IV. Discussion The Concentration Gradients is known as known as diffusion. They are spontaneous process because there is no energy input at the beginning (Reece et al., 2011). Each substance could diffuse to its own concentration gradient without affected by the concentration of other substances (Scott 2015).In the first experiment of the Concentration Gradients. The color of the clear water was expected to change into the color of the potassium permanganate dye, which was purple. Observation…

Introduction Life could not exist without microorganisms: plants depend on microbes to obtain soil and cows need microorganisms to digest cellulose. Microbes degrade waste and they live in our bodies to keep us healthy. Microorganisms are also used to make vaccines and antibiotics. However, some bacteria are known for causing diseases such as the common cold, AIDS, Herpes, and Chicken Pox. Knowing the identity of microbes is essential for knowing the causative agent of a disease in order to…

One of the greatest issues in the United States and society is Obesity, which has increased throughout time according to the Health Americans website. This issue has not been given the importance that it deserves as an “epidemic” that kills and causes great impact on a person’s health. The average individual in society has never really payed attention to what they consume. Our society has been engulfed in an unquenchable desire for food, whether healthy or not, processed or unprocessed. Society…

Experimental Design Aim 1: Determine the amino acid sensing specificity of folliculin. Since folliculin’s novel amino acid sensing function discovery, I plan to further understand whether FLCN specifically senses a certain amino acid and if this level of detection is enough to elicit an mTORC1 response. 1.1. Determine if folliculin’s novel molecular function in amino acid sensing is triggered by glutamine. mTORC1 activation by amino acids requires FLCN where its lysosomal residence during…

must be processed before it can be released as energy. Therefore, complex carbohydrates should be used when long term energy is needed, like playing sports. But some carbohydrates cannot be digested. Certain complex carbohydrates, like chitin and cellulose, have a slightly different chemical bond that cannot be broken down in the human bond. Although it goes unused, these carbs play a vital role as they become fiber that helps scrape the walls of the digestive tract giving it a helpful cleaning…

granulations. This is when an adhesive is included in the granulating solvent. The liquid forms liquid bridges while the adhesive will harden or crystallize on drying to form solid bridges to bind the particles. Adhesives such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, the cellulose derivatives (such as carboxymethylcellulose) and pregelatinized starch function in this way. • Crystallization of dissolved substances: when the granules dry, crystallisation of this material takes place and the dissolved substance…

Cannabis, better known as the slang term marijuana, has been used for medicinal and many industrial uses for over thousand years. But in nineteen thirty-seven, The United States had made cannabis illegal with the passing of the Marijuana Law of Nineteen Thirty-Seven. This law had officially made possession, use, or sale of cannabis a crime. But why exactly was it criminalized? And what exactly is cannabis? (Cannabis, A, Web; How, Did, Web; Block, Bruce, Web) Cannabis is a dioecious and…

Introduction Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy in plants and other organisms (Reece, 2011). Photosynthesis is a redox reaction where carbon dioxide is reduced to sugar (glucose) and water is oxidized to oxygen (Reece, 2011). The reaction that occurs during photosynthesis is shown through the empirical equation CO2 + H2O → (CH2O)N + O2 (Stegenga, 2015). Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells, specifically within the thylakoid…

The fabrics that will be put to a test are cotton, linen, silk, polyester, and a fabric with fire retardant. These fabrics will be treated in two separate ways. The experimental group and the control group. The experimental group will be treated with the fabrics softener while the control group will be treated without fabric softeners. Each of the fabric will then be lit up with fire vertically to the fire apparatus for 2 seconds. The fabric would be burned for an additional 3 seconds more.…

Marijuana has been an increasingly controversial topic in America for years, playing a central role in American culture and countercultures. Although polls suggest that there is not a large gap between those who believe it should be legalized or kept illegal, the majority believes that it should remain illegal (Milligan, 2014). This opinion is reinforced by the media’s stereotypical portrayal of a marijuana consumer, commonly referred to as a “pothead” and depicted as unmotivated in such…
