overall health. The purpose of this experiment is to extract and find quantitative amount of Beta-carotene from a carrot sample. The raw product(carrots) was extracted using simple distillation. The purity of the product will be characterized using percent yield‚ thin layer chromatography‚ Beer’s Law‚ and UV-vis. Beer’s law is used because in this experiment we are comparing our extraction of B-Carotene to the Stock B-Carotene. Beer’s law shows that absorbence of light at a specific wavelength is proportional

Fatty acids (FAs) can ultimately be degraded through different pathways which include alpha‚ beta‚ and omega-oxidation. Alpha-oxidation occurs at carbon 2 of the chain‚ b-oxidation at C3‚ and omega-oxidation at methyl end of the fatty acid. The location of each mechanism also differs as alpha- oxidation occurs in peroxisomes only‚ beta-oxidation can take place in both peroxisomes and mitochondria. Omega-oxidation occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum of the various tissues. The importance of the differentiation

of systematic risk (or ‘beta’) is central to the implementation of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) for researchers and practitioners. Markowitz (1952) argued that investors should be concerned with holding efficient portfolios‚ that is‚ a portfolio offering the highest expected return for each level of risk. Sharpe (1964) and Lintner (1965) took Markowitz’s work one step further to develop the CAPM to explain the relationship between systematic risk and expected return in financial markets.

BETA PICTORIS: PLANETS? LIFE? OR WHAT? JARA ASTRONOMY 102 SEC 013 The ultimate question is; Is there a possibility that life might exist on a planet in the Beta Pictoris system? First‚ one must ask‚ Are there planets in the Beta Pictoris system?. However‚ that question would be impossible to answer if one did not answer the most basic questions first; Where do planets come from? and do the key elements and situations‚ needed to form planets‚ exist in the Beta Pictoris system?.
