The Merriam-Webster dictionary explains evolution as a theory of changes that occur because constant change that excel naturally over a long period of time. (Merriam-Webster) This means that over a long period of time there were changes made from all the species and as time progressed we all started to break up into different categories and then different branches of those categories. It is said that we, as humans, share the same category as the primates. Though, over time we started to evolve…

Select only ONE of the following environmental stresses: (a) heat, (b) high levels of solar radiation, (c) cold, or (d) high altitude. Discuss specifically how this environmental stress negatively impacts the survival of humans by disturbing homeostasis. (5 pts) Cold climates create stress on the body that disturbs homeostasis by lowering our normal core body temperate range of 97.6 ˚- 99.6˚ to subnormal levels. When our core body temperate declines to 94 ˚, we begin to develop a condition known…

The most widespread disabling neurological condition of young adults around the world is Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Sclerosis is a Greek word meaning hardening of tissue or scars. Another name for MS is Demyelinating Disease, 85% of people diagnosed with MS have Relapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS). Around 10% have Primary-Progressive MS (PPMS), there is also Secondary-Progressive MS (SPMS), and Progressive-Relapsing MS (PRMS). The least common type is PRMS. In MS your immune system mistakenly attacks…

I have always had a concern for our planet's health and wanted to ask the question if we are irreversibly damaging our home. If this is the case then there is a possibility that we will be able to colonize different planets in our solar system and or make a man made structure to live in. This topic really hits home with me because I need to know where we will go if our earth can no longer provide us the support we need. We will have to find an affordable way to colonize a place that is foreign…

there. These species include the arctic hares, arctic ground squirrels, lemmings, musk oxen, and ptarmigan. There are two varieties of tundra, the arctic and the alpine tundra. The arctic tundra is located in the part of the world that is above the equator, surrounding the North Pole and continuing to the coniferous forests of the taiga. The arctic tundra is treeless because, directional-wise, it is beyond the limit of tolerance in tree growth. It is too far up north. The arctic tundra is known…

did not spark any significance to me until I had the education to analyze them. From my first moments in the Philippines to assimilation to American culture, I noticed a pattern pertaining to beauty. The Philippines is a tropical country near the equator exposed to the scorching sun. The heat is evident through some of our skin tones: varying from a golden brown to dark ebony. However, living here for a few years made me notice that the darkness that my people received from the sun wasn’t…

World War I started in the middle of 1914 because of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

This peace treaty kept from any wars starting for less than two decades, then came World War II. The Treaty of Versailles’ name came from where it was signed, the Versailles Palace. The Allies wrote the treaty and in order to have it…

The region I chose for my written report project is the Northern region of the United States. The Northern region of US consists of cold and snowy winters and semi warm summers. The Northern region mainly consists of states along the border of Canada. I chose this region for my project because I like snowy mountain areas and colder environments. The main place I chose for this project is Minnesota, which is in the Northern region of the United States. The absolute location of Minnesota,…

The United States and Canada both share a common physical geography and history of how they were developed. Together, they make up 13% of the world’s land mass, making them the second and third largest countries in the world (Perrons, 2004). About 80% of the population in North America lives in cities. Montreal and New York City are both listed in the top twenty largest cities in North America (Largest Cities in North America by Population). There are many cultural traditions that have developed…

Summary Everything which is living is composed of different living parts called cells. Cells are the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism, typically microscopic and consisting of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane. The human body has many different types of cells which all exist to perform different tasks and functions. Without cells all organisms would cease to exist. Like all living things, the cell must also reproduce and eventually die. Cells reproduce…
