Task 1 Homeostasis is the ability of the body to maintain a constant internal environment within narrow limits. The word homeo means it is unchanging and stasis means it is staying still; it has three main elements that are a sense organ to detect change, a control centre that is usually from the brain or spinal cord and a responding organ to effect a change in conditions. The factors that homeostasis controls in our body are our body temperatures, water content, carbon dioxide levels and our…

The Effects of a Non-Binary Gender What would our world be like if gender was described as non-binary, with no male or female separation?

The novel explores how the elimination of binary gender has the ability to allow readers to see…

TAQ 1 Explain the term Homeostasis. The term homeostasis is derived from two Greek words; homios meaning ‘the same’ and stasis meaning ‘steady’. It refers to the processes by which the body and internal cells seek to constantly maintain an internal state of balance and equilibrium even when faced with external environmental changes. This is achieved through either positive or negative feedback loop controls associated mainly with the endocrine and nervous systems. Principal homeostatic…

both needing the other to exist. The Things They Carried sets the relationship of love and war as two poles of a magnet; one must choose a side to take, as remaining in conflict can lead to disaster. Until Lavender’s death, Jimmy Cross was trapped in stasis, unable to fully commit to the war as his old passions remained relatively dominant in his mind. When Lavender’s death represents the change, the final measure needed to allow Cross to realize his inner conflict. “In part, he was grieving for…

Wright Mils’. 2) So many people were scared of change and not being in a comfortable spot. Generation by generation was instructed to harbor this hate which laws were made to help stop but it never did. Therefore the past was affecting the…

Chapter 1 (Every Trip Is a Quest (Expect When It’s Not)) In this chapter, the author explains why a character takes a trip using symbolic reasons. The character does not just take a trip, they take a quest. “The reason for a quest is always self-knowledge (Foster 3).” A quest is usually a person looking for the Holy Grail, going to a store for bread; these tasks of varying nobility. When the character goes on a quest, there is never a stated reason why the character goes on the quest. An…

Recombinant DNA is genetically engineered DNA that is formed by splicing fragments of DNA. Organismal cloning is the artificial creation of a new organism that is genetically identical to its counterpart. DNA cloning is a recombinant DNA technique where cDNAs and fragments of genomic DNA are inserted into a cloning vector and maintained during growth of the host cells. Vector is an agent that transfers genetic material into a cell or organism. Restriction enzymes are bacterial enzymes that find…
