Chemical potential

"Just do your goddamn job. Where else are you going to earn $5,000 bucks for a three hours work?" Brett Carmody sighed in frustration, then grimaced and pulled the phone away from his ear when his comment resulted in a painful pissed-of shriek of annoyance from the woman on the other end, and peered out the window to appreciate the night skyline. After the noise eventually abated, he returned to the conversation. "I'm not responsible for your impending hangover, however, if you can't make it, I'll send Cassie. Maybe she'll become his new favourite, which would be a pity for you because I'm told Mr Bennett is an extremely generous man." That threat to her earning potential, accompanied by the mention of her rival, immediately comprehended by Jasmine - at least that was her working name -, she sarcastically responded, "Fucking slave-driver. Fine, I'll go," and ended the call. Brett's profession was an enjoyable and incredibly lucrative one, nigh on perfect if only he didn't have to continually manage difficult women. But then, where would he be without his employees? New York Elite was in it's fifth year of operation, catering to the wealthiest and most influential men in the…

presenting my outline for home-building on this mountainous terrain, and my knowledge of the movement of the land underneath the surface, will be valuable for local real estate and potential homebuyers. Lot S, Lot N,…

the wider business. Effective induction also greatly improves staff retention. If a staff member is made to feel welcome, comfortable within the team/role and feels like their needs are met from the outset they are more likely to want to remain within that role. It is not uncommon for new staff to leave within their first month simply because they don’t feel comfortable in their role, aren’t explained their role well enough, or supported in their initial days or weeks in that role. This then…

Electrical and chemical synapses serve different functions in the nervous system, and the use of each type of synapse has advantages and disadvantages for situations requiring signal transmission. One of the advantages of the use of an electrical synapse is speed, as electrical synapses allow action potentials to pass directly from neuron to neuron through the use of gap junctions. This direct passage and resulting speed of transmission isn’t present in chemical synapses. Chemical synapses rely…

Each neuron in the body has a negative, and positive side that is naturally attracted to each other but is separated by a plasma membrane (external boundary) until the energy created by the two is ready to be used. The plasma membrane has protein channels (gates) that allow the diffusion of ions. The three types of gates are leakage (passive) channels which are always open that allow k+ to leak out of the cell; chemical ligated gates which activate by the binding of chemical neurotransmitters…

Administration of APV did not impact the early onset, but slightly reduced the later parts of the EPSP, the same results were seen by administration of APV+CNQX, but the later components were largely reduced thus exposing the role of AMPA in the response. 50Hz stimulation was given which impacted the later part of the EPSP rather than the first, but administration of .25Hz caused the second peak to recover. The article suggests morphological research on the lateral dendrite shows that presence…

As it is moving, gravitational force is pulling it in the opposite direction. As it reaches the highest point of swing, it has maximum gravitational potential energy because that is the highest point from the ground. When it reaches the lowest point of swing, the pendulum has the maximum kinetic energy because this is when it needs the most energy to push it in each direction. However, the pendulum has the minimum gravitation potential energy because it is closer to the…

The interactions with the taste receptor cells will produce an action potential that will induce an action potential in taste sensory neurons. A neuron has 3 main parts: the dendrite, the cell body, and the axon. Information will be able to move faster in bigger and myelinated axons. In sensory neurons, the action potential is trigger at the dendrite. Each neuron has a cell membrane that encloses each neuron. The cell membrane is semi-permeable which mean certain things can go in and out of it.…

and touch) from all parts of the body. On the other hand, the spinal cord is in charge of connecting the brain and the body for information exchanging and reaction. But such a complex process happens multiple times and in difference situations, what is actually contributing to the basic fuction? It brings us to the idea of cell signaling. In the communication of the nervous system, cell receives signals generated from the environment or within the body and processes this to other cells. The…

Introduction The purpose of this lab is to find the most efficient way to capture energy from a combusted chip using a calorimeter. We made a basic calorimeter by using a steel can. Through out our lab we made modifications to the calorimeter to increase the percent of energy captured by the water. Literature Review Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. The kinetic energy of an object is energy that is being used. Potential energy is stored energy that it is not in motion, but has…
