1 enzyme Enzymes are biological catalysts. A protein compound Energy can reduce the carbon reaction. Enzymes to accelerate specific types of reactions. And the kind of substance that reacts. 2.1.1 catalysis of enzymes E is a catalyst (enzyme). S is a precursor called chop, nitrates and substance P is a product. E + S ---------------> E S ---------------> E + P. Complexometry 2.1.2 Factors affecting the enzyme. 1) What type of controlled…
Proust set to prove a different theory from Berthollet, Proust put his thoughts into action through experimenting with different chemicals. Proust investigated and observed substances and chemicals from 1798 to 1804 (Helmenstine, 2017). Some of the compounds and chemicals that Proust used during his experimental process was an artificial (fake) copper carbonate o natural copper carbonate (Hayes 2012). Proust started out by showing that the copper had a “fixed ratio of elements” (Hayes, 2012).…
The energy currency for almost all living organisms is a compound called ATP, or adenosine tri-phosphate. This compound is made of up one adenine and three phosphate molecules which link together to form a structure like this: Adenosine Notice that the three bonds within this molecule become increasingly longer the farther away the phosphate is from the adenosine. This is to represent the fact that the bonds weaken as the distance between the adenosine and phosphates increases. This is…
Herbicides fall into two broad categories: inorganic (e.g., copper sulfate, sodium chlorate, and sodium arsenide) and organic (e.g., chlorophenoxy compounds, dinitrophenols, bipyridyl compounds, carbamates, and amide herbicides). Because plants and mammals differ in organization and physiology, it might be expected that herbicides would constitute only a slight chemical…
acids that paired up to make nucleotides came together with a plan to send out to all the cells in his body on how to accomplish this task. His meal was full of high levels of trans fats, unsaturated fats, starches, oils, proteins, fats organic and inorganic molecules. Together, all of the molecules and matter moved in Alex’s body with a pace that mimic the speed of light, as if Alex were on steroids. The amount of glucose needed to digest and remove the need nutrients and waste was…
uses, aside from being used to create important compounds, it can be used in flares, incendiary devices, and for smoke generation. Some of it’s military applications are rather controversial, as white phosphorus munitions can cause extreme damage. Some more familiar ways one might have come in contact with white phosphorus are rat poison or…
Surface modification of CNTs with desired organic, inorganic compounds through covalent or non-covalent bonds represents an emerging area in the research on nanotube-based materials. Such modification can result in a significant enhancement of properties and open up a broad range of novel application perspectives…
example Carboplatin or cisplatin) is negatively charged, but when in a cancer cell it becomes positively charged (due to the fact that the chloride ions are replaced with water molecules). Since water molecules are easily displaced, the platinum based compound is allowed to attach to the cell’s DNA, it then forms cross links in the DNA that blocks the ability that a cell has to read code, a necessary ability for the cell to function. The DNA is basically changed and then the cells aren't able to…
all over the world in many different environments. As can be found in water and in soil as well as inside many living organisms. It is a metalloid, meaning it is an element that presents metal and non-metal properties. As exists in the world in inorganic and organic forms. It is used for the production of herbicides, pesticides and wood preservatives, and recently has been used for treatment against acute promyelocytic leukemia (Sun et al., 2014). Although used to treat this cancer, As is a…
In designing our science fair project, many concepts and variables are to be considered. Our science fair project is experimenting on how rust forms so research and prior knowledge is required before we actually conduct the experiment. Having previous information on the topic allows us to be able to alter the variables accurately when we actually administer the procedure. For our project, we are exploring the idea of the formation of rust and how the lack of or extra variables could affect the…
