Add a coefficient to the single carbon atom on the right of the equation to balance it with the 3 carbon atoms on the left of the equation. c 3 h 8 + o 2--> h 2 o + 3co 2 The coefficient 3 in front of carbon on the right side indicates 3 carbon atoms just as the subscript 3 on the left side indicates 3 carbon atoms.
Tyrosine is an amino acid that is the foundational building block of dopamine. L-tyrosine is converted into levodopa which is, in turn, converted into dopamine. When tyrosine is taken at levels that are greater than what is possible from diet alone, central nervous system amounts of dopamine increase.
One chemical that may help boost dopamine levels in the brain is vitamin B6. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, vitamin B6 obtained from the diet acts as a precursor for a number of neurotransmitters, including dopamine. As a result, meeting the daily recommended dose of vitamin B6 helps ensure your brain can make the dopamine it needs to function properly.
