Time To Change
Number of words: 747 - Number of pages: 3.... Millions of
gallons of oil, coal, and other valuable resources are wasted each day. These
are just a few of the human disruptions to nature available to our knowledge.
We are conscious of many more, and there are probably others that we are not
aware of. If we do not start taking them seriously soon it will be too late,
if it is not already. We need to reevaluate our priorities and plan for the
future existence of this world.
A group labeled the Earth-Firsters' often attempt to accomplish this task
through drastic and sometimes dangerous methods. As Joni S .....

Evolution From A Molecular Perspective
Number of words: 3032 - Number of pages: 12.... chain in a person's genome, couldn't a laboratory
perceivably reconstruct an exact copy of, or clone, that person? These are all
issues that will have to be dealt with in the near future, but for now we need
only concern ourselves with the objective observation of these proteins in our
attempt to explain our ever mysterious origin. As humans, we are the first
creatures to question exactly where we came from and how we got here. Some
cling to religious creationism as a means, while others embrace the evolutionary
theory. As of now, and possibly forever, neithe .....

History Of The Cell Theory
Number of words: 326 - Number of pages: 2.... the study of
the structure of plant and animal tissues. Along with Matthias Jakob Schleiden
a German botanist, Schwann proposed the cell theory.
The cell theory has three parts:
1. All organisms are composed of cells.
2. Cells are the basic units of structure and function in organisms
3. All cells come from preexisting cells.
The impact on science was very great due to the discovery of cells and
the cell theory. Many or all things were effected by the discovery of cells,
everything was looked upon in a different way. Some people still did not
be .....

Cadmium And Sewage Sludge
Number of words: 1239 - Number of pages: 5.... in air, water, soil and food. For most people, food is the primary source of cadmium exposure, since food materials tend to take up and retain cadmium. For example, plants take up cadmium from soil; fish take up cadmium from water, and so on.
It is introduced into the environment from mining and smelting operations. Other cadmium emissions are from fossil fuel use, fertilizer application, sewage sludge disposal or galvanized pie corrosion. The largest source of these cadmium releases into the general environment is the burning of fossil fuels (such as coal or .....

The Planet Mars
Number of words: 742 - Number of pages: 3.... most recent of NASA’s plan, is this... They’ll use 3 different
space ships: A habitat lander, a cargo lander, and a crew transport
vehicle. The CTV carries them to the habitat lander. They land on Mars,
and do their business. When they’re done, the habitat lander takes them
back up to orbit where they meet back up with their CTV, waiting patiently
in orbit, that takes them back home.
The money issue is being handled in many different ways. The most
successful plan so-far is the ThinkMars plan. Students at MIT and Harvard
are setting up a for-profi .....

Rates Of Reaction
Number of words: 3069 - Number of pages: 12.... dropped in, it fisses and
then disappears giving of hydrogen as it fisses and it leaves behind a solution
of hydrogen chloride.
The activation energy of a particle is increased with heat. The particles
which have to have the activation energy are those particles which are moving,
in the case of magnesium and hydrochloric acid, it is the hydrochloric acid
particles which have to have the activation energy because they are the ones
that are moving and bombarding the magnesium particles to produce magnesium
chloride.
The rate at which all reactions happen are .....

To What Extent Does Acid Precipitation Affect Annelids?
Number of words: 641 - Number of pages: 3.... are produced almost entirely from burning fossil fuels, mainly in power satations and road transport. (Kucera, (1973) The Challenge of Ecology, The Mosby Company.) Tremendous quantities of this nitric acid and sulfuric acid mix are reflected in the lowering of the acidity of rain.
Earthworms (Annelids) are a species of worm which are many segmented. They live in damp soil, usually forming intricate tunnels beneath the surface. Their bodies are lond and cylindrical, and have "bluntly tapered ends and are somewhat depressed posteriorly." (Storer, et. al, (1972) .....

Lime Disease
Number of words: 916 - Number of pages: 4.... dividing into two
cells. B. burgdorferi is approximately 20 to um long and 0.2 to 0.25 um wide, with 7 to
11 flagella. More than 30 proteins are contained within B. burgdorferi1. This bacteria
uses white-footed mice, mosquitoes, and deer as their hosts.
This disease does not discriminate between sex and age; male and female, as
well as old and young are affected. It is widely distributed around the world in the
temperate zones3. A person is infected when a black-legged tick imbeds itself into
them while out in the open in wodded and forested a .....
