Nutrition is the process of consuming‚ absorbing‚ and using nutrients needed by the body for growth‚ development‚ and the maintenance of life; nutrients are chemical substances in foods that nourish the body. Many nutrients can be synthesized in the body’. Those that cannot be synthesized in the body called essential nutrients-must be consumed in the diet. They include amino acids (in proteins)‚ certain fatty acids (in fats and oils)‚ minerals‚ and vitamins. Nine of the 20 amino acids in proteins

was present. A red precipitate means glucose is present in vast amounts. Food Test 2: Test for Starch – with Iodine solution. Iodine solution is used to identify the presence of starch- a complex carbohydrate. Iodine solution (potassium iodide solution) reacts with amylase – a type of starch – whereby a blue-black polyiodide complex is formed. Method 1) Mix smalls amount of each food samples (i.e.‚ Egg lumen‚ cylindrical piece of potato tuber‚ bread crump and crisps) in different test

AP Bio Lab Report Osmosis and Diffusion Introduction When a substance is released into an area‚ the random movement of its molecules results in a multitude of collisions. These collisions‚ in turn‚ lead to a dispersion of the molecules. The overall movement of the molecules will be from an area of high concentration‚ where there will be more collisions‚ to areas of low concentration‚ where the number of collisions will be much less. This process of dispersion will continue until there is no

Modified Winkler Method for Dissolved Oxygen Determination Tiffany T. Lee Department of Biological Sciences‚ College of Science University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines 1008 Date of Submission: February 17‚ 2011 Abstract In this experiment‚ the Winkler Method was used to measure the dissolved oxygen (d.o.) in a water sample from the pond in the Arch of the Centuries which had the owl statues. Then‚ the amount of oxygen is determined through a series of reaction. Usually‚ Winkler

A miser is ever in want. --Greek proverb Preparing to experiment You will be provided with the following materials: Redox Reactions Reactions involving oxidation and reduction processes are very important in our everyday world. They make batteries work and cause metals to corrode (or help to prevent their corrosion). They enable us to obtain heat by burning fuels--in factories and in our bodies. Many redox reactions are complex. However‚ combustion and synthesis (from elements) are

Chapter 15: • Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. – Ex: Your textbook‚ you‚ your pen/pencil‚ air‚ etc. • Classification systems are used all the time to organize objects. – Ex: The Periodic Table of Elements‚ organizing your locker‚ your clothes‚ etc. • In order to make the study of matter easier to understand‚ scientists have developed ways to classify matter. • The properties of materials can be used to classify them into general categories. – Ex: Pure substances‚ elements

ELECTROLYSIS Electrolysis decomposition of compound using electricity Electrolyte an ionic compound which conducts electric current in molten or aqueous solution‚ being decomposed in the process. Electrode a rod or plate where electricity enters or leaves electrolyte during electrolysis. Reactions occur at electrodes. Discharge the removal of electrons from negative ions to form atoms or the gain of electrons of positive ions to become atoms. Anode

Technetium-99 Technetium-99 (Tc-99m) is used tens of millions of times annually. Approximately 85% of diagnostic procedures in nuclear medicine use this radioisotope. Making it the most common radioisotope used in diagnosis. Technetium-99 is used as a radioactive tracer and is detected in the body by gamma cameras. Technetium-99 is produced by bombarding Molybdenum with neutrons‚ producing Molybdenum-99. This then goes through a Beta decay with a half-life of 66 hours and produces Technetium. Technetium-99
