Ageing Ageing can be defined as a gradual change in an organism that leads to increased risk of weakness‚ disease‚ and death. It takes place in a cell‚ an organ‚ or the total organism over the entire adult life span of any living thing. There is a decline in biological functions and in ability to adapt to metabolic stress. Changes in organs include the replacement of functional cardiovascular cells with fibrous tissue. Overall effects of aging include reduced immunity‚ loss of muscle strength

BroIn this experiment of the relative rates of free-radical chain bromination‚ we were expected to be able to determine the relative reactivates of the many types of hydrogen atoms involved toward bromine atoms. Bromination is defined to be a regioselective reaction meaning bromine has preference of making or breaking a bond over all other directions that it may have had available. In this case‚ Markovnikov’s rule is revealed to be the case in this situation that states that adding a protic acid

reaction with oxygen. In your cells there are little “engines” called mitochondria‚ which burn food for energy. In the process‚ free radicals are created. Free radicals react quickly with other compounds‚ trying to capture the electrons needed to gain stability (Kaur and Kapoor‚ 2001). When the molecule that has been attacked loses its electron it becomes a free radical itself‚ beginning a chain reaction which cascades resulting in destabilization and disintegration of the cell membranes or oxidation

organisms age. Many studies have been performed to understand more about this phenomenon‚ yet no definitive theory has been stated. Free radical theory has been a popular theory for many years‚ constantly adapting to the new research found about the life of living‚ multicellular‚ organisms. There have been more than 300 theories proposed to explain the aging process‚ yet the radical theory of aging has received as the widest acceptance

Chemistry Issues Investigation Issues Question: “Should the chlorination of water be banned in Australia?" Introduction Chlorine is a halogen abundant in the natural environment‚ typically found in the form of ionic chloride compounds. Once isolated into its elemental form‚ chlorine has a high oxidising potential‚ resulting in its use as a water disinfectant globally. Although water chlorination has significantly improved public health‚ recent studies suggest a correlation between the consumption

In 1956‚ Denham Harman articulated the free radical theory of aging which states that ‘oxygen free radicals that are formed endogenously in live cells result in a pattern of cumulative damage’(9). The theory is also implied that the target of those radicals in the cellular system is random. In live cells‚ DNA‚ protein and lipid are targets for the free radical’s invasion. Damaging any of those vital macromolecules in live cell affects the physiology of the cell and may lead to apoptosis and cell

Effects on Reactive Oxygen Species Abstract Antioxidants are among key molecules for a healthy living. Antioxidants are molecules that prevent damage of cells through inhibition of oxidizing agents such as free radicals. This experiment was aimed at investigating the role of antioxidant on the inhibition of reactive oxygen species. To demonstrate this‚ quercetin was used as antioxidant and its effect on reactive oxygen species examined. RAW 264.7 cells were used
