Global Warming
Number of words: 2521 - Number of pages: 10.... oxide emissions is an
indicator of human's energy and resource consumption. An examination of
population size, atmospheric concentrations of these gases and global
temperature relative to time and with respect to each other is presented here to
demonstrate the relations among these factors.
POPULATION GROWTH
Many of us have seen linear graphs of human population showing the enormous
growth in the last two centuries. However, significant changes in population
dynamics are lost in the exponential growth and long time scales. If the data
are replotted on a lo .....

Plants
Number of words: 1780 - Number of pages: 7.... not only underpin all food webs
but also modify climates and create and hold down soil, making what would
otherwise be stony, sandy masses habitable for life.
Cell Structure and Function
The tremendous variety of plant species is, in part, a reflection
of the many distinct cell types that make up individual plants. Fundamental
similarities exist among all these cell types, however, and these
similarities indicate the common origin and the interrelationships of the
different plant species. Each individual plant cell is at least partly
self-sufficient, b .....

Genetic Engineering, History And Future
Number of words: 2972 - Number of pages: 11.... of the past. By understanding genetic engineering and its history, discovering its possibilities, and answering the moral and safety questions it brings forth, the blanket of fear covering this remarkable technical miracle can be lifted.
The first step to understanding genetic engineering, and embracing its possibilities for society, is to obtain a rough knowledge base of its history and method. The basis for altering the evolutionary process is dependant on the understanding of how individuals pass on characteristics to their offspring. Genetics achieved it .....

The Importance Of Insects
Number of words: 508 - Number of pages: 2.... way. Many plants rely on insects so greatly that they have evolved around them. None of the vibrant colors in the garden were created for your pleasure, nor was the smell of such plants as the roses, in actuality these beauteous pieces of nature we call flowers use sight and smell as attractants for the bees. Plants advertise themselves to who they want to be pollinated by. For instance, some plants such as the honeysuckle and tobacco only give off their potent scent at night, when other plants are inactive. Although during the day these plants may not be t .....

Chemistry
Number of words: 924 - Number of pages: 4.... became more and more interested in medicine. His
curiosity in this field led him to chemistry. At first Boyle was mainly interested in the facet
of chemistry that dealt with the preparation of drugs, but soon he became genuinely
interested in the subject and started to study it in great detail. His studies led him to
Oxford where he joined such scientists as John Wilkins and John Wallis. Together in
1660, they founded the Royal Society of London for the Advancement of Science.
From this point onwards, Boyle seriously undertook the refo .....

The Greenhouse Effect
Number of words: 424 - Number of pages: 2.... and in aerosol spray cans,
refrigerants, air conditioners, and similar objects. Like carbon dioxide,
the CFCs are trapping more heat in the earth's atmosphere. CFCs have also
been blamed for ozone depletion. CFCs are suspected of breaking down ozone
particles that shield us from the sun's ultraviolet rays. Too many
ultraviolet rays can cause cataracts and skin cancer. A hole in the ozone
has been discovered over Antarctic the size of the United States. The hole
is actually where the ozone has been depleted or thinned by the CFCs. The
use of aerosol cans acc .....

Gene Therapy 3

One reason that I do not agree with the procedure is because I believe it would eliminate the freedom of sexual preference throughout our society. As Thomas Jefferson stated in "The Declaration of Independence," "We hold these truths to be self- evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"(314). If we are told that we have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of .....
