Proteins have various functions such as making and breaking chemical bonds‚ transport‚ movement‚ signaling‚ regulation and metabolism (cellular process). Peptide Bonds are important while discussing proteins. Peptide Bonds are covalent bonds that join 2 amino acids‚ amino acids are also proteins monomer. Next are Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates incorporate Carbon‚ Hydrogen and Oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio. They provide

Before this time‚ the atmosphere had a very different chemical make-up‚ high in carbon molecules; unsustainable for life as known today. These prokaryotes

Without oxygen‚ life itself would be nonexistent. Imagine what would happen if wounds did not get better‚ incisions did not heal‚ and burns did not improve. This is where hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) comes into play. Oxygen is necessary for the replenishment of tissues‚ healing of the body and assisting with general ailments. HBOT is used for a wide variety of treatments usually as requested in a medical care plan (Society‚ 1996). In this paper I will introduce what hyperbaric oxygen therapy

Analysis of Oxygen bearing Organic compounds Abstract The Unknown sample in the experiment can be tested to yield results such as 1° (primary)‚ 2° (secondary)‚ 3° (tertiary) alcohols. Tests such as the dichromate test‚ Tollen’s test‚ Lucas test‚ DNPH test and iodoform test would be very useful in determining the type of alcohol that the unknown sample belongs to. In the experiment‚ the unknown sample underwent series of testing to identify what property of alcohol it belonged to and the result

CH201L S.Y. 2014-2015 Analysis of Oxygen-Bearing Organic Compound 2 BS Chemistry‚ College of Science‚ University of Santo Tomas Espana‚ Manila Philippines 1015 Abstract An unknown sample was given along with five standards to test the presence of oxygen in the sample. The unknown sample underwent five different chemical analysis namely Dichromate test‚ Tollen’s test‚ Lucas test‚ DNPH test‚ and Iodoform test. Each test will determine if the unknown sample will have the same reaction as

In the article‚ “Oceans Are Losing Oxygen—and Becoming More Hostile to Life” by Craig Welch‚ climate change is affecting the lives of all kinds of sea creatures. This article explains how climate change‚ and the warming of ocean water‚ has began taking oxygen out of the water. This means that many fish species have shrunk because of this loss of oxygen. The warmer water speeds up the metabolism of these fish‚ which makes them breathe in more of the oxygen. A couple of scientists from the University

HYPOXIA Introduction Hypoxia is simply a lack of oxygen at the tissue level of the body due to a decreased partial pressure of oxygen in the inspired air. Hypoxia is serious‚ because it may lead to death. Diseases of the blood‚ the heart and circulation‚ and the lungs may all produce some form of hypoxia. There are four types of hypoxia: (1) the hypoxic type‚ in which the oxygen pressure in the blood going to the tissues is too low to saturate the haemoglobin; (2) the anaemic type‚ in which

IMPORTANCE OF FORESTS Introduction Trees are mankind lifeline. If they are destroyed‚ there is no way that human beings can survive. From the oxygen that we breathe in‚ the food that we eat‚ to the clothes we wear‚ we owe it all to the trees. Not only this‚ trees act as purifiers of air and receptacles of our waste products. Trees have great economic value too. We get fuel‚ fodder‚ timber‚ medicines and numerous other valuable products from the trees. It is‚ therefore‚ not surprising that trees

When 31 g of phosphorus reacts with oxygen‚ 71 g of an oxide of phosphorus is the product. What mass of oxygen is needed to produce 13 g of this product? 31g + x = 71g 71g - 31g = 40g oxygen This means that in
