Gelatin is a protein substance that comes from the skins and bones of animals. Most people
know it as the substance used to make a jellylike salad or dessert. Not only is it useful in making
these foods, but it is also beneficial to the consumer because of its high protein content. Gelatin is
also commonly used in the photographic industry and in making medicinal capsules.
The process for producing gelatin is a long and complex one. In the processing of gelatin
made from bones, which varies slightly from that of gelatin make from skin, the grease first must be
eliminated. Then, the bones are soaked in a solution of hydrochloric acid in order to rid them of
minerals and are washed several ties in water. Next, the bones are placed in distilled water, heated to
over 90oF for a few hours, placed in fresh distilled water, and then heated again at a little over
100oF. A fluid forms from this heating, and it is concentrated, chilled, and sliced. Finally, it is
dried and ground. In its final form, gelatin is white, tasteless, and odorless.

The following text is for questions no 8 – 16
It has long been known that when exposed to light under suitable conditions of temperature
and moisture, the green parts of plants use carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen to
it. These exchanges are the opposite of those that occur in respiration. The process is called
photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, carbohydrates are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water by
the chloroplasts of plant cells in the presence of light. In most plants, the water used in
photosynthesis is absorbed from the soil by the roots and trans- located through the xylem of the root
and stem to the leaves. Except for the usually small percentage used in respiration, the oxygen
released in the process diffuses out of the leaf into the atmosphere through the stomata. Oxygen is
the product of the reaction. For each molecule of carbon dioxide used, one molecule of oxygen is
released. A summary chemical equation for photosynthesis is:
As a result of this process, radiant energy from the sun is stored as chemical energy. In turn
the chemical energy is used to decompose carbon dioxide and water. The products of their
decomposition are recombined into a new compound, which is successively built up into more and
more complex substances.
After many intermediate steps, sugar is produced. At the same time, a balance of gases is preserved
in the atmosphere.
