properties of a Carbon atom that make it ideally suited to produce varied carbon skeletons? Besides water, carbon molecules are the most significant contributors to life. The structural and functional diversity of organic molecules emerges from the Continue Reading...
The o-quinones, themselves, are colorless, however they react with other phenolic compounds and can self-polymerize to form compounds which produce the brown color associated with apple oxidation (Nicolas et al.). This oxidation process forms a thin Continue Reading...
Size and Temperature on Diffusion In this experiment is expected that after 30 minutes, the diameter of the diffused dye ring will increase in size when placed at 37°C. Time (minutes) Distance (cm) Janus Green at room temperature Janus Gree Continue Reading...
The solution started out as blue/black at T=0. There was no further change observed until T=3 minutes where the solution began turning a lighter color. At T=4.5 it changed to amber and began to lighten. At T=8.5 it changed to clear and the starch wa Continue Reading...
On a biological level, consumption of genetically modified foods means the potential for "pleiotropic and insertional effects," Dona explains on page 165. Pleiotropic refers to the possibility that a gene may have more than one affect on the food. Continue Reading...
Amidation of Peptides in Humans Modern biotechnology has experienced dramatic leaps in the body of knowledge concerning molecular processes in peptides and how they work. Many of these processes rely on amidation of peptides to achieve increasingly Continue Reading...
The energy it stores (?180 Wh kg?1) at an average voltage of 3.8 V is only a factor of 5 higher than that stored by the much older lead -- acid batteries. This may seem poor in the light of Moore's law in electronics (according to which memory capac Continue Reading...
Collision Model: Explanation and Application The Collision Model is the theory that chemical reactions are the result of collisions between molecules. These molecular collisions must be strong enough to break bonds in the reacting substances. Breaki Continue Reading...

When one atom gives up or loses an electron, the atom will reduce in size. When an atom gains or receives an electron, the atom will grow in size. Ionic bonds lead to the formation of crystalline solids with high melting points and can be dissolved Continue Reading...
This condition slows down the heating process and also because of convection currents. Land and water have different capacities for absorbing and liberating heat. It is good to note that the specific heat of water is higher than that of land. Hence, Continue Reading...
