The purpose of this report is to investigate the following observations; Euglena is a unicellular organism in the kingdom of Protista, the cells are both autotrophic and heterotrophic which means if there is no food source but there is a light source they will fall on their autotroph tendencies through photosynthesis while if there is a food source but no true light source they will fall on their heterotroph tendencies. Euglenas show positive photo-taxis due to their ability to preform…

Light Color and Photosynthesis Rate Introduction: How do the wavelength of visible light affect photosynthesis? Photosynthesis, a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can be released later to fuel the organisms’ activities, depends upon the absorption of light by pigments found in the plant leaves. Pigments, such as chlorophyll and carotenoids, absorb and reflect light based on the wavelength of light. To be more explicit, photosynthesis…

Liberally Speaking: Why Liberalism is Right for America written by Stephen J. Natoli is about the liberal view on the left side of the left-right political spectrum.

Before reading through this book, I just knew a general idea of what it was about. All I knew was that it was written by a young boy with autism, and was then translated…

Party polarization is defined as the vast and growing gap between liberals and conservatives. (Pew Research Center) There are many reasons as to why the public specifically are having trouble agreeing, such as the media’s different portrayals of same events, the social media’s…

Developmental prosopagnosia (DP) is the inability to recognize faces (Biotti & Cook, 2016). DP can affect one in every 50 individuals, both men and women (Biotti & Cook, 2016). DP is caused in the temporal lobe in a specific area known as the fusiform face area. The fusiform face area is the ability for an individual’s brain to be able to help recognize different faces (Biotti & Cook, 2016). One thing that is interesting about this topic is, a person with DP is not able to recognize faces but…
