is essential for monitoring and maintaining a relatively constant level of glucose in the bloodstream‚ hence the liver is involved in glycogen breakdown and synthesis because these pathways allow the liver to remove glucose from the bloodstream for glycogen synthesis when blood glucose is high and to release glucose into the bloodstream from glycogen breakdown when blood glucose levels are too low. Glycogen provides an additional source of glucose besides that produced through gluconeogenesis which

Experiment # 3 Acetylsalicylic Acid Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to create and isolate pure acetylsalicylic acid from the substances salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. Then one will find the melting point to determine purity. Procedure: Make a hot bath. Weigh some salicylic acid and place in conical vial. Add .480mL of acetic anhydride and a drop of concentrated phosphoric acid. Drop in a magnetic spin vane and attach air condenser to vial. Partially submerge it in

can. It was important to place the metal chimney around the candle so that minimal amounts of heat would escape; having too much heat lost to the atmosphere would cause extra error in the calculations. The assumption made was that all heat released from the candle was absorbed by the water‚ and that none of the heat was lost to the air or absorbed by the can. The small holes at the bottom of the chimney allowed some oxygen to reach the flame‚ since oxygen was required to fuel the reaction. During

Preparation of Fruit Flavors (Pear) Abstract. In this experiment an assigned Ester is prepared‚ particularly n-Propanol. The Preparation was done via Fischer reaction. In this reaction‚ a reflux set-up is required. The reflux set-up was used in the liquid-liquid extraction. After adding an immiscible solution to the compound containing n-Propanol‚ the mixture now will have two layer: the Organic and Aqueous layer. The organic layer is the extract needed and its % yield is computed resulting to
