Amino Chemistry - Things That You Should Know

Amino Chemistry - Things That You Should KnowAmine Chemistry is a branch of chemistry that deals with the synthesis of a substance and its chemical properties. Chemical terms such as Carbon, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur refer to organic compounds derived from the elements around us.Amine chemistry refers to the synthesis of different substances, such as amino acids, peptides, amino acids, protein fractions, monomers, macromolecules, peptidases, or it can also be used to indicate the chemical composition of a biological system. There are two categories of chemical bonding: molecular-bonding and non-molecular-bonding. The molecules of a biological system have an amine group attached to their edges and an amine group attached to their center. Amine chemistry has many uses.The biochemical study of amines has contributed significantly to the understanding of the molecular mechanism of neurotransmission. The binding of peptide chains in the nucleotides of the electron transport chain g ives rise to the formation of neurotransmitters. Molecules containing amines, such as nicotine, cotinine, and tryptophan, are involved in the formation of neurotransmitters. A specific study on tryptophan found that it is primarily formed through amine chemistry. Amine chemistry is used in a number of studies.The simplest amino acids are the leucine and isoleucine amino acids. These amino acids are the building blocks of protein. One amino acid will not form a protein compound, but they form parts of other compounds. One such compound is glycine, which forms part of purines, in this case the part of purines, which is useful for DNA and RNA synthesis. One may wonder why these amino acids have to be such a part of the protein when it is a naturally occurring substance.Amino acids are also present in some vegetables and other foods. Certain vegetables have a higher content of isoleucine, one of the amine groups. The presence of these amino acids are very important to the synthesis of p roteins in the body.Amino acids are found in all living cells in nature. But the enzyme aminopeptidase is responsible for breaking them down. Amino acids are required for the body to function properly. They are broken down during metabolism, so that it is possible for a cell to produce energy through metabolism.Amine chemistry can be used for many applications in many fields. This type of chemistry can be used to produce peptides, pharmaceuticals, biological medications, and drug compounds. One need not go far to discover how this discipline can be of help in different fields.

Why are Sunsets Red

Why are Sunsets Red If youre just like most people then you feel happy and excited about the beautiful scene of an orange-red sunset. Have you ever asked why are sunsets red? No? Well, go on reading and learn the knowledge to impress your school-aged boy who shows some interest in science The short answer to the question Why are Sunsets Red is because of the Scattering of Light. Light can be regarded as ray or particle. First, lets use the particle model. Our dear sun bombards the earth each day with tons of light particles called photons. Upon entering the atmosphere of our planet Earth these photons interact with the molecules in the air. Most of our atmosphere is made of Nitrogen molecules (N2). When photon hits a Nitrogen molecule it is absorbed and then re-emitted. Physicists would say these photons promote one of the electrons orbiting the Nitrogen nucleus into a higher level. But the new orbit of the electron is not stable. It spirals back to its previous state. When doing so it re-emits one photon. This absorption and emission process is call scattering of light. Now lets apply the ray (or wave) model to the light. Each wave or light has a wave length. It is the wave length which determines the color of light. Red light means a more longer wave length while blue denotes shorter length. Now lets apply our wavelength model to scattering: Shorter wave lengths (blue light) are scattered more intensely than red light. In fact, a small change in wave length has a large impact on scattering. To be precise, scattering is inversely proportional to the cube of the wavelength. In other words, shorter blue light gets scattered much more intensely than longer red light. Using our concept of scattering think of a red sun set as follows: The light coming from our sun as equal portions of red and blue light. Also think of the suns white light to consist only of blue and red components. The red light shines straight through the atmosphere while the shorter blue wave is scattered (washed out) and will shine on observers elsewhere. In other words sunsets are red because the blue light is washed out from the suns whole light spectrum. Only red light remains. Moreover, now you known why the sky is blue: These are the scattered photons criss-crossing our sky until they reach our eyes and do not participate in sun-sets. Setting the intricacies of physics aside, I like to share some trivia about worlds most beautiful sunset. While opinions differ and people would say sunsets are most beautiful in San Francisco, on a Caribbean cruise or in the middle of the sand-swept Sahara, there is a consensus for the worlds most appreciated sunset: This at Oia a place on the Greek island of Santorini. Hundreds gather nightly in Oia, taking up every last inch of space along its rock walls, stairs, gates and pathways to snap photos and give a loud and rousing round of applause as the sun sinks into the Aegean Sea. The last rays creating a spectacular light show over the whitewashed town.

Dear Nicole Arbour and Fat People

Dear Nicole Arbour and Fat People (image courtesy of www.zap2it.com) The criticism Arbour has received has also been thoughtful and in some cases funny. Notable YouTuber David So has made a response video titled “Dear Skinny People” satirizing Arbour’s own video and pointing out obvious problems with Arbour’s video. The controversy has been a mixed bag for Arbour herself. Some claims have come forward that she was fired from a potential movie deal after the director saw the video, but confirmation was lacking on sides. Time magazine has said that Arbour meant the video to be a deliberate overreaction and satire in and of itself, poking fun at obese people rather than outright shaming them. Interestingly enough in Time, they claimed Arbour had 159,000 subscribers, but as of the writing of this article the number was nearer to 209,000. Most people have criticized this response in a twofold way. Firstly, the suggestion that this is a joke, even on a comedy channel, seems a bit odd. The video is very deliberate and not actually very amusing. There seems to simply be shock value in this video, not satire. The difference is that satire seeks to change the problem to be mocked in the video, in this instance fat shaming. The problem with this video is that it has not fulfilled the role it set out to fill that of a social indicator of a larger problem using humor. The second concern raised is whether this is tactful enough to even be effective at getting a meaningful response. The video certainly has been a spark to talk about larger problems. The issue of obesity is not a new one by any stretch of the imagination. America has been getting fatter according to a study published by the Jama Network Journal. Every day we seem to have some reminder that we Americans are fat. Just look at how other nations see us. They imagine a rude white obese guy with a beer in one hand and an American flag in the other. Well then would it interest the world to know that the majority of American adults are not obese? According to the CDC, 35 percent of America is obese. That is a large group of Americans: 78.6 million people to be exact. It is, you will note however, not the majority of Americans. America’s popular image is therefore reflective of a minority of people and not an accurate representation of America. At the same time, that group of Americans that experience obesity are a large minority and as such this is not a small problem. It is, like most however, not a simple problem. America’s obesity epidemic is disproportionately focused in the Southern and Midwestern states with Mississippi and West Virginia receiving  the highest average BMI ratings by the CDC consistently. (image courtesy of the CDC) These states correspondingly have the lowest GDP consistently. This link between poverty and obesity is well established. So the idea that it is just laziness or lack of exercise that leads to obesity is not entirely true. The cause is more rooted in diet and socio-economic status since the latter directly affects the former. The interesting thing to note is the socio-economic status and diet link in this problem. College students are an increasingly at-risk group for obesity. According to work done by the Journal of American College Health, college students have lifestyle factors, like those of disparaged citizens in West Virginia and Mississippi that adversely affected their BMI. The students studied pointed to being worried about or obsessing over food as well as lack of physical exercise as possible causes. Although the rate of approximately 22 percent obese was not as high as in other parts of the U.S., it is troubling to note that fat deposits put onto one’s body in early adulthood become increasingly difficult to remove because of lifestyle changes. Most adults seeking a college education will lead largely sedentary lives, sitting down for extended periods. This leads to back pain, decreased productivity, and more weight gain. While Arbour has stirred up much controversy with her viral video, she has also done the amazing job of sparking a more profound discussion of how we treat the obese, how we respond to this epidemic, and how we ourselves can fight bad habits to promote our own health and wellbeing.

4 Easy Weeknight Dinner Meal Prep Recipes

4 Easy Weeknight Dinner Meal Prep Recipes pexels.com The reason being that it works. If you’re looking to lose weight, bulk up, eat healthy, or simply make your life a little less hectic and more organized, then meal prepping will help you tremendously. Meal prepping is especially helpful for individuals who follow special diets such as vegans, Paleo eaters, or those who suffer from gluten intolerance since it can be hard to find dishes that conform to their dietary needs on a whim. However, meal prepping has received a lot of mainstream attention as more and more people try to get a handle on the week ahead. Its also a great way to ensure that you eat healthy and when you need to, and not to mention for much less than buying meals at a restaurant. By simply Google searching the phrase “meal prep” you will find thousands of recipes for preparing everything from breakfast and lunch, to snacks and smoothies ahead of time. In my own life, I’m a big believer of meal prepping dinners. I find I have the tendency to eat crappiest after a long day of work when I would just rather buy something and get it over with. But ever since I started preparing my dinners, I find that not only are my meal choices drastically healthier, all that I have to do once I arrive home is put on my comfy pants and pop a dish in the microwave or oven and I’m good to go. It especially diverts my temptations to go out on weeknights knowing that I already have food waiting for me once I arrive home. All that I do is dedicate my Sunday or Monday evening (depending on the week) to cooking up a big batch of a meal or two, that I just divide in Tupperware containers and save in the fridge for the remainder of the week. I promise that meal prepping is not only limited to chicken breasts and broccoli; there are an endless variety of healthy meals to be prepped. Take a look at a few of my favorite dinner meal prep recipes below! Burrito Bowl Mason Jars Everybody loves a good chipotle bowl, except for the extra butter and sodium. This chipotle take has all of the same delicious taste without all of the additives. The best part is that you can layer it all up into individual mason jars for a delicious, simple, and healthy portable meal. Image Via strictlydelicious.com Get the recipe here, from strictlydelicious.com. Health Tip: If you prefer a lower carbohydrate diet, you can remove the quinoa or sweet potatoes. Thai Meatballs These savory meatballs are versatile and easy-to-freeze with a hint of curry spice. They can be served in lettuce wraps, over a bed of brown rice, or with a side of sautéed veggies. They will last you for an entire week and the possibilities are endless. Try dipping them in a homemade peanut sauce for an added Thai bonus. Get the recipe here from inquiringchef.com. Grillable Veggies Burgers These veggie burgers are way better than any frozen store-bought version, not to mention that one patty has a whopping 14 grams of protein. These burgers will even stay fresh in your freezer for up to three weeks, so that you can easily grill them or pop them in the oven for a healthy and easy weeknight dinner. You can top these with onions, tomatoes, or some cheese. Image Via minimalistbaker.com Get the recipe here from minimalistbaker.com. Health Tip: Instead of bread use lettuce cups to wrap your burger. Cauliflower Fried Rice You may be thinking how can I get Chinese takeout from a head of cauliflower? Well, with this version you will not need to sacrifice a cheat meal in order to eat some yummy fried rice! The texture of the rice can actually fool even the most devout fried rice eater. It’s soft and grainy and absorbs all of the added flavors of the dish that you decide to prepare. The best part is that your typical serving of fried rice can exceed 600 calories (and that’s just one serving!). One serving of this faux Chinese staple is only 130 calories!  You can make a big batch and refrigerate several servings to last you for a week! Add some chicken, shrimp, or beef and you will never have to call your favorite takeout spot again! Okay, maybe once a month … Get the recipe here from eat-yourself-skinny.com.

ESL Learning the Emotional Meanings of Synonyms

ESL Learning the Emotional Meanings of Synonyms Tips from an Irvine ESL Tutor:  Learning the Emotional Meanings of Synonyms Students who are learning English as their second language will need to start expanding their vocabulary at some point. The intermediate and advanced student will often rely on a thesaurus or translator to pick out the appropriate adjective to describe a situation. One thing teachers can work on with students is learning how to determine which synonym can be used as a directly similar word and which synonym is merely in the same category of description. In English, as in many languages, different words carry different emotional meanings even if they have the same root meaning. Take, for example, the word thoughtful. If I describe my friend as being a thoughtful person, I am paying her a compliment. But what if I describe her as attentive or cautious? These words are both synonyms of the term thoughtful, but they have different emotional meanings. 1. Positive, negative, or neutral? One of the first things teachers can work on with their students is determining whether they want to use a word that is positive, negative, or neutral. Its easy to think that all synonyms of a positive word will be positive themselves, but this is not always the case. For example, take the word rambunctious. If I describe a child as rambunctious, I’m saying that they make a lot of noise and have a lot of energy but its not necessarily an insult. However, take the synonym word rude and I’m insulting the person. On the other hand, simply using the term noisy can suggest a very neutral feeling. Students should be looking at a word that fits the mood theyre trying to express. In many cases, the best way to learn this is through practice with native speakers and watching TV shows with English-speaking characters. Its important for students to be able to see a visual reaction when it comes to the emotional choice of a vocabulary term (READ: 5 Ways ESL Students Can Improve Their Everyda y English). 2. The context of the sentence Students should also look at the context of the word in a sentence. Look at the basic but important vocab term love. It can be confusing for students to hear how many different ways this word is used. For instance, stating that I love spaghetti is very different from saying I love my spouse. It might be easier for students to look at words that fit precisely within the situation. Someone has affection for their spouse but probably not for a plate of pasta. Teachers can have a lot of fun with these types of activities but should be aware that students might be embarrassed to have chosen the wrong synonym. Its a good idea to look at the many different ways one word can be used to describe so many different degrees of emotion. 3. Emotionally appropriate language for the situation In the English language, we have different terms to connotate the degree to which we feel a particular emotion. Lets look at the word anger. I might express that I’m annoyed or exasperated that I had to sit in traffic, but I dont feel a passionate rage. The words annoyed and exasperated express a mild to moderate sense of anger whereas rage expresses a very strong sense of anger. Knowing which synonym to use and in which situation can make it easier for students to communicate but also easier for them to understand the people around them and interpret situations without extensive clarification (READ: ESL Study Tips for Taking The SAT). 4. Common usage vs. formal language Most English speakers in the United States use colloquialisms and common language on a daily basis. Normal language is reserved for the workplace, school, and the written word. Many students learning English will pick up formal vocab terms in their reading and use them in a casual situation where it seems out of place. Learning the difference between casual and formal can make their conversation easier and more productive. Lets take the term relax and look at it in two different situations. If a student looks up synonyms to this word they’ll come across two formal terms: repose and tranquilized. Yes, both of these words are synonyms for the word relax but will not be used in a discussion to talk about leisure activities. However, the terms take it easy and chill out connotate a casual situation where people are going to relax and enjoy their day. Accurate conversational skills help ESL students feel comfortable and confident in social situations with native speakers.

Online Square Root of 9 Tutors

Online Square Root of 9 Tutors Square root of a number is represented by a square root radical sign . The square root of a number can be calculated by simplifying the radical by writing the numbers prime factors. In order to find the square root of 9, we split 9 into its prime factors which is 3 * 3. Hence 9 = (3 * 3) = 3. 9 is called as the perfect square since its square root gives a perfect number instead of a radical or decimal number. Example 1: What is the value of the expression, 16 + 9? Here each square root radical should be simplified further. 16= (2 * 2 * 2 * 2). Now pull out the number which is repeating twice inside the radical. This gives: 16= 2 * 2 = 4 And 9 = 3. So, 16 + 9 = 4 + 3 = 7. Hence the simplified form of the expression 16 + 9 is = 7. Example 2: What is the value of the expression, 25 - 9? Here each square root radical should be simplified further. 25= (5 * 5). Now pull out the number which is repeating twice inside the radical. This gives: 25 = 5 And 9 = 3. So, 25 + 9 = 5 - 3 = 2. Hence the simplified form of the expression 25 - 9 is = 2.

Oniline Prime Factor Chart Tutors

Oniline Prime Factor Chart Tutors Prime number is a number which has no other factors other than one and itself. Examples of prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29.. Prime factors of a given number is expressing the given number as a product of all prime numbers. Example 1: Find the prime factors of the number 24? Solution: Given is a number 24. To find its prime factors we divide the given number with the smallest prime number first. 24 2 = 12; so, 24 = 12 * 2 Now 12 can be further divided by the prime number 2. So here we have 12 2 = 6. 24 = 2 * 2 * 6. The number 6 can be further divided by 2. So here we have 6 2 = 3. The number 3 itself is a prime number. So it cannot be further divided by another prime number. Hence the number 24 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3. Example 2: Find the prime factors of the number 15? Solution: Given is a number 15. To find its prime factors we divide the given number with the smallest prime number first. Here 15 cannot be divided by 2, so the next prime number 3 can be used for factorization. So here we have 15 3 = 5. The number 5 itself is a prime number. So it cannot be further divided by another prime number. Hence the number 15 = 3 * 5. Prime number is a number which has no other factors other than one and itself. Examples of prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29.. Prime factors of a given number is expressing the given number as a product of all prime numbers. Example 1: Find the prime factors of the number 24? Solution: Given is a number 24. To find its prime factors we divide the given number with the smallest prime number first. 24 2 = 12; so, 24 = 12 * 2 Now 12 can be further divided by the prime number 2. So here we have 12 2 = 6. 24 = 2 * 2 * 6. The number 6 can be further divided by 2. So here we have 6 2 = 3. The number 3 itself is a prime number. So it cannot be further divided by another prime number. Hence the number 24 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3. Example 2: Find the prime factors of the number 15? Solution: Given is a number 15. To find its prime factors we divide the given number with the smallest prime number first. Here 15 cannot be divided by 2, so the next prime number 3 can be used for factorization. So here we have 15 3 = 5. The number 5 itself is a prime number. So it cannot be further divided by another prime number. Hence the number 15 = 3 * 5.
