TL;DR: Iron is required for the production of red blood cells, but it's also part of haemoglobin binding to the oxygen and thus facilitating its transport from the lungs via the arteries to all cells throughout the body.
Abstract: Iron is an essential element for most life on Earth, including human beings by participating in a wide variety of metabolic processes, including oxygen transport, DNA synthesis, and electron transport. Iron is needed for a number of highly complex processes that continuously take place on a molecular level and that are indispensable to human life, e.g. the transportation of oxygen around your body. Iron is required for the production of red blood cells (a process known as haematopoiesis), but it's also part of haemoglobin (that is the pigment of the red blood cells) binding to the oxygen and thus facilitating its transport from the lungs via the arteries to all cells throughout the body. About 70% of the body's iron is bound to hemoglobin in red blood cells. The rest is bound to other proteins (transferrin in blood or ferritin in bone marrow) or stored in other body tissues. When red blood cells die, their iron is released and carried by transferrin to the bone marrow and to other organs such as the liver and spleen. In the bone marrow, iron is stored and used as needed to make new red blood cells. Once the oxygen is delivered the iron (as part of haemoglobin) binds the carbon dioxide which is then transported back to the lung from where it gets exhaled. Iron is also involved in the conversion of blood sugar to energy. Metabolic energy is crucial for athletes since it allows muscles to work at their optimum during exercise or when competing.The production of enzymes (which play a vital role in the production of new cells, amino acids, hormones and neurotransmitters) also depends on iron, this aspect becomes crucial during the recovery process from illnesses or following strenuous exercise or competing.

TL;DR: Qualitative phytochemical analysis of Methanolic Extract of leaves of Clerodendron infortunatum confirms the presence of various phytochemicals like sterols, terpenoids, alkaloids, carbohydrates, tannins, and glycosides in its methanolic extract, whereas flavonoids, phenols and saponins were found to be absent.
Abstract: Plants of genus Clerodendron belongs to family Verbenaceae and have been widely employed for controlling the various disease. Objective of the present study was to do preliminary phytochemical screening of Methanolic Extract of leaves of Clerodendron infortunatum. Qualitative phytochemical analysis of this plant confirms the presence of various phytochemicals like sterols, terpenoids, alkaloids, carbohydrates, tannins, and glycosides in its methanolic extract. Whereas flavonoids, phenols and saponins were found to be absent. This preliminary study draws attention to the need for further studies of the active secondary metabolites identified in the reported species for the treatment of many diseases also to understand their mode of action in controlling various dreadful diseases. Keywords-Phytochemical, Clerodendron infortunatum , Methanolic Extract, Secondary metabolites.

TL;DR: In this paper, high-porous structures of activated carbon were obtained from oil palm shell and their adsorptive characteristics and surface chemistry were investigated. And the results showed that the activated carbon produced from 500-700 o C exhibit Type I isotherm, characteristics of microporous structure.
Abstract: Highly-porous structures of activated carbon were prepared from oil palm shell. Their adsorptive characteristics and surface chemistry were investigated. Five series of activated carbons were obtained at different temperatures using chemical activation with potassium hydroxide. The results show that the activated carbon produced from 500-700 o C exhibit Type I isotherm, characteristics of microporous structure. The activated carbon prepared from 800-900 o C show a combination Type I and IV isotherm with wide hysteresis loop indicating mesoporous structures. The BET surface area and total pore volume increased almost linearly with increasing activation temperatures resulting 2301 m 2 g -1 and 0.55 cm 3 g -1 , respectively. Modification of surface chemistry of the activated carbon using chemical treatment with nitrit acid have increased the number of total acid groups. Reaction between nitric acid and activated carbons sharply increased the total acid groups containing of carboxylic, lactonic and phenolic groups as oxygen-surface functional groups. Reaction urea and ammonia with activated carbon provided a numbers of the total basic groups as N-H and NH2 groups, indicating the presences of nitrogen-surface functional groups.
