Pheromones Pheromones are chemical signals that are used among insects or animals to communicate and to convey messages among species of the same colony. The messages that pheromones convey have to do with behavior and physiological functions. In other words‚ pheromones are hormones that are excreted and act outside of the body. The word “Pheromones” comes from Greek which means “carrier of excitation”. The purpose why animals and insects excrete these hormones is: to convey the message that

Sodium borohydride Reduction of Benzil Introduction: The Purpose of this experiment is for the students to learn how to use sodium borohydride to reduce benzil to its secondary alcohol product via reduction reaction. This two-step reaction reduces aldehydes by hydrides to primary alcohols‚ and ketones to secondary alcohols. In order for the reaction to occur and to better control the stereochemistry and yield of the product‚ the metal hydride nucleophile of the reducing agents such as LiH‚ LiAlH4‚ or

STERILIZATION AND DISINFECTION Definitions Bacteriostatic Agent: An agent that inhibits the growth of bacteria‚ but does not necessarily kill them. Bactericide: An agent that kills bacteria. Most do not kill Endospores. Sporicide: An agent that kills spores. Definition STERILIZATION The process of freeing an article from microorganisms including their spores. By definition‚ it effects a reduction in the number of microorganisms (more than 99.9999% are killed). Methods

polysaccharides. They are the most important source of energy for most organisms. Polysaccharides change color in the presence of iodine solution: Glycogen gives a red-brown color and starch a dark blue–violet color. While simple sugars‚ having an aldehyde group‚ or a ketone group act as reducing agents in the presence of Benedict’s reagent producing a range of colors from green to brown depending on the degree of reduction they exhibit. In a solution of sufficiently high pH‚ sugars can reduce weak

Classify carbohydrates into their respective groups. (Chapter 14) - Carbohydrates can be classified into several different groups. There is general classification where it can be based on the number of carbons present. They can be classified as aldehyde and ketones. The number of sugars present in the molecule can also classify it: mono-‚ di-‚ oligo- and poly- saccharides. 8. Discuss the metabolism of carbohydrates in the body and the mode of action of hormones in carbohydrate metabolism. (Chapter
