Introduction Water is everywhere, from our oceans to the pond at your local park. These sources like the pond are considered freshwater ecosystem. Water is a neutral compound, meaning that in its natural state, it is neither acidic nor basic and has a pH of 7. However, water is subject to pollution and can easily be polluted by acidic compounds. And when you live in an area with a refinery, the surrounding waters can be very polluted. For this lab, we will test the various freshwater sources…

Engadine Construction Wetlands Introduction The aim of this report is why was Engadine wetlands constructed and are they effective in improving water quality, The wetland is located around -34.066761, 151.016502 The wetlands. The wetlands exist to clean and filter water , also the waste and pollution that comes with the water, the water seeps in, and the bacteria inside the land clears any contaminations, the the vegetation filters the water, which makes it clean, then it flows to the streams…

The phosphate buffer system consists of two ions: dihydrogen phosphate ions and hydrogen phosphate ions. When number of hydrogen ions in the bloodstream increases, the hydrogen phosphate ions accepts hydrogen ions to remain the equilibrium between the concentrations of both ions. The pH decreases. When the number of hydrogen ions in the bloodstream decreases, the dihydrogen phosphate ions release hydrogen ions. In order to increase the number…

Discussion and Scientific Explanations Colors help most people describe what different objects look like. When white light hits an object, in most cases, the object will absorb all of the wavelengths, except for one group. This group of wavelengths is then reflected off of the objects. The cones and rods in our eyes will then pick up this wavelengths and then the brain sees them as “color”. The reason that solutions have colors is because electrons in the chemical’s 4d orbital are jumping…

prepare it, including a 500 ml graduated cylinder, deionized water, and sodium phosphate dodecahydrate as the aqueous solution. The first step is to find the mass of the solution, sodium phosphate. In the formula, sodium's atomic mass is multiplied by 3 because there is the original weight times 3 atoms of sodium in the formula. using this method, calculate the rest of the mass. in total, the mass of sodium phosphate is 164 AMU. then find the mass of dodecahydrate, which comes out as 44 AMU. The…

different sides of the rings in a sequence. The sides of the of the 'ladder' are alternating sugars and phosphate groups. (Sugar-phosphate backbone) On one side of the ladder, the sugars are facing upwards, and on the other they are facing down. Each nucleotide has one deoxyribose sugar(without the extra oxygen attached to the second carbon), one base(adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine), and one phosphate group. Cytosine and guanine are complementary to each other. Adenine and thymine…

The pH of something can be determined by using the specific pH scale. The scale is based off of numbers ranging from 0 to 14. The lower the number is the more acidic something will be and the higher the number is the more basic something will be. It is important to note that 7 act as the neutral number, where neither it is considered acidic of basic (5). It is found that rain water that is unpolluted is coincides with carbon dioxide and has a pH of 5.6. Often, the pH around the world of…

Hydroxyapatite is the major calcium phosphate bioceramics. It improves the properties and performance of HA when implantation is happen. The characteristics of HA is it has a poor mechanical properties such as strength and fatigue resistance. The major limitation of HA is, it is restricted to…

When 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate get reduced, one of the phosphates get split off and 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate is convert to glyceraldehyde 3-bisphosphate, which can then enter glycolysis as a precursor metabolite. In the regeneration phase, some of the glyceraldehyde 3-bisphosphate that was form can be used to convert back to ribulose 5-phosphate through a series of reactions. Ribulose 5-phosphate then get phosphorylated by hydrolysis of another ATP molecule to form ribulose…

Q1) Each subunit in the protein consists of two domains – a large domain for the binding of ATP and a smaller domain for the binding of fructose-6-phosphate. Q2) The αβα sandwich are tightly packed together and are separated by a large interface from another subunit. Each domain contains several beta sheets in between anywhere between two to four alpha helices. Q3) Most of the β sheets are parallel, although there are a few antiparallel beta stands in the large domains. The α helices are…
