Bubble Bubble The earth is getting warmer, a scientist mostly agree that humans bear some of the blame. Global warming could cause floods in cities and cause the spread of infectious disease. Not many people are looking towards the future of the world. That’s why we at HOPE Corporations have been looking toward the future. HOPE Corporation has begun to design a product to save the

Burkitt Lymphoma Burkitt Lymphoma is a genetic disease first discovered and named after Denis Parsons Burkitt. Burkitt Lymphoma is a type of cancer that is seen most often in African Americans. In Africa this disease is known as Epstein-Barr Virus or EBV. Epstein-Barr's disease is very closely related to Burkitt Lymphoma so scientists consider them the same. Burkitt lymphoma is endemic

C-Fern Lab Inheritance of genes that code for the phenotypic color in Ceratopteris Abstract In this lab we took a green F1 diploid sporophyte population and allowed meiosis to occur to produce G2 haplolid gametophytes. Of the two cultures, Hybrid A gametophytes were produced in equal numbers of both mutants, while Hybrid B produced significantly more pale. These populations were

Cannabis Morphology The cannabis plant is a globally growing angiosperm. Many varieties of the cannabis plant exist. The variety of the plant is determined by the percent content of its chemical constituents. All varieties of cannabis plants contain a class of molecules unique to its genus, these are referred to as cannabinoids. It is these chemicals which are used to determine the v

Atoms Chemistry A Final Review Introduction Atoms make up everything around us from the air we breathe to food we eat and even the stars in the sky. The average layman does not know much about the atom but in this paper I will explain what and why they are. A Brief History The word atom comes from the Greek word meaning indivisible. The concept of the atom had its foundatio

Carbon Carbon, an element discovered before history itself, is one of the most abundant elements in the universe. It can be found in the sun, the stars, comets, and the atmospheres of most of planets. There are close to ten million known carbon compounds, many of thousands of which are vital to the basis of life itself. (web site #1) Carbon occurs in many forms of nature. One if it’

Centrosome Centrosome When an animal cell reproduces itself, these are the only two essential components that must be duplicated the DNA that carries all the genetic information and an unassuming little cell body called the centrosome. The centrosme, in the animal cell, is also called the “microtubules organizing center.” The centrosome is the area in the cell where microtubules are

Archimedes Few certain details remain about the life of antiquity’s greatest mathematician, Archimedes. We know he was born in 287 B.C.E. around Syracuse from a report about 1400 years after the fact. Archimedes tells about his father, Pheidias, in his book The Sandreckoner. Pheidias was an astronomer, who was famous for being the author of a treatise on the diameters of the sun and the

Causes Of Air Pollution What causes air pollution' Air pollution occurs when wastes dirts make the air dirty. People produce most of the waste that cause air pollution. Such waste can be in the form of gases or be particulates (particles of solid or liquid manner). These substance results chiefly from burning fuel to power motor vehicles and to heat buildings. industrial processes and th

Chaos Theory Chaos Theory This emerging science, ‘chaos theory’, is not just a theory, but a whole way of perceiving reality. Chaos deals with predictability in complex systems, such as earth’s turbulent weather patterns. It has made remarkable headway towards solving some of nature’s most baffling puzzles. Scientists and economists have been making predictions about society and mark

Autism Autism often brings to mind a non-verbal, non-emotional, severe behavioral problem child. Some people think that autistic children can not love and can not be loved. This is extremely far from the truth. For one thing everyone can be loved, it’s just up to people to decided if they want to love that person or not. Most people dislike what they don’t understand, and most people

Cell Biology Cytoplasm The cytoplasmic matrix is not an unstructured liquid gel as once was thought. The cytosol makes up some 50% of the cell volume. It contains numerous cytoskeletal elements, organelles, vesicles, metabolic enzymes and sometimes pigment deposits. The matrix coordinates the movement of intracellular organelles, and provides a framework for the orga9nization of enzyme

Cell Cycle A person gets all forty-six of their chromosomes from ones parents in a process called cell division. One very important event related to subsequent cell division does occur during interphase (period between the end of one division and the appearance of the next structural changes that indicate the beginning of the next division), namely, the replication of DNA, which begins

Cell Membranes Movement of Sucrose Across Plant Cell Membranes Introduction: The cell membrane is a barrier between the internal and external environments of a cell. Water molecules are the sole molecules that can freely move across the cell membrane. This process is known as osmosis, and it is stated as being the net movement of water across a cell membrane. For this study, we obtai

Cell Notes Section 2-1 Review 1. What observations were used to develop the cell theory' • German botanist, Schleiden – cells compose not only the stems and roots but every part of a plant • German zoologist, Schwann - made same claim about animals • German physician, Virchow – observed that cells come only from other cells 2. What function do organelles serve' • Eukaryotic

Cells Proteins made from ribosomes attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum enter the lumen of the ER and move to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. A small vacuole (vesicle) pinches off the smooth ER and carries the protein to the Golgi apparatus, where it is further processed. --------------------------------------------------- Mitochondria are bounded by a double membran

Cells Since myosin has a molecular weight of about 200,000 Dalton, it would be expected to be at the top of the gel (not far from the well, on the other hand, actin which have a molecular weight of about 42,000 Daltons, would be further from the top. Hence, it is much smaller and will move away on the graph when plotted. Based on my results, as the concentration of ATP increases, so d

Cells I) INTRODUCTION: - Basically, expts. # 9, 10 & 11 focused on cytoskeleton and cell motility. Expt. 9 required us to detach glycerinated rabbit psoas muscle into thin fiber bundles that when given ATP resumed contraction; moreover, demonstrating muscle fiber protein composition by means of SDS-PAGE was instigated. Then for immunoblotting our instructor began transferring of pro

Cells And The Immune System The immune system is composed of many interdependent cell types that collectively protect the body from bacterial, parasitic, fungal, viral infections and from the growth of tumor cells. Many of these cell types have specialized functions. The cells of the immune system can engulf bacteria, kill parasites or tumor cells, or kill viral-infected cells. Often, th

CFCs And Alternative Aerosol Propellents In today’s modern world of throw-away packaging, Styrofoam, and plastics, many manufacturers produce products, whether intentional or not, that are harmful to the environment. Chlorofluorocarbon is just one of those products. Created in the late 20’s and believed to be harmless to the environment, chlorofluorocarbon was used in just about anything

Change In Temperature The amount of heat needed to raise a substance one degree in temperature is known as the specific heat of a substance. Once the specific heat of a substance is known it can be used to find various different facts, such as the change of heat that takes place during reactions. The specific heat can also be used to calculate the change in temperature for a certain r

Chemical Plants CHEMICAL PLANTS BECOME FOCUS OF SAFETY CONCERN Before September eleventh, an out of town pilot named “Mo” boards an airplane and during his flight starts asking a lot of questions. He was mainly interested in a chemical plant that they had just flown over. “What kind of chemicals are stored in those large tanks'” Danny, the man he was asking told him the tanks were

Chemical Reactions Chemical reactions Chemical reactions are the heart of chemistry. People have always known that they exist. The Ancient Greeks were the firsts to speculate on the composition of matter. They thought that it was possible that individual particles made up matter. From the work of many other chemists, we now have a mostly complete knowledge of chemical reactions. Ther
