Argument Synthesis The argument synthesis is not as easy as the explanatory synthesis. For this synthesis you have to take the arguments of others and then form your own argument. This is one reason we talked about logical fallacies in Chapter 2. Just as a quick review, they are Emotionally loaded terms – using terms with powerful connotations to sway the reader’s emotions Ad hominem argument – rejecting the opposing views by attacking the person who holds them Faulty cause and effect – assuming

Abstract Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inherited genetic disease caused by mutations arising in the gene coding for Phenylalanine Hydroxylase (PAH) resulting in its changed conformation which prevents the hydrolysis of phenylalanine to tyrosine. This can lead to an increase of phenylalanine in the blood. Build-up of phenylalanine can be detrimental to a PKU sufferer because it means the individual is not synthesising enough tyrosine which acts as a precursor for catecholamine neurotransmitters like

The goal of the study conducted was to evaluate the effectiveness of different type of diet on rate, in comparison to gLucose-6-phosphate and Glycogen levels in the muscle and liver. Three altered diet designs for liver and muscle extracted in this experiment, high carbohydrates dietary stimulated and increased secretion of insulin and decreased secretion of glucagon. (Iizuka, et al 2004) In prolonged fasting, diminished alanine release is the mechanism whereby gluconeogenesis is reduced and glucose-6-phosphate

In this lab, the production of an amide from an amine was explored through the synthesis of acetaminophen from p-aminophenol. Acetominophen, a major metabolite of phenacetin, was first used clinically as a fever reducer by Von Mering in 1893. However, acetaminophen did not gain popularity until phenacetin and acetanilide had toxicity issues. Acetominophen was a significant discovery in clinical settings because of the increased safety of the drug compared to phenacetin and acetanilide. Today, acetominophen

In the increasingly health conscious world of today, vegetarianism, a plant-based diet devoid of animal products, is rapidly gaining momentum and popularity among the public, enticed and beguiled by its appealing promises of a life free from the chronic diseases and pains caused by treacherous and dangerous animal products. However the complex workings of the human body are not so black and white. Animal products are not the cause of all diseases and vegetarianism is not the perfect diet plan. Both

1. Would reverse transcriptase work based on a DNA template? - NO reverse transcriptase would not work based on a DNA template because RNA and RNA transcriptase work together because they are both single stranded that is why we use an RNA template. DNA is double stranded so it would not work. 2.

Penzias and Wilson were two scientists who “couldn’t make sense of the background ‘noise’” they heard as they studied radio astronomy. Their main purpose was to “increase the accuracy of existing measurements of radio sources in the Milky Way.” However, they noticed a signal that measured 3 degrees kelvin warmer than expected. And it didn’t matter where they pointed their telescope, the measurement was the same. What they were witnessing was what is today called the Cosmic Microwave Background

Introduction Acetone (CH3COCH3) is a colourless liquid which has numerous names such as 2-propane, beta-ketopropane and Dimethyl Ketone(Pubchem, 2018). Acetone is a polar molecule the reason behind this, is because the oxygen in the compound has two unshared electrons which makes one end of the molecule highly negative, this compound also has a double bond between the carbon and the oxygen. Acetone, in addition has single bonds between the side carbons and 6 hydrogens making this end of the of the

Protein Synthesis Alleles are pairs of genes found in certain positions in the chromosomes (see figure 1). Chromosomes are threadlike strands of DNA and protein. Chromosomes are located in the nucleus of most living cells carrying genetic information in the form of genes (see figure 2). Alleles determine the genotype of an organism. The Genotype shows what alleles an organism has by letters either being upper or lower case (see figure 3). These DNA codings determine different traits that the parents

CPs are synthesised by oxidative chemical or electrochemical polymerisation (97) using negatively charged counter ions (dopants) to maintain their neutral charge state. Figure 5 represented the schematic diagram for the synthesis of CP involving oxidative polymerisation from the monomer unit. The introduction of dopant ions and the presence of continuous and ordered π-conjugate bonds along the backbone make CPs electrically conductive (98). Electrochemical polymerisation is favourable than chemical

Kurt Alder’s contribution to the fields of chemistry is associated with diene synthesis. Evidence of his first report was in Otto Diels’s laboratory in 1928. Diels synthesis is a synthetic method, which is referred as the Diels-Alder reaction. The method involves the addition of diene to dienophiles. An example would be the double bonds on adjacent carbon atoms. Another example of diene synthesis is the addition of butadiene to maleic anhydride. Dienes are compounds with conjugated unsaturation

Leptin can be defined as a peptide hormone in charge of sending signals to the brain concerning the quantity of fat the body stores and secretes by adipose tissue (Strosberg and Issad 1999). Leptin inhibits food consumption and stimulates energy through the interactions with receptors located in the hypothalumus (Strosberg and Issad 1999). Evidence shows that leptin (otherwise known as the OB protein) and leptin receptors play a big part in the regulation of body weight. (Coll et al. 2007) The topics
