Evolutionism
Number of Words: 322 / Number of Pages: 2
... Darwin developed the idea of “natural selection” where living things that reproduced
in large numbers and survived became dominant and other living things adapted to survive, or
they died. Francis Crick, a scientist, co-discovered DNA which opened new doors to the idea of
evolutionism (History). DNA is the pattern by which people are created as individuals. Now
Evolutionism is the only origin of life that can be taught in public schools. However, in private
schools, students may be taught whatever the school wishes to teach them about the origin of
life. States have done this becau ...

The Measurement Of Gas Exchange In Blue Gouramis

... fish.
Fishes have had to develop adaptations that enabled them to adapt to this problem. Since water contains an insufficient concentration of oxygen, fishes use gills to obtain the required amount of oxygen---via the counter-current exchange process. As water enters the mouth of a fish, it passes through slits in the pharynx, flows over the gills, and exits at the back of the operculum (gill cover) (Campbell 1997). This ventilation process serves to bring in a fresh supply of oxygen to the fish and removes carbon dioxide expelled at the gills (Campbell 1997). The water that flows across ...

... It is now strictly protected. Some males occupy a territory of 200 square miles. When there is enough food, the tiger lives in a much smaller territorty. It lives in the forest, the grassland, or the swamps.

Between The Forest And Greed
Number of Words: 916 / Number of Pages: 4
... long term outcomes.
Any industry that capitalizes on earth's resources figuratively signs a
pact with the earth. This pact bonds this industry to the earth and requires
that any harvesting of resources is not done so with haste and waste. There is
a symbiotic relationship between the two. For the industry to exist there must
be a constant supply of the resource. Without a constant supply the industry
dies. Now, many people believe that the logging industry's objective is to cut
down all the trees that are currently standing. As horrific as this scenario
may sound, it is far from the truth. Wi ...

... salamander embryo, and obtained a normal salamander from each cell. Thirty-six years later, Spermann used nuclear transportation to create a clone. He took the nucleus, the cellular structure that contains the most genetic material and controls growth and development, and removed it from an egg cell of an organism. Spermann had successfully created another clone. Later on, other scientists were able to clone plants very easily. Plants are simple in structure and them became very popular with scientists. In the lab scientists have cloned carrots, pine trees, and African violets. This technique of ...

... could compete effectively, and that the federal government would have to assume a major share in their construction. Motivated by the search for the multiple use of water resources, including navigation, flood control, and irrigation, in addition to power production, the Tennessee Valley Authority, or TVA, started government participation in large-scale waterpower development in 1933.
Most major installations depend on a large water-storage reservoir upstream of the dam where water flow can be controlled and a nearly constant water level can be assured. In contrast to storage-type plants, which depe ...

Nuclear Energy: Uranium Fission

... billion) of uranium, so the 1.4x10^18 tons of sea water contains 4.6x10^9
tons of uranium. All the world's electricity usage, 650GWe could therefore be
supplied by the uranium in sea water for 7 million years(Energy 25). This is a
only a theoretical number because it is not possible to get all of the uranium
out of our vast oceans. Also, it does not include the fact that in that many
years, half of the uranium will no longer exist due to radioactive decay. So,
at worst, we would get about 2 million years of power from it. Thorium is
another element than can be used in nuclear reactors. Thorium is ...
