Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are fats that are required by the human body‚ but cannot be made by the body; therefore they must be obtained from external forces such as food. EFAs are the building blocks of all fats and oils and are required for both metabolic processes and for fuel. EFAs form the main component in the fats carried in our blood stream (triglycerides)‚ fats stored in our bodies and of cell membranes (phospholipids). (Erasmus‚ 1993)‚ (Wikipedia‚ Essential Fatty Acids‚ 2012) Two fundamental

Title: Acids‚ Bases & Buffers Objectives: 1. To understand the acid-base chemistry. 2. To prepare and evaluate a buffer system 3. To measure the buffering capacity of two types of isotonic drinks. Introduction: There are acid-forming‚ basic forming and neutral food‚ however the acid or alkaline properties of a food is unable to judge by the actual acidity of the food itself. For example‚ citrus fruits such as lemon are acidic‚ but they are alkaline-forming when we consume and digest it. Therefore

THERE WILL COME SOFT RAINS Plot Summary The story opens with a clock announcing that it is time to wake up and a hint of premonition that perhaps no one will. In the kitchen‚ the stove cooks breakfast and a voice from the ceiling announces the setting: Allendale‚ California‚ on August 4‚ 2026. The automated house prepares itself for the day‚ but its inhabitants have not responded to several wake up calls‚ breakfast‚ the weather box‚ or the waiting car. The robotic mice finish cleaning the house

Experiment #7: Acids‚ Bases and Salts Mabag‚ Viannery D.‚ Mangune‚ Paolo D. Chem 14.1‚ MAB1‚ Ms. Angelyn del Rosario March 8‚ 2010 I. Abstract The experiment allowed students to explore different electrolytes and classify them into acids‚ bases and salts by using different indicators or by measuring the pH levels of each. The experiment also helped students classify different substances through their conductivity properties. The preparation of a 1 M stock solution from NaOH pellets diluted to a

the way society is today‚ the only well-paying jobs are those that are often undesirable or require a higher education that isn’t affordable for most people. Gray Whisnant‚ an opinion columnist for The Cavalier Daily‚ states in his article “Make It Rain” that inducing a UBI (Universal Basic Income) will solve not only poverty dilemmas‚ but also resolve other job-related problems. A universal basic income is a regular salary that comes from either the government or social security that is paid whether

Ethanoic Acid Advantages: Ethanoic acid is non-toxic and is a weak acid‚ meaning it will not do any damage to most surfaces as it does not corrode or bind to other metals‚ therefore can be easily removed through washing or rinsing it. Disadvantages: Ethanoic Acid is the slowest de-scaler of the three acids‚ and is therefore the least effective. It also may cause an unpleasant smell‚ and can have a negative effect on the taste of coffee meaning one would need to spend longer time rinsing and cleaning

non-essential amino acids‚ amino acid remodeling‚ and conversion of non-amino acid carbon skeletons into amino acids and other derivatives that contain nitrogen. However‚ the liver is the major site of nitrogen metabolism in the body. In times of dietary surplus‚ the potentially toxic nitrogen of amino acids is eliminated via transaminations‚ deamination‚ and urea formation; the carbon skeletons are generally conserved as carbohydrate‚ via gluconeogenesis‚ or as fatty acid via fatty acid synthesis pathways

Recrystallization of Benzoic Acid Objective To purify benzoic acid by recrystallization and gain experience with a basic organic laboratory techniques. Background Products of chemical reactions are often contaminated with impurities. One method for purifying chemicals‚ recrystallization‚ takes advantage of the differences in the solubilities of the desired products and the impurities and the tendency for the slow formation of crystals to exclude impurities from the crystalline solid.
