A study using an O2 electrode to measure the amount of O2 produced or consumed over an amount of time with varying light intensities to determine the effect of light intensity, CO2 and diuron on the rate of photosynthesis of Spinacia oleracea. Introduction Photosynthesis is the process in which chloroplasts found in plants, algae and some bacteria are used to convert light energy to chemical food energy.

consequence of the Great Depression. Keynes detected that the economy is not continuously at full occupation. In other words, the economy can be beneath or beyond its potential. He maintained that state intervention is essential to moderate the economic cycle and it was Keynes ideas that have laid a foundation for the state intervention. This was also a social policy that was implemented in the US and UK for economic recovery after the Great Depression. This model embraced a mixed economic…

Poverty in itself however, creates barriers to education; due to the decile and zoning system and European ideal of going to ‘better’ (higher decile) schools house prices in zoned areas are much higher, thus those living in poverty are unlikely to have access to such schools (St. John & Wynd, 2008). Instead lower-decile schools often create an atmosphere lacking of ambition and hope as many children in these schools do not have the basics such as warm clothing, shoes and enough food. Without the…

“We must scrupulously guard the civil rights and civil liberties of all our citizens, whatever their background. We must remember that any oppression, any injustice, any hatred, is a wedge designed to attack our civilization.” (President Franklin D. Roosevelt) Although the quote above was given in 1940, the sentiment is applicable to this modern day. In the United States of America, rights are given to citizens and protected predominantly by the Bill of Rights, however, some are found throughout…

there is nothing that can be done about health problems contribution to poverty but two out of three of the main causes/ contributes to poverty can easily be changed by changing small things in life such as Early literacy. Early literacy can break a cycle of poverty in one’s family. Another thing that can help potentially end poverty is finding something that motivates the individual to always want more out of life even if that motivation comes from the government putting a time limit on how…

Menchu experienced the debt and pay problem, which was basically a sneaky and despicable way to keep the workers who are already in debt in debt. This cycle of buying that you need on the finca like work shoes, food, or medicine for baby and putting that on a “tab” that you can pay off later. Not knowing that it comes of out of your paycheck, and whatever else you still owe puts you in debt. She also went…

her ovaries. These multiple (poly) cysts cause hormonal imbalances. The male sex hormones, androgens, (present in small amounts in women) increase. Also, the body tends to become insulin resistant. The results of PCOS include issues with menstrual cycles and…

Unaffordable Birth Control Is Costing Women The Trump Administration has dismantled the protocol under the Affordable Care Act set up by President Obama, that requires insurance companies to provide free birth control. Employers are now able to deny insurance coverage for many forms of birth control due to religious or moral reasons (“The Trump Administration Is Rolling Back the Mandate that Employers Provide Free Birth Control”). However, birth control pills are not just used for sexually…

Many times throughout world history, economic downturns called recessions or depressions have devastated both individual lives and countries’ economies. On a microscale, many people lose their jobs, businesses, and in extreme cases, their homes. On a macro level, unemployment rises, and gross domestic product (the way economists measure the success of an economy) sinks to new lows. Recessions and depressions are the cause of the ruination of many. Although these economic crises are seen as…

in bacteria DNA allows for NO₃, in plants, to be converted to N₂ without releasing N₂O into the atmosphere. With a better understanding of which gene can convert N₂O to N₂, people can have a better understanding of what factors affect the nitrogen cycle. The genes that are responsible for converting NO₃ to N₂ are nirk, cnor, qnor, and nosz. Nosz is responsible for coding enzymes to convert N₂O to N₂ Using a DNA Isolation Kit, we were able to take DNA from the microbial community and amplified…
