Kidney stones are hardened mineral deposits or concretion of waste formed in the kidney. They form from an over abundance or under abundance of a urinary chemical and not enough water to dissolve all the waste products, minerals, and compounds that the kidney is trying to excrete. They can cause a blockage, which can cause extreme pain. Tennessee has the highest report of kidney stones than any other state in America. According to Alexander (2005), “Kidney stones are one of the most common…
drinks is the closest to doing it with real teeth. Egg shells are close to teeth because they are both made of calcium and stain the same way. The only difference is the fact that eggshells are made of calcium carbonate and teeth are made calcium phosphate. That difference only affects the brittleness of the eggshells so that won’t negatively affect the…
electrolytes your body uses while performing a strenuous activity. Most people including myself have never really had an idea of what exactly is in Gatorade itself (2). The ingredients that mostly stood out were sodium citrate and mono potassium phosphate. Those basically translate to salt and potassium. Both sodium and potassium are forms of electrolytes. Sodium activates your thirst mechanism all while potassium…
It’s important to realize that each scientific break through is made possible by the work that came before it. It’s a lot like putting puzzle pieces together, collecting different important evidence until enough puzzle pieces result in another break through. Fifty years ago two scientists announced to a lunch time crowd that they had discovered the secret to life. How DNA changed the world To begin with scientists used to have no understanding of what caused distinct patterns of inheritance.…
When trying to measure the 0.250 molar solution (of which is in water and sodium phosphate solution) in 500 mL, there are very specific steps in which you need to follow. Pouring the correct amount of the solution in the beakers is important, as to make sure that the solution is not over concentrated, or under concentrated. if you were to use a flask that had a different volume amount, and filled that flask up to (for example one flask with five hundred milliliters.) the full amount,the solution…
contraction since it prepares the myosin for binding in the cross-bridge muscle contraction cycle (Boundless). Thus, ATP activates the myosin heads for binding to actin forming a cross-bridge and then the myosin head bends, which release ADP and phosphate. At the molecular level, Fox explains that the muscle filaments are composed of actin monomers in a…
ammonium nitrate, zinc nitrate, calcium nitrate, aluminum nitrate, silver nitrate, ferric nitrate, and plumbous nitrate. The other seven solutions should be the anions of sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium sulfate, sodium iodide, sodium phosphate, sodium chloride, and sodium chromate. Divide students into groups of two. Provide a bin of paper towels for the students to empty their well plates. Students: Obtain a pair of safety goggles from the goggle cabinet, a plastic reaction…
Unit 2 Project In your own words Discuss why carbon is essential to life on Earth. (150 word minimum response) Carbon is a vital element in organic compounds. Organic compounds are compounds that are usually located in living things.Organic compounds are very vital and Carbon is an elemnt that makes up organic compounds. Carbon helps organic compounds make up cells and carry out important life functions.Additionally, carbon can form strong bonds with itself and many other elements. This…
During high endurance training the body will eventually undergo dehydration and will result in the performance of the athlete to decline. Dehydration occurs when the amount of fluid loss exceeds the amount of fluid intake. For athletes, dehydration leaves them at a weaken state; therefore, their performance would decline as they are weakened. When an athlete believes he is dehydrated he may go and drink some fluids, however what he may not realize is that he may make “a mismatch between fluid…
Dental erosion is the wearing down of tooth enamel by acids. Different types of beverages cause dental erosion (Olde, 2015). By measuring the mass of egg shells before and after they are exposed to these common beverages will determine which beverages contribute the most towards dental erosion and tooth decay. The purpose of using egg shells is because they are made of calcium the same element that the human tooth is made of (Goldblatt, Samberson, Diamond, 2013). To test the effects of common…
