TURMERIC ( CURCUMIN )

Curcumin is a phytopolylphenol pigment isolated from the plant Curcuma longa, commonly known as turmeric, with a variety of pharmacologic properties.

Curcumin blocks the formation of reactive-oxygen species, possesses anti-inflammatory properties as a result of inhibition of cyclooxygenases (COX) and other enzymes involved in inflammation; and disrupts cell signal transduction by various mechanisms including inhibition of protein kinase C.

These effects may play a role in the agent's observed antineoplastic properties, which include inhibition of tumor cell proliferation and suppression of chemically induced carcinogenesis and tumor growth in animal models of cancer. (NCI04)

SUGAR MOLECULES/CHEMICAL FORMULA

Sugar chemical Formula Sugar, also known as saccharose, sucrose or by the chemical name α-D-glucopyranosyl, is a carbohydrate extensively used in the food industry and homemade food preparation. Formula and structure: The sucrose chemical formula is C 12 H 22 O 11 and the molar mass is 342.30 g mol -1 . The structure is a disaccharide formed by two subunits, one of glucose and one unit of fructose. The crystal structure is monoclinic. Its chemical structure can be written as below, in the common representations used for organic molecules. Physical properties: Sucrose is white, odorless and sweet taste crystalline solid. It is highly soluble in water (2000 g /L) and other polar solvents. Its density is 1.587 g mL -1 . The sucrose doesn't have melting point, it decomposes up to 186 C. Chemical properties: The sucrose is formed by two subunits of other very known sugars: fructose and glucose. One of them is a six member heterocycle (glucose ring) ...

THE EGG FLOAT TEST!

The Egg Float Test Together, and with the help of a small bowl of water, let’s save millions of perfectly good eggs from being thrown away. Egg shells are very slightly porous. Over time, air seeps into the shell making it lighter than it was, and, when it is old and no longer good to eat, it floats. Hence, the egg float test.

GOOGLE FORMS!

DAY 10 /30 Challenge. #e-learning, distance learning & remote learning. The next update for teachers’ where we can use “GOOGLE FORMS” Students and teachers can use Google Forms to make surveys , quizzes, or event registration sheets. The form is web-based and can be shared with respondents by sending a link, emailing a message, or embedding it into a web page or blog post. Data gathered using the form is typically stored in a spreadsheet. Although there are other online survey apps, Google Forms is an excellent free option. I have prepared for my students “GRAVITATION” chapter where I got instant responses and grading too, its a really good application, where you can know how much students has understood. I t provides the best-kept secret of Google Forms and explains how to set up auto-grading quizzes, digital escape rooms, online learning stations, and MORE! 1) C reate surv...
