    The citric acid cycle generates energy from the oxidation of various fuel molecules to acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA). Acetyl CoA undergoes several redox, hydration and decarboxylation reactions to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), reduced flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2), adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and hydrogen ions. The citric acid cycle links glycolysis which produces pyruvate from glucose and oxidative phosphorylation which generates ATP which is used as energy for metabolic processes. The citric acid cycle is catabolic and anabolic. Fuel molecules are catabolised (broken down) to generate ATP.…

    When hydrochloric acid was added to the unknown and known solutions, both resulted in no reaction. This also occurred when potassium hydroxide was added to both of the solutions. Barium chloride was then added to the two solutions, which resulted in a cloudy white precipitate from both of the solutions. A cloudy white precipitate also formed when calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate were added to both the unknown and known solutions. These reactivity tests were conducted in order to establish how the unknown compound would react with acids, bases, and salts.…

    Amino Hydrate was created to meet the body's need to stay hydrated, while sparing that hard-earned muscle. What makes Amino Hydrate unique is that it utilizes key forms of electrolytes and branched chain amino acids, while maintaining optimal concentration levels (osmolarity) to prevent further dehydration. Simply put, most sports drinks actually dehydrate individuals because they are too concentrated with sugars and have less than optimal levels of electrolytes. The combination of branched chain amino acids and key electrolytes will provide the “True Hydration,” growth, and recovery we all need. Hydration…

    Dihydrocodeine is usually utilised for opiate dependency. It may be helpful in reducing severer withdrawal systems, especially in the reduction of the methadone regime, by switching to Dihydrocodeine towards the end of the methadone dose reaches 15 mg. The Dihydrocodeine is a shorter acting drug with less sever withdrawal systems a relatively weak opiate. The Dihydrocodeine is easier for reduction of dosage especially if the 10mg per 5 ml liquid formula is used. This drug is useful if the person hates the methadone, and is a portable substitute…

    Acid, below-normal pH, causes many problems in our world today—from drinks to teeth, from pollution of industry to natural disasters. Acid is a chemical substance that can subdue alkalis, can dissolve specific metals and can turn them into salt, such as calcium, turns red on blue litmus paper, is corrosive or sour-tasting when it comes to liquid, generates pain in wounds, and turns colorless when placed in phenolphthalein which is used as a basic to acid indicator ("Definition of acid in English:"). Alkalis is any kind of substance that can produce OH ions, hydroxide ions, in water, which can also be known as 'basic', or 'basicity' ("GCSE CHEMISTRY - What is an Alkali? - What is a Base? - GCSE SCIENCE."). Litmus is a weakly acidic, organic…

    Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) falls within a drug classification known as hallucinogens, which alter and distort perception. While not addictive, it can lead to anxiety, delusions, and paranoia. LSD can only be produced in laboratory settings, but its main ingredient is ergot, a naturally occurring fungus on some grains, classifying it as a semisynthetic drug. LSD lacks color and smell, but has a slightly bitter taste; it can be absorbed through the skin, taken orally when placed on blotter papers or an assortment of edible objects, or even through the eye when in gelatin form. The drug’s ability to alter and distort perception is due to its manipulation of serotonin, a chemical that relays messages through the brain when released, known as a neurotransmitter (Quigley) (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide 2010) (Schindler, Emmanuelle A. D., John A. Harvey, and Vincent J. Aloyo).…
