Introduction This report will investigate the six essential nutrients required in our diet. The report will provide the function of each nutrient and explore why they are vital for the body. Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are the most important nutrient for the body as it is the largest possible source of energy. Carbohydrate supplies the body with energy‚ which allows the brain to function more effectively and allows organs to operate sufficiently. When the body has energy this allows each

Lab 3 : Techniques in Microscopy Title : Preparation of light microscope observe cell organisms. Objective : To observe and investigate the cell structure under the light microscope. Introduction A microscope is an instrument used to magnify and resolve a specimen. It is important to know several important features of microscopy which involves magnification‚ resolution and contrast. Magnification is the enlargement of a specimen while resolution is the ability to distinguish detail or the

Mejia Chem 101 Section ADF Lab 4: Weak Acid Unknown Procedure: When testing the acid‚ use only between 0.2 g and 0.3 g for each trial (get as precise a measurement as you can). The general procedure is to weigh out your acid‚ dissolve it in water‚ add a couple drops of the indicator (phenolphthalein)‚ and then add the sodium hydroxide until you note a color change (from clear to pink). When the color change occurs‚ you have added enough base to completely react with the acid (the endpoint). You are

Acetylsalicylic Acid September 15‚ 2005 September 23‚ 2005 OBJECTIVES The objective of this lab experiment is to prepare aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) by reacting salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. INTRODUCTION This purpose of this lab was to prepare aspirin using its basic components: salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. Salicylic acid and acetic anhydride‚ along with an acid catalyst‚ react to form acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and acetic acid. In this reaction‚ the hydroxyl group

organisms are biomolecules. Today in lab‚ a series of tests were ran. Tested were the biomolecules of cells which are lipids‚ sugars‚ proteins and starch. The purpose of these tests were to test for the presences of cellular biomolecules. Some of the things that fat consist of are one glycerol and three fatty acids. Proteins are considered polymers. They are made up of smaller molecules called subunits. Now with proteins they contain a large number of amino acids that are joined together by a peptide

Abstract This lab’s purpose was to test the patterns of percolation in various places. This lab tested how soil would absorb water based on different places. Distance from a group of trees‚ distance from a swamp‚ and different types of soil were tested. From the results collected‚ you can not prove‚ but you can infer that the ability to absorb increases as you go farther away from a swamp‚ and a group of trees. The ability to absorb also increases based on how much silt is in soil. Introduction

simple mechanisms used to convert rotary motion into oscillating linear motion and vice-versa. The first of these is the slider-crank - a mechanism widely used in engines to convert the linear thrust of the pistons into useful rotary motion. In this lab we will measure the acceleration of the piston of a lawn mower engine at various speeds. The results exemplify a simple relation between speed and acceleration for kinematically restricted motions‚ which will discover. An adjustable slider-crank apparatus
