• What are the strategic choices available? Biocon India Group is a Bangalore-based organization that began in 1978 with the enzyme business. An enzyme, by the way, is a substance produced by a living organism which acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction. That said, the Biocon India realized that growth is imminent and various strategic choices are available. The first strategic choice available to Managing Director, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw’s Biocon India is expansion…

Destin Briggs Lu Jack Chem 4235 11/4/2017 Original Synthesis of Cadmium Nitrate Tetra-Hydrate Cadmium nitrate tetra-Hydrate is an inorganic compound from the family of compounds with the general formula Cd (NO3)2.XH20, where X=4, hence the molecule has four molecules of water of crystallization in its structure. It exists as a salt but in its anhydrous state, it is known to be a volatile substance. It is a colorless substance as are all the compounds in the family of cadmium nitrates. Cadmium…

Set 2 A pressure vs. Volume analysis was done to determine the bubble points for Oil A, Oil B and water, with CO2 Oil A Represented in Fig. 7 below, the Pressure vs. Volume behavior of Oil A is displayed, the graph is separated into two different sections as Oil A transitions from a single phase fluid to a two phase fluid, the transition occurs at 800 psi which represents the bubble point for Oil A. Fig XX. Pressure vs. Volume Oil A Analysis was done on the relationship between…

enter the house and allow the stale air to exit. The effects of VOCs can also be lowered by minimalizing exposure to these compounds. An example of a VOC is methanol, a substance which is toxic if ingested because it metabolises to form Formaldehyde (CH_2 O). Methanol (CH_3 OH) is most commonly found in products such as cigarettes as well as in foods or drinks containing aspartame, an artificial sweetener. Formaldehyde is another toxic VOC which can cause the development of cancer. Formaldehyde…

ENVM COMPREHENSIVE EXAM RISK MANAGEMENT 10/19/17 NAME: Sheetal M Patel STUDENT NUMBER: 540249 ENVM 665 Risk Management: Question 1 What are the two major general types of chemical sources that result in human exposure to those chemicals and provide a simplified “total” human exposure model showing the pathways that determine the total human dose from those chemicals. The total Human exposure model Source: http://exposurescience.org/a-total-human-exposure-model-them Chemical sources Lead…

1. Diagram an individual phospholipid and a bilayer of phospholipids. Label the hydrophilic head, and hydrophobic tails in both. 2. Explain the Fluid Mosaic model of the cell membrane and describe the functions of the proteins that are embedded in the membrane. The Fluid Mosaic model of the cell membrane is a hypothesis that describes the phospholipid bilayer and it proteins. It states that the membrane is flexible - fluid - and has various proteins embedded in it - a mosaic. These structures…

Log Rolling: A New Aquatic Trend or Sport? From the 20th century, an activity originally started as a lumberjack tradition of rotating a log in the water while trying to trip up your opponent until they fall off is now emerging in local pools all across the country. All the way from children to adults, this new aquatic event is starting to spark peoples’ attention. In this exposition I am going to describe whether or not log rolling is categorized into each of the four different segments that…

Based on Physical and Chemical Properties, Determination of Identities of Zinc, Sodium, Beryllium, Copper and Boron By: Shreya Uppala, Lizzy Jolly, and Kyrie Harrell Results: The first element we tested was zinc. Since zinc was already known, the density was stated to be 7.13g/mL and the hardness was a 2.5 based on the Mohs Hardness Scale. No magnetic attraction was observed when in contact with a magnet. Zinc had a shiny appearance with a light gray color and the strips of zinc added to…

Introduction Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is a transport protein in cow’s blood stream, similar to Human serum albumin in human blood. It binds different types of drugs for delivery to various parts of the body. One of these drugs is warfarin, a blood anticoagulant. This research project’s focus was on the interaction between BSA and warfarin derivatives; our assumption was that the protein binding site has different affinities for different warfarin derivatives; this was to be determined by…

Discussion In this experiment, the chemical reaction between acetone (CH3COCH3) and iodine (I2) to make CH3COCH2I, I-, and H+ was observed. Under normal circumstances, this reaction would occur very slowly. In order to speed up the process, hydrochloric acid (H+) was used as a catalyst. A catalyst is a substance that can speed up a reaction by lowering the activation energy of the reaction. It does this by changing the mechanism of the reaction and providing more energetically favorable…
