This distant cousin of the rabbit lives at elevations between 8,000 and 13,000 feet, and it makes its home in rock piles and slides. The reason why this creature suffers so much due to climate change is that of how they originally adapted to their…

presence of solutes causes a decrease in the freezing point of water and an increase in it’s boiling point. This adjustment of the melting or boiling point can be used to advantage. Ethylene glycol is added to water in car radiators to increase the boiling point in hot conditions and to act as antifreeze in cold conditions. The boiling point of water will increase 0.512°C for each 76 g of ethylene glycol (antifreeze) added to 1000 g of water and the freezing point will decrease 1.86°C for each…

We freeze the cells when we want to preserve the cells to use at a later date. The steps for freezing cells are: 1) repeat the aforementioned steps 1-9 for passaging stem cells, 2) break up the pellet and place it in 1 or 2 ml of Freezing Medium that has already been cooled down to 4°C, 3) Place in a cryogenic well that has also been cooled to 4°C, 5) Put the vial in isopropanol freezing containers that are initially at room temperature, and 6) place everything in a -80°C freezer for 12-24…
