No adverse events have been reported in association with the consumption of lycopene-containing foods (Kalai, 2011). Lycopene is synthesized by plants and microorganisms, but not by animals. It is a red open-chain unsaturated carotenoid, acyclic isomer of beta-carotene, and longer than any other carotenoid. This highly unsaturated hydrocarbon contains 11 conjugated and 2 unconjugated double bonds, predisposing lycopene to isomerization and degradation upon exposure to light, excessive heat, and

In the following experiment, acetanilide was reacted with bromine to yield a para isomer or an ortho isomer. The electrophile was generated due to glacial acid, as opposed to using the routine solvent, FeBr3. Glacial acid was used in replacement because acetanilide was a strong activator and FeBr3 would not suffice. It allowed for the bromine atoms to become polarized which allowed for the reaction to take place. The pi bonds of Benzene ring nucleophilically attacked the polarized bromine atom and

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Cell membranes of eukaryotes are complex structures, comprised of a highly regulated heterologous distribution of lipids and proteins (Hanada, 2010). This distribution is determined to some extent by the location and topology of lipid synthases, and results from the trafficking of proteins and lipids (Hanada, 2010). Within the cell, transport vesicles and tubules mediate trafficking by loading desired sets of proteins at one organelle and delivering them to the subsequent

The absorption of light by normal bilirubin (4Z,15Z-bilirubin) results in the creation of 2 isomeric forms of bilirubin: structural isomer (Z-lumirubin) and configurational isomer (4Z,15 E -bilirubin). Both these structural and configurational isomers of bilirubin have substantially different chemical and light absorption properties than bilirubin, are less lipophilic than normal bilirubin and can be excreted into bile without undergoing glucuronidation

Efficiency of Alcohols based on Chain Length and Branch Chains Background Information: Fuels are an important component of everyday life in the world today. A fuel is any material that stores potential energy that is released into usable energy for work or released as heat (Wikipedia, fuels, 2015). When under combustion, the covalent bonds in the fuel are broken and release energy through exothermic reactions. Alcohols are a type of fuel that is safer and more abundant to burn. An alcohol is any

β-phenylethylamine class stimulants prescribed to patients with ADHD and narcolepsy. The approved dose for ADHD is 2.5mg/day for children aged 3-6 and 5-40mg/day for school-aged children. AMP actively exists in both dextro and levo isomers, however after many studies it was concluded the dextro isomer was dominant for use, even in racemic mixtures due to its central and less peripheral action. The therapeutic effects begin 45-60 minutes post oral administration of immediate release tablet with a total duration of

actions of cis- 9, trans 11 and trans- 10, cis 12 isomers.It is likely that numerous health effects are enhanced by synergistic actions of these isomers. Findings such as, inhibition of chemically induced carcinogenesis, enhanced immune system, reduction of atherosclerosis, enhanced growth, fat reduction are attributed to a mixture of these CLA isomers (Pariza, Park, & Cook, 2001). Weight reduction Researchers have theorized about the many mechanisms CLA have an effect on. Some proposed mechanisms

Extended Essay Experiment Synthesizing Borneol from Camphor is a reduction reaction. Objective: The objective of this experiment is to determine which isomer of Borneol, exo-borneol or endo-borneol, will be produced in an electrophilic substitution reaction using Norbornene. Extracting Borneol from plants Borneol is an antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory. Objective: The objective of this experiment is to determine which plant has the highest content of naturally occurring Borneol, thus

Thermochemistry is the study of heat or energy from chemical reactions. Heat energy may be absorbed or released meaning the reaction is either endothermic or exothermic. Thermochemical reactions look at the heat in regards to the surroundings of the reaction to determine what type of reaction it is. The changes in heat are calculated by a calorimeter. Calorimeters calculate the change in heat by measuring the change in temperature and using the formula Q = mc ΔT, where Q is the heat of energy transferred
