Abstract Our study is entitled “The Feasibility of Aspartic Acid found in Oyster Shells as an additive ingredient in improving the absorbency of commercialized sanitary napkins.” The objective of the study was to extract a protein from the oyster shells to produce aspartic acid which can replace the manufactured polymer found in commercialized sanitary napkins. The significance of our study is that the product is an alternative in producing polymers. It is also environmental friendly; biodegradable

Acid Reflux or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is caused by stomach acid rise towards the esophagus and cause pain in the solar plexus or a burning sensation in the chest. The cause of acid reflux (GERD) is the proper functioning of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). LES is a circle of muscle at the bottom of the esophagus. LES serves as the automatic door opens when food or drink down to the stomach. After the food came in‚ the LES will be shut down to prevent the existing food and acid

What Causes Acid Rain? {2} {2} Acid rain caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere‚ where they mix and react with water‚ oxygen‚ and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants‚ known as acid rain.{2} Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides dissolve very easily in water and can be carried very far by wind. As a result‚ the two compounds can travel long distances where

menace. Because of pollution in the air‚ acid gases from factories‚ cars and homes‚ the rain is becoming dangerous for the life of every living creature. This rain is known as ’acid rain’. WHAT IS ACID RAIN? Acid gases are produced when fossil fuels like coal and oil are burned in power stations‚ factories and in our own homes. Most of these acid gases are blown into the sky‚ and when

DNA is a double helix molecule that contains information that is used to make up a person’s body. DNA controls every aspect of a person’s body from their eye and hair color‚ height‚ and other features. DNA’s specific and unique characteristic can be crucial when solving a crime. DNA can be used to convict a suspect or exonerate an innocent person. When DNA is found it is even more important that is handle properly to ensure proper identification and accuracy of testing.

INTRODUCTION Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions‚ without being used up or changed. Catalase is a globular protein molecule that is found in all living cells. A globular protein is a protein with its molecules curled up into a ’ball’ shape. All enzymes have an active site. This is where another molecule(s) can bind with the enzyme. This molecule is known as the substrate. When the substrate binds with the enzyme‚ a product is produced. Enzymes are specific to their

the effects that acid rain has or does not have on seed growth and germination. The observation gathered from this experiment was that regular rain water that has a neutral pH is a better solution for seed growth. The seeds that were watered with the well water prospered more than the ones grown in the lemon juice solution. The results from this experiment were a little confusing‚ because in the first trial the seeds watered with well water germinated more than the seeds watered with the acid rain
