A new method of tracking the dietary habits and contaminant exposure of animals in Arctic marine ecosystems is providing ...

And while our bodies naturally make amino acids, manufacturing them for commercial use can be costly—and the process often emits greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO 2). In a new study ...

The acetic acid market is witnessing substantial growth, driven by increasing demand across various industries, including chemicals, food & beverages ...

Linolenic and linoleic fatty acids contain long carbon chains of 18 carbons each, but other fatty acids of similar size, such as steric acid and oleic acid, cannot replace them. These "essential ...

Animals, plants and many other living organisms inhale oxygen to "burn" (oxidize) compounds like sugar into CO2 and water—a process during which the energy-rich molecule ATP is produced. Cells require ...

(A) This is the structure of stearic acid, an 18-carbon saturated fatty acid. The normal numbering system, starting with the carboxylic acid, is shown in blue. The carbons and oxygens of the ...

Carbon is found in organic matter (carbon-based compounds associated with living things), from complex proteins down to amino acids, chemicals so simple they're called the "building blocks" of life.

Carbon dioxide reacts with water to produce carbonic acid. The double arrow means that carbonic acid breaks down pretty readily to form carbon dioxide and water again. A hydrogen atom from the ...
