About two-thirds into the story, The Samurai's Tale, Murakami faces a big challenge. His lord left him and 20 men of the baggage train to be cannon fodder for the enemy. They are put there to be lure the enemy into their ruse, but there is not guarantee they will survive. Rather, there is a high chance of the enemy annihilating their group. As he solves this impending crisis, he shows a different side of him. He matures throughout the story, and the blatant changes showed up in every action and word he utters during the battle in Chapter 21. Murakami's intelligence and courage surfaces as he attempts to keep his men and himself alive. To start off, the main character makes use of his clever mind and keen observational skills in order to find a solution that will help his men. "The sides of the hillock contained plenty of large rocks that would make it difficult for a horse to gain foothold. Here we could hold out and have a chance, I thought to myself." This shows that Murakami was very careful at scanning his surroundings for locations that will give his division an edge when the enemy arrives. If he did not notice that site, he would've missed out on the huge benefit the hillock provided. At that point, it would be hard to find another location within the limited time that can match the requirements that they need. Secondly, it shows that he improvised a plan on the spot that could actually increase the survival of the group by tenfold. It reveals his immediate…

understand its relationship with cellular respiration and how it can be further divided into photochemical and biochemical pathways. After achieving this knowledge, we furthered our understanding of photosynthetic reactions by and experimenting with the factors that affect photosynthesis, which are light intensity, pigments, and light wavelength. By experimenting with these factors, our group was able to create an action and absorbance spectrum, which allowed us to determine which light…

Photosynthesis has two processes a light dependent reaction and the light independent reaction. A Light Dependent Reaction absorbs and converts light energy into chemical reaction, the formula is 12H20 + Light → ATP + 6O2. It is also very important to know that the there are two types of chlorophyll. The first is that is absorbs blue, purple, red, and yellow. The second thing is it cannot use green…

How does light filtration affect the rate of photosynthesis? Introduction: Photosynthesis is an essential process plants use to convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy, released as glucose. Some of the limiting factors of photosynthesis include temperature, amount of light, the concentration of carbon dioxide, availability of water and the concentration of chlorophyll. Fig.1- The word and symbol equations for photosynthesis. The aim of the practical is to model the rate of…

Observation Why do shadows form? Why does light change directions when it hits a mirror? Why can't you see sun rays in the atmosphere? Why does a sun ray turn into a rainbow when going through a prism? Why do mirages happen? Why does an object's appearance (color) change when in different color light? How do a bunch of tiny colored lights in a television make up just one color? Why in water, does it look like a straw is bent but it really isn't? What happens to a piece…

of light absorbed by a solution, is equal to the molar absorptivity of a compound, times the path length of the cuvette, times the concentration of the solution. First, we measured the absorbance of a cuvette filled with water, then calibrated the spectrometer by subtracting this absorbance from our future measurements. Then, we measured the absorptivity of a 0.4 M solution of CuSO4 and found the wavelength at which this solution had an absorbance of 1. Next, we measured the absorbance of…

Purpose: To investigate the effect of light intensity on plant growth through counting the amount of oxygen produced. Hypothesis: If the light intensity increases, than so does the rate of photosynthesis (which a major factor for plant growth). If the rate of photosynthesis increases, than the rate of Oxygen produced as a product also increases, if the rate of photosynthesis decreases than the exact opposite will happen to the amount of oxygen. Scientific explanation: As the light intensity…

commands! Solid White If you see solid white, it means that the volume of Amazon Echo is currently being adjusted. For this, you can make use of voice commands, the remote, or the device itself. Spinning Blue This means that the device is either processing or booting up. You’ll also notice that the direction of the light will be coming to your direction, and it’ll only change direction when you move because it will follow the direction of your voice. Violet This color means that the Echo is…

The Effect of Varying Wavelengths on Photosynthesis of Spinach Introduction The rate of photosynthesis changes based on the light that the spinach is exposed to. Knowing the wavelengths of light that spinach is most likely to photosynthesize would help in knowing what light to expose spinach to, to ensure that it grows the best. When exposed to varying wavelengths, rate of photosynthesis varies as well. Wavelengths of green light, red light, blue light, and light without a filter change the rate…

will be working with for first grade fieldwork at Grover Heights Elementary school covers light and how we need light to see objects and colors. One of the five senses is sight, with out light you can not see anything. In order to see something light must be present. Some plants and animals can create their own light, but we mainly get our light from the sun, or from electricity. The first grade science standard we will be exploring is 1-PS4-2, "make observations to construct an…
