The first thing that comes into our mind when we think of a yeast infection is the vaginal area being affected by it. The reason is high susceptibility of the vagina to contract a vaginal infection. This, however, does not mean that the yeast infection is limited to vagina only. It can happen at almost any part of the body. You need not be afraid of the yeast infection as it is not a deadly disease. It can easily be treated if given the right yeast infection treatment. First of all, lets shed…

Oral/nasal cavity- The nasal cavity is the primary intake for air for the respiratory system, consisting of cartilage, muscle and bone. It allows for inhalation of air into the body and warms the air as it enters filtering the air by removing dust, pollen, and other contaminants, purifying the air before it is passed to the inner body. The secondary exterior opening is the oral cavity, it allows for larger quantities of air inhalation, it also has less distance to travel allowing more air to…

Making ATP from Free fatty Acids:- The other two energy substrates, FFAs and AAs, bypass glycolysis and ultimately enter the TCA cycle/oxidative phosphorylation as pyruvate, acetyl CoA, or different components of the TCA cycle. FFAs are released from adipose tissue by lipolysis and circulate in blood bound to serum albumin. Transport proteins then translocate FFAs into cells. FFAs are metabolized in mitochondria by the repetitive, cyclic process of β oxidation. This requires the transport of…

The unknown compound was composed of small, white crystals as shown in picture 1. The compound was completely odorless, which was tested by simply smelling the compound. Picture 1 (Unknown Compound): The solubility test of the unknown compound determined that the compound was soluble in water (H2O). The other known salts that were tested that were also soluble were all of the sulfates and NaCl. These were the only salts tested, because before this experiment it was determined by the flame test…

Now for all this history there are certainly important leaders of chemistry that need to be given some credit. First there is Jābir ibn Hayyān who is also known as Gerber. He was a chemist from the eighth century AD. Geber became one of the first people to use scientific methods to study and experiment. Through his experiments and studies he is thought to have discovered hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, and nitric acid. He also discovered what is now called Aqua Regia, which is an acid that is…

Lead concentrations can be measured in various body tissues or by measuring the biomarkers of the toxic effects of lead. The concentration of lead in the body has been measured in blood, bone, nails, hair, teeth, urine, faces and saliva for screening and diagnostic purposes. In all samples, specimen collection, storage and processing must be meticulously performed to avoid contamination of the samples with lead in the surrounding environment. Teeth, nail and bone reflect long term exposure to…

Lake Okeechobee has become polluted as a result of government approved back pumping that was done by South Florida sugar and vegetable growers to irrigate the fields. The water that was being dumped into the lake contained fertilizers and other pollutants. In 2014 a federal court put an end to this being done. Additionally the lake is polluted by toxic run off from golf courses, and home septic systems which is helping to feed the growth of toxic algae. These algae can kill oysters, as well as…

Climate change's equally evil twin is the name for ocean acidification its harmful because of the excess amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Since we don't see or feel it because the effects are happening underwater. CO2 is released by burning coal,oil and gas but its doesnt stay in the air but it dissolves into the oceans. The oceans have absorbed 525 billion of CO2 from the atmosphere and they collect about 22 tons per day. Scientist thought it was it good thing because it wasn't…

Assignment 7 Power Station Emission Aim: The aim of this experiment is to measure the mass of sulphur dioxide in 1m3 of flue gas (waste gas from burning fossil fuels in a power station). To achieve this aim, titration of an unknown solution of sulphuric acid (around 0.2-0.4 mol) and sodium carbonate (0.2 mol) using methyl orange as an indicator. 1. Introduction Fossil fuel is formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude…

For my orthographic drawing, I created three different views of my putt putt boat. I created a top, front and side view of my boat. I created an orthographic drawing because it accurately shows the top, front and side views clearly and more precisely. I was representing a 3d object in 2 dimensions. My three views show how each side of the boat looks in detail and the accurate measurements of the boat. To create the hull, we shaped a piece of aluminum into a “pocket” by using sandpaper to sand…
