Report Extraction of Organic Compounds From Natural Sources: Extraction of Trimyristin From Nutmeg Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to illustrate how a solid natural product can be extracted from its natural source through the use of an organic solvent. Natural products are organic compounds that are synthesized by natural biological processes in plants‚ animals and microorganisms. These products typically occur in mixtures of many different compounds‚ so to

I was asked to discuss a political issue from the perspective of political science. And while this is not meant to discuss the educational system of America‚ I will use the system of education to discuss a serious paradox that affects every citizen in some way‚ the separation of Church and State. Ever since the founding of this country Americans have been involved in what may be the most widespread‚ nation wide debate. This is the separation of Church and State. Now‚ before continuing there must

the Components of a Three Component Mixture The purpose of this experiment was to separate the component of three mixtures sand‚ sodium chloride and calcium carbonate then calculate the percentage by mass of each component recovered from the mixture. The other purpose of this experiment was to show us the students the concepts associated with physical and chemical properties of substances. Me and my lab partner‚ obtained a mixture of a un known proportion from the instructor and then flow the

Determining the accuracy of varieties of pipettes by weighing and finding the density of a liquid Abstract Different varieties of pipettes (P100‚ PR1000 pipettors and a serological pipette) along with a weighing balance was used in this investigation to check the density of an unknown liquid by first finding out what the liquid weighed and plotting a graph of the mass in grams against the volume of the liquid used in micro litres (µl) and finding the gradient of the graph (∆Y/∆X). Most of the standard

carrageenans are extracted from red seaweed and assume a gelatinous structure. [pic] Figure 1.Different types of carrageenan. They differ in structure‚ properties and uses. Production of carrageenan‚ particularly κ-carrageenan can be done in either of two ways. The first method‚ which is considered as the original one‚ involves the extraction of carrageenan into an aqueous solution‚ filtration to remove the seaweed residue and finally‚ the recovery of the carrageenan from the solution. Hence‚

Bioinformatics Leigh Ann Santana DNA Extraction Lab DNA extraction is an important process because the DNA first needs to be purified away from proteins and other cellular contaminants. Cell are needed‚ because that is where the DNA is located. Inside almost every cell in our bodies is a nucleus‚ and inside each nucleus is about two meters of DNA. The following steps are needed to purify DNA from a cheek swab. Collect cheek cells‚ Burst cells open to release DNA‚ separate DNA from proteins and debris‚ and

1.Separation of Singapore from Malaysia 2. Why was separation inevitable? Economic reasons Delays in setting up common market Imposition of new taxes on Singapore Attempts to increase Spore’s contribution to the central government Political reasons Political rivalry Racial politics Effects of the Malaysian Malaysia campaign 3. Details of disagreements – Economic reasons Kuala Lumpur saw Singapore as an economic rival – implementation of common market was delayed as a result. Central government

DNA EXTRACTION In extracting chromatin from the cells of wheat germ there are seven steps to follow. The optimal cell to use would be the polyploidal eukaryotic. Eukaryotes have nucleus membrane-bound organelles‚ while prokaryotic does not. The polyploidal eukaryotic cell has DNA that is held in the nucleus while the prokaryote has DNA that floats freely around the cell. The DNA of eukaryotes is more complex and extensive than the other. Prokaryote is a bacterial cell that

BASIC SEPARATION TECHNIQUES Contemporary modifications of filtration and dialysis use a matrix-based fibrous material that provides a mechanism of separation in many homogeneous immunoassays. These materials may be coated with specific antibody-ligand to foster selection of specific materials or species. Certain labels use magnetic particles in conjunction with strong magnets to effect separation. Basic universally used separation mechanisms‚ outside of those incorporated in immunoassay‚
