Water enables substances to be transported throughout the body‚ red blood cells for example

Case Study: Urinary‚ Fluid & Electrolyte balance The cardiovascular system and the urinary system are intimately entwined. When the cardiovascular system experiences stress‚ the urinary system can be directly impacted. For example in hemorrhagic shock‚ when the body is rapidly depleted of circulating blood volume‚ the kidneys are often one of the first vital organs affected due to lack of perfusion. The kidneys are dependent on the sufficient cardiac output that the heart delivers. So when the

2-15-11 Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to take spinach leaves and extract the chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments by using acetone as the solvent. The chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments were extracted by using column chromography and alumina was used as the solvent. Solvents of different polarities were used‚ starting with the least polar‚ to extract the certain components from the leaves. They were then analyzed by using thin- layer chromatography. Procedure: The first part

Gatsby Essay In this extract from the novel “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald‚ the corruption and decay of the society is highlighted by the uses of various elements such as conflict‚ setting‚ characterisation and imagery. In first person‚ Nick shows his conflicting thoughts of what he thinks of the party. He feels the party and the people there are vulgar‚ yet appealing. This contradicts the way in which introduces himself – a non-judgemental who in most cases looks over the situation.

Body fluids are maintained at a constant level by several homeostatic mechanisms: Osmosis- is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane known as a plasma membrane. Water is highly polar it is repelled by the lipid core (nonpolar) of the plasma membrane but can easily pass through the aquaporins created by the proteins in the membrane‚ so osmosis is happening all the time as water moves into and out of cells. Diffusion- Is where ions move away from an area where they are

Open ended experiment: Head loss due to friction and pipe fitting in round smooth pipe Introduction To verify that Darcy – Weisbach equation can be used to predict the head loss due to friction with of water through a smooth bore pipe. Apparatus HF 135 Piping Loss Test Set. Summary of theory For water flowing through a circular pipe‚ the head loss due to the friction can be calculated using Darcy – Weisbach equation. H = Where: L = length of pipe between tapping (m) = 1.25m for all pipe

Usually an aqueous and organic phase are used. During extraction the desired compound moves one phase and leaves the unwanted substance behind. Extraction normally has to be done a few times to leave all of the impurities

Fluid Mechanics 3-Aerofoil Lab Report Introduction This report aims to investigate the effect the angle of attack of an aerofoil has on the air flow around it. This was done by recording the lift and drag forces the aerofoil experienced when positioned at different angles of attack. The experimental lift force the aerofoil experienced when positioned at different angles of attack was then compared with theoretical values. An attempt was made to explain any discrepancies

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‚ product of this extraction is called refined or filtered carrageenan. In the second method‚ carrageenan is not actually extracted but rather‚ everything soluble in alkali and water is
