Carbon Cycling Internal Achievement Standard Science 90953: Demonstrate understanding of carbon cycling Carbon Cycling Internal What is the Carbon Cycle? Carbon is a key component in all living organisms and can be found in both living and nonliving organisms. Organisms will continue to contain carbon even when they change or decay. Carbon is found in a variety of living things and can exist as a solid e.g coal and diamonds, a liquid e.g crude oil or a gas, for example CO2…

Regeneration of enzymatic cofactors is the most significant technical hurdle preventing the widespread employment of biochemical synthetic reactions as a production process for fine chemical manufacturing. The high cost of the continual replacement of enzymatic cofactors limits the economic viability of this production methodology despite potentially significant improvements in product quality and an associated reduction in environmental impact. Presented is an engineered biotic/abiotic…

Especially sencha and other delicate green tea. Instead, bring water to a boil then let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Water temp should be around 60-80 C. The optimum brewing temperature for Gyokuro is 50 -60 C and Sencha is 70-90 C. For Bancha, Genmaicha and Houjicha is 100 C. The second step is put roughly 2 teaspoonfuls of tea leaves into a teapot. The best quality for Gyokuro is about 10g, Sencha is 8g. For Bancha, Genmaicha and Houjicha is 9g. After that, pour the hot water from the…

(spore production with leaves missing). Another unique find was Eastern Dwarf Mistletoe which is a parasitic flowering plant found in the upper parts of tree branches and resembles a pile of roots. Indian pipe was a cool plant; it is white and lacks chlorophyll and is a saprophytic organisms meaning it takes nutrients by absorbing them from dead, decaying matter like…

Paper Chromatography Paper Chromatography is an analytical method that is used to separate coloured chemicals substances, especially pigments. This is how paper chromatography is conducted: Materials Chromatography Paper (Can also be Coffee Filter) Large Beaker (max one litre) Paper Clips/Sellotape & Skewer Stick Water soluble black marker Water Procedure: Draw a ink dot with the marker on each one of the chromatography paper near the bottom end of the paper. Then stick or paper clip the…

1. Discuss how the measurements in Part I (Small Things) relate to the terms accuracy and precision. 2. What is the width of a single DNA molecule in units of centimeters? [The width of the DNA molecule is given by the distance between any two phosphorus atoms recorded in Part II.] 3. Based on your answer to (2), how many DNA molecules would fit across the smallest dimension of the smallest item (from Part I) measured in lab? Write the number in scientific notation. 4. Using the…

These essential parts of the body are small, pointy, round, and help chew food. What are they? Teeth! Teeth come in many shapes, many sizes, and unfortunately, many colors. Each tooth has its own function, as well as its own important structure. Teeth cannot be unattended to though. They must be cared for properly in order to maintain their appearance and health.

Oily skin: how I dealt with it Oily skin: the one thing in life that seemed impossible to get rid of when I was a young teenage boy entering the awkward stages of puberty. And it didn’t help that I fitted the ‘oily skin’ criteria: Asian? Check. Lives on the equator? Check. Going through puberty? Check. Screwed? Check. It plagued my life no matter what I was doing. Whenever I woke up, my face was drenched in oil and if you managed to touch it you would notice how briskly your fingers slid off…
