me understand this topic greatly. The goal of the scientific article if to understand one of the roles of the car in photosynthesis and to explore the role as gatable electronic components. As for the popular article the goal was to explain how biomolecules called carotenoids participate in this process of

bond donor and acceptor, a hydroxyl group that provides a polar end that can participate in hydrogen bonding with water, two amino groups that can act as a base and pick up hydrogen from a surrounding water solution, and a carbonyl group. This biomolecule is a part of the central nervous system and found in the brain and spinal fluid in animals and humans and was originally found in a bovine brain in 1979 (1). Because of where it is located, this dipeptide is more commonly referred to as a neuropeptide

human body approach, and a food approach that can get complex but manageable. Starting with the biological aspect of carbohydrates, they are one of the organic compounds found in all living things, and are one of the most important categories of biomolecules. They the main sources of energy for animals and plants and are also produced during photosynthesis. Carbohydrates have monosaccharides, disaccharides, oliqosaccharides, heterosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Examples are glucose, fructose, and

as CO2becomes dissolved. * The emission of greenhouse gases leads to global warming which affects ecosystems in many ways. * Invasive species can out compete native species and reduce biodiversity. Invasive plants can contribute debris and biomolecules (allelopathy) that can alter soil and chemical compositions of an environment, often reducing native speciescompetitiveness. * Nitrogen oxides are removed from the air by rain and fertilise land which can change the species composition of ecosystems

Hyperthermophiles have some adaptations that enable them to live in hot environment. One of the adaptations is that of the membrane (Stetter, 1999). Since these organisms are subjected to high temperatures, they need to have extremely stable biomolecules to allow them to survive in hot environments. If the stability of the membrane of these organisms’ cell would be low, the cell could fall apart, and allow numerous molecules to flow in and out of the membrane destroying the chemical gradients used

Radiotracers are radionuclides or biomolecules labeled with radionuclides used to interrogate a physiological or biochemical process. They are dissolved in solution and usually delivered intravenously, either continuously or as a bolus. Once the tracer is in the blood vessel, it follows blood flow through the vasculature, and through perfusion, it enters different tissues. The uptake of a tracer into tissue depends on the extraction and clearance of the tracer for that particular tissue. The tracer

What is consciousness? Some philosophers have contended that "qualia," or an experiential medium from which consciousness is derived, exists as a fundamental component of reality. Whitehead, for example, described the universe as being comprised of "occasions of experience." To examine this possibility scientifically, the very nature of physical reality must be re-examined. We must come to terms with the physics of space-time--as is described by Einstein's general theory of relativity--and its relation

fat”, “no saturated fats” or something along that nature. Have you ever really thought about what that literally meant? It actually goes all the way down to the molecular structure of the substance. There are several different classifications of biomolecules that make up all the living things in this world. One of these classes is lipids, it is the only class that does not consist of polymers. There are three subcategories of lipids: triglycerides (fats), phospholipids, and steroids. All lipids share
