Effect of Molecular Weight on the Diffusion Rate in Substances Nadjah B. Hadji Amer Gladys A. Oliveros Rochelle R. Yaῆez Jan Remon B. Caliguid Group 2- Sec. W78-1 August 14‚ 2013 A scientific paper submitted in partial fulfilment of requirements in Biology 101.1 under Prof. Kimverly Hazel Coronel‚ 1st sem‚ 2013-2014 ABSTRACT The effect of molecular weight on the rate of diffusion was assessed using the agar-water gel test. The agar-water gel set up was composed of a six petri dish

G-protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) are cell surface proteins that relay extracellular signals to the nucleus. These signals can be in the form of light‚ peptides‚ lipids‚ and sugars. Once activated by a ligand at the outer cell surface‚ GPCRs activate their cognate G-proteins that reside on the inner cell membrane. The activated G-proteins then slide along the inside of the cell membrane to activate a cascade of proteins and enzymes that in turn amplify the original message received by the GPCR

1. DNA Nucleotide [pic] Nucleotides consist of three parts --- a pentose sugar‚ a nitrogen-containing base‚ and a phosphate group. A pentose sugar is a five-sided sugar. Deoxyribose has a hydrogen atom attached to its #2 carbon atom (designated 2’)‚ and ribose has a hydroxyl group atom there. Deoxyribose-containing nucleotides are the monomers of DNA RNA Nucleotide [pic] The left picture shows the nucleotide unit of RNA. Nucleotides differ from nucleosides

Distinguished ladies and gentlemen. Acid rain is becoming a widespread problem around the world. The amount of acid in rain has dramatically increased in the past decade in certain areas like America and Europe by 70%. How is it caused? It is formed by the chemicals in the process of burning fossil fuels mixing with the moisture in the Earth’s atmosphere. Acid rain come in two forms‚ wet and dry. Dry deposition‚ a more accurate term for acid rain‚ can appear to be snow‚ hail or other dry particles

Proposal Report: Acid Violence in Bangladesh Background: Acid throwing on women and girls are on the rise in Bangladesh. Of all the gender-based violence directed at women‚ one of the most horrific is acid attacks. Acids are used to disfigure and sometimes kill women and girls. Reported reasons for the acid-throwing attacks include the refusal of an offer of marriage‚ dowry disputes‚ domestic fights‚ and disputes over property.. For the last few years‚ it has been on the rise in

Nitric Acid Nitric acid is an acid many people have come across in life. One may have felt nitric acid when touching fertilizers‚ or using dyes. Nitric acid appears in substances we never thing it would be used in. In fact‚ small contents of nitric is acid is found in raindrops that fall from the sky. Nitric acid‚ or known as NHO3aq is an acid formed from reaction of ammonia and oxygen. Nitric acid is a colourless acid when it’s pure‚ or can be found yellow or red. This acid can be very corrosive

Acid rain is a common term for pollution caused when sulfur and nitrogen dioxides combine with atmospheric moisture to produce a rain‚ snow‚ or hail of sulfuric and nitric acids. Such pollution may also be suspended in a fog‚ or the pollutants may be deposited in dry form. Environmental damage from acid rain has been reported in northern Europe and North America. High levels of acid rain have also been detected in other areas of the world‚ such as above the tropical rain forest of Africa. Acid rain

or are lipid insoluble. In this process‚ carrier protein molecules located in the membrane combine with solutes and transport them down the concentration gradient. Filtration is another type of passive process and‚ unlike diffusion; this is not a selective process. The pressure gradient on each side of the membrane as well as the membrane pore size depends on the amount of solutes and fluids in the filtrate. During filtration‚ water and solute molecules pass through a membrane from an area of

Punished by Acid Several people from the third world become a victim of an acid attack. The victim’s life has changed tremendously‚ which is what the photographer shows with his world-known pictures. On Ebrahim Noroozi’s photoseries you see a mom named Somayeh and her daughter‚ Rana and what acid has done to their faces. Now they most stay by themselves and take care of themselves. It is hard for me to understand some people will walk up to you to pour acid on you. Somayeh looked like an average
