For constant energy simulations without temperature regulation, use heating steps of about 0.5 ps and a healing time of 20-30 ps. In gen eral, short h eating tim es and large temperature steps perturb th e initial system m ore than Ion gcr heating times and small tern -perature steps. 

Start the heat and wait. It will take about 20 minutes to get going and there usually isn t much to see. The flask will be a nice orange colour from the bromine and it won t change much until just before the end.

The major classes of organic compounds common to living systems are lipids pro terns nucleic acids and carbohydrates Carbohydrates are very familiar to us— we call many of them sugars They make up a substantial portion of the food we eat and provide most of the energy that keeps the human engine running Carbohy drates are structural components of the walls of plant cells and the wood of trees Genetic information is stored and transferred by way of nucleic acids specialized derivatives of carbohydrates which we 11 examine m more detail m Chapter 28...

A nation of one biUion people, China is traditionally regarded as a rice-eating nation. But China grows almost as much wheat as the United States and buys and uses more wheat than any other country in the world. Each person in China on the average consumes 180 lb of wheat every year, mosdy in the form of noodles. The average American eats only about 116 lb of wheat flour per year in all types of wheat-based products. Some nations have much higher per capita consumption, up to 300 lb of wheat per year per person (46—48). 

Com is used directly and ingredients produced from com are widely used for food in Asia, Africa, North and South America, and parts of the former USSR. Much of the com consumed in the United States is in the form of ready-to-eat cereal.
