Lay Public (FINAL draft) Benefits of Omega 3 Fatty Acids In the rush to cut calories‚ reduce cholesterol intake‚ and avoid saturated fats‚ many of us have embraced low-fat diets and low-fat foods. But some fats are necessary and "essential" for health. These fats show great promise for fighting the onslaught of heart disease and diabetes‚ possibly even cancer. What are these "good" fats—and how do we get enough of them? The benefits of Omega 3 fats have been researched for quite some time and

is not in the normal blood pH‚ the person can fall sick and it might be harm to the person. The maintenance of blood pH is called acid-base homeostasis. Acid-base homeostasis is a complex synergy that involving lungs‚ kidneys and a buffer chemical in blood and blood cells. BACKGROUND A substance that has high concentration of hydrogen ion in solution is called acid and solution that has low concentration of hydrogen ion is base. Base

The Cause and Effects of Acid Mine Drainage INTRODUCTION Imagine going fishing on a cool Autumn day‚ the trees are all different shades of orange‚ brown and red and the birds are singing their beautiful songs‚ but their is a serious problem because when you arrive at the river all plant and animal life are gone. This is by no means a recent phenomenon. This is due to the effects of acid rock drainage (ARD). This is a problem that has been occurring since ancient times‚ but it was not until

By: Jayquan S Salmond Out of all the amino acids‚ 8 are classified as essential amino acids. The body finds it hard to combine them with other compounds at a normal level to assist in adequate growth. The 8 are known as phenylalanine‚ valine‚ threonine‚ tryptophan‚ isoleucine‚ methionine‚ leucine‚ and lysine. When the isoleucine‚ leucine‚ and valine are grouped they are called BCAA or branched-chain amino acids. 1/3 of the body’s skeletal muscles are made up of BCAA. Skeletal muscles are

Fermented food‚ enjoyed across the globe‚ conveys health benefits through lactic acid fermentation. The fermentation process can transform the flavor of food from the plain and mundane to a mouth-puckering sourness enlivened by colonies of beneficial bacteria and enhanced micronutrients. While fermented food like yogurt‚ sauerkraut and kefir are well-known many other lesser-known foods also benefit from the lactic acid fermentation process. Indeed‚ virtually every food with a complex or simple sugar

Abstract Acid Rain has a lot of effects on living organisms and on the environment. This experiment has two purposes. One is to determine the acidity of rainwater in certain areas in the Philippines. Another purpose is to determine which type of area-urban or rural- is more subjected to acid rain. The experiment was done by first collecting rainwater from selected rural and urban areas. After the collection was done‚ the rainwater samples were tested using a pH meter. The results of the pH test

Experiment 2: Centrifugation Title Centrifugation of fresh milk and Acetic Acid Objective(s): 1. To separate coagulated milk from mixture of fresh milk and Acetic Acid by centrifugation 2. To determine the relationship of speed of centrifugation with the coagulation of milk which separate from mixture. 3. To study the process of centrifugation Introduction Centrifugation is a process which materials suspended in a liquid medium undergo separation or concentrate due to the effect of gravity

Hydrocinnamic acid underwent bromination using N-bromosuccinimide and AIBN. As one lab partner set up the reflux apparatus‚ the other measured the chemicals used in the lab experiment. 2.10 g of hydrocinnamic acid was used. It was observed as white and had a slight cinnamon smell. The amount of NBS was 2.49g and was measured in the fume hood. AIBN was measured at .030 g. 10 mL of acetic acid was also obtained. The reflux apparatus consisted of a 25 mL flask with a stir bar in a water bath. The chemicals

Standardization of hydrochloric acid by sodium carbonate Concentrated hydrochloric acid is roughly 11 M. Pour out into a measuring cylinder about 2 cm3 of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Transfer it to a 250 cm3 flask and make up to the mark with water. Shake well. Put some pure sodium hydrogen carbonate or anhydrous sodium carbonate into an evaporating dish and heat gently over a low flame for about fifteen minutes‚ stirring continuously. Take care not to heat the mass too strongly or fusion
