It is most abundant in the underground section of the ginger plant's stem. Zigerone is responsible for a hot spicy flavor which in urn aid in digestion and increases saliva production. This compound is evidently similar to Isoeugenol from nutmeg. This shows that the common themes of this chapter have striking similarities that connect organic compounds found in Pepper, Nutmeg, and Clovers; which I agree with. ]]> 2017-01-07 14:02:15 UTC https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145813768 parnell_tyler https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145825402 Ascorbic acid or Vitamin C is found within many naturally occurring fruit. During an era of mass exploration an extremely deadly disease was scurvy. Scurvy is caused by a insufficient amount of Vitamin C. Therefore, this molecule is paramount in everyday diets to keep a healthy lifestyle. Vitamin C received its name because it was the third ever Vitamin discovered. It also without doubt is one of the most important molecules ever discovered.]]> 2017-01-07 18:36:39 UTC https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145825402 parnell_tyler https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145825699  Ocalic acid occurs naturally from the oxidation of ethylene glycol by enzymes. It also occurs naturally in commonly consumed plants such as spinach and rhubarb. If consumed in excess kidney damage may occur and in-turn cause kidney stones and other major medical issues.
This chemical is a natural byproduct that has pros and cons: it is important to be aware of this to help prevent damage to any major organs.]]> 2017-01-07 18:45:15 UTC https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145825699 parnell_tyler https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145826329 b-glucose is a twin compound of a-glucose. b-glucose, however, cannot be broken down, naturally, due to the place met of the bonds. Therefore, it cannot be utilized as a sufficient food source. It serves an extremely important role in some other mammals such as horses, cows, rabbit, small rodents, and a select few insects. However it is still peril in our diet to allow waste to easily pass through our intestines. This is a very versatile compound that aids all mammals in various ways. ]]> 2017-01-07 19:03:07 UTC https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145826329 parnell_tyler https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145826758 Picric Acid was synthesized in 1771-its purpose was to dye silk and wool. With a simple process to be created, it was cost effective. It was later found that if a strong enough detonator was wired to the compound it was explosive. It later was applied into french shells in 1885. A common issue with this compound was that misfires were common in wet and rainy conditions.]]> 2017-01-07 19:17:34 UTC https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145826758 parnell_tyler https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145827318 Adipic acid is one of the polymer strands found within synthetic nylon. Nylon is a fairly versatile and new compound. It was invented out of stylistic necessity as well as utilitarian approaches. Nylon soon was taking the world by storm and it would not have been possible without the addition of Adipic Acid. Apidic Acid's role is small in this chapter yet important nonetheless.]]> 2017-01-07 19:38:10 UTC https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145827318 parnell_tyler https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145827683 Tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient in marijuana, it has many medical applications as well as civil applications. Tetrahydrocannabinol is a good substitute too treat nausea, pain, and even come cancers. It over time has become a legitimate medical distribution as it was previously illegal in all states. This molocule is a dangerous drug that if wit the right intentions has the ability to help those who require it. ]]> 2017-01-07 19:50:13 UTC https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145827683 parnell_tyler https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145830898 Isoprene occurs naturally in two forms, cis and trans. The cis form of this organic compound is what gives rubber its elasticity. The natural polymerization is not necessarily cis therefore the properties are significantly different - Trans Isoprene. Which occurs naturally among gutta-percha and balata. From this the gutty was introduced in 1848; the gutty was a sphere of this rubber-latex material. Isoprene offered many valuable advancements society during its creation.]]> 2017-01-07 21:58:32 UTC https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145830898 parnell_tyler https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145831047 Echinochrome is the natural dye for a red pigment. It is similar to another supplement for red which is alizarin, and also carminic acid.
Carminic acid is obtained from the crushed bodies of a female cochineal beetle. It produces a scarlet color and is one of the oldest used color dies. Mexican conquistadors took these pigment and kept it a well known secret for centuries. British infantry uniforms were dyed with this color. ]]> 2017-01-07 22:07:24 UTC https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145831047 parnell_tyler https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145831198 Penicillin has many instrumental purposes in history. It strongly entered chemist minds in late 1939 with the beginnings of world war two. It started at Oxford University; it was tested on an ill police officer who saw improvement over night. It was not synthetically created until 1957. Penicillin serves as one of the greatest medical achievements in the 20th centuries. ]]> 2017-01-07 22:17:39 UTC https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145831198 parnell_tyler https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145855325 Androsterone was the first ever isolated male hormone. Androsterone is a metabolized variant of Testosterone and is eradicated from the body as typical waste is. The two structures of Testosterone and Androsterone are extremely similar and can be found in some steroids for increases physical performance. This organic molecule has effected society from the day it was created and is a good inclusion in this book due to striking comparisons to the widely known testosterone.]]> 2017-01-08 14:19:00 UTC https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145855325 parnell_tyler https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145855664 LSD or Lysergic Acid diethylamide is an effective drug that has two sections. Lysergic acid, which makes up most of the molecule, and chains of carbon hydrogen. Albert Hofmann was the first to test its lethargic properties in 1943. He experienced a "bad trip" after consuming nearly 5 times the current amount to see a major effect. LSD soon saw mass production and is now one of the most used drugs in the world.]]> 2017-01-08 14:25:09 UTC https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145855664 parnell_tyler https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145856420 Caffeine was first discovered as a central nervous stimulant. It is quite possibly the most studied drug in the world and is consumed by nearly 90% of Americans (2016). It has been concluded that caffeine blocks Adenosine, a neuromodulator. Caffeine has many medical purposes such as relieve stress and asthma, treat migraines, and to increase blood pressure. Caffeine is still considered a toxin and can be deadly if consumed in excess. However, this drug is very helpful and has almost no proven drawbacks.]]> 2017-01-08 14:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145856420 parnell_tyler https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145856914 Oleic Acid is the major fatty acid within olive oil. Oilvie oil is a fantastic source of fatty acids because of the presence of Oleic Acid. Oleic Acid forms, as do other fatty acids, from the Glycerol molecule. Oleic Acid is a mono-saturated molecule with eighteen carbon chains. Many fatty acids are seen as a positive support for our bodies, having a seemingly nullified effect on serum cholesterol levels. Oleic acid is an important molecule that helps keeps cholesterol levels in check and provides fatty acids in many different commonly-consumed-materials.]]> 2017-01-08 14:46:28 UTC https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145856914 parnell_tyler https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145857415 sodium hydroxide or caustic soda is one of the most needed salts in existence. It is crucial for industrial production of many household cleaning items, soaps, gasses, and paper. It is produced by running an electrical current through a solution of sodium chloride. chlorine was considered a byproduct but has changed into the cleaning agent we know it as today. Sodium Hydroxide is one of the most widely used molecules and definitely deserves its spot in Napoleon's work. ]]> 2017-01-08 14:55:40 UTC https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145857415 parnell_tyler https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145857615 Ozone is the elemental form of oxygen that is found in the uppermost section of Earth's atmosphere. Its chemical formula is O3, it is created by the attraction of O and O2. O3 is broken down by solar radiation and drawn back into earth's lower atmosphere. Here, the synthesis occurs and the process is repeated. Ozone is of the utmost importance in our atmosphere. More people must be educated on its role and its terminal lifetime. ]]> 2017-01-08 15:00:06 UTC https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145857615 parnell_tyler https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145858404 DDT is a chlorinated molecule which interferes with a nerve control process only found within insects. It is deadly to humans at ~30G and was heavily limited not to effect any mammals. DDT essentially eradicated malaria throughout poised nations. it was sprayed in early 1955 and within 15 years, 1.8 billion people who lived in diseased areas were no longer worried. DDT reduced the cases of malaria in Greece from ~2 million in 1947 to 7 in 1972. This promoted extreme economic prosperity and changed the world forever. Eventually tho bio-accumulation of DDT stuck with devastating effects. ]]> 2017-01-08 15:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145858404 parnell_tyler https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145858944 Iron is a molecule that has forever impacted society.Iron (Fe) has been used to create almost every industrial tool, aircraft, and war items.

Creatine is naturally produced in the kidney and liver. It rapidly increases energy levels and allows muscle to be built more easily and with better support. Creatine is commonly consumed through a powder and can be flavored. This is commonly used for anaerobic exercises because aerobic exercises put your body into, essentially, a different gear which relies heavily on cardiovascular systems instead of pure muscle. Creatine is a very important supplement that has found its way into collegiate and professional sports across the nation.]]> 2017-01-08 15:42:44 UTC https://padlet.com/parnell_tyler/x7el0p6fhpva/wish/145860075
