Acid Rain: The Southern Company (A) Case Study #1 2/01/2012 Situation: The acid rain provisions of the 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act were to being in 1995. Currently‚ it is 1992 and The Southern Company (a electric utilities holding company operating in Georgia‚ Alabama‚ Mississippi‚ and Florida) had to decide what actions they were going to take in order to comply with the new regulations. Before the Clean Air Act‚ firms did not have incentives to reduce emissions below the government

Describe the role of the citric acid cycle as a central metabolic mechanism. Explain what happens to the cells’ abilities to oxidize acetyl CoA when intermediates of the cycle are drained off for amino acid biosynthesis. Glucose is a source of energy that is metabolized into glycolysis to pyruvate yielding ATP. To become more efficient‚ pyruvate must be oxidized into carbon dioxide and water. This combustion of carbon dioxide and water to generate ATP is called cellular respiration (Tymoczko‚

A Swiss chemist named Dr. Albert Hoffman first produced lysergic acid Diethylmide or best known as LSD in 1938 (Dye‚ 1992‚ p. 2). Hoffman discovered the drug while trying to synthesize a new drug for the treatment of headaches. He obtained the lysergic acid from the parasitic fungus that grows on rye plants known as ergot. From the lysergic acid‚ he synthesized the compound LSD. He used the compound to test for its pain killing properties on laboratory animals. Being that appeared totally ineffective

To determine if the reaction had gone to completion‚ a Starch/Iodine test was conducted. A change in the strip to a deep blue color would signal an excess of sodium hypochlorite reagent present. An excess is the reagent symbolizes the end of the reaction because there is no longer any reactant left to consume reagent. After the reaction was deemed completed‚ the product was isolated and purified by ether extraction‚ aqueous extraction and evaporation. To determine how sodium hypochlorite acts as

Effect of varying Temperatures on Enzymatic Activity of Bacterial and Fungal Amylase and hydrolysis of Starch Abstract This experiment consisted of setting up a control group of starch in various temperature and then placing both fungal amylases and bacterial amylases in a mixture of starch and placing the solution of amylase and starch in various temperatures of water. After a certain amount of time- different amount of time needs to be used in order to have reliable results- iodine is added
