/ Beauty‚ Form and Function: An Exploration of Symmetry 1 TAN JUN RONG U1510605C 1 Writing Exercise – FePO4 Polymorphs Haines et al.‚ A neutron diffraction study of quartz-type FePO4: high-temperature behavior and α-β phase transition Z. Kristallogr. 218‚ 193-200 (2003). Paragraph 1 This writing exercise will be talking about how the structure of FePO4 will change from a low temperature of 294K to a high temperature of 1073K. There is a huge difference in both the cell parameters and atomic coordinates

Structure and function of macromolecules within a living organism ‘Some biological molecules in organisms are small and simple containing only one or a few functional groups‚ others are large‚ complex assemblies called macromolecules’ [1]. The term macromolecule is convenient because the bulk properties of a macromolecule differ from those of smaller molecules. These large chemical compounds have a high molecular weight consisting of a number of structural units linked together by covalent

The Effects of Soccer Headings on Brain Structure and Function Although often overlooked‚ concussions could be one of the biggest injuries a soccer player could front in their career. Many athletes in contact sports focus on showing their skills‚ getting playing time and ignored what the body was telling them to do. Most of the times‚ athletes were brushing off the injuries because they were feeling normal about it‚ particularly in sports like soccer. Soccer was the most popular sport among children

Describe the key structures and functions of a eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell. Eukaryotic Cell (1) There are many organelles in the eukaryotic cell micrograph above. Some of these organelles are displayed in the prokaryotic micrograph and so‚ I have described the shared organelles in the prokaryotic micrograph section. Mitochondria The mitochondria cells break down nutrients which then creates energy. They act like a digestive system. This process is called cellular respiration. The

contains lipids‚ the dye will colour the lipids red. The Grease Spot test can also be used identify the presence of lipids in a sample. Lipids make unglazed paper‚ such as the outside of a paper bag‚ translucent. Phospholipids have a very similar structure to triglycerides. However‚ in phospholipids‚ an additional functional group containing a phosphate group replaces one of the fatty acids. They are the main component of the cell membranes of every cell in

Each cell can be regarded as a metabolic compartment‚ as separate place where the chemical processes of that cell occur‚ the cell is made up of different organelles each specifically designed to carry out their function‚ and this is known as a cells ultrastrucure. All cells have a cell surface membrane; these are made up of phospholipids and make up a bilayer. A phospholipid has a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail which is made up of 2 fatty acid chains; these are arranged is two layers with

Polymers have different structures. They also have different functions. Describe how the structures of different polymers relate to their function? Polymers a large molecules made up of a chain of smaller molecules‚ known as monomers. The monomers that a polymer is made up of decide its structure and therefore it’s function. These monomers are linked and coiled in a very specific manor giving the polymer a specific tertiary structure (an extensively coiled and linked polymer chain caused as a
