All minerals have four properties: 1. All minerals are naturally occurring 2. All minerals are inorganic (that means non-living) 3. A different chemical formula can be written for each mineral and that formula is constant for that mineral. ex. Galena is PbS- that is it has one lead atom (Pb) and one sulfur (S) atom in each molecule. 4. Most minerals have an unique crystalline shape given the right growing conditions (like in a cave). Compounds are substances that has two or

10/27/15 Vitamin D Deficiency Regarding Muscles Vitamin D deficiency has been tied to mainly bone pathologies. Recent research shows that the effects of Vitamin D span further than just affecting bones and particularly cause muscle weakness. Vitamin D is responsible for aiding in the absorption of other minerals‚ such as calcium. Calcium is a key ligand in muscle contractions‚ thus‚ Vitamin D indirectly can effect muscle contractions. An article published in Nutrition Reviews‚ Vitamin D: an overview

Calculations should be in your notebook before arriving to lab. 2. Provide the structure of vitamin C in its reduced form (ascorbic acid)‚ its ionized form (ascorbate ion- this is at equilibrium with reduced form when dissolved)‚ and its oxidized form (dehydroascorbate). 3. Why do you think that

Why is Vitamin C good for you? Health The most well-known health benefit of blackcurrants is that they contain large amounts of Vitamin C. Vitamins are substances we need to enable our bodies to live‚ grow and reproduce normally. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient - it cannot be made by the human body and we must therefore eat foods which contain it (Bibliography Ref: 13). Because the body breaks down Vitamin C very quickly and does not store very much‚ we need to eat Vitamin C containing foods

discovered in 1852 by a mineralogist by the name of John P. Calcite. Calcite is a carbonate mineral that is usually white or colorless‚ but can have variety of colors due to impurities. It is one of the world’s most important minerals and is the most common. Calcite is one of the softest minerals and can be found in sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Calcite has more practical uses than most other minerals. This mineral can be found in limestone and marble which is makes up most of the Earth’s crust. The

Grains → According to my 3-Day Average Food Groups report‚ I consumed no whole grains. MyPlate recommends eating minimum of three grains of whole grains daily‚ and it is recommended that people of my gender and age eat six ounces per day. I could increase my whole grain intake by eating whole grain cereal (when I do eat them) and using whole grain types when I am cooking pasta or rice. Some obstacles for achieving this goal includes time and money. As a student I lack time to make a trip to the grocery

The rock cycle is very important to us because it explains the way the different types of rocks are formed on earth. The rocks currently visible on the Earth’s surface have moved through transition stages that transformed them from one form into another. The importance of the rock cycle lies in how it forms and recycles the various layers that make up the Earth. To do this‚ the cycle moves through three different stages that produce three different types of rock. Igneous rock makes up the foundation

Vitamin C –A Natural Antioxidant Concept: Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an antioxidant. The amount of vitamin C content in food can be found out by titrating with an oxidising agent‚ e.g. iodine. In the reaction‚ vitamin C is oxidised‚ while iodine is reduced to iodide ions. The endpoint is determined by the formation of blue-black starch-iodine complex when all vitamin C is oxidised and excess iodine is free to react with the starch solution added as indicator. Introduction Vitamin C is an
