The Water Hydrogen Bonds
984 wordsWater is the most important substance in our evolution and our daily lives. Without water, life as we know it would not have been possible. This essay will examine the water molecule in order to ascertain how it brought about Earths thriving ecosystem and how important it is to us today. Each water molecule consists of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. The oxygen atom (or the apex of the water molecule) bears a slight electronegative charge while hydrogen possesses a more positive one 1 (f...

Many have mistaken these fullerene's for a new type of carbon. Fullerene's have been discovered in interstellar dust as well as in geological formations on Earth, but they are very new to us. As with many important scientific discoveries, Fullerene's were discovered by accident. The C 60 molecule was discovere...

Carbon Atom Molecular Formula
2,405 words3. 2 Lots of carbon compounds seem to be isomers. What is an isomer? In organic chemistry, there are many examples of different compounds which have the same molecular formula as each other, but different arrangements of the atoms in their molecules, (different structural formulae). These compounds are said to be isomers of one another. Isomerism also occurs in inorganic chemistry, but it is less common. There are two types of isomerism common in organic chemistry: structural isomerism and stere...

Ozone Layer Ultraviolet Radiation
1,027 wordsOzone is an important molecule in maintaining the homeostasis in the environment. Ozone, the molecule O 3, makes a layer in the stratosphere, situated 10 to 15 kilometers from the earths surface. The dioxide molecule, O 2 and Oxygen atom O, collide with each other result in the formation of Ozone, O 3. In this reaction, the molecule O 3 contains an excess of energy. Once the molecule is formed, it is not stable enough to last long. The energy-rich O 3 molecules discards the excess energy by coll...
