Organic compound

Food is made up of four types of organic compounds: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. As food is ingested, the beginning stage of the digestive system is the first mechanical process of breaking down of foods in the mouth. Food is chewed, moistened and softened by saliva, and made into a bolus for swallowing. Saliva, made of mostly water, comes from intrinsic and extrinsic salivary glands. These salivary glands are exocrine glands that are activated by impulses sent by the facial

Ever thought you'd see car parts transformed into jewellery? Or clothing? Shoes? Eye wear? Well that’s exactly what the Lexus Fashion Workshop did. The Lexus CT Hybrid is a gorgeous, sleek car. Which is also 90% recyclable, so Lexus decided to dismantle a Lexus CT Hybrid and bring in four fashion designers, and see how they would use pieces of the car, and up cycle them into amazing bits of work. Fashion designer John Patrick, used floor mats made from plant-based plastic, sustainable sound-dampening

Organic chemists use melting points to identify compounds and determine its purity. Two temperatures that need to be noted are the point at which the first drop of liquid appears from the substance and the point at which the entire mass of the solid substance turns to liquid. The range between these two points is the melting point. The melting point is used to determine the purity of a substance because if the substance is pure then its melting point will be higher. Also, if the substance is pure

Gallaccio was born in 1963 United Kingdom of London. Gallaccio” studied at the Kingston Polytechnic and Goldsmith College”. She gained early recognition for her work and participation in the Damian Hirst’s Freeze”. Gallaccio often incorporates organic material in her artwork, such as fruits, vegetables,

The ”H” with this Unknown “Organic chemistry just now is enough to drive one mad. It gives me the impression of a primeval forest full of the most remarkable things, a monstrous and boundless thicket with no way to escape, and into which one may dread to enter,” said Baron Jons Jakob Berzelius. In this experiment we are testing for biomolecules such as protein, starch, lipids and sugar. The reagents being evaluated in this lab are Benedict, Iodine, Sudan, and Biuret. The conclusions are based on

studying organic chemistry arises from me realizing there is immense potential embedded in the chemistry principles to develop tools for the treatment of human diseases. Through my undergraduate studies and research, I became determined in pursuing a graduate carrier, in which I aim to grow into an expert in chemical reactivities and an independent scientist who can invent chemistry and contribute to the development of pharmaceuticals. In my sophomore year, I was intensely drawn to organic chemistry

Nowadays, internet has been one of the most important things in human’s life. It is an unseen bridge that allows people to access the world. A fast flow of information and communication are what provided in internet. Any information we need is easily gained without limited by time and space. Internet is a huge media to allow humans connect each other. Whatever are the events in one part of the world, will quickly be recognized by those who are on the other side. By the development of information

Text to Text connection: The book "Q & A" by Vikas Swarup is about a young boy named Ram Mohammad Thomas who was arrested for answering all twelve questions correctly on the show "Who Will Win a Billion?" (Similar to "Who wants to be a Millionaire?"). He was accused of cheating because as a poor orphan who has never gone to school, how is it possible that he knows about the planets? Thomas takes the audience back into his past before each question is revealed which explains how he was able to answer

Why do we have hair? Long ago in Ancient Greece there was a little town called Oldiron. This little town was ruled by King Alexandros the great. He was known for his heroic feats of courage and bravery. He had fought ferocious centaurs, women disguised as snakes, blood-thirsty vampires, fire-breathing dragons and many creatures considered impossible to defeat. There was one mythical creature that was really quite a headache to get rid of. This monster was Morpheus. It was the perfect weather for

In this fun strategy, students use a “phone,” (usually a rounded piece of plastic, like a PVC pipe) to hear themselves. It is effective for building fluency, since students can focus on their speaking. Additionally, they help to keep students focused on instruction. Students monitor their own reading and the classroom is usually quiet because students are encouraged to whisper (hence the name) so that all students can hear themselves (Cadieux, 2012). This strategy is a simple one: practice. The
