Metabolisms are all the chemical reactions that the living cells and organisms use to maintain life. It also divides into two categories: Catabolism – that breakdown the molecules to obtain energy and Anabolism – that creates all of the compounds that the cells need to function. Nutrition is an important part of the availability of nutrients that utilized in the reactions that either synthesize or catabolize the material that is employed by the cells to produce power. This power is a requirement

What are Enzymes? Enzymes are proteins that quicken chemical reaction in our body. They are found in our digestive system‚ in the stomach mostly. They are there to speed up the process of breaking down food into molecules that provide nutrients to the body. Enzymes are made up of amino acids. The Digestive System: Many people believe that when you eat a meal it drops into a pool of stomach acid‚ and then it is broken down as it goes into the small intestine to have nutrients taken out‚ and then

ASSIGMNET 1 | Research on student difficulties in Understanding Chemical reactions | Misconceptions on Strength of Acids and Bases | | Mariyam Zaina‚ 015482 | | | TITLE & INTRODUCTION Title: Misconceptions on Strength of Acids and Bases Researches shows that students often develops new theories about how the natural world works‚ prior to formal science education and frequently those theories are different to those of scientists(Demircioğlu et al.‚ 2005). Students develop

Alloy - An alloy is a substance made by melting two or more elements together‚ at least one of them a metal. An Example: Examples of alloys include brass‚ bronze‚ 14k gold‚ and sterling silver. covalent bond - A covalent bond is a chemical link between two atoms in which electrons are shared between them. An Example: There is covalent between the oxygen and each hydrogen in (H 2 O). Each of the bonds contains two electrons - one from a hydrogen atom and one from the oxygen atom. Both atoms

Factors Influencing Rate of Reaction Aim To investigate several effects believed to influence rate of reaction‚ concentration of a substance and temperature‚ and observe the effects. Hypothesis Concentration and temperature will both increase the rate of reaction in accordance with collision theory. Introduction The reaction rate or rate of reaction for a reactant or product in any given reaction can be defined as the speed with which a reaction occurs. For example‚ the oxidation of iron

Chemical Reactions The idea of chemical reactions was investigated about two hundred and fifty years ago‚ when a man named Antoine Laurent Lavoisier wanted to know about the importance of chemical changes. Also‚ in the 19th century‚ John Dalton made the atomic theory. Dalton said that bonding atoms together makes new substances‚ which is a chemical reaction (History of chemical reactions). The definition of chemical reaction is‚ “the processes in which substances undergo chemical changes‚ which

Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue using TiO2 nanoparticles Nupur Mittal Chemical Engineering‚ IIT (BHU) Varanasi. Abstract: The aim of this research is to reduce the pollution caused by methylene blue dye in waste water coming from textile industries. For this purpose‚ TiO2 nanoparticles are made as they show good photocatalytic activity in degradation of dyes into harmless products. Synthesis is done using titanium butoxide and 2-propanol. The particles formed were a little larger

‘Rates of Reactions’ lab is to learn how to plan an investigative lab without outside help and to learn about the ‘Rates of Reactions’. This lab will require students to take responsibility for their own learning and use their prior knowledge to aid in the completion of this lab. In the lab prepared below‚ students will be learning about Rates of Reaction with varying concentrations of Alka-Seltzer with water. Hypothesis: I believe that the more water added to the canister with the Alka-Seltzer tablet
