Beta-Carotene

Posted by WaleedAmer on Feb. 16, 2008, 3:25 p.m.

Has anybody here heard of "beta-carotene"?

It's an organic compound.

It's molecular structure's formula is C40H56.

Why am I saying this?

Well, I have a research project about it due on Tuesday, after my three-day weekend. -.-

I'd highly appreciate if you guys would help, because I am completely stuck.

First of all, is it a protein or fatty acid?

I know it's a cartenoid, but that doesn't help me that much. There is not one page I found on the internet with good information, this whole week.

I have never been this stressed out. I have two more days to finish it, and you could basically say I haven't started.

I also have to make a 3d model out of two different materials, showing how it works in a human body.

Why was I assigned "beta-carotene"!?

A person in my class got adrenaline, making me jealous as HELL.

Thanks, if you help. =)

Alright, on the brighter site, go to www.twisterghost.com/waleed.

Also, check out the forums I made, completely from scratch! Sure, it has some problems, but hey, a forums system is a forums system.

Lol, yeah, so just check it out.

PS: ustream.tv seems to be a new trend here…

It's a good site, really.

A quick trip to wikipedia gives you enough info to start with.

CH is actually a fuel. CH4 is Ethyl. So it's an organic fuel source, so it's a fatty acid most likely.

I thought you must have a new beta game called Carotene. >_>

Chesus Jrist, you're learning about that in eighth grade? We don't study that kind of thing until at least junior year.

Tell your bro to stop being unhelpful. He made the site, so he should be responsible for helping me with it.

Carrots are high in beta-carotene. Also, I think it helps maintain your eyesight.
