PETA to the Extreme Extremism can be defined as; an ideology considered to be far outside the mainstream attitudes of a society or to violate common moral standards. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals or PETA, is a non-profit organization with the motto: “Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment” (“The Issues”). PETA has expressed these extreme tendencies in many of their outlandish campaigns over the years. This evidence shows that PETA goes to…
1. Glycolysis a. Indicate at what stage the compound is officially no longer a sugar, and why? The compound is no longer a sugar is at stage five. This is because the fructose 1,6 bisphosphate in stage four, breaks down from a six carbon sugar to two, three carbon molecules. The first one being dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and the other being glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P). b. Indicate how the glucose enters the cell The glucose enters the cell through facilitated diffusion because…
The compound isolated as white amorphous powder (50 mg) was identified as pulchranin A with ESI-MS in positive ion mode [M+H]+ ion of m/z 256.19 and a molecular formula of C14H29N3O(Guzii et al., 2013). 1H and HSQC NMR data (DMSO-d6) revealed the presence of nine methylene groups, an N-substituted methylene at C-3 (δC 53.2; δH 3.73), a guanidine group showing two singlets…
Part A: Background Information Acids and bases are very common in today’s society, and they can be found in most households. Acids can be found as by-products of air pollution, concrete cleaner, food flavouring and is produced by the muscle. Bases are found in most cleaning products as ammonia or sodium hydroxide, and they also treat indigestion. There are many ways that acids and bases can be defined by their chemical properties. The Bronsted-Lowry definition states that acids are proton…
The SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell line was procured from National Centre for Cell Sciences, India and maintained in (DMEM) (Sigma Aldrich, USA) and Ham 's F12 nutrient mixture (F12) (Sigma Aldrich, USA) in 1:1 ratio. The medium was supplemented with 2 mmol L-glutamine (HiMedia, India), 10% (v/v) heat inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Hyclone Laboratories, Logan, UT) and 1% antibiotics (penicillin/streptomycin). Cells were cultured at 37 ºC in a humidified CO2 ¬incubator containing 5% CO2 and…
acid injection and 3 h before the drugs were administered. The animals were anesthetized and the caudal artery was cannulated with a PE-10 cannula (Clay Adams, Parsippany, NJ, USA) connected to a PE-50 cannula. The cannula was kept patent with heparinized saline solution and stopped with a needle. Rats were allowed to recover from anesthesia and (S)-ketoprofen alone or combined with caffeine was orally administered. Blood samples were withdrawn from the caudal artery at 0 h (before the…
campus or local police, requiring medical attention, and driving after drinking alcohol. Of all the problems listed here, 48% of frequent binge drinkers self-report that they have 5 or more of these alcohol related problems. (Wechsler, H., Lee, J. E., Kuo, M., & Lee, H. (2000). 48(5), 207.). These alcohol related problems are certainly an interruption to a successful college life for the student. Not only do they affect themselves, they impact non-binge drinkers. This is known as a…
disease As expected from differences in routes of elimination, for patients with poor or no renal function, changes in terminal half-life of elimination were greatest for ofloxacin (increased from 8 to 37 h) and moderate for norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and enoxacin (increases ranged from 4 to 5 h to 8 to 9 h) (Table 5), while no changes occurred for pefloxacin (506). Clearance by hemodialysis was 14% or less of simultaneous plasma clearance for norfloxacin (223), ciprofloxacin (708), ofloxacin…
cyclone's maximum winds more than doubled, from 80 mph (130 km/h) to 165 mph (270 km/h), making Matthew a Category 5 hurricane,[1] the first since Hurricane Felix in 2007.[2] Due to upwelling of cooler waters, Matthew weakened to a Category 4 hurricane later on October 1. Matthew remained a powerful Category 4 hurricane for several days, making landfall near Les Anglais, Haiti, around 11:00 UTC on October 4 with winds of 150 mph (240 km/h). Continuing northward, the cyclone struck Maisí in Cuba…
