availability of light, water and nutrients” (Huxely, 2005). Therefore, the ability of an organism to adapt or “the process of change by which an organism or species become better suited to its environment” (Dictionary.com, 2015) is vital. Some of the adaptations exhibited by water plants may include an “extensive root system” where it enables the roots to take up ground water or the leaves may be “coated with fine hairs, increasing the humidity around the leaf and so reducing water loss”…

constants. The integrity of the control (water) was maintained by using an eye dropper to carefully place the water into the selected chamber to test the effects. There were no major complications during the experiment. The biggest complication was the lack of movement from the pillbugs which may have made the…

experiment a beaker of water was set to boil on a hot plate while samples of serum and benedicts reagent were collected. Six test tubes were gathered and labeled by which blood vessel the serum was collected from and by which category, either postprandial or fasting. Then by using a metric ruler two measurements were placed on the bottom of each tube, one at one centimeter and one at two centimeters. This was to indicate how much serum and Benedict’s reagent to use, serum to the first mark…

Dog waste and the type of dogs were the independent variables. The dependent variables were the rate of reproduction and worm length. The composts each received the same amount of water, sunlight, and sawdust. There were 4 equally sized bins, with the same size holes, the same amount, type, and source of compost, all with 10 worms each, roughly around the same length. The dogs ate their normal diet of dry food, along with occasional…

In the beginning of the excerpt, Mark Twain introduces his profound love for…

Day Mark 1, Pelican Island Cut, and the Coast Guard Station. The main ingredient in saltwater is water. Water is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom that are covalently bonded and forms a polar molecule because the electrons are shared unequally. The unequal distribution causes the oxygen atom to have a negative pole and the two hydrogen atoms have a positive pole. The polarity of water makes it unique and allows it to perform as a solvent (Duke University, n.d.). Since water is…

This was my first time hiking through the woods. so far i loved the scenery of the wilderness. The waterfall was crystal clear and the mud was melted chocolate. The air was like i have never seen before. In the city it is impossible to breath because there are no trees, and the air is polluted because us humans destroy it. I was not used to walking this far. My legs were like jelly, My knees were about to give out. I felt like a eighty year old woman. For the most part it was not too bad. We…

about gemstones. I didn’t know specific information about gemstones. During the documentary I learned that near the Earth's surface many gemstones are formed when minerals react with water and later on are dissolved. The evaporation causes the minerals to form. Gemstones are produced when the water is mixed with sandstones. Amethyst is a purple crystalline quartz. The Agates is a cryptocrystalline which comes in…

What does Mark Twain mean when he says “Two Views”? In this writing, Twain tells of his experiences as a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River. When he uses the words, “Two Views”, he is talking about two separate occasions, which are the expressive views and literary views of the river.

He first recalls a specific sunset journey where he is able to celebrate in the brilliance of the river surrounding him.…

All four Gospels contain different interpretations of Jesus and his teachings. However, Mark, Matthew, and Luke clearly have an underlying inspiration, especially in relation to the Gospel of John. Before focusing on the different elements in John compared to the three Synoptic Gospels, it is important to know why John is included as a Gospel if it is so different. John, like the other Gospels, is a part of the Greco-Roman genre and would be considered a biography of Jesus by ancient readers. A…
