Growing up, you would always hear people calling marijuana a gateway drug. Which is true, but not the gateways you would initially think. The most commonly overlooked gateways are the commercial and industrial applications. If only the federal government and the American people would realize the benefits our country would greatly gain from the utilization of these gateways. They would legalize the use of marijuana/hemp/cannabis immediately for the sake of our country. Now let us scratch the…

What are carbohydrates? Carbohydrates play a major role in our body, but many people don’t even know what they are. To show the true role of carbohydrates in the body you need to thoroughly break down every carbohydrate. CH2O is the general molecular formula for carbohydrates and it was once even called “hydrated carbon”. Each and every carbohydrate contains at least one carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atom, as well as being an organic compound. Though many people believe carbohydrates are bad for…

1.1. Mechanical properties of CP/CNF and CP/CNF/ZIF-67 1.1.1. Stress–strain curves The stress–strain curves and the effects of CNF dosage on the tensile strength, elastic modulus, and elongation at break of CP/CNF and CP/CNF/ZIF-67 are shown in Fig. 3 and Tables S1–S4. As shown in Fig. 3(A) and Table S1, the tensile strength, elastic modulus, and elongation at break of neat CP is 7.37 MPa, 996 MPa, and 3.07%, respectively. After coating and crosslinking with CNFs, the mechanical properties of…

blocks. What molecules would you get if you mixed plant starches with a little Amylase? My Answer: A) Cellulose Correct Answer: B) Sugars Why my answer was wrong: I chose the answer to be cellulose, because on September 9, during class, we talked about sugars, starches, and cellulose, and at the bottom of my paper, I wrote that they were related. I think I was confused, and just thought that the cellulose and starches were related, and I chose that answer, not thinking about the sugars. My…

2. Prokaryotic cells are small, simple, no nucleus, no membrane-bound organelles, single loop of DNA (nucleosome), no cellulose, cytoplasm, cell membrane, cell wall (made of carbs), sometimes have cilia or flagella (movement). Eukaryotic Cells are larger cells, complex, with nucleus, membrane bound organelles, DNA tightly wrapped around histone proteins in chromosomes, cellulose in plant cell walls. 3. Chloroplasts are present in plant cells but not animals. They do photosynthesis and make…

two compounds from one solute that will be formed by amalgamating a ‘slurry’ – provided by the instructor. Resin or cellulose is used to create a sound support unit in order maintain a constant positive or negative charge respectively, this will allow separation to occur when equilibrium is shifted during the reaction. The column will have a support unit – composed of either cellulose or resin, inserted with varying concentrations of buffer…

Identifying the Presence of Macromolecules Using Benedict’s, Biuret’s, Sudan III, and Lugol’s Solution Betty Ngo Introduction Macromolecules are the critically important large molecules that fall into four main classes: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. Macromolecules are polymers which are built up by monomers. Monomers become polymers from the process dehydration reaction and polymers are broken apart by the process hydrolysis. Macromolecules are critically important…

such as starch, cellulose and lignin into simpler substances which can be absorbed by the hyphae. In this way molds play a major role in causingdecomposition of organic material, enabling the recycling of nutrients throughout ecosystems. Many molds also synthesise mycotoxins and siderophores which, together with lytic enzymes, inhibit the growth of competing microorganisms.…

Human organism needs a sufficient amount of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. The balance of these substances allows you to lose weight, feel better, look younger and healthier. Protein Protein molecules are made of combinations of amino acids. Their various combinations give special properties to molecules. Proteins are required for metabolic reactions and they construct "skeleton" of cells and the body's various tissues - muscles, skin, nerve fibers. Protein molecules are…

The digestive system is a vital part of an animal’s anatomy, providing the animal with the energy required to carry out essential life processes. The digestive system importance in all animals, a detailed description of the rabbits’ digestive system, and the benefits/disadvantages that come with the system, and how it impacts on the lifestyle will be explored in this essay. Digestion is important to animals as it allows the food molecules to be broken down into smaller pieces, releasing the…
