Glycerol

solid it was chopped into cubes of yellow soap. In addition, lye was traditionally made by the process of pouring water into wood ashes. (Chang, 2014) Triglycerides are fats and oils which can be hydrolyzed in the basic solution to produce soap and glycerol. The main goal of soap is to remove grease and dirt by emulsifying the grease. Soap has both…

Glucose is a sugar cells use for energy. The molecules are broken down to create energy molecules to power cellular processes. Insulin and glucagon are two pancreatic hormones that help to restore glucose to normal levels. Although, normal levels are not always the case when the level rises, actions need to be taken in order to lower it by secreting insulin. Insulin causes the rate of glucose transport from the blood to increase in the cells. This will rise cellular rate of glucose utilization…

Lucy also consume carbohydrates such as berries and oranges, (the process in which the food moves down from the mouth to the rectum is the same as above.) it is first digested mechanically by chewing. The digestion of carbohydrates begins in the mouth by salivary enzyme, amylase, the fruits starches are digested into maltose and disaccharide. As the food travels through the esophagus to the stomach, no significant digestion of carbohydrates takes place as the HCl in the stomach stops amylase…

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…

The technique used in this experiment was serum protein electrophoresis to determine the levels of proteins in cow serum. The objective of this experiment is to perform a gel electrophoresis of cow serum by agarose gel electrophoresis and to interpret the banding patterns produced by the migration of the serum. Electrophoresis is the shift of ions in an electric field in which the protein moves in the gel based on size as well as in electric charge. The electrophoretic mobility of small…

website archaea are characterized by membranes which are “branched hydrocarbon chains attached to glycerol by either linkage” (UCMP-Archaes: Systematics, 2014). These organisms also have a unique characteristic of being able to withstand high temperatures as well as conditions which are acidic. In contrast, the bacteria domain prokaryotes’ membranes are made of “unbranched fatty acid chains attached to glycerol by ester linkages” (UCMP- Introduction to bacteria, 2014). Another unique…

that contains carbon is organic and the compound that doesn’t contain carbon is inorganic. 3. What are the three elements found in all sugars? Ans. Hydrogen, oxygen and carbon. Lipids 4. What are the two main parts of a lipid? Ans. Fatty acid and glycerol. 5. Explain what makes a fat saturated or unsaturated? Ans. The unsaturated fats have at least one double bond in one of the fatty acids. The saturated fats have no any double bonds. 6. How does the basic structure of a lipid differ from…

fatty acid is a long carbon chain and it capped by carboxyl group.fatty acids are like acetic acid but fatty acid does not have long carbo with glycerol lto form triglyceride.fatty acids gives a major role in metabolic fuel and it important to a n chain like acetic acid.if wewant to make normal fat we have to combine 3 fatty acids with glycerol lto form triglyceride.fatty acids gives a major role in metabolic fuel and it important to all the membrane and gene regulator. it used in industrial…

Carbohydrates have the following basic composition. They are molecular compounds made from three elements: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Monosaccharides are simple sugars with multiple OH groups. Based on number of carbons 3, 4, 5, 6, a monosaccharide is a triose, tetrose, pentose or hexose respectively. Disaccharides are condensation products of two monosaccharide units; examples are maltose and sucrose. A disaccharide is 2 monosaccharides covalently linked molecule. Polysaccharides are polymers…

trade name in New Zealand is Amizide [1]. The Drug class of Amiloride is potassium-sparing diuretics, it is a medication that increases urination without losing potassium [2]. The formulation of Amiloride is 10 tablets of 5mg Amiloride with 20ml of glycerol, then adding 0.1% Parabens, finishing with water makeup to 50ml in total. The final product containing 1mg Amiloride per ml [3]. Amiloride is indicated as adjunctive treatment with thiazide diuretics or other kaliuretic diuretic agents in…
