Paragraph 3 - Identical twins are different in so many ways. Take for example the Bonnie and Brenda twins, they are identical twins, but different in so many ways. They were born as identical twins, and one became transgender. Another set of twins Anais and Sam they were raised from different parents, and raised in different countries. One of them was an actress and the other was a fashion designer.…
Introduction Many biological processes are pH dependent, to illustrate, stomach is at a relatively lower pH than other organs for proper function of digestive enzymes. In particular, buffer is essential for maintaining cellular functions. For instance, protein intake and metabolism generates about 70mM of H+ daily (Silverthorn, Johnson, Ober, Garrison, & Silverthorn, 2012), which could lower pH of human blood to as low as 3. To limit the drastic change in blood pH, human body has three buffer systems – bicarbonate, monohydrogen phosphate, and ammonia. Buffer is made up of weak acid and its conjugate base.…
WGU Biochemistry Task 3 A1) There are several differences between the oxygenated and deoxygenated states of hemoglobin. One difference can be seen in the conformational state of the hemoglobin protein. When oxygenated, the protein takes on the T (tense) state; and when deoxygenated, the protein takes on the R (relaxed) state (Hudon-Miller, 2012b). Another difference arises when oxygen binds to the hemoglobin, resulting in a change in the shape of the protein. In the deoxygenated state, the heme group forms a domed shape; and in the oxygenated state, the heme group takes on a planar shape (Hudon-Miller, 2012b).…
Within methods of chemistry, the most common and obvious way to find the PH of a substance is to use an acid-base indicator in order to determine the pH level by comparing the indicators color to what pH it represents. An example of this is universal indicator (a mixture of a variety of other indicators) that changes a wide variety of colors depending on the pH it is subject to. This colorizing effect is somewhat like a color dye for a molecule, that changes color when it detects a specific threshold is crossed in terms of the pH of the substance, thus allowing an approximate pH to be determined. This color change is due to the molecules present in acid-base indicators responding to the changes in the overall concentration of the hydrogen…
In this lab we will be testing the water quality of the Lewis and Clark Lake. We will be testing to see if the water is good quality and good for the fish and creatures that need that water to live. The first step is to extract the water from the lake and analyze the way it looks. We should write down the description of the water. The second step is to take it to the lab to test the water for pollutants and to test the quality of the water.…

Angella Brown HCA 350: Research Paper - China and Philippines Charter Oak State College China This research paper outlines the differences amongst China and the Philippines. Therefore, I will discuss the demographics in these two countries or the factors that may impact the health of the countries. The impacts affecting the health of China and Philippines are caused from environmental, political, and economic issues. Within my research I found many similarity as well as difference.…
Suny Empire State College encompasses a unique variety of ways to pursue a college degree that is affordable. In 2008 I enrolled and began my undergrad studies, but my ultimate plan was to attain a bachelor’s degree. I had the flexibility of attending face to face study groups, online studies and independent studies all while being employed full time. Knowledge attained from course work in Religion, Human Development, Sociology and psychology have truly impacted how I view life.…
Hi Lam, I think you are a painstaking student. You spend all your time to study in the college and try to learn piano in your free time. In addition, your goal is to transfer to UCLA which is one of famous university in California, and your major is Math which is an attractive job. In short, I wish you are able to carry out your dream that is to transfer to UCLA university and become a Math professor in the…
It has come to my knowledge that there is a limited amount of spots in the ENG 102 class for next semester. I am one of the best candidates to continue into ENG 102 and thrive in Ms. Laduca’s learning environment. Although I do not fear that I have not already earned my spot, I will proceed to justify my case. I have been an adroit student of Ms. LaDuca’s for the last year and a half; she knows exactly what kind of student I am. Since seventh grade, I have been an ebullient honors student in the top ten percent of the 2016 cohort and have not received any grades lower than an A. I always exceed expectations, put in 110% of my effort, and achieve and maintain excellent grades at the same time.…
Journal 30 1. Recently I've felt emotionally overwhelmed with a grade I've received for a math test. I knew everything on the test and I studied the night before, but when I got it, it seemed like my mind went blank. When I got the test back I ended up getting a 51% on it and the test was worth 100 points. This ended up dropping my grade from a 98% overall to an 81% overall.…
In the centre of Kenginston, London stands the Baden-Powell House, a building built specifically to host the boys and girls of The Scouts Association. The location couldn't be better, with plenty of activities all within walking distance including the Victoria and Albert Museum, Natural History Museum, Royal Albert Hall, and of course, Kensington Palace, its gardens and the adjoining Hyde Park. The area surrounding Baden-Powell House plays host to multiple tube stations, restaurants such as Byron Gloucester Road and cafes including Fernandez & Wells, making it a comfortable area that is easily accessible. Discover our list of the best hotels and vacation rentals near Baden-Powell House, UK.…
The determination of the pH of a buffer solution and the pKa for of a weak acid Introduction A practical was carried out to show how the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation works and to apply and hone the skills of pipetting, buffer-making, pH-meter use and graphing. The primary goal of the practical was to determine the pKa value of a weak acid. The Ka is an acid dissociation constant, it is a quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution.…
Homeostasis is defined as keeping the variables and conditions of a system constant and regulating the internal conditions. In a biological system at the cellular level, this can be defined as the process of maintaining stable conditions inside a cell, such as a normal pH, salinity, and ion concentration, to keep the cell healthy. There are several parts of the cell that play a role in homeostasis, but one of the more prominent ones is the phospholipid bilayer membrane. The cell membrane surrounds the cell, and therefore plays a large role in keeping the internal conditions of the cells constant.…
All living systems contain buffer solutions to sustain the structure and activity of biological components such as DNA, RNA, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. Buffer solutions are remarkably resistant to pH changes and generally consist of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. In the laboratory, artificially made buffers are often used to help maintain a biological system at the proper pH. A laboratory buffer should be inert in the system being studied. For example, Tris buffer is unsuitable for some protein assays because it reacts with the assay components.…
