Zinc

the iron absorption, and she may take iron supplement as well. The other nutrient deficient that may occur is zinc. Zinc is important to the immune system, hormones synthesis, fat and protein metabolism and cell growth and development. The zinc deficiency can causes multiple problems, such as diarrhea, poor neurological function and decreased the synthesis of thyroid hormone. The zinc…

The words nutrient and nourish are both derived from the Latin word nūtrīre which means ‘to feed, nurse, support and preserve.’ In other words, it’s really important to nourish your body with the right nutrients to support and preserve your health. While plants get their nutrients from the soil, we get ours from the foods we eat. Yet many of us don’t consider whether or not the foods we put into our bodies are full of healthful nutrients or not. We’re more concerned with taste and if we can…

affected by the varying amounts of zinc that each group used, and was constant throughout the class even though each group had a different amount of zinc react with the hydrochloric acid. A possible error that may have occurred during this lab was the used of filter paper to filter out the unreacted zinc from the liquid. Filter paper would absorb some of the liquid, and some of the zinc chloride may have been contained in that absorbed liquid. This would cause the mass of zinc chloride to seem…

Discovered by a two German Chemists, Ferdinand Reich and Theodor Richter co-founded Indium in 1863. Their initial focus was to trace potential Thallium in Zinc ores (rocks), however, it eventually led them to extracting Indium as a by-product of Zinc ores. As of today, there are multiple regions and elements in which Indium can be extracted from but it is not because of its accessibility but rather the demand. The demand for Indium is primarily used for technological purposes- the most prevalent…

Beryllium oxide, with a melting point of 2585 °C and specific gravity of 3.025, is a cubic close-packed and has a zinc blende structure. It is stable in dry atmospheres. At high temperature, it reacts with graphite. And for 1100 °C and above, it hydrolyzes. It is electrically resistant and is a good thermal…

“Classifying Chemical Reactions - Lab Report” I - Introduction - Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, properties and change of matter. In chemistry, chemical and physical changes are used to help scientists understand how different substances react given various circumstances. A chemical change is any change resulting in the formation of a new chemical substance(s). A physical property is any change that does not involve the chemical makeup of a substance at all. In total…

There has been a strong association of IBD diagnosis with low levels of folate. Therefore, Patients with IBD are prophylactically treated with Folate. Heyman et al. (2009) explained, “ Folate, water –soluble B vitamin, has been shown to prevent DNA damage and cell injury, which can lead to different types of cancer including those associated with IBD” (p.2). Nevertheless, serum folate level in pediatric patients is insufficiently described. Thus, it is unclear whether the newly diagnosed IBD…

Industrial metal coatings and abrasion resistant coatings accounted for $6.8 billion in revenue in 2014. In fact, automotive refinish coatings are the largest segment of the paint industry, just ahead of industrial maintenance coatings, with a revenue of $2 billion in 2014. For those battling rust or looking for wear-resistant coatings, here are some common questions to consider. What causes rust on metal? Rust on metal is caused by surface metal atoms and molecules forming metal oxides in the…

dollar funds from Chinese banks to make the acquisition in cash if required. Because SZLN had raised approximately US$90 million equity funds in late 2006 and had accumulated profits in 2006 and 2007, its liabilities–assets ratio had decreased from approximately 70 per cent to 50 per cent over the 2006-2007 period. This financial slack provided the company with a degree of flexibility to take on this opportunity. Nevertheless, the future cash needs of PEM would need to be considered before…

mining district contaminate local Oklahoma waterways, including Tar Creek, with elements such as lead and zinc. Using flood maps of Tar Creek to select sites to analyze. 30m transect lines were laid on each side of the creek and soil cores were taken every 5m creating horizontal profiles.We took the cores to an OSU lab where we sampled each core at 3, 15, and 24 cm creating vertical…
