Spectrophotometry Abstract The health benefits of red wine are well known and consumption has been encouraged more over the years because of the populations increasing obesity rates and the inherent complications thereof; including coronary heart disease and high blood pressure. Since the phenolic compounds in wine combats these negative effects and originate from the grape itself the focus of this study was the total phenolic content in red and white grape juice; measured in gallic acid equivalents

Sickle-Cell Anemia is a genetic blood disorder caused by the presence of an abnormal form of hemoglobin. These hemoglobin molecules tend to aggregate after unloading oxygen forming long‚ rod-like structures that force the red cells to assume a sickle shape. Unlike normal red cells‚ which are usually smooth and malleable‚ the sickle red cells cannot squeeze through small blood vessels. When the sickle cells block small blood vessels‚ the organs are deprived of blood and oxygen. This leads to periodic

Blood plasma is the fluid part of blood that contains nutrients‚ glucose‚ proteins‚ minerals‚ enzymes‚ waste products‚ antibodies‚ clotting proteins and hormones. Its role is transporting the substances around the body. Plasma contains 90% water and only 10 the solutes. Erythrocytes (also called red blood cells) are biconcave disks‚ containing haemoglobin that transports oxygen. They transport the oxygen to cells all over the body. The surface area to volume ratio is very large on the erythrocytes

Depending on the cancer that one may have cancer cells have more chromosomes that are scattered which is for why cancer cells are formed. In cell division all living things obtain cells in which come from other preexisting cells. If normal cells are do not divide and make new cells then cancer will occur. In order of all cells to be
