Lemon Juice Hydrogen Ions
527 wordspH is the measure of H+ (a proton) a concentration of a solution. In order to understand pH, a scale has been designed, this scale ranges from 0 to 14. Anything from 0 to 6. 99 is acidic, a substance that increases hydrogen ions concentration in a solution, such as lemon juice. If the scale ranges from 8 to 14 would be determined as a basic solution, a substance that reduces the hydrogen ions concentration in a solution, an example of this would be ammonia. If the solution concentrate has a pH o...

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...

Richard Nassau Watches Tv Animals
1,017 wordsThroughout my life, the same scene in the television screen registered in different ways. The camera zooms in for the last shot of a lone hyena wheezing his way out of life.

Rate Of Reaction Reaction Rate
1,069 wordsThe purpose of this experiment is to measure the rates of reaction of the enzyme Alkaline Phosphatase with the substrate p-nitro phenol phosphate under varying conditions. The concentration of both substrate and enzyme were diluted and the inhibitor vanadate was utilized to determine whether or not the reaction is substrate or enzyme dependent and to see what type of inhibition vanadate was involved. A class of proteins called enzymes catalyzes almost every chemical reaction in a cell. Enzymes i...

Study Habits One Day
669 wordsAs he walked in, I breathed a temporary sigh of relief. At least I am taller than him! A short wiry man with an almost military gait marched into the room. The hair on his slightly balding head was thoroughly brushed back, his clothes impeccably starched, and his shoes polished so well you could see your own reflection in them. His face seemed hardened by time and experience; he looked bitter, even a little sad. But the most striking feature about his face was his eyes: they seemed to shine with...

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...

H 2 O Carbon Dioxide
854 wordsColours Chloroplasts contain several different pigments the majority of which are chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. Both of these types of chlorophyll absorb similar wavelengths of light, but chlorophyll a absorbs a slightly higher wavelength than chlorophyll b. Neither chlorophyll absorbs much light in the green region of the spectrum thus making it appear green. This can be plotted onto a graph (fig 1. 1). This graph is called the Absorption Spectrum. The Absorption Spectrum is very similar in ...

Civil Liberties Union American Civil Liberties
601 wordsIn March 1925, Tennessee passed a law that made teaching evolution a crime. The state legislature passed the law forbidding public schools to teach the theory taught by Darwin, that humans evolved from lower forms of life through evolution, rather than from a single omnipotent creator as suggested in the biblical book of Genesis. The American Civil Liberties Union was outraged this restriction and promised to defend any teacher who challenged the new law. John T. Scopes a football coach and subs...
