The plasma membrane is a fluid phospholipid bilayer. The outside of the bilayer is hydrophilic portions of porteins and phospholipids because they are exposed to water. This results in a stable membrane structure. Inside the bilayer hydrophobic portions of proteins and phospholipids because the inside of the bilayer is nonaqueous. the proteins bob in the fluid bilayer of phospholipids. The proteins also vary in structure and function. There are teh integral proteins; transmembrane

Fuel cells have become a favorable future power source because they can convert chemical energy directly into electricity in a highly efficient‚ environmentally friendly manner. Although fuel cells were invented one and a half centuries ago‚ only recently has it become feasible for them to compete with existing energy production systems. Among the various types of fuel cells‚ proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells promise to become a viable power source for transportation as well as a distributed

Carbohydrate: Ethanol from Sucrose Abstract The purpose of this lab was to demonstrate the fermentation process of ethanol from the substrate sucrose. To make ethanol from sucrose two enzymes invertase and zymase were used. Vacuum filtration and fractional distillation were performed to get a more concentrated solution. The density of ethanol was .825 g/mL with a percent composition of 85% pure ethanol. Introduction

Experiment #1 Preparation of Ethanol from Sucrose Based on R. Weglein & C.L> Yau‚ CHEM 203 Experiments in Organic Chemistry II Laboratory‚ 5th Edition‚ 2006‚ p29-32. Statement of Purpose: An aqueous solution of ethanol is prepared by the fermentation of sucrose. The percent alcohol is the resulting solution and the percent conversions of the sucrose are to be determined. Introduction: Sucrose is a molecule containing glucose and fructose. http://faculty.tcc.fl.edu/scma/phelpsj/experiments/ethanol

percentage content of ethanol in 3 samples (spirit‚ wine and a beer). We would be comparing the concentration of ethanol to that of 25%propanol which would act as an internal standard. Method To set up the standards for a calibration curve we would make solutions of different concentrations of ethanol. Using a 25cm3 volumetric flask we would put 10cm3 of 25% Propanol into each one which would act as an internal standard. We would then add differing amounts of ethanol (0.5 cm3‚ 1.0cm3‚ 2.0cm3and

Phat Beets Produce is a volunteer-run organization focused on making communities healthy‚ stable through gardens and farmers markets. Phats believe in supporting small farmers‚ empowering youth through growing and selling food‚ and organizing their communities through garden projects. Phat beets goal is to aim to create a healthier‚ more unbiased food system through providing affordable access to fresh produce. They work to achieve this through the creation of a local food system that allows low-income

The plasma membrane surrounds the cytoplasm of living cells‚ physically separating the intracellular components from the extracellular environment. It also plays a role in anchoring the cytoskeleton provide shape to the cell‚ and in attaching to the extracellular matrix and other cells to help group cells together to form tissues. The plasma membrane helps maintain homeostasis by diffusion and osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane. Diffusion is the process by which molecules

Comp II June 2nd‚ 2013 ------------------------------------------------- Using a Cell Phone While Driving: It Can Wait In recent years‚ a new and extremely dangerous epidemic has plagued our roads. The use of cell phones while operating vehicles is an ongoing controversy that is resulting in more and more deaths each year. Consequently‚ we are now dealing with much more than the occasional switch of a radio station‚ or a casual conversation with a passenger; we are faced with constant preoccupation
