Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
Number of words: 589 - Number of pages: 3.... weight, height and/or head circumference,
2. facial dysmorphology such as thin upper lip, flattened philtrum, and/or short openings between eyelids, and
3. damage to the central nervous system.
Diagnosis can be difficult because many of the critical diagnostic features change with age. It is most difficult to diagnose in newborns and adults. Reaching an FAE diagnosis is even more difficult because only some of the symptoms are present, and possibly not as visible. This disorder cannot be detected by genetic testing because the damage is done after th .....

Genetic Engineering And Its Future Impacts On Society
Number of words: 1731 - Number of pages: 7.... that we don't just do research in order to infect and kill off the mice, we do it so one day we will have a cure for cancer and can save hundreds of thousands of human lives. Of course if you value the life of a mouse over a human then you would see differently. Some fear that this science is too powerful, granted we shouldn't let just anyone be able to modify bacteria, or the human genome, but we shouldn't let our fears blind us to the possible benefits of wide-scale genetic engineering.
Medical uses for this technology are virtually endless. With genetics we c .....

History Of Cell Membrane
Number of words: 414 - Number of pages: 2.... of various compounds across the membrane of a frog muscle, Overton found some interesting results. He observed that lipophilic molecules (molecules attracted to fat solvents) could easily cross this cell membrane, however larger lipid insoluble molecules could not. He also observed that small polar molecules could slowly cross the membrane. Other experiments with the likes of hen eggs suggested the presence of a lipid layer in the membrane. These results became known to biologists across the world and it was generally accepted that a semi-permeable l .....

Frog Disection
Number of words: 838 - Number of pages: 4.... enters the small intestine. Bile has no enzymes but still manages to break down fat into tiny droplets that are ready for faster chemical breakdown. The frog’s stomach is not as complex as a herbivore’s because they have to break down cellulose, which takes a longer time. (Giffard R. & Nat, M 1986)
This concludes my study on the digestion system of the frog.
FROG'S CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
A frog has a closed circulatory system just like humans. This means blood is always enclosed in blood vessels as it circulates the organisms body. Blood also ci .....

Ozone Depletion
Number of words: 794 - Number of pages: 3.... because they are bonded very strongly together
and cannot be broken down by water. This means they travel into the atmosphere
virtually unharmed by rain or decomposition (Goldfarb 282).
The reason these are causing such a commotion is the damage they cause
to living things on Earth. When the ozone depletes, it causes more ultraviolet
(UV) rays to hit the Earth's surface than are healthy (Singer and Crandall npg).
UV rays affect the DNA of every living cell, altering the protein make-up of
that cell (Goldfarb 288). Most importantly it affects "m .....

Irrigating Crops With Seawater
Number of words: 849 - Number of pages: 4.... been testing halophytes, which, is a salt-tolerant plant that can be used for food, forage and oilseed crops. They first gathered several hundred halophytes and began testing these plants in the desert of Puerto Peņasco. They irrigated the plants daily by flooding the fields with seawater from the Gulf of California. The best halophytes produced roughly the yield of alfalfa using freshwater irrigation. In order to show that these halophytes could replace other crops for use they tested to see if the crops could feed livestock. The halophytes have protein .....

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (gad)
Number of words: 1033 - Number of pages: 4.... (Harvard Health Letter, 1998)
In 1994, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) became an identifiable mental disorder with a DSM-IV diagnosis. The diagnostic criteria for GAD are:
A. Unrealistic or excessive anxiety and worry about life circumstances for a period greater than 6 months, during which this person has been bothered by these concerns for more days than not.
B. The person has difficulty controlling the anxiety and worrying.
C. The anxiety and worry are associated with at least 3 of the following symptoms:
1) Restlessness or feeling keyed up or .....
