Fatty acids and oil are organic substances, which are composed of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. When carbon, oxygen and hydrogen are chemically combined with a carboxyl group, a long chain is formed, called as fatty acids. Alternatively, when fats react with water, they break into fatty acids and glycerin. Three chains of fatty acids when react with glycerol molecule, they combine to form triglycerides. Molecules of triglyceride are the basis of fats and oil. The difference in their chemical…

water  Undergo saponification  Undergo emulsification Classification and biological functions of Lipids: • Fatty Acids:  Energy sources  Biosynthetic precursors • Triglycerols:  Storage  Transport • Phosphoglycerides:  Membranes components • Ketone bodies:  Energy sources • Sphingolipids:  Membrane components • Eicosanoids:  Modulators of physiological activity • Cholesterol:  Membrane component…

PHA 6840 Assignment #9 1. Inhalants are classified as volatile substances that generate chemical vapors, which after inhaled produce a mind altering effect. The category of inhalants consists of a broad range of chemicals including: volatile solvents, gases, aerosols, and nitrates. The different forms of inhaled substances can be found commonly in industrial, medical, and household products. According to the Monitoring The Future Survey conducted in 2016, there is a significant decrease in…

not controlled, or if improperly controlled, diabetes can kill very quickly. A patient with prolonged hyperglycemia from untreated diabetes will eventually fall into DKA. DKA causes acidosis (an abnormally high acidity level in the body caused by ketones), cerebral edema, altered level of consciousness, dysrhythmia, and eventually death if not treated quickly. Even in cases that are not fatal, prolonger hyperglycemia can cause irreversible brain damage with a fatality rate of 9-14 percent.…

The purpose of this experiment was to see if different fragrances affected a soap’s antibacterial properties. In this experiment, non-scented Alconox soap was used as the control. The experimental groups consisted of Joy lemon dishwashing soap, Dawn Escapes New Zealand Springs dishwashing soap, and the soap from the campus bathroom dispenser. The subject’s hands were washed with each of these soaps for approximately 30 seconds with each soap. The subject’s right hand was swabbed for each sample.…

Many scientific evidence has stated that in some areas, indoor air pollution is much worse than outdoor air pollution, Due to the amount of time people nowadays spend indoors, people’s health risks increase due to the air pollution indoors. These are a few of the less known indoor air pollutants (“7 Sources of Indoor Air Pollution”): 1.New carpet. Carpet materials can emit a variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). 2. Broken compact fluorescent lights. If they break, CFLs can emit mercury,…

et al. 2). And using the Labstix strip to test urine sample for blood, ketone, glucose, and protein. Three different kinds of drinks were used: water, Coke, and Gatorade because we are trying to study the kidneys by osmotic regulation in maintaining the fluid balance in the body and analyze the result we get from the experiment…

Inborn errors of metabolism are a group of rare disorders characterized by metabolic pathway abnormalities. One such disorder is Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) otherwise known as Branched-chain Ketoaciduria, a dangerous condition in which over saturation of amino acids in the blood can lead to toxicity progressing to encephalopathy, neurodegeneration, coma or respiratory failure (Haldeman-Englert, 2015). MSUD results from a malfunction of the branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex…

In this experiment, a series of reactions was performed in order to synthesize 6-ethoxycarbonyl-3,5-diphenyl-2-cyclohexenone, an a,b-unsaturated ketone. The two reactions performed in order to obtain this product were a Michael addition reaction and an Aldol condensation reaction. During this experiment, the reaction solution underwent several changes. Originally, the initial solution was light yellow and transparent. Once heated, the appearance of the reaction solution became bright yellow.…
