Inorganic compound

origins of life have arisen, from new evidence found from these vents, that early life could have begun from hydrothermal vents. It has been theorised that the first organisms on earth had been autotrophs and were able to synthesise organic compounds from inorganic material in the surrounding environment (Morowitz et al. 2000). In the ecosystems surrounding these hydrothermal vents, the organisms living within these ecosystems are based around bacterial processes and has been suggested by…

these areas with their release of waste products and trash, and these contaminants can spread from small streams or lakes to oceans and complete ecosystems. The pollutants that are released into the water sources are often inorganic substances, and the dissolved forms of these compounds can become ionic cations and anions. An increase in specific cations, like the positive ion H+ can be especially detrimental to bodies of water due to it’s a contribution towards ocean acidification. These acidic…

experimenter to determine the identity of an unknown salt (#3) using ion-exchange chromatography by analyzing the inorganic salts of the unknown salt, which can be examined by acid-base titration using ion-exchange resin. The stationary phase is made up of acid groups which will attach to the resin, which is then rinsed down the column with water. The mobile phase contains the inorganic salt dissolved in a solvent, which is then added to the column. As it goes down the column, an exchange of H+…

Tetra-Hydrate Cadmium nitrate tetra-Hydrate is an inorganic compound from the family of compounds with the general formula Cd (NO3)2.XH20, where X=4, hence the molecule has four molecules of water of crystallization in its structure. It exists as a salt but in its anhydrous state, it is known to be a volatile substance. It is a colorless substance as are all the compounds in the family of cadmium nitrates. Cadmium nitrate is a colorless, crystalline, inorganic compound that forms the toxic fumes…

monosaccharide and a disaccharide? Provide examples of each. Ans. Monosaccharide is a monomer that only consists one sugar but disaccharide has two. 2. Why is a sugar considered an organic compound? Ans. Because a compound 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…

fixation is a process in which inorganic carbon is converted into organic carbon that can be used in other pathways to synthesize macromolecules. The Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) pathway is often utilize by photoautotroph, photoheterotroph, and lithoautotroph for CO2 fixation. The CBB pathway is a cyclic pathway that occurs in 3 stages, the carboxylation phase, follow by the reduction phase, and then the regeneration phase. In the carboxylation phase, a 5 carbons compound called ribulose…

from a mutual cellular ancestor. There are a number of molecular similarities between all life forms, which indicate that all life evolved from one singular ancestor. The molecules of living organisms, which are rich in hydrogen-containing carbon, compounds, indicating there was no free oxygen on primitive earth, support this. Another proof is that DNA and RNA are the genetic bases of all life forms of earth and that ATP is energy used by all living organisms, suggesting a common origin of…

advanced testing in the identification of not only poisons, but many other substance. Modern forensics encompasseses organic and inorganic analysis, toxicology , arson investigation, and serology, as well as other branches of science. These forensic techniques aid in the analysis of a crime scene and apprehension of a…

they still do not possess the answer as to how life came to be from inorganic matter. Many question how life could have risen from non-living materials and become as complex as it is. Nobody knows for certain how the transition from inorganic matter to life occurred, however, there are several theories made to explain this transition (i.e. Clay theory, Primordial Soup Theory, RNA World, etc.). Life chemically first arose from inorganic matter due to the environment created by hydrothermal vents,…

Basic Anatomy and Physiology 02/15/2016 Unit 1 Chapter 1*3 1. Describe homeostasis and give three specific examples in the human body. Homeostasis is a systems that helps regulates the body systems and maintains keeping it stable. It also determines that it is used to name processes within living organisms. It?s constantly used to apply which is automatic control systems also known as thermostats. Occasionally recommends a sensor to capture changes in the condition to be regulated by the…
