Conjugated linoleic acid‚ is a form of linoleic acid‚ an omega-6 fatty acid important to human health (Wang and Jones‚ 2004). The CLA is formed by the bacteria in rumen of certain ruminants but not for humans. It is obtained by humans from dietary sources such as beef‚ lamb and dairy products including milk and cheese (Wang and Jones‚ 2004). CLA is an antioxidant‚ anti-carcinogenic‚ anti-diabetogenic‚ anti-atherosclerotic‚ anti-catabolite as well as an immune system enhancer (Belury‚ 2002). Health

DNA is a double helix molecule that contains information that is used to make up a person’s body. DNA controls every aspect of a person’s body from their eye and hair color‚ height‚ and other features. DNA’s specific and unique characteristic can be crucial when solving a crime. DNA can be used to convict a suspect or exonerate an innocent person. When DNA is found it is even more important that is handle properly to ensure proper identification and accuracy of testing. The evolution of DNA technology

The Effectiveness of Phosphoric Acid on Meat Chapter I. Introduction A. Background Of The Study This experiment was performed to find out if the acidity in Coca Cola could dissolve meat. The testing was done by placing pieces of pork‚ chicken breast and salmon into bowls filled with Coca Cola‚ and observing meat for 5 days. Coca Cola is a popular carbonated beverage that is sold in more than 200 countries. Also known as Coke‚ it can be purchased from vending machines‚ department stores and

Experiment 28: The reaction of Butanols with Hydrobromic Acid Pre-lab Objective: The objective of this experiment is to synthesize 1-bromobutane and 2-bromobutane with different catalyst:substrate ratios to determine which ratio is the most economically favorable. Discussion: In this experiment‚ 1-butanol or 2-butanol will be converted to the corresponding alkyl bromide with HBR‚ while using sulfuric acid as a catalyst. The sulfuric acid will accelerate the chemical reaction with being consumed

Weak Acid Titration Abstract: Our method for determining the unknown weak acid was to determine the equilibrium constant K from the molecular weight of the weak acid from our titration data. In this lab the acid Potassium hydrogen phthalate and two unknown acids were titrated. We determined the molar mass of the Potassium hydrogen phthalate‚ for the unknown acids we calculated the molar mass and the Ka values. We used NaOH as the known base for titrating in all three of the titrations. Our

Kong Acid rain on plant -Background information Unpolluted rain is normally slightly acidic‚ with a pH of 5.6. Carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere dissolves to form carbonic acid. Acid rain is rain that has been made acidic by certain pollutants in the air. Acid rain is a type of acid deposition‚ which can appear in many forms. Wet deposition is rain‚ sleet‚ snow‚ or fog that has become more acidic than normal. Dry deposition is another form of acid deposition‚ and this is

But what amount of oxygen is adequate? How can we know the amount of oxygen present in what we consider fresh air? The purpose of this experiment was to determine the percent oxygen typically present in air. The conclusion of the test suggested that
