Proteins are arguably the most important things that people know the least about. As OpenStax CNX puts it‚ “Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules”. Proteins are “Macromolecules that contain nitrogen as well as carbon‚ hydrogen‚ and oxygen”(Miller‚ Kenneth R.‚ and Joseph S. Levine 48). Macromolecules are exceedingly large molecules that can be made up of several lesser molecules called proteins.

Exercise 1 Polymers – An introduction to Organic Chemistry Group 3 Jude Marchoni C. Tampus Meryl Marie Susan Chua Pearl Pontillas Paolo Pepito Gaia Casas I. Abstract: (Paolo) In this experiment we will be testing what would happen to the polymer when we add borax to it. A polymer is a compound made up of large molecules often in a solid state. Polymers are chemically formed by 100 to 10‚000 small molecules called "monomers". Monomers occur in molecular units or patterns

Substituent alkyl groups are referred to with suffix “-yl”. (i.e.‚ an alkane substituent is an alkyl) 4. If an alkyl group appears more than once‚ use the prefixes di‚ tri‚ tetra‚ penta‚ hexa (2‚ 3‚ 4‚ 5‚ 6‚ respectively) for each type of alkyl group. 5. List the groups alphabetically

Organic Farming versus Conventional Farming With the increase in concern about the dangers of the foods we consume‚ the demand for organic food has increased at an alarming rate. Conventional farming has been around for more than 100 centuries‚ and it is one of the most prosperous industries in the world. Organic farming on the other hand dates back to the 20th century. Sir Albert Howard is considered by many to be the pioneer of the organic movement (Heckman). Although some concepts of organic

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) have become the greatest challenges to the preservation of the environment today. This group of chemicals is used in almost every sphere of life from industries‚ government institutions and domestically by both an ignorant and knowledgeable public. This paper aims to put to light examples of such compounds‚ look at the effect on the general populace and the environment and outline possible remedies to negative impacts. At the same time‚ it is important to look at

Primarily‚ using a mortar and its piston‚ the benzoic acid is ground (crushed) into fined powder. Two milligrams of it is measured and placed into a watch glass by which grams scale. From that point‚ a capillary

They used to camp there until they finally decided that it was time to built a proper home. They were attracted to Frank Lloyd Wright organic architectural concepts and approached him for the project. Wright loved nature as much as the Kaufmann couple and he understood that his clients wanted something very special that only an innovative architect like himself could design. He also knew

Organic Food: Is It Really Better? Americans usually do not think about what they eat. We do not acknowledge whether it is locally grown‚ sustainably raised‚ grass-fed‚ and free-range or pesticide free. Americans fail to realize the negative effects from the harmful pesticides‚ hormones‚ dyes and preservatives that are in our food. Conventional foods are produce that is grown with the use of many harsh chemicals before it is put into a supermarket. (The food we eat conventionally was meant to

Why is organic chemistry important? Organic compounds are used for many different things. Daily life in today’s world would be very hard to live in without organic compounds; in fact life would not be possible without organic compounds. For example‚ most of your body is made up of organic compounds. The food you eat is made up of organic compounds. Even the flavourings and colourings on processed food are organic. The clothes you wear are‚ yes you guessed it‚ organic as well. What’s more is that
