What else can I help you with?
Is biotin a vitamin or a mineral?
Biotin is a vitamin, specifically Vitamin B7. It is an essential nutrient that plays a key role in metabolism, cell growth, and the production of fatty acids.
Is glycerol a vitamin or mineral?
Its neither a vitamin or a mineral. Glycerol is normally chemically combined with fatty acids to form fats. The body either uses it to make more fats or metabolizes it for energy.
Are mineral acids weak?
Mineral acids are generally considered to be strong acids because they completely dissociate in water to release hydrogen ions. Examples of mineral acids include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid.
Which vitamin protects PUFA in the cell from free radical attack?
Vitamin E is known to protect polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the cell from free radical attack. It acts as an antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals that would otherwise cause damage to the PUFAs.
What vitamin travels in a micelle with bile and fatty acids?
Vitamin A
Why are mineral acids strong acids?
Mineral acids are strong acids because they completely dissociate in solution to release a high concentration of H+ ions. This dissociation happens easily due to the strong bond between hydrogen and the acidic components in mineral acids, leading to a high degree of ionization and resulting in a low pKa value.
Which vitamin is needed to synthesize nonessential amino acids from essential amino acids?
Vitamin C is needed to synthesize nonessentail amino acids from essential amino acids.
Fatty acids are metabolized by what pathway?
Beta-oxidation is the major pathway by which fatty acids are metabolized. However, there are other minor pathways for fatty acid metabolized. These include alpha-oxidation (for branched fatty acids) and omega-oxidation.
What is flaxseed?
Flaxseed is not technically a grain but it similar to grains in its vitamin and mineral profile. Flax contains much more fiber, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids than grains.
Why is there no vitamin F?
The combination of linoleic acid and alpha linoleic acid (essential fatty acids) is often refered to as Vitamin F
Is Erbium reactive?
Erbium is moderately reactive, but it does not react with water. It tarnishes slowly in air and can react with acids to produce hydrogen gas. It is typically stored under mineral oil to prevent oxidation.
What are three causes of chemical weathering?
Chemical weathering is the dissolution, carbonation, oxidation, or hydrolysis of rock and mineral by chemical means only, mostly from reactions with water or the acids contained in rainwater.Other materials are formed in the process. Warm, tropical climates are ideal environments for chemical weathering to take place as the chemical reactions are quickened by the bountiful rain and warm temperatures. Water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, living organisms, and acid precipitation.
