Salt of the Earth

Over time we’ve changed our minds about how the Earth came to be. Through the study of our planet and solar system we’ve widened our understanding of where we began. We went from thinking the Earth was the center of the universe to knowing for a fact that we are just a small spec in a huge ocean of planets and stars. After watching the documentary presented in class, the major theme I noticed was how over time and after years of research our ideas around how things worked and how they…

horrible environmental conditions. Places like a hot springs in Yellowstone National Park or even found in the stomach of humans and cows to help with digestion. Some scientists believe these organisms may be the oldest living inhabitants on planet Earth. Some micro-biologists also believe we will see some archaean organisms on a moon in our very ownsolar system. Introduction: There are three domains Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. This is…

delicious snacks on earth! It was a rainy day in the middle of summer, when my brother came into my room, he asked “want to learn to make brownies?” “Heck yea” I replied. This is where it all began the great brownie experience. I put on my apron and headed towards the kitchen. My brother was standing there waiting for me. He had written down all the ingredients, and it was my job to gather them all. The list consisted of flour, square pan, butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cocoa, and salt.…

Depicted in The Book of Genesis, the first of the five books that makes up the Hebrew bible, is the story of Noah’s entering a covenant with god to save life on Earth. Earth is no longer the creation that God intended it to be, so with plans of destroying mankind; he gave one man the responsibility of all life on Earth, as God prepared to send great floods to wipe out all the evil that had built up. As with many ancient texts it is difficult to know the exact heritage and author of even the…

diverse functions, they vary in structure, each protein having its own unique three-dimensional shape. Proteins are polymers of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. There are 20 different amino acids to make up all the different proteins on the earth. Each of the amino acids is composed of a central carbon bonded to a hydrogen, a carboxyl group, an amino acid group, and an R-group (Bowen, 2002). The R-group is what distinguishes one amino acid from another. All proteins share three…

Water pollution is a very pressing issue in the world today. Humans need water to survive. The earth is covered in water, nearly seventy percent of the surface is water. However about ninety-seven percent of that water is salt water, unsafe for drinking. The remaining three percent is what makes up the world’s freshwater. Of that small percentage of freshwater, about sixty-nine percent consists of glaciers or icecaps, thirty percent as groundwater, and nearly only zero point three percent…

The Earth is beautiful and precious, but its beauty can mask unaware people of the deep wounds below its surface. Like humans, this planet has its own unique flaws. In this case, the Earth suffers from scars that are continually getting deeper. As the world’s water basins, rivers, creeks and other freshwater sources are depleting by the gallons, it appears that water scarcity is no trivial wound. With its inhabitants’ lives at stake on this beautifully sad world, they need its tears to survive.…

By adding Hydrochloric acid into solid Magnesium, in Data table #2, when Hydrochloric acid was first been added to solid Magnesium, the ribbon immediately start to bubble and producing fumes at the same time with a burning sound. Magnesium start to turn into a white liquid form. After the bubble start to disappear, more Hydrochloric acid was added, and the reactions repeats. Until none of the shiny silver Magnesium ribbon can be seen, and there is no more bubble, the reaction is over. After…

particulate of free sulphur is known to act as a condensation nuclei. There is an important difference between the cycling of sulphur and that of other major gas cycle systems. A fixed amount of sulphur is immediately available in the form of crystalline salt sulphates. These minerals a essential components of amino acids which are the building block of complex…
