Public service workers help us in many ways, from saving our life, to maybe just delivering our mail. We need…

A synaptic vesicle will fuse with the membrane of the presynaptic cell and will release its content into the synaptic cleft after action potential has been reached. The relationship between a synaptic vesicle and a neurotransmitter is that the synaptic vesicle will contain neurotransmitter which are macromolecules that neurons use to communicate with each other. For worms, the synaptic vesicles release acetylcholine which will go into the synaptic cleft cause by electrical impulses that go down…

nerve is activated and then will release acetylcholine. This causes the acetylcholine to bind to the nicotine receptors that will cause the receptor to open a channel by changing shape, which allows sodium to flow into the cell. Once full, there is an action potential that that travels down the nerve, which leads to signals that allow acetylcholine to be released; however not all these cells arrive at the listening cell to be cut by the acetylcholinesterase or bound to muscarinic receptors, some…

I agree with the article that there are some issues with Affirmative Action. Mismatch often sets minorities apart from their classmates because they are not matched to the class and will more than likely get lower grade averages than a prepared student would. Self-confidence in mismatched student is undermined and stereotypes are set, do to racial…

This quotation is saying that men don’t take paternity leave because their jobs don’t offer the financial support needed. In the ethnic article, it mentions that employers mostly only call back white people for jobs instead of black people. The article also has research that shows that there is still racism within jobs and that is why the unemployment rate for black people is double the rate for white people. The two articles relate to each other because they show that just because a person is…

Politics aside, 1919 was also a year of a number of huge scales social protests and riots. The Seattle General Strike, for one, was a five days strike of workers demanding a higher wage. The strike first started with about 35,000 participants but had grown to 60,000 by the time it ended on January 16th. Although no violence was involved throughout the whole protest, the Seattle General Strike was, however, considered by many as a radical attempt of overthrowing the US institution. Another…

Lafora disease is a rare, inevitably fatal, autosomal recessive, progressive myoclonus epilepsy. Being autosomal recessive, the disease is most commonly seen in communities that practice consanguinity.

Lafora disease is characterized by myoclonic and tonic-clonic seizures and neurological dysfunction, such as dementia (Monaghan & Delanty,…

I strongly disagree with what Affirmative Action is known as in our society meaning aiding those whose who feel discriminated in other words,” giving special consideration to minorities and women”.

Firstly affirmative action its self is discriminating towards many students and violates the equal protection…
