from the active drug sulfanilamide. Like a canvas that had paint added in steps, aniline is the first step to turn the compound into sulfanilamide. The few reactants used to create this useful drug include a derivative of acetic acid (specifically, acetyl chloride), chlorosulfuric acid, ammonia, and finally hydrochloric acid is added to complete the process. These ingredients are the core compounds to successfully and efficiently create the product…

heartbeat was very interesting to do. The first expectation that Aspirin would slow down the Daphnia’s heart beat was proven correct. The heartrate had a 12% decrease, and this is believed to have happened due to the active ingredient in Aspirin, acetyl salicylic acid. The second drug that was tested on a new Daphnia was Nasal Spray. The hypothesis that the heart rate would stay the same was rejected. It was found that nasal spray actually decreased the heartrate by 9.1%. Works…

because the number of peaks that are present. Each peak represents a different unique carbon in a compound and in aspirin there are 9 so that mean 9 peaks should be present and there is. Also the carbon that is double bonded to the oxygen in the added acetyl group of the aspirin should have a peak at approximately 170-178 ppm, which is present. In addition, there was also a 1H NMR and this helped identify the product because the hydrogen’s of the methyl group appeared at approximately 2.5 ppm,…

of carbon and hydrogen bonds, which are hydrophobic, and a carboxyl acid group at one end, which is hydrophilic. Depending on whether or not there or single bonds or double bonds will determine if it is saturated or unsaturated. In Beta Oxidation, Acetyl - CoA is produced when the fatty acid is broken down…

changes since infusion on 01/03/2017, cognitive dysfunction, headaches, paresthesia, and fatigue. The treatment plan included Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, a CT scan to detect any structural abnormalities, and a referral to Neurology. Curcumin, N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine 600, Milk Thistle, and Simylarin were…

(SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) was performed under reducing conditions to estimate the molecular weight of proteins within a sample. The protein sample was from the previous using anionic exchange chromatography to partially purify N-acetyl--D-hexosaminidase, Lab 3. The molecular weight was determined through the interpolation of a standard curve of proteins with a known molecular weight. The molecular weight of band 1 was determined to be 67,640 daltons and band 2 was 44,420…

When oxygen is not present, fermentation of the pyruvic molecule will occur. When oxygen is present acetyl coA enters into the Krebs/ Citric Acid Cycle inside the mitochondrial matrix and is oxidized to CO2 while reducing NAD to NADH. With each turn of the Krebs cycle, a pyruvate is used and one turn of the cycle produces 3NADHs, 1 ATP, 1 FADH2 and CO2…

NADH molecules are generated during glycolysis which produces four ATP. However two molecules of ATP are used to initiate glycolysis thus the cell has a net gain of two ATP molecules. A chemical reaction converts pyruvate to a molecule called acetyl-CoA. The acetyl-CoA then enters the citric acid cycle which breaks down two absorbed pyruvate molecules, transferring hydrogen atoms to NADH and FADH2 (Martini, Nath, & Bartholomew, 2015, p. 972). During an Electron Transport Phosphorylation (ETS)…

9.1 Catabolic pathways yield energy by oxidizing organic fuels Catabolic pathways and production of ATP Fermentation - occurs without O2, is partial degradation of sugars to release energy Aerobic respiration - uses O2 in breakdown of glucose (or other energy-rich organic compounds) to yield CO2 and H2O and release energy as ATP and heat Of some prokaryotes - doesn’t use O2 as a reactant but it 's a similar process Cellular respiration - usually used to refer to aerobic process Is…

body’s requirement, it will metabolize to glycogen or fat and subsequently used for energy metabolism. If amino acids are to be used for energy their carbon skeletons are converted to acetyl CoA, which enters the Krebs cycle producing ATP. Plenty of acetyl-CoA produced but not used in the energy cycle will lead to acetyl-CoA converted to ketone bodies and lead to ketosis and…
