Calcium carbonate

organic compounds and essential to the body. Vitamin A is a resistance to infection, vitamin B helps your body maintain muscle tone, vitamin C, prevents cell damage from free radicals, vitamin D maintains strong bones and also helps the body absorb calcium, and vitamin E acts as an…

formation of stones, sludge also may form, most commonly in the bladder, which is an excess of calcium that has not formed into stones. A sludge deposit results in thicker, discolored urine, the urine may appear white or grey. According to Ms. Brown, some rabbits may get stones, others may have sludge and some may have neither and the reasoning behind sludge not turning into stones is unknown. Even though excess calcium can lead to urolithiasis and sludge there are also several other factors…

Intro: Coral reefs are diverse underwater ecosystems held together by calcium carbonate structures secreted by corals. They are built by colonies of tiny animals found in marine waters that contain few nutrients and deliver ecosystem services to tourism, fisheries, and shoreline protection. Diadema species are common throughout their range and may be found on reef, sand, and rubble, and sometimes in large aggregations. There are several distinct genotypes of Diadema and this paper will talk…

peanuts yield an acid, thus they contain acid-ash. Acid-ash residue is inorganic radicals that form acid ions in the body, causing lower pH making the urine more acidic. Acid urine favors the excretion of kidney stones consisting of calcium and magnesium phosphates, carbonates, and oxalates. It also enhances the effect of some medications used for urinary tract infections. So it can boost the effects of something used against bacteria, but can it kill/prevent bacteria growth by itself? Also,…

The marine environment at Lorde Howe Island was a significant factor for World Heritage Listing in 1982. The island has a combination of temperate and tropical marine species, including coral reef in the near intact condition of the Island waters. During winter, ocean currents at 17 degrees’ surround Lord Howe Island and larvae of many organisms from cool southern parts of Australia are transported to the Island. During summer, the warm East Australian Current sweeps down from the Great Barrier…

nucleus for crystal formation, supersaturated urine, and deficiencies of inhibitors of calculi formation. There are four types of renal calculi, which include cystine stones, magnesium ammonium phosphate stones, uric acid stones, and the most common calcium stones in combination with oxalate and/or phosphate (Grossman & Mattson…

the Earth? The ocean’s make up most of the world’s biodiversity, provide humans with food, and maintain numerous food webs. Coral reefs, mollusks, plankton, and sea urchins utilize carbonate ions and calcium to make their shells. However, the presence of hydrogen ions erodes shells and decreases the amount of carbonate present. As a result, this deteriorates coral reefs quicker than they can replenish themselves. This alters the biodiversity of aquatic ecosystem since coral reefs provide shelter…

acidity of surface ocean waters has increased by 30%. Ocean acidification is dangerous because in more acidic waters, calcium carbonate is more difficult to absorb. This affects coral reefs and is leading to shrinking of the reefs and may eventually lead to the total destruction of reefs. The calcium carbonate dilemma also affects snails, clams, and urchins who utilize calcium carbonate to form their…

This particular lab will focus on separating the components of a ternary mixture, which is a mixture that contains three substances. Both physical and chemical methods are available for separating the components of a mixture. Physical methods use differences in the physical properties of components of a mixture, while chemical methods involve the selective reaction of one of the components of a mixture to form a new substance. In this experiment, five methods of separation will be used:…

Biodiversity of Coral Reefs By: Ganesh Balaji Ecology is a macro-scale science that encompasses all biological life. However, in order to fully understand the depth of ecology, and its significance in relation to life on earth, one must study the biodiversity of the species living in this planet. Although the history of modern human civilizations has largely ignored the importance and complexity of biodiversity, understanding the many layers of biodiversity will provide us with richer knowledge…
