The findings, published today in the peer-reviewed journal Emu – Austral Ornithology, highlight the importance of Bass Strait as a flyway for land birds and raise a potential environmental threat ...
Antigen recognition plays a key role in both the innate and adaptive immune systems. Antigens are small molecular components of cells or non-cellular biological materials. Most often, they are parts ...
There are five main factors that influence the rate of chemical reactions. These are temperature, surface area, concentration, pressure and the use of a catalyst. These are explored in more detail ...
Chemical reactions involve changes in substances and energy. Quantifying these changes has a number of scientific and industrial applications. For example, calculating the generation of greenhouse ...
Cellular respiration is the process that cells use to make useable energy in the form of ATP. ATP is the source of chemical energy that is essential for survival, growth, reproduction and function of ...
Some organisms live and reproduce in oxygen-poor or oxygen-deficient environments. These types of organisms also need ATP to sustain life. To obtain the required energy they undergo anaerobic ...
Oxidation reactions involve the process where a substance, for example an alcohol, undergoes a chemical change to form a more oxidised product, such as an aldehyde or carboxylic acid. To oxidise ...
We acknowledge and pay respects to the Elders and Traditional Owners of the land on which our Australian campuses stand. Information for Indigenous Australians ...
Carbon atoms are implied at the ends and intersections of the lines in a skeletal structure. Each line represents a bond between two atoms, typically carbon-carbon bonds. Each vertex or end of a line ...
Esterification is a type of condensation reaction as water is a byproduct. Esterification reactions are a fundamental type of organic reaction where an alcohol reacts with a carboxylic acid to form an ...
