Why did Mrs. Endo die? On the 17th of January 1995‚ a great earthquake struck the Japanese city of Kobe at 5:40 am. Over 80% of the quake victims died together with Mrs Endo‚ her husband‚ however‚ did not! There are numerous reasons why‚ the aim of this essay is to explain them to you. The earthquake started due to the fact that Kobe is situated among 3 of the Earth’s tectonic plates (The Eurasian‚ the Pacific and the Philippine plates).Stress had been strengthening in the rocks of the Philippine

Animal metabolism consists of the utilization of nutrients absorbed from the digestive tract and their catabolism as fuel for energy or their conversion into substances of the body. Metabolism is a continuous process because the molecules and even most cells of the body have brief lifetimes and are constantly replaced‚ while tissue as a whole maintains its characteristic structure. This constant rebuilding process without a net change in the amount of a cell constituent is known as dynamic equilibrium

Protein synthesis is one of the most fundamental biological processes. To start off‚ a protein is made in a ribosome. There are many cellular mechanisms involved with protein synthesis. Before the process of protein synthesis can be described‚ a person must know what proteins are made out of. There are four basic levels of protein organization. The first is primary structure‚ followed by secondary structure‚ then tertiary structure‚ and the last level is quaternary structure. Once someone understands

Jewellyn G. Diola; ladyjewellyndiola@yahoo.com Abstract Synthesis of 3‚4-dihydro-3-(p-methylphenyl)-1‚2-(2h)-benzoxazine involves the nucleophillic addition of the 1 °amine group upon the carbonyly group of the salicylaldehyde‚ the reduction of imine to amine and the addition of paraformaldehyde to proceed ring closure. The experiment prepared the product through Mannich reaction‚ a multicomponent condensation synthesis between ketone‚ aldehydes‚ enols and amines. Biosynthesis of benzoaxazines

were liquid‚ oily‚ and it had a banana smell. Introduction Artificial flavoring is commonly used in the food that we eat today. For example‚ fruit flavoring is a chemical mixture that mimics a natural flavor as that of banana flavor from the synthesis of isoamyl acetate. Ester is the functional group‚ which is responsible for the distinctive odor and taste that artificial fruit flavoring has. Esters are derived from carboxylic acids. A carboxylic acid contains the –COOH group‚ and in an ester

Insulin promotes dephosphorylation (activation of HMG-CoA reductase) which promotes cholesterol synthesis in which insulin binds to its receptor protein in the liver cell membrane and stimulate irs-1 formation.irs-1 activates HMG-CoA reductase enzyme increasing rate of cholesterol synthesis.(4) FACTORS

Protein synthesis is the process whereby proteins are produced‚ or synthesized‚ in living things according to "directions" given by DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and carried out by RNA (ribonucleic acid) and other proteins. As suggested earlier‚ this is an extraordinarily complex process that we do not attempt to discuss here. Following synthesis‚ proteins fold up into an essentially compact three-dimensional shape‚ which is their tertiary structure. DNA contains the instructions for a cell’s structure
