Ribs are an important part of numerous humans’ appetite in the United States. As yummy as these juice ribs are, they aren’t the best for our bodies and health. We usually get ribs from pigs, but pigs aren’t born and raised in the cleanest places which results in diseases. This affects humans because we love to consume these animals. The production of ribs doesn’t benefit the environment either. As you can see, there are positives and negatives about eating ribs, and hopefully the negatives…

1. Describe two scientific theories relating to the evolution of the chemicals of life A scientific theory is an explanation based on observations, reasoning and experimentations, especially one that has been tested and confirmed as a general principle helping to understand, explain and predict natural phenomena. A scientific theory must be based on careful and rational examinations of the facts. There are 5 major theories that account to the evolution and origins of chemicals of life. However…

An inverted fluorescence microscope is an inverted compound light microscope equipped with modules to internally separate the different wavelengths of light, and direct them to respective detection channels. Its main components include a light source, an objective, a filter cube and a detection unit, which can be an eyepiece or a camera (Fig.1). Filter cube is a component which separates a fluorescence microscope from a light microscope. It consists of one excitation filter, one emission filter…

such as plyvinyl chloride and polyethylene terephthalate. BPA can leach from these polycarbonate containers under heat and either acidic or basic conditions, as these environmental factors accelerate the hydrolysis of the ester bond linking BPA monomers, leading to the release of BPA with the concomitant potential for human exposure. It can also be absorbed through the skin by handling paper receipts and money (Trasande). Though BPA accumulates in adipose tissue, it can also be detected in…

pyrophosphate is later hydrolysed by pyrophosphatase. The tyrosine residue the subunits of glycogenin act as anchors for the reducing end of glycogen. To this, eight UDP-glucose molecules are added, forming α(1 → 4) bonds, till a chain of eight glucose monomers is formed. Glycogen synthase then binds to the glycogen chain. This storing of glucose in liver cells, decreases the concentration of glucose in the…

Biological functions: The main biological functions for CRP to determine via its ability to identify pathogens and injured cells of the host and mediate their elimination via activating the complement system and phagocytic cells (Brundish and Baddiley,1968 ; Weiser et al., 1997). CRP binds to microorganisms and mediates their killing to more recent observations of protection against bacterial pathogens in CRP transgenic mice. The most significant evidence has supported the notion that CRP plays…

Since the development of direct orthodontic bonding, various new developments have been made to help improve the technique. These developments have focused on improving bond strength, decreasing bonding time, reducing the number of bonding steps, and decreasing adhesive remnants. All these advances have worked towards creating the most efficient bonding protocol while maintaining enamel health during treatment and after debonding. As newer and more efficient products are marketed, we must also…

The protein insulin is unique in many ways. Insulin is considered to be a hormone and also a protein. The word insulin is derived from Latin origins. Insulin was the first protein to have its sequence determined, and this was discovered by Frederick Sanger. Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin determined the spatical conformation soon after (Warburg, 2015). It is very important to understand how proteins work because they are essential to our health. Without proteins our bodies would not be able to form…

Structure of the Bacterial Cell Wall Bacterial cells differ from mammalian cells due to highly developed cell walls outside the cytoplasmic membranes that provide structural integrity and shape to the cell. Bacteria live in dilute aqueous environments, which causes an intracellular pressure equivalent of 10-25 atm. Without the structural support of the cell wall, the cell is susceptible to lysis and osmotic rupture due to osmotic rupture due to turgor pressure. Figure 1: Comparison between…

I went about completing the project, and what technical knowledge I gained from achieving my goals for the assignment. At the Deer Park site, the main goal was to produce acrylic acid. According to The Dow Chemical Website, “Glacial Acrylic Acid Monomer offers significant advantages as an additive in a wide range of…
