Ozone O 3    is a gas having low boiling point.It is present in a small  concentration throughout  the atmosphere . UNITS The amount of the Ozone in the atmosphere is expressed in Dobson units(DU). The normal amount of overhead ozone is about 350 DU. PRESENCE: The stratosphere where the ozone layer exist in the atmosphere is approximately at 15 to 40 KM altitude and is just  above the troposphere which extend to an altitude of 0-15 KM. from the earth. The temperature in the troposphere decreases with the increasing altitude from 15 to -56 degree. It is because the air near the earth is heated up by radiations re-emitted from the earth . Where as the temperature in the stratosphere increases with the increases of altitude ; -56 to -2 degree. The Ozone is the main chemical species which is present in the stratosphere which absorb the ultraviolet radiation and increases the temperature of the upper part of the ozone layer. ADVANTAGES: The ozone...

Flavors are basically chemical compounds. These are Esters of Carboxylic Acids. The Drinks which are being sold in market are consist of these chemicals (artificial flavors) . Some important   Chemicals present in   these drinks are listed below. Esters Flavors Amylacetate Isobutylformate Benzylacetae Ethylbutyrate Amylbutyrate Octylactate Banana Raspberry Jasmine Pineapple Apricot Orange When we are using a drink made of such artificial flavors then it depends upon the brand of that drink to which company it is related. Because quality control is very important in this respect . Branded companies have a strong quality control department so always prefer to take branded products . Presence of chemicals in artificial drinks does not means we should not use these drinks . The only thing which is  needed, we should be more careful for their selection because it is related to our health.

A Steroid is an organic compound with four rings  arranged in a specific configuration . Examples include the dietary lipid cholesterol. The sex hormones estradiol and testosterone and the anti-inflammatory  drugdexamethasone . Steroids have two principal biological functions: certain Steroids such as cholesterol are important components of cell membranes which after membrane fluidity and many steroids are signaling molecules which activate steroid hormones receptors. The steroid core structure  is composed of seventeen carbon atoms , bonded in four fused rings. Three six member cyclohexane ring ( ring A, B and C in the first illustration ) and one five member cyclopentane rind(the D ring). Steroids vary by the functional group attached to this four ring core and  by the oxidation  state of the rings. Sterols are forms of steroids with a hydroxyl group  at position three and skeleton derived from cholestane. They can also vary  more ...

Vitamin B-12, or Cobalamin, is the largest and most complex vitamin currently known to man. A slight deficiency of vitamin B-12 can lead to anemia, fatigue, mania, and depression, while a long term deficiency can cause permanent damage to the brain and central nervous system. Vitamin B12 can only be manufactured by bacteria and can only be found naturally in animal products, however, synthetic forms are widely available and added to many foods like   cereals . Vitamin B12 can be consumed in large doses because excess is excreted by the body or stored in the liver for use when supplies are scarce. #1: Shellfish (Cooked Clams) Vitamin B12 in 100g 3oz (85g) 20 small clams (190g) 98.9μg (1648% DV) 84.1μg (1401% DV) 187.9μg (3132% DV) Other Shellfish High in Vitamin B12 (%DV per 3oz serving cooked):   Oysters (408%), and Mussels (340%).   Click to see complete nutritionfacts. #2: Liver (Beef) Vita...

Vitamin D is an essential vitamin required by the body for the absorption of calcium, bone development, immune functioning, and alleviation of inflammation. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to rickets, a weakened immune system, increased cancer risk, poor hair growth, and osteomalacia. Excess vitamin D can cause the body to absorb too much calcium, leading to increased risk of heart disease and kidney stones. The current U.S. Daily Value for vitamin D is 600 IU (international units) and the toxicity threshold is thought to be 10,000 to 40,000 IU/day. 2 Sometimes vitamin D values are given in micrograms (mcg,μg), when this is the case remember that 1μg=40IU for Vitamin D. Vitamin D is oil soluble, which means you need to eat fat to absorb it. Natural foods high in vitamin D include fish oils, fatty fish, mushrooms, beef liver, cheese, and egg yolks. Vitamin D is also naturally made by your body when you expose your skin to the sun, and is called the sun-shine vitamin. In addition, vitami...
