into contact with. The gastrozooids then attach to the dead/stunned victim, and
spread over it. They digest it, and transfer food to the rest of the man-of-war.
Last, the gonozooids create other polyps. The means by which the man-of-war
reproduces, however, is not yet understood.
The fish Nomeus gronvii lives among the tentacles of the man-of-war.
This fish, which is eight centimeters long, is mostly immune to the man-of-war's
toxin. It wil ...

... lattice energy.
Figure 1
The transfer of electrons involved in the formation of (a) sodium chloride and
(b) calcium fluoride. Each atom forms an ion with an outer shell containing
eight electrons.
For many elements, compounds cannot be formed by the production of ions, since
the energy released in the formation of the lattice of ions would be
insufficient to overcome the energy required to form the ions would be
insufficient to overcome the energy required to form the ions in the first place.
In order for the atoms to achieve a noble gas configuration they must use
another method o ...

... include ampoules, syrup, or capsules. For injection, which is rarely used because of its risk factor, capsules are opened and the powder is added to water. However, this can cause damage to the veins. Barbiturates come in different types such as Soneryl, Nembutal, Amytal, and Tuinal. Small doses relax the user, depressing the nervous system while the effects last up to 8 hours depending on the dosage. Large doses can cause loss of co-ordination, slurred speech, and give the appearance of being drunk. The lethal dose is especially close to the normal dose that is why it is very risky to us ...

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 inevitable and that psychological factors played a role. As time went on many other different diagnostic terms were applied such as dementia infantilis, disintegrative psychoses, childhood schizophr ...

... Mexico. The first few days were nice, but little did I know that I would soon be caught in the middle of a twister.
I can clearly remember being in the car on a humid day with a little overcast. We were driving in the car when all of a sudden the wind started to pick up and it started raining a bit. Within five minutes, the weather progressed and there was so much wind blowing around the car that we could no longer hear the radio. I can remember when I saw a stop sign spinning in circles like a “merry-go-round” with electrical problems. I do not remember how my mother got us home so quick ...

... of starch, the Sudan III test
for fatty acids, and the Biuret test for amino groups present in proteins. The
last part of this lab takes an unknown substance and by the four tests,
determine what the substance is.
BENEDICT'S TEST
Introduction: Monosaccharides and disaccharides can be detected because of
their free aldehyde groups, thus, testing positive for the Benedict's test.
Such sugars act as a reducing agent, and is called a reducing sugar. By mixing
the sugar solution with the Benedict's solution and adding heat, an oxidation-
reduction reaction will occur. The sugar will oxidize, gain ...
