Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit signals across a synapse‚ a structure that permits to pass electrical or chemical signal to another cell from one neuron to another. Neurotransmitters are synthesized from converting substances that are readily available to the body such as amino acids‚ which are available from food and only need some converting into transmitters. Neurotransmitters crucial to daily life and functions. Scientists are uncertain exactly how many Neurotransmitters there are

Research The Chemical name for Baking Soda: Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. The molecular formula of sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3. What Baking Powder contains: Baking powder is a raising agent that is commonly used in cake-making. It is made from an alkali- bicarbonate of soda‚ and an acid- cream of tartar‚ plus a filler like corn flour or rice flour which absorbs moisture. Baking powder is a mixture of leavening agents (baking soda‚ acid salts) and inert ingredients (cornstarch‚ calcium

EXPERIMENT 4B: THE MENDELEEV LAB OF 1869 Materials: 30 element cards‚ periodic table Aim: How can we identify elements based on their propeties? Background: Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev is generally credited as being the first chemist to observe patterns emerge when the elements are arranged according to their properties. Mendeleev’s arrangement of the elements was unique because he left blank spaces for elements that he claimed were undiscovered as of 1869. Mendeleev was so confident

Reaction Essay: The Corporation The documentary The Corporation‚ directed by Jennifer Abbott and Mark Achbar and produced in 2004‚ although bias‚ opens many doors for discussion in regard to capitalism and the role of corporations in our lives. I found the documentary to be presented professionally‚ and filled with legitimate facts more so than extreme opinion. The documentary truly outlines the "all-pervasive" role the corporation has taken as the "world’s dominant institution". The film opens

Assessing Sulphur Dioxide in Wine by Titration Procedure 1. Transfer 20.0 mL of wine using a pipette to each of three 250 mL conical flasks. 2. To each flask add about 12 mL of 1 M sodium hydroxide solution and allow the flasks to stand for 15 minutes. This releases the SO2 bound in complex compounds in the wine. 3. Fill a burette with standard iodine solution. Record the initial burette reading and the concentration of the solution. 4. To one flask‚ add about 10 mL of 2 M sulfuric acid
