Introduction: Vitiligo is a depigmenting disorder of the skin, in which melanocytes (pigment cells) are attacked. Melanocytes produce melanin, which determine the color of the skin, hair, and eyes. When these cells are attacked, the skin color becomes significantly lighter.

plant. (Campbell, pg. 175). Inside the chloroplasts, thylakoids contain pigments such as chlorophyll that play major role in photosynthesis. (Citovsky, Lecture 10). Photosynthesis are composed of light reactions and Calvin cycle. Light reactions required the light to initiate photoexcitation. Photoexcitation happened when the light strike on chlorophyll, the electron will be excited and transferred around the antenna pigment molecules. Electrons will then be transferred to a reaction-center…

both reducing sugars and amino acids at high temperatures while dry cooking. The carbonyl group of the sugar interacts with the nucleophilic amino group (amine; -NH2) of the amino acid peptides or proteins to eliminate a molecule of water, a brown pigment, called “melanoidin” is formed after polymerization and odor and flavor of molecules resulted. In the process, hundreds of different flavor compounds are created. These compounds in turn break down to form yet more new flavor compounds, and so…

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has an impressive collection of Attica art, a region surrounding the ancient city of Athens; the one most captivating to me was the Marble Capital and Finial in the form of a Sphinx.
