.... more of a parasite that invaded primordial cells and evolved along with them. A mitochondrian’s main purpose is to burn energy through a slow method of combustion, which will consume as much air to burn as fire will, just to break down nutrients into simpler substances. These simpler molecules then bond with the atoms that will need the energy to function. Then, enzymes in the mitochondrion break up the atoms and then recapture them again. This time, the energy atoms will be bonded in a different molecule to form ATP, or adenosine triphosphate. ATP has an adenosine core and three phosphates attached to it, .....

.... take an aspirin, eat some vegetables, or even sleep in the house that was once built, you can thank a botanist for it all. Many people, such as myself, would wonder why someone would want to be a botanist. The main reason anyone can name is that plants have intrigued people for thousands of years. Plants are used for decoration, as well as our basic needs, such as: food, shelter, and even the air we breathe. Today, our world requires new needs for plants. Increasing human population is linked to gigantic environmental problems. Among them is the need for mo .....

.... as a hard-disk drive. The best thing of all about the DVD-ROM drive is the fact that it is backward compatible with standard CD-ROM and CD audio discs. DVD-RAM DVD-RAM stands for Digital Versatile Disc - Random Access Memory, and is the approved format by the Official DVD Forum. DVD-RAM are dual sided and can hold up to 2.6 gigabytes per side. They use phase-change as a recording material, “wobbled land and groove” recording method, embossed pits for header information, Zoned Constant Linear Velocity (ZCLV) rotational control, and is a random-access, .....

.... of the forest. The old growth of a forest includes the largest and oldest trees, living or dead. In the case of the North Coast forests, this includes some thousand-year-old stands with heights above three-hundred feet and diameters of more than ten feet. In 1990, the number of spotted owls dropped to 2000 breeding pairs. The preservation of any species contributes to the biodiversity of an area. In an ecosystem, the absence of one species creates unfavorable conditions for the others. The absence of the spotted owl could have a significant effect on the .....

.... of both adults and children afflicted with . Adult psychotic disturbances were noted in the early twentieth-century classifications of mental disorders (Nelson, Israel, 1997). The descriptions and classifications of these disturbances, however, were confusing and controversial. Kraeplin set the basis for modern classification. He used the terms dementia, a belief that progressive deterioration occurred, and praecox, meaning the disorders began early. Later the term schizophrenia was applied by Bleuer. He argued that deterioration was not inevitabl .....

.... beliefs, capitalism, and military conquests. Darwinism greatly impacted the scientific world purely through its specific doctrine. The enlightenment had paved the way for rational thinking and observation. People were willing to accept scientific data as fact and they were able to objectively consider theories that went against the church. Because of the story of creation, Darwinism would have been immediately rejected only a few centuries earlier. People used Darwinism as a weapon to strike at the validity of the powerful religious institutions of the period .....

.... uses around four kinds of microphones as basic equipment; the hand-held omnidirectional, the tiny lavalier mic, which is used by clipping on clothing, a wireless microphone called the transmitter mic, and the shotgun mic. The Omnidirectional Microphone comes in many different shapes and sizes. They are used when the background sound is normally low. They usually work by pointing the mic directly at the source of the sound. This mic is not good for loud background sound because the mic might not be able to distinguish between the different sounds. The Lavalier .....

.... are all 0.1%, Sulfur 0.05% Barium 0.04%, Nitrogen 0.03% and the rest of the elements on the periodic table take up about 0.5%. The elements of the crust are graphed below, but only ones that are the most abundant due to the fact that the abundance of the other elements of the crust are too low to graph accurately on one graph. Almost all elements are found as compounds, however Oxygen, Nitrogen, and to a lesser extent sulfur, gold, silver and platinum are the only elements which can be found in almost there raw sate. The atmosphere contains Oxygen and nit .....
