Chemical Decomposition In Animals

If bleach is used compared to the other detergents, then bleach will work best because it has the most whitening agent. The experiment will work around this hypothesis in hopes of proving it right using both the background knowledge and the experimental data. In the experiment bleach will be applied to 5 shirts along with tide, gain, oxy-clean, and arm and hammer in varying washes to see which detergents remove the stain applied by grape juice the best. *Note only

Enzymes are a very important to the biological process. Enzymes help break down food and are essential in helping convert that food to energy. Enzymes have a single function, which makes them unique and need specific conditions in order for the reaction to occur. Every function in an organism has its own unique enzyme (What are enzymes?). One important thing to know about enzymes is that they are proteins. According to rsc.org enzymes are efficient catalysts for biochemical reactions and they, “speed up reactions by providing an alternative reaction pathway of lower activation energy” (Enzymes).

A dead body that has been exposed to the elements such as water, air, temperature and weather, will decompose quicly and will attract much more insect activity. Colder temperatures slow decomposition, while warmer temperatures rather speed up the process of decomposition. If a body is available to insects, than the insects alone can reduce a fully fleshed body to skeletal bones withing a two week time period. Key factors to consider are: temperature, availability of oxygen, cause of death, trauma, humidity or wetness, rainfall, body size and weight, clothing, the surface where the body was resting, and the foods/objects inside the digestive tract of the

On October 4, 2016 we started a body farm lab on still-birth pigs. We were to observe the decomposition of the piglets because they decompose at a similar rate as human bodies. The piglets we observed were a naked and clothed pig suspended in the air, a naked and clothed pig on asphalt, naked and clothed pig on grass, naked and clothed pig on grass in the dirt, naked pig with a gunshot wound, naked pig with a stab wound, and a naked pig that has been burnt. After observing we were to determine what piglets decomposed faster than the others, what succession of insects were on certain piglets, and many other observations.

Initially when seeing the fetal pigs, I was completely disgusted and figured I could not even look at them in the sink, let alone look at them when they are dissected. As my group pinned down the fetal pig and tied it’s limbs out of the way, I began to get more comfortable with the fact. As the dissection progressed, through observing the mouth and the thoracic cavity on the first day and the abdominal cavity on the second day, I became less grossed out. Observing the organs was interesting and I felt like it was a useful representation of what human organs are like, since it would not be ethical to use an actual human to dissect. I learned the difficulties that surgeons have to endure when performing a surgery. I can only imagine the high-pressure

On December 11, 2008 skeletal remains of a young child were found by an utility worker. By the time the worker had discovered the remains it had went through 5 stages of decomposition. The 1st stage starts when the person dies (Csanyi). The 1st stage consists of enzymes in dead body cells start breaking down tissues which is known as autolysis. While this is going on bacteria in the digestive track start to eat the intestines. The 1st stage is called the fresh stage which can last for 1-2 days, unless of course the body is in a hot and humid area (Csanyi). Also at this stage chemical released start to attract flies. The 2nd stage that the body went through is called the putrefaction or the bloated stage (Csanyi). As the internal bacteria form the intestines start to enter the rest of the body, it causes the body to fill with gasses and as this happens the body begins to swell. The smell that comes from this stage is what attracts egg laying insects most of which are blow flies (Csanyi).

A couple drops of bleach per pint of water can purify the water and make it safe to drink. The dirtier the water, the more drops you can add.

C It will clean your shower, the grout and even the water spout (grout & spout)

Over the course of twenty-eight days, our criminal justice class performed an experiment that contained stillborn and natural death piglets. Thirteen piglets were put into certain scenarios such as: piglets hung in the air with and without clothes, on cement with and without clothes, in the grass with and without clothes, buried underneath dirt with and without clothes, burned with a torch, knife wound, bullet wound, and buried in a box with and without clothes. Over the course of this month, our group recorded on a daily basis the differences that occurred. To our amazement, we were able to find startling evidence as to how these piglets decomposed and the science matters behind it.

My group started this Piglet Body Farm Analysis on October 4th, where we began taking notes and observing them on a daily basis. We started with thirteen different piglets and watched them decompose over a month's time. Each specimen had different death situations. The specimens were as followed; Specimen 0 with clothes – hanging, specimen 0 without clothes – hanging, specimen 1 – clothed lying on the blacktop, specimen 2 – without clothing on the blacktop, specimen 3 – clothed on the grass, specimen 4 – without clothing on the grass, specimen 5 – clothed partly buried, specimen 6 – naked partly buried, specimen 7 – burnt, specimen 8 – stabbed. Specimen 9 – gunshot wound, and then there are two specimens that have been buried in boxes one without

The reason for this procedure is to find a way to silence the. Even though an animal's main way of communicating inter-species is through their barks, people still find a way to take it away from them. The term devocalization is a misleading title, as it leads you towards believing that this procedure fully takes away an animal's ability to speak and communicate all together. The procedure itself was created as a way of decreasing an animal’s sharpness in barking, as well as the intensity and volume. Devocalization is still a newly heard about procedure, which leads the question of whether the option to perform it is just. The main goal of the procedure is to either fully eliminate the animal’s ability to bark, or to partially muffle the sound

Ever since the dawn of man, humans have interacted and interfered with nature. Becoming an apex predator means having to push others out of the spotlight; over thousands of years we participated in nature's little game, we learned, we adapted, we survived! Nonetheless, others have not been that lucky. Due to human's creative ability to adapt, humanoids have spread like a wildfire in a field of dry daisies burning any creature that dared to stand in the path. Humans have helped accelerate the new age of extinction for many animal species regardless of whether nature wanted them gone or not. The human race is still developing; so primitive, yet so astute. People continue on, not fully comprehending

According to Dickerson et al., many animals, including dogs, have loose skin that is beneficial to shaking off water. Through video evidence, it was determined that the maximum deflection of dog fur while shaking is 90°. The average dog’s dermal tissue, all substance between the fur and muscles, has a maximum deflection of 60°, measured by rotating the skin around the dog’s bodies while standing stationary. Through subtraction, it can be deduced that the maximum vertebral deflection is 30°. This extra skin is advantageous, as it triples the amplitude at which the fur oscillates. An animal will shake at the maximum speed possible, in attempts to shed the most water. A greater amplitude will increase the distance over which the fur travels, Δd,

An enzyme is any of various proteins, as pepsin, originating from living cells and capable of producing certain chemical changes in organic substances by catalytic action, as in digestion. Detergents with enzymes may help break things downs down better in clothes than detergents without.

United States of America is the first foreign country that I have been to. I was surprised to find out people there prefer to use washing machine to clean every cloth, when I was living in a campus’ s dormitory for a summer camp. However, in my homeland, China, people are used to washing clothes by hands. For my mother, she always washes clothes by hand. The sad thing is there is chilblain on her hands during each winter and she insists to wash clothes in cold water. I told her for many times that washing clothes in warmer water would alleviate her pain. But she insisted that it was better to wash clothes in cold water because hot water would hamper the right function of soap. I was very confused because in my chemistry class, we only talked about the limit of enzyme laundry soap that it cannot be used at too high temperature. However, I am sure the soap my mother used did not contain enzyme that is special for cleaning certain stain. So a question came into my mind that how does temperature influence the cleaning function of non-enzyme soap? Will the non-enzyme soap clean up more stain if it is used in water at high temperature? At the same time, I want to convince my mother by experiment that soap can clean more stain if we use it at higher temperature.
