The element Titanium is a very light metal and it’s in the periodic table group 4. This element is a transition metal and the symbol is Ti. The color of titanium is a silver grey and white color. The atomic mass is 47.867 and atomic number is 22. This element however is resistant to chlorine, and sea water. It has 22 electrons, 22 protons, and 26 neutrons. The density is 4.54 The discoverer who found titanium is William Gregor a Mineralogist. The year it was discovered was in 1791. Where it had…

Phosphorus is an essential nutrient to all forms of life and is required for building DNA, RNA and amino acids (Paytan, 2011). Phosphorus is often a limiting nutrient in ecosystems, along with nitrogen, and therefore its abundance determines the amount of primary production that can occur within a system (Schindler, 1971). The two main types of phosphorus are inorganic phosphate minerals, such as calcium phosphate rock that is mined for fertilizer, and organic compounds containing phosphorus…

Chromatography is a key aspect in chemistry. It allows one to separate molecules based on a variety of things. In labs 3 and 4 we looked at two of the characteristics that molecules carry that can help separate them. Lab 3 used spectrophotometry once again, but the concept that garnered the most interest was ion exchange chromatography. Ion exchange chromatography works by separating molecules based on the individual charges they carry. In our case we used anion exchange chromatography, which…

In the results of the first trial, two lemons were used and the light bulb did not turn on. The voltage was 1.72v. When 4 lemons were used, the light bulb still did not turn on. The voltage was 2.89v. Then, with 6 lemons, the light bulb finally turned on. The voltage was 3.96v. The average voltage for trial one was 2.86v, and the range for trial one was 2.24v. In the first trial, the mode was not applicable. In the results of the second trial, two lemons were used and the light bulb did not turn…

Mercury's surface is similar in appearance to the appearance of the Moon, showing plains and heavy cratering, indicating that it has been inactive for billions of years. Knowledge of Mercury's geology has been based only on the 1975 Mariner flyby and terrestrial observations, it is the least understood of the terrestrial planets. As data from messenger orbiter is processed, this knowledge will increase. For example, an unusual crater with radiating troughs has been discovered that scientists…

Equilibrium Paper There are multiple ingredients used to make baked goods rise; baking powder and baking soda are among them. The difference between single and double-acting baking powders is simple. Single-acting releases the carbon dioxide bubbles when mixed with a liquid ingredient and double-acting soda releases bubbles when the baked item is placed in heat. Baking soda and baking powder are remarkably similar, yet there are distinct differences. One is that baking soda is a strong base,…

energy is converted to chemical energy. Chlorophyll and other pigments absorb energy from sunlight. This energy is transferred to the photosystems responsible for photosynthesis. Water is used to provide electrons and hydrogen ions but also produces oxygen. The electrons and hydrogen ions are used to create ATP and NADPH. ATP is an energy storage molecule. NADPH is an electron carrier/donor molecule. Both ATP and NADPH will be used in the next stage of photosynthesis. The light independent is…

as a catalyst by absorbing oxygen, which kills bacteria by interfering with their respiration. Because of this antibiotic property silver had an essential role in medicine for thousands of years. Before the use of antibiotics, silver foil was wrapped around wounds to help healing, and silver-protein complexes were ingested to fight illness. Silver has also been used in dental hygiene to cure and prevent infection.…

Amnion Tissue In this project, I also with amnion tissue collection, ChIP preparation and Real-time PCR technique. The aim of this work was to determine the gene activating H3K4me3 and gene repressing H3K27me3 levels and their ratios at the promoter regions of NAMPT inflammatory gene. Collection of Tissue Fetal membranes were collected from women undergoing elective cesarean section at absence of labour [not in labour (NIL), n = 5], during active labour [in labour (IL), n = 4] and preterm (n=5)…

A) The Earth’s early atmosphere had no oxygen and was made mostly of nitrogen, with some carbon dioxide, water vapour and hydrogen compounds such as methane and ammonia. Within million of years life evolved in the oceans. 3.2 billion years ago photosynthesis had evolved with the first oxygen producing cyanobacteria, similar to today’s blue-green algae. At first, the oxygen given off simply reacted with the rocks, but gradually it built up in the oceans and started to bubble out into the…
