Sept 27‚ 2010 Chapter 4 * With four valence electrons‚ carbon can form four covalent bonds with a variety of atoms * This tetra valence makes large‚ complex molecules possible * Fundamental groups: Alkanes and Alkenes * The electron configuration of carbon gives it covalent compatibility with many different elements * The valences of carbon and its most frequent partners (hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ and nitrogen) are the “building code” that governs the architecture of living

2. a) The mouth is the beginning process it is located on your face. From the mouth it goes to the esophagus which is located down the throat the esophagus carries the food down to the stomach which is located in front of the liver. Stomach breaks down food and then enters the duodenum which is the first part of the small intestine. The center of your small intestine is right behind your belly button. Then the large intestine is located in the abdominal cavity. Then the anus is the rectum. b)

substances such as alcohol or chloroform (Mandal‚ n.d.). Lipid molecules are stored in adipose‚ or fat tissue‚ and can be broken down in our bodies to form an energy called ATP. To do so‚ the lipid molecule is dissected into its base pieces‚ glycerol and fatty acids. Each of the fatty acids is then broken down into two-carbon pieces and acetyl CoA is formed from each carbon piece. Each acetyl CoA molecule enters into a series of chemical reactions called the citric acid cycle and ultimately

The Story of a Cheese Sandwich. A cheese sandwich is made up of – well‚ bread and cheese. The bread’s made of carbohydrates and fibre and the cheese of fat‚ protein and calcium. First the sandwich is chewed with our teeth; the incisor teeth and canine teeth bite it into chunks. The premolar and molar’s grind the chunks of food into much smaller pieces. Saliva’s produced that helps the food become a paste. Here‚ the amylase enzymes turn the starch molecules (from the bread) into maltose – which

Introduction A. Background of the study Due to the overwhelming demand of plastic bag production and its effects on our environment‚ our landfills are crammed with these non biodegradable materials. Substances used in the manufacturing brought forth various harmful chemicals which worsen over time. As the destructive compounds such as Chloroflourocarbon were introduced‚ the complete deprivation of the Ozone Layer starts. However‚ scientists and nature preservers alike managed to overthrow this
