Oxyhemoglobin Dissociation Curve A oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve is a tool used to show the relationship between the saturation of oxygen and the partial pressure of oxygen. It directly tells us how a person own body is utilizing oxygen intake, how carbon dioxide levels are being regulated, as well as how efficient the hemoglobin in our body binds and release oxygen molecules to the appropriate tissues that require it. Normally the oxygen that our tissues need in order to function properly…

breads, biscuits, and muffins all use chemical leavening agents such as baking soda and an acid or baking powder. The acid and the base in the chemical leavening agent react to form CO2 that cause dough rising like yeast fermentation. Gluten free products use yeast and gums to help leaven the product and set its structure to trap CO2 bubbles. Gluten free products however typically do not rise as well as yeast or chemical leavening agent techniques because of the lack of elasticity formed by…

(Take One): Pouncing upon my sister’s Macbook Air, I was on a written escapade away from the Upper West Side’s public school nightmare and, instead, running up and down the catwalk at New York’s Couture’s 1956 Fashion Show!
