Electron Transport Chain

The electron transport chain, also known as the electron transport system, is a group of proteins that transfer electrons through a membrane within mitochondria to create a gradient of protons that drives adenosine triphosphate (ATP)synthesis. The cell u…

Metabolism

Picture a campfire. It keeps the body warm on a cold night and provides light. To ensure that the fire keeps burning, fuel needs to be added(pieces of wood in this case). When a small piece is added, the fire burns bright for a bit and then dies down unl…

Cellular Respiration

Cellular respiration is the cellular process involved in the generation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules from the organic nutritional source obtained from the diet. It is a universal process observed in all types of life forms. The glucose (chem…

Here is my literature Beta Carotene HPLC analysis graph. Can you help me explain what each peak is at each retention time? Thank You :D

I have a literature B-Carotene HPLC graph in which showcases a retention time of roughly 23.6 and 25.1. Please help me compare my two different Anti-Oxidant Juice graphs. (Attached) The juices provided are: V8 Carrot Ginger Blend and V8 Original Blend Noticing the HPLC graphs I saw no peaks for the Original Blend for B-Carotene. However the Carrot Ginger Blend showed similar peaks --> Why is this reason? Please explain in terms of Retention time and Area (Under Curve). Thank You!
