The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize isopentyl ester by an esterification reaction between a carboxylic acid and an ester. Carboxylic esters‚ like isopentyl acetate‚ are normally used to create artificial flavors. In the preparation of isopentyl acetate‚ esterification of acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol occurs. Esterification is an equilibrium shift to the product side using an excess of one of the starting components. In this experiment‚ the excess reagent is acetic acid because it

By reducing the particle size of the shells‚ loggerhead turtles contribute to nutrient recycling in benthic ecosystems by increasing the rate of shell disintegration. Additionally‚ a foraging behavior called infaunal mining has a significant effect on substrate characteristics (Bjorndal 2003). One method loggerheads use to find prey is clearing

The rhabdovirus contains up of a helical ribonucleoprotein core(RNP)‚ and an envelope that is surrounding the viru (CDC‚2011). Eukaryotes have a synthesis process between protein and RNA that forms the ribonucleoprotein. The rabies genome has five protein components: nucleoprotein‚ phosphoprotein‚ matrix protein‚ glycoprotein‚ and polymerase protein(CDC‚2011).
