Student number: 658184 Due Date: 19th Sept 2012 Paracetamol: Preparation‚ Purification and Analysis 1.1 Introduction Paracetamol (N- (4- hydroxyphenyl) ethanamide) or acetaminophen is a widely used analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). It is a relatively safe drug though toxicity has been observed with very high doses.1 according to the British Pharmacopeia (BP) 111 paracetamol should contain between 95.0%- 105.0% of the stated product.2 It can be synthesised by reacting 4-aminophenol

cells the plasma membrane has two primary functions: it serves as a selective barrier to molecules that are penetrating the cell wall allowing water and oxygen to flow easily into the cell but restricting other proteins from entering; secondly‚ the plasma membrane contains enzymes proteins that cause chemical reactions to occur that are vital to the life functions of the cell. Bacteria can

Synthesis The idea of gender wage discrimination being widely practiced in the United States today is a difficult concept for many to swallow. With the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964‚ the realization of the existence of the gender wage gap surprises many Americans. These authors bring to the forefront the idea that there is more to the gender wage gap then just companies discriminating against women and minorities. They sight many sources with defined data

Element: Simplest form of matter to have unique chemical properties. Atom: The smallest particles with unique chemical identities. Nucleus: Center of an atom (composed of protons and neutrons). Proton: Have a single positive charge (+1). Neutron: Have no charge. Electron: Tiny particles with a single negative charge and very low mass (-1)/determines chemical bonding properties of an atom. Atomic Number: Number of protons in the nucleus. Atomic Mass: Approximate number of protons and neutrons

this polypeptide passes into the lumen of the ER‚ the signal peptide is cleaved by a membrane protein & the protein undergoes folding with the aid of BiP and other ER chaperones. The Signal Recognition Hypothesis states that secretory proteins have a signal sequence & contain built-in “address codes.” This plays an important role in this synthesis process because this hypothesis applies to nearly all protein trafficking pathways. 2.

13A – Cells and Movement of Materials P1: Describe the microstructure of a typical animal cell and the main function of the cells components The microstructure of a typical animal cell is made up of various components‚ all of which play a vital role within the body. Each component has its own specific role that it performs in order for the cell to function and maintains the cell membrane. The main components of the cell include the cell membrane‚ cytoplasm‚ the nucleus‚ nucleolus‚ nuclear membrane
