Introduction: The theory behind the extraction of a solution containing benzoic acid‚ cellulose‚ and methyl orange involves many components pertaining to the fundamental ideas of solubility and polarity. Using the concepts of like dissolving like and acid base reactions‚ a solution of organic acid (benzoic acid)‚ a water soluble compound cellulose‚ and an organic soluble compound methyl orange‚ can be separated and benzoic acid can be isolated by a method of extraction. At the fundamental

There are many different types of relationships and interactions between organisms A wide array of interactions among plants‚ animals‚ and microorganisms occurs in nature. Some of these relationships are characterized by a close physical association among species that continues for a large period of the life cycle. In 1879 German botanist Heinrich Anton de Bary coined the term "symbiosis" to describe these relationships‚ meaning the living together of different species of organisms. Many people associate

This produces a charged atom‚ or ion. An

which the cells are loose and spongy that allow a small amount of gaseous interchange. These areas are called lenticels. 2. Cortex and Pith These two are very similar in character. Their cells are the isodiametric parenchyma cells that have cellulose walls and function chiefly in the storage of food. Collenchyma comprises the outer layer of the cortex. 3. Endodermis and Pericycle The endodermis is the innermost cell layer of the cortex. It is almost indistinguishable from the other cortical

Denisse Gayosso-Lucano BIO 1140 As industrialization and urbanization increased in America‚ plants‚ animals and humans became endangered by the rise in temperatures and carbon levels. It was then that Carla‚ a carbon atom was born at the Sahara desert. At night‚ Carla and her friends went outside to watch the stars peacefully. It had never occurred to them that the night would bring a sudden kidnap. All of Carla’s friends and Carla were attached to two oxygen atoms. Unfortunately‚ Carla fainted

ABSTRACT Enzymes are highly specific and can distinguish isomers of the same molecule. The enzyme invertase specifically catalyzes the reaction of the conversion of sucrose to its individual carbohydrates glucose and fructose. It does not catalyse the reaction of maltose to 2 glucose or lactose to galactose. In this experiment‚ titrimetric and spectrophotometric methods were used to determine the specificity of invertase by determining the amount of glucose converted from the given disaccharides

Identification and Production of Materials ================================ Ethene‚ Polymers and Ethanol ================================ Catalytic Cracking Oil refineries need to balance their outputs of various products (petrol‚ diesel‚ fuel oil‚ etc.) to match the demands of the marketplace. Catalytic cracking is the process in which high molecular weight (high boiling point) fractions from crude oil are broken into lower molecular weight (lower boiling point) substances in order to increase

involving a water potential gradient. The cortex cell cytoplasm has a solute concentration gradient. This moves water symplastically from cell to cell by osmosis. The Apoplastic pathway moves water by capillary action of mass flow through the connecting cellulose cell wall. The endodermis marks the beginning of the central stele of vascular tissue. Both minerals and water must pass through the plasma membrane of the endodermis.

The Identification and Production of Materials 1. Fossil fuels provide both energy and raw materials such as ethylene‚ for the production of other substances. Students Learn To: .2 Identify the industrial source of ethylene from the cracking of some of the fractions from the refining of petroleum. • Ethylene is produced either from natural gas or crude oil‚ which are mixtures of hydrocarbons. One method involves… Cracking: a process by which hydrocarbons with higher molecular
