Monomer

1. Describe the structure of an atom, including the subatomic particles, their charges, and their location. An atom is made up of subatomic particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons carry a positive charge found in the nucleus; neutrons carry no electrical charge and are also found in the nucleus. Electrons carry a negative charge and orbit around the nucleus. 2. Name five characteristics of water and relate them to the structure of water. Water has a high heat capacity…

fermentation depend on the structure of sugar. The simpler the structure the faster the speed will be, because there are less steps required to break down the polymer. Discussion: Students hypothesize that the sugar need to be broken down to simpler monomer to start the process of glycolysis, so the fastest rate of fermentation will occur to the simplest substance (glucose). During the experiment, Glucose exhibits the formation of CO¬2¬ after 5 minutes (0.1 mL), while Maltose (disaccharide),…

First step is ingested food is taken into the mouth where it is torn into smaller physical parts by the teeth. The salivary enzymes; amylase and lipase are activated beginning the chemical breakdown of food. Salivary amylase divides starch into smaller glucose molecules. Physically the saliva hydrates and compacts the food for ideal propulsion through the pharynx and esophagus. Propulsion is activated voluntarily when we swallow; the tongue moves towards the hard palate of the mouth thus pushing…

Slime is made by mixing together borax, glue, and water. Depending on the amount of borax added to the mixture will determine the density of the slime. For our experiment in class the independent variable was the borax. The dependent variable was slime. The control group was glue. It was important to keep the amount of glue, borax, and water constant throughout the experiment. In an experiment conducted in class it was hypothesized that the more borax added the denser the slime will be.…

amylase produced from many sources in our body such as salivary glands in the mouth, pancreas cells, and small intestines (Scott, 2014). Amylase initiates the breakdown of starch which is a common plant polysaccharide composed of repeating glucose monomers into smaller subunits (Campbell et al, 2008). There are many environmental and ecological factors that strongly affect the enzymatic activities within a living organisms. Temperature is a factor related directly to physiological processes as…

molecules consist of simple sugars, fatty acids, amino acids, and nucleotides. "Poly-" means "many", and "saccharide" means "sugar," so as the name suggests, a polysaccharide is a type of sugar. In fact, it is a polymer made up of chains of sugar monomers, also known as monosaccharides, and monosaccharides are simple sugars such as glucose, fructose, and galactose. Sugars are important because they make up carbohydrates…

Emulsions are two-phase systems, a mixture of two or more liquids that are normally immiscible. There are two phases in the system, in which one is the continuous phase and the other one is the dispersed phase. Types of emulsions [38] Oil in water (o/w): in which oil is the dispersed phase and water is the continuous phase. Water in oil (w/o): in which water is the dispersed phase and oil is the continuous phase. Emulsions have a cloudy or opaque appearance because particles scatter light…

Payment using QR Codes is gaining popularity fast due to its low barriers of entry and the convenience it provides to consumers as consumers do not need to carry credit cards or cash for their purchases. Merchants can also save cost by saving themselves the need to invest in expensive equipment, such as the EDC machine. Furthermore, merchants do not need to adhere to strict rules like the requirement of business permits and documents for the purchase of EDC machines. However, everything in…

Abstract In this study, a CO2-respensive GM-AD-HA hydrogel derived from electrostatics crosslinks and supramolecular bond will be produced and studied about its mechanical properties and physiological performance. It is expected to have application in restoring cartilage and controllable delivery of Epirubicin Background of research Hydrogels have crosslinked microstructure and can swell up in water without resolving. Their soft and rubbery nature minimizes inflammatory reactions of the…

. These four organic macromolecules provide all cells with structure, create and store energy, and can be hormones, immune substances and genetic material. A macromolecule, or polymer, is a large complex molecule built from smaller molecules, or monomers, such as nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. Monosaccharides and polysaccharides are both carbohydrates. Polysaccharides are a complex carbohydrate composed of a chain of monosaccharides that are linked together by glycosidic…
