.... light, and rotations are excited by microwaves” (Tissue). IR spectroscopy is the measurement of the wavelength and intensity of the absorption of infrared light by a sample. The wavelength of IR absorption bands are characteristic of specific types of chemical bonds. An IR spectrophotometer is an instrument which is designed to obtain an infrared spectra of a molecule. An IR spectra is obtained by first irradiating a sample with an IR source of light. The light passes through the sample, which can be in solution or conta .....

.... what the lamprey uses to pierce the flesh of fishes. The adult forms of lamprey die soon after spawning and reaching their mature form. Lampreys mostly live in freshwater streams and seas of temperate and subartic regions throughout the world, except for Southern Africa. The sea lamprey is a marine species. They are native to the Atlantic Coast of North America and Europe. In many areas it has adapted to a life cycle spent entirely in freshwater. The sea lamprey invaded Lake Erie in the 1920’s, where its warm water was good for reproduction. They migrated t .....

.... the entire body or part of the body. This is believed to be caused by an enzyme deficiency involving the metabolism of melanin during prenatal development. This can be inherited by an dominant or recessive trait. In complete , there is lack of pigmentation in skin and hair, as well as in retinal and iris tissue; in incomplete , skin and hair may vary from pale to normal; in ocular , function may vary from norma to impaired. Impairments may involve the retina and iris. If a person has then they usually have somewhere between 20/70 and 20/200 visual. Ty-Neg .....

.... kangaroos that live in the coastal regions also have several special adaptations. They have wider feet to allow them to walk is shallow water. They can eat several different types of sea plants. They can do this because they have a higher tolerance to salt than normal kangaroos. Kangaroos that live in forests have adapted to this climate as well. Their feet are wide to allow them to climb trees. This allows them to eat leaves off of the trees. They also do not have claws as long as other species. There is usually a larger supply of fresh water in the .....

.... levels of chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm into actual or potential water sources. There is also the Toxic Pits cleanup act of 1984. This act states that there is to be no discharge of hazardous wastes within an half a mile of a potential drinking water source. This is something being done, but water does travel and seep through ground so what is this act really doing. The clean water act is designed to protect ground water indirectly by protecting the quality of surface water. The standards for the surface water require sewage treat .....

.... way. The rocky coast of Hawaii was formed by successive flows of lava into the sea which have not had time to collect sediment. Life on the rocky shores is separated into distinct zones that reflect the length of time each is exposed. At the highest point on the rocks is the black zone, marked by blue-green algae. This transition area between land and the marine environment is flooded only during the high spring tides. The algae, enclosed in gelatinous sheaths to resist drying, are grazed on by periwinkles, which are protected under tightly sealed, conic .....

.... reigns supreme throughout the solar system. Named after the Roman god Jove, the ruler of Olympus; Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun and is also the largest planet in the Earth’s solar system. It is 318 times more massive than Earth and is two thirds of the planetary mass in the solar system. Jupiter’s surface, unlike earth, is gaseous and not a solid. It is about 90% hydrogen and 10% helium with traces of methane, ammonia, water and rock. Jupiter’s interior is very similar to the Sun’s interior but with a far lower temperature. However, it is still unknown .....

.... have a desire to quench the thirst for knowledge that lies deep within ourselves. As for myself, I cannot believe in a being which created a universe and a multitude of worlds in a rather short period of time then deigns to lower itself into becoming a puppet-master and "pulling the strings" of the Earth and all of the people therein. Since this paper touches upon many scientific terms, I feel that in order for the reader to correctly grasp the content I must first define three words: Theory, Law, and Hypothesis. The definitions will allow for a gre .....
