How development can affect one another and be interconnected. Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates. All areas of learning and development are equally important and inter-connected. Children learn from everything they do; skills are developed in day-to-day activities and achievements. While children will need to be taught new skills, these should always be balanced by opportunities for them to independently apply. For example; if a child has a physical achievement…

They are made within the nucleolus from 60% RNA and 40% protein, and consist of two subunits, one large and one small. When produced, the subunits stay separate to exit through the nuclear pores: it is only because of their miniscule size that they can fit through. Many ribosomes then bind themselves to the RER, although some stay free in the cytoplasm. Free and bound ribosomes both create polypeptide chains, which are used to make proteins. To create a polypeptide chain the large and small…

65,000,000 years ago, an entire species was killed off. There are so many different theories of how the dinosaurs dissapeared. There are many different ways to explain the extinction which took place 65 million years ago. One of the main reasons was the possibility of a sudden change in the climate or atmosphere. For instance, a nearby supernova explosion could heat up the upper atmosphere, disturbing the ozone layer. Disturbing the ozone layer could produce large ice clouds which would cool…

net volume. The biological stress on astronauts and their bodies causes the increase of two hormones: ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) and antidiuretic hormone. ACTH, as learned earlier in the semester, is a hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland and released in response to stress from the body. Recall that when our sympathetic nervous system is “turned on”, other activities in our body get put on the “back burner”, such as the body recognizing whether we are hungry or not, which…

Researching the correlation amongst brain anatomy and physiology is a primary pursuit of neuroscience. Simplistic in its composition the brain is astoundingly the most complicated machine known to man. This mass of protein and fat in addition to being responsible for maintaining homeostasis also encompasses attributes that not only make us unique, creative, empathetic, moreover human. Overview of structure & function The brain of humans is primarily composed of two general classes of…

“Well, when I think of steroids I think of an image. You have the advantage over someone, which is a form of cheating. I guess it wouldn't be right unless it was legal for everybody. The reason it's not legal for everybody is because it can hurt people seriously.” (Evander Holyfield).
