(refer to graph 1). The Eriochrome black T indicator was added to the water sample to indicate the presence of calcium ions. EDTA was then titrated against the water sample to form a blue solution indicating how calcium ions are contained. During the test, the pH is remained same by the usage of a pH 10 buffer. It is important to control the pH of the water sample because the H+ ion plays a significant role in chelation. Most ligands are basic and bond to H+ ions through an extensive range of pH. Few
Investigate the Effect of Temperature on Cell Membranes and Membrane Structure If you read a recipe for cooked beetroot it will usually recommend that you don’t remove the outer skin of the beetroot and don’t cut off al the stalk and root if you want to avoid getting lots of red dye in the cooking water. Beetroot contains red pigments called betalains, located within the cell vacuole. Normally the pigments can’t pass through membranes but they leak out when the beetroot is cooked. Aim
mom was pregnant, before losing a child to a miscarriage and an abortion not do by complications. But this time was different, doctors who were of the highest profession recommended to my parents to consider abortion, because I would not take one breath. Nationally recognized Dr. Nadell, diagnosed me with Spina Bifida, a rare disease that affects the spinal cord, disability that varies by degree, of which I had the highest. My parents chose not to listen to those who said I would grow up unable to
nope, I thought, as each letter without the royal stamp brought dread upon me. I just needed this one letter to keep my family safe. Earlier this week, King Blake had made the announcement about the annual Death Match, a plot made by the monarchy to test an individual’s psychological and physical strength. Eternal glory and safety was guaranteed to the winners, which was hard in a town of thieves and introverts. I sighed as the last letter slipped through my fingers and slid into bed. Once school
Capital punishment is one of the most debated topics in the history of the World. It has been implemented and repealed several times by several different countries (DPIC 2014). Capital punishment is the use of the death penalty on someone who has been found guilty of a crime. As of 2013 there are still 58 countries in the international community that still use the death penalty. Of those countries, China had the highest reported number of executions which was in the thousands, the next highest was
cigarettes makes these cilia smaller and move in different ways which makes them unable to remove the build-up of secretions (Lui, 2012). Damage to the cilia is caused by elements in the cigarette smoke for instance carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide and nitric oxide. Several studies have shown smoking is linked to respiratory tract infections and build-up of secretions in a smokers lungs (Lui, 2012). Mucociliary is a self-clearing mechanism which allows the body to remove inhaled pathogens
Carina Salcedo 1339611 ESS 102 A Living in a Mars Colony vs Living Space Station Summary of science fiction story: My science fiction paper will be set in the not too distant future. Pollution and global warming have made Earth nearly uninhabitable and humanity needs a new home. While many look to Mars as the best hope, others feel it poses too many challenges and that humanity needs more than one chance at a new start. These people are building a large space station in orbit around Earth intended
bleeding. Combination of clopidogrel and aspirin should not be used in patient with high risk of bleeding, recent TIA or stroke. Monitor closely if interacting with other drugs can that affect the clotting process. Clopidogrel does not require close blood test monitoring. Clopidogrel might interact with PPIs reducing its efficacy. Consider changing this patient’s PPI to a H2
all other elements. At standard temperature and pressure, two atoms of the element bind to form dioxygen, a colorless, odorless, tasteless diatomic gas with the formula O2. By mass, oxygen is the third most abundant element in the universe after hydrogen and helium[1]and the most abundant element by mass in the Earth's crust.[2] Diatomic oxygen gas constitutes 20.8% of the volume of air. All major classes of structural molecules in living organisms, such as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, contain
molecular weight ranging from 78.6, 251 and 359.2kDa for HCl, sulphuric acid and hot water extracted pectin, respectively (Liang et al. 2012), the low molecular weight of acid extracted pectin was attributed to acid hydrolysis of pectin. In the same breath hand acid extracted chicken pea pectin had molecular weight of 110kDa (Urias-orona et al. 2010). It is worth noting that, the molecular weight of carbohydrate is not easy to determine partly owing to their polydisperse nature, association at higher
