Between the nucleus and the membrane, there is a polysaccharide matrix called the cytoplasm, where organelles can be found. The organelles are attached to a framework. The cell’s cytoskeleton. Every living cell has the ability to detect signals from it’s environment. The signals are usually in the form of chemical molecules, that the cell has learned to recognize. The cell .....

.... have claws, it has a tail membrane, and it has the most distinguishing feature of a bat, wings (Lauber 9). The upper arm of the bat is short while the forearm is very long. The wrist is very small and from it comes the thumb and the four longer fingers. The thumb is short and used for climbing or walking. The fingers are long and thin. Interlocking the fingers is the wing. This set up of having the fingers in the wing gives the bat amazing flight maneuverability (Honders 22). These bones look similar to a human hand.

There, HIV may cause dementia, which is a condition characterized by sensory, thinking, and/or memory disorders. HIV infection of the brain may cause movement or coordination problems. HIV’s disruption of the immune system makes infected people susceptible to illnesses that are not normally serious. These diseases are called opportunistic illnesses because they take advantage of the damaged immune system. With the .....


Xenon
Number of words: 619 - Number of pages: 3

.... the process separates two elements that have different boiling points. Basic-ally, when a sample is heated, the faster element leaves first, leaving the second element behind. Krypton was known to have a boiling point at a temperature that is lower than xenon. So the scientists could predict that heating the mixture would leave krypton in the container, while the faster boiling xenon leaving it. After the two scientists separated krypton and xenon, they identified it as a new element through the emission spectrum of the gas. Xenon is used heavily i .....


Chromosome Probes At The University Of Toronto
Number of words: 726 - Number of pages: 3

.... to do, are restricted to women over 35 and those who have a family history of chromosomal abnormalities. Prenatal tests using Willard's probes would be much simpler and faster to perform and could be available to all pregnant women who wish to take advantage of the technology. Current prenatal testing involves growing fetal cells in vitro and examining them, over one or two months, to see if there are two copies of a particular chromosome, which is normal, or one or three, which is abnormal. A test using Willard's probes would require only a few cells and a .....


Ocean Pollution
Number of words: 451 - Number of pages: 2

.... will not be enough fish for a maximum sustainable yield, and our fish population will die. Fishermen also clean there fish and throw the guts overboard into the ocean. Industrial, agricultural, household cleaning, gardening, and automotive products are also polluting our ocean. You wouldn't believe it but all of those products I just named regularly end up in water. About 65,000 chemicals are used commercially in the U.S. Today, with about 1,000 new ones added each year. Only about 300 have been extensively tested for toxicity. I think that since our ocean .....

This can cause neurologic deficits such as parplysis, speech changes, increased intracranial pressure, respiratory failure, seizure disorders, and shock can occur. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Mild cases absent superficial reflexes Sudden fever *** exaggerated deep tendon reflexes Poor appetite opisthotnos Loss of energy nuchal rigidity General sick feeling increases resp. tract problems Severe Cases High .....


Murder, Rape, And DNA
Number of words: 340 - Number of pages: 2

.... were handled. DNA Typing is not perfect. There are many loop holes in it. An example is the O.J. Simpson trial. During the process the DNA may be tampered with or damaged. In most rape cases DNA Typing is used by taking semen off the body of clothes then amplifying the genes. The machine that copies the DNA is called the PCR. The DNA is then cut and placed the wells in trays. PCR copies the small pieces of DNA. It is performed by a blotting process. This process has 21 different catogories. Other tests include those for tracing genetic diseases wit .....
