Boron: Common In Nature
Boron itself isn’t the common in nature, but Boron compounds are. Boron occurs as borates in borax and colemanite. It also occurs in orthoboric acid in certain volcanic spring waters. The primary source of boron is the mineral rasorite, also called kernite, which is found in California's Mojave Desert.

    3-hydroxy-3methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR) catalyzes the formation of mevalonate in the biosynthesis of sterols and isoprenoids. The activity of this enzyme is regulated physiologically through synthesis, degradation and phosphorylation to maintain to maintain the concentration of the mevalonate-derived products. Transcription and translation of HMGR increase when the concentrations of products of mevalonate pathway are low while on the other hand when the concentrations are high, the intracellular HMGR concentration decreases rapidly. The third level of regulation is achieved by phosphorylation of S872 by AMP-activated protein Kinase, which decreases the enzyme’s activity.…

    To start the experiment two separate titrations were set up, one at room temperature and the other in an ice bath. For the room temperature Borax titration, a saturated solution was created by adding 1.5 grams of solid Borax to 50mL of DI water and a stir bar to a beaker that was stirred for at least ten minutes. To assure that equilibrium was sustained throughout the stirring, it was stopped periodically to assure that there was solid Borax present in the beaker keeping a saturated solution. Next, a burette was filled with approximately 50mL of the .103M Hydrochloric Acid solution (HCl). For the room temperature Borax titrations the…

    In 1896, Becquerel's earlier work was surpassed by his discovery of the occurrence of natural radioactivity. Becquerel decided to investigate whether there was any connection between X-rays and naturally occurring phosphorescence, after his discussion with Henri Poincaré on the radiation which had been recently discovered by Röntgen (X-rays) and which was accompanied by a type of phosphorescence in the vacuum tube. He had inherited from his father a supply of uranium salts, which exhibits phosphorescence upon exposure to light. When the salts were placed near to a photographic plate covered with opaque paper, the plate was found to be fogged. The phenomenon was found to be common to all the uranium salts studied and was concluded…
