Learning objectives • Explain the molecular structure of sugars and polysaccharides • Explain digestion and appreciate the complexity of the human body • Experiment with different foods and measure their impact on the blood sugar level Introduction Most people are familiar with carbohydrates, especially when it comes to what we eat. For example, to lose weight, some individuals adhere to “low-carb” diets. Athletes, in contrast, often “carbohydrate-load” before important compet...

Option 1: While we often think of radiation as dangerous, radioactive isotopes are widely used in the field of healthcare as well as in many other fields. For your initial post, choose a radioactive isotope used in healthcare or another field and report on how your isotope is used. Be sure to answer both of the following questions as part of your initial post: a. What type(s) of radioactive decay does your isotope undergo? b. How is your isotope used? Use at least one outside source and ci...

In this section, we explore the rules of energy that we observe in the universe. We see many examples of these laws in action on a day-to- day basis. You will learn how to compare and contrast exothermic and endothermic reactions as well as the first and second laws of thermodynamics.

1. In your own words, describe what is occurring during the process of electron beta decay, explaining what is ejected from the unstable nucleus and focusing subatomic changes. (2 points for clear and accurate description). 2. Write balanced chemical reactions for the following: (1 point each, 4 points total) a. Cobolt-60 undergoes beta decay b. Americium-241 undergoes alpha decay c. Copper-60 undergoes positron emission d. Gallium-66 undergoes electron capture 3. Strontium-89 is an is...

OL Lab 9: Building models of organic compounds Learning Objectives: • Build virtual models to learn about the structure of organic compounds • Draw extended structural formulas of organic compounds Compounds that are based on the carbon atom are known as organic compounds. These compounds commonly contain, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen in addition to carbon. Carbon forms a variety of covalent compounds with varied properties. Carbon containing compounds are formed by sharing electrons, c...

1. A solution is prepared by dissolving 50 g of KCl (74.6 g/mol) to a volume of 1 L. What is the molarity of this solution? 2. You prepare a solution by dissolving 20 g of NaCl to a volume of 350 mL in water. What is the mass/volume % concentration of this solution? 3. When the following reaction goes in the forward direction, what is the base? 4. You are preparing a buffered solution. So far, your solution contains H2PO4- ions, what would you add to this solution to prepare your buffer sy...

Option 1 A growing concern in agricultural and food chemistry is the presence of residues in food. We use many forms of organic chemicals in agriculture and food chemistry and there is growing concern as to how safe these materials are. Choose an organic chemical used in agricultural or food chemistry and report on the functional groups contained in your compound, the uses of the compound, and the safety of that compound. This research will require one or more

Choose a compound that is classified as an ether, aldehyde, ketone, ester, or alcohol, or amide. Report on important applications of this compound using at least one outside source. Next, write the condensed structural formula of a simple molecule with an ether, aldehyde, ketone, ester, or alcohol functional group for your peers to name (do not give away the answer!).

Reduction and oxidation are intertwined concepts that are important to understanding some of the most important chemical reactions in the human body. In this lesson, we will explore the relationship between these terms and the how to identify what chemicals in a reduction/oxidation reaction (redox reaction) are playing which parts.

Week 5 Assignment: Topic Approval Week 8 Assignment Requirements Instructions: Students will work in groups of 2-3 students. Working as a group, students will pick a topic based on course outcomes (COs), research that topic for its connection to nursing/health care. Students may pick a topic from the suggested topics list or instructors may choose to assign specific topics to students. Additionally, students may choose a different topic that is relevant to the COs as long as the faculty approv...
