Biochemistry

Compound lipids are a type of lipid that consist of a combination of fatty acids, alcohol, and other molecules like phosphate or sugars. They include phospholipids and glycolipids, which are essential components of cell membranes and are involved in various cellular functions.

Foods that are rich in antioxidants include berries (such as blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries), fruits (such as oranges, grapes, and kiwi), vegetables (such as spinach, kale, and broccoli), nuts (such as almonds and walnuts), and seeds (such as chia and flax seeds). Other sources include dark chocolate, green tea, and spices like turmeric and cinnamon.

Dna Pol three is a Dna copying bio-machine - similar more in function than in overall shapes and forms {and cofactors} to Dna Pol I and Dna Pol II - each has It's own special Role [ regarding Dna replication ( synthesis of two new Dna intertwined strands ) ] to perform.

DEPC (diethyl pyrocarbonate) inactivates RNAases by reacting with histidine residues in the active site of the enzyme. This chemical modification disrupts the structure and function of the RNAase, rendering it inactive. DEPC treatment is commonly used to eliminate RNAases in solutions and labware for RNA-related experiments.

As temperature increases, the movement of molecules in a substance also increases. This is because higher temperature provides more energy to the molecules, causing them to move faster and more vigorously. Conversely, lowering the temperature reduces molecular movement.

No, water soluble vitamins are not stored in the body tissues to a significant extent. They are absorbed into the bloodstream and any excess amounts are typically excreted in the urine. This is why it is important to consume them regularly through the diet.

Snottites are formed in caves by much the same process as stalactites, except that snottites are composed of living bacteria, thriving on volcanic sulphur compounds contained in water dripping down over them from above.

Do you mean denatured?

Form is function in an enzyme and if heat or acidity denatures an enzyme the function of the enzyme is compromised. Certain R group bonds being br5oken will denature the enzyme and give it a different conformation.

Get the MR of the NaH2PO4 molecule.

Now use the 1M = (MR)g/L to work out the equation.

The last equation you need is 20mM = (X)g/L

Now you make the units the same, cross multiply and get your answer for X.

Once you do this a few times it becomes second nature.

Random structure in proteins refers to regions that do not adopt a well-defined and stable three-dimensional conformation. These regions are often flexible and can serve various functions, such as facilitating protein-protein interactions or allowing for conformational changes. They can also be involved in signaling pathways or regulatory processes within the cell.

Barfoed's test is used to distinguish monosaccharides that contain a ketone group from those that contain an aldehyde group. It is based on the reaction of monosaccharides with copper acetate in acidic conditions to form a red precipitate. This test is specifically useful in differentiating between monosaccharides like glucose (which has an aldehyde group) and fructose (which has a ketone group).

polysaccharides are used in living things for structure and storage. In plants, cellulose give structure to the cell walls, as does chitin in fungi and peptidoglycan in bacteria. All these carbohydrates are polysaccharides. In animals, glycogen ( branched glucose chains) is used as storage of energy and in plants starch performs the same job. Polysaccharides are important to living things because a polysaccharide is just another way to store and hold glucose, which is the only thing that can provide energy to living organisms. It is just another very important alternative to store energy in living things.

The chemical formula of the propionic (propanoic) acid is C3H6O2.

Amino acids are made up of an amino group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH), a hydrogen atom, and a variable side chain (R group) that differentiates each amino acid. There are 20 standard amino acids that make up proteins, each with a unique side chain that determines its specific properties and functions.

The liver can perform gluconeogenesis, a process in which it converts non-carbohydrate sources such as fats and proteins into glucose. This involves a series of chemical reactions that help to maintain blood sugar levels when glucose from dietary sources is limited.

If the nephron didn't reabsorb salt and nutrients, essential substances like water, electrolytes, and glucose would be lost in the urine, leading to dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and potential nutrient deficiencies in the body. This could disrupt normal bodily functions and lead to complications over time.

All living cells use adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as their primary energy source. ATP provides the energy needed for various cellular processes such as metabolism, muscle contraction, and cell division. It is often referred to as the "energy currency" of the cell due to its central role in energy transfer.

No, dextrose is glucose but it has a different 3 dimensional structure than regular glucose.

Biochemistry would be best suited since a first semester of basic biochem college course still likely teaches nomenclature while 2nd semester covers tricarboxcylic acid cycle in what happens at the molecular and atomic levels when food energy converts to other forms of energy therefore biochemistry offers much greater conducive comprehension to microscopic studies whereas zoology perhaps as a minor may seem more appropriate. By nomenclature, I mean it teaches the meanings of all those long fancy words one finds on many ingredient labels, for example all long molecular names that ends with "-ol" simply means there's an oxygen and hydrogen attached to the very end of that molecule because the strict order in which molecular names are written is in direct correlation to its physical 3-D structure.

Ostwald's viscometer is used to measure the viscosity of liquid substances, such as oils, paints, and polymer solutions. It consists of a capillary tube through which the liquid flows, and the time it takes for the liquid to flow through the tube is used to calculate its viscosity.

Yes. Any Glycosaminoglycan consists of repeating units of hexose (six-carbon sugar) or a hexuronic acid, linked to a hexosamine (six-carbon sugar containing nitrogen).

Cardiac troponin is released into the bloodstream when heart muscle is damaged, typically due to a heart attack or other cardiac injury. Blood tests can detect elevated levels of troponin, indicating heart muscle damage.

0.5 M = 0.5 moles / liter but nothing measures moles so you need to find mass (grams) of bi sodium hydrogen phosphate.. Find the molar mass of bi sodium hydrogen phosphate.

2*23 + 1 + 31 + 3*16 = 142 grams/mole

(0.5 mole / Liter ) x (0.5 L) x 142 grams/mole = 35.5 grams of bi sodium phosphate.

Dissolve this 35.5 grams in a small amount of water in a 500 ml volumetric flask.

After dissolving add more water until the total volume is 500 ml. (0.5 L)

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) acts as the energy currency for a cell. It stores and transports energy within cells for various cellular processes by releasing energy when its phosphate bonds are broken.
