Research of synthesis of nitroaromatic compounds entails chemoselectivity because in many cases, there are two or more artificial reagents susceptible to reduction and consequently one of the functional group requires to be preferentially chosen to react. For instance, a solution containing nitro group (R-NO2) and a carbonyl team (RR'C=O). The...

Transport of Substances through Cell Membranes Where it comes to the transport of substances through cell membranes, the mechanisms involved may be either active or inactive. Simple absorption, osmosis, and assisted transport are examples of passive processes. Active mechanisms, on the other hand, include the active transport of particles and molecules. Osmosis Osmosis...

The pH of Water and Its Effects in an Aquarium The pH of water refers to its alkalinity or acidity. A value less than 7 always denotes acidic conditions, while a value greater than 7 denotes alkaline conditions. A value of 7, on the other hand, represents the neutral state. Since...

1) During photosynthesis, mild is absorbed to provide strength and aid the breaking down of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen then reacts with carbon (IV) oxide to structure glucose. The plant then rejects oxygen as residue (Hoefnagels, 2015). The breaking down depends on the mild intensity, which...
