Potential

Potential As a child, you were once told that you could do anything in the world and that you could be anything you want. Looking at this picture of a cup of french fries along with the title “Potential” and its quote which explains to us not everybody can be an astronaut in this world just attempts to convince otherwise. I believe this picture fits very well with its title because it shows that maybe you can’t always live up to what people, or more importantly, what you expect yourself…

PART A: I agree with Carol Tomlinson’s statement about curriculum being the ultimate identifier of potential. Potential is having or showing capacity to become or develop into something in the future. School curriculum is defined as the course of study observed by the school. I do believe that the curriculum has to reflect the student’s needs to be the ultimate identifier of potential. We know that all students learn differently. We also know that there are three types of learning styles: there…

Candidate ID: gwf613 The Modeling of a Potential Smallpox Outbreak at my Local High School Introduction Up until 1980, the world lived in fear of a deadly, disfiguring disease. Smallpox, a highly infectious disease, produces symptoms such as fever, postulation, and rash, potentially leaving the victim scarred from scratching his or her blisters. It is transmitted through inhalation of fluid droplets produced by actions such as sneezing and coughing as well as contact with a skin legion of an…

Market Potential Index for Emerging Market is a tool comprised of several different components. This paper identifies and, where necessary, describes the components known as market indicators. Additionally, I will express and explain my opinion on which indicators are most useful for a company that markets laptop computers. Finally, through use of the index I define which countries the laptop computer company should enter and share my reasoning for my recommendations.  Market Potential…

There are some potential danger that can happen in school if teachers are allowed to be armed with guns. First, teachers are not totally mindful; if they carry a gun to class, put it into a drawer in the class, and go to the restroom or somewhere else during the break time, but they forget to carry it with them. Then, students may be curious about the gun in the drawer; they could play with it and not be aware of the bad consequence of guns, and accidently shoot their friends. Specifically, on…

intercellular communication through changes in membrane potential and synaptic connections” [5] where as a glial cell is a support cell that surrounds and insulates some structures of the neuron. This essay is mainly going to focus in detail on neurons, their basic structure and how they communicate. It is going to explore how an electrical signal is passed on…

relationship between 〖Na〗^+ conductance (g_Na) and K^+ conductance (g_(K )), and the relative changes in the V_m during an action potential. 〖 g〗_Na increased as the V_m moved towards 0 mV causing depolarization of the membrane and started to decrease immediately after the peak of the action potential. Whereas, g_(K ) increased immediately following the action potential peak during the repolarization of the plasma membrane where the V_m moved away from 0 mV and became negative (Figure 1).…

Myelin is imperative for the functioning of adequate conduction velocity speed in axons. Myelin is made of water, lipids and proteins and appears white in color. This combination of lipids and proteins form a whitish protective cover or sheath over the axon of numerous nerve fibers. This sheath covering the axon speeds up the impulses that are being conducted, which is important in the transmission of impulses in our body. Without myelin speeding up conduction, the impulses would decelerate.…

the process repeats. Once the electrical potential of Neuron A (presynaptic neuron) reaches -60mV the sodium and potassium channels in the neuron open at the beginning of the axon. The influx of positive sodium ions into the cell makes the inside of the cell more positive and leaves the outside of the cell more negative. The cell is at rest at -70mV and as it gets more positive, it reaches threshold (gets more excited). This change in electrical potential also excites neighboring sodium and…

extracellular space around it due to the passive channels. Once the sensory receptors have detected a stimulus, the graded potentials open up sodium chemical gates which cause sodium to enter the cell but, for an action potential to occur the graded potential must reach a certain threshold (-55mv). Once the graded potential reaches its threshold it can now turn into an action potential, the voltage-gated sodium channels open up, and the inside of the cell becomes highly positive due to all of…
