Question 1: pH can be described as a measure of acidity or basicity (Alkalinity) of a solution. It is exactly equal in amount to the negative log of the concentration of hydronium(H3O+) ions. Due to the negative log relationship, increased hydronium ions transform to lower pH. When we add it to water, an acid releases hydrogen ion. Hydrogen ions in water unite with the water molecules to form hydronium ions, thereby lowering the pH and increasing the acidity of water. Water exposed to air is…

Cinnamon and Diabetes Diabetes is a group of disorders specified by increased glucose levels in the blood due to problems in the secretion of insulin or the action of insulin in the body. Eyes, heart, kidneys and blood vessels are some of the organs which can be affected by chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes.(Association 2014) Type 1 diabetes also known as insulin-dependent diabetes is the type of diabetes in which the body produces deficient amounts of insulin. People who have type 1 diabetes…

1 Introduction Berberine (BBR), an isoquinoline alkaloid (Fig. 1), is isolated from many medicinal herbs, such as Coptidis rhizome (Coptis chinensis Franch.) and Cortex phellodendri (Phellodendron chinense C.K.Schneid.) (1). BBR has been used to treat microbial infection, diarrhea, and other gastrointestinal (GI) diseases due to its antibacterial, antidiarrheal and strong antidotal properties (2, 3). In recent years, much focus has been put on its other potential bioactivities, such as…

Have you ever wondered what life was like before mobile phones? Today’s generation has carried cell phones around for most of their lives. Let’s frighten the younger generation by telling them what the world was like before mobile phones (Clark). When you arrived at your friend’s house you honked your car horn or went inside to get them instead of making a phone call. Rather than sending Snapchats or following somebody on Twitter, you actually talked to them. People seem to be born with mobile…

Lipid Digestion: Absorption and Transport of Lipids Lipid digestion occurs primarily in the small intestine though a small amount of lipids are broken down in the stomach. Special enzymes called lipases breakdown triglycerides the most abundant lipids in the diet and phospholipids. Lingual lipase secreted by glands in the tongue and gastric lipase secreted by gastric chief cells hydrolyze a small amount of triglycerides into fatty acids and monoglycerides. As chyme enters the duodenum from the…

Equine Squamous Gastric Disease: Causation and Preventative Management Strategies Brittany Bartlett Sam Houston State University ANSC 1119 02 October 12, 2015 Equine Squamous Gastric Disease: Causation and Preventative Management Strategies Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome (EGUS) has been used to describe a wide variety of ulcerative diseases in the horses. These ulcers can be commonly found in the esophageal, stomach, and duodenum mucosa of horses and occurs frequently because horses are…

Extraction of alkali from banana peels is known to depend on such parameters as ashing temperature, ashing time, soaking time and particle size of the ashed sample, soil type and variety. Alkali was extracted from three Nigerian grown banana peels namely: Saaro, Oloosun and Paranta for the purpose of determining the concentration of the extracted alkali. The concentration of the extracted alkali ranged from 0.02 to 0.10mol/dm3. The three varieties of the banana peels gave a maximum concentration…
