Why is water important for living organisms? Water is very important in all living organisms‚ it is vital for many different things. Around 70% of our body weight is due to water. The quantity is high in organs such as lungs and brain and fluids such as blood‚ lymph‚ saliva and secretions by the organs of the digestive system. First of all water is vital in the regulation of body temperature to depending on the temperature mammals will alter the amount they sweat. If they are to warm the amount

tests that were carried out to help identify them‚ these were: Iodine Test‚ Solubility in Water‚ Benedict’s test‚ Acid Hydrolysis‚ Barfoed test and Diastix test. Aim The aim of the experiment which was carried out was to identify the unknown carbohydrates by subjecting them to a series of biochemical tests. The tests were as follows: Iodine‚ Solubility‚ Benedict’s‚ Acid Hydrolysis‚ Diastix and Barfoed test. Methods There was 1g of each solid carbohydrate contained in bottles labelled A-F‚ 10ml

but inhibits its hydrolysis (and thus its transformation into ES-diol ) susceptiblement by more effective adsorption phenomenon. It is observed in this case 89.45% α + β O disappeared for 33.92% of ES-diol product‚ 56% of ES α + β missing. However‚ by amending formate (carbon source and electron) to medium (one obtains E-Sh-Ox-f)‚ the production rate in ES-diol after 14 days of incubation reaches 81.93 % to 93.31% α + β

Kinetics of an SN1 reaction: the effect of solvent on rate Object The purpose of this experiment is to determine the rate of hydrolysis in acetone/water (50/50 v/v and 60/40 v/v). Background and Theory An SN1 reaction of tert-butyl chloride takes place in two steps. First‚ the Alkyl Halide will leave the molecule. In this step the bond is breaking‚ which takes a longer amount of time‚ so it will determine the rate of the reaction. As a result‚ it forms a tertiary carbocation‚ since this

Separating The Components of “Panacetin” Observations Most natural products and many commercial preparations are mixtures containing a number of different substances. To obtain a pure compound from such a mixture‚ you must separate the desired compound from the other components of the mixture by taking advantage of differences in their physical and chemical properties. Acidic or basic substances are often converted to water-soluble salts‚ which can then be separated from the water-insoluble

though some drug metabolites are pharmacologically in active status. Inactive substance which has a metabolite that is active is referred to as a prodrug. Drugs are metabolized by the following processes; reduction‚ oxidation‚ conjugation‚ hydration‚ hydrolysis‚ condensation and isomerization. All these processes make the excretion of drugs easier from the body like that of a human being. For metabolism to occur‚ enzymes must be present. Enzymes are present in body tissues but they are concentrated in

Introduction: Being able to identify a particular bacterial species is important. It is very useful in knowing its risk of toxicity to humans or animals‚ its resistance or susceptibility to antibiotics‚ and determining how to control its growth or kill it altogether. The purpose of these procedures is to discovery the identity of an unknown microbe by observing its reactions to a barrage of chemical and physical tests. Different microorganisms react in different ways‚ due to their function‚ digestibility
