Chapter 01: Introduction 1.1. Xenobiotics The term xenobiotic is derived from Greek words, “xenos”, meaning strange or foreign, and “bios”, meaning life. Thus xenobiotics are exogenous chemicals which includes natural and synthetic chemicals. These can be pesticides, chemical vapors from automobiles, industrial chemicals, plastics, secondary plant metabolites, toxins produced by plants, molds and animals, food additives etc. Xenobiotics are considered as pollutants, but all the pollutants are…
E coli Name: Course: Lecturer: Date: E coli Introduction Escherichia coli are bacteria although this is a large group of a scientific classification. It includes a diverse classification of these types of bacteria. E. coli occurs in different forms or strains with most of these strains being very harmless. However, there are other strains that are very harmful and can cause one to be sick. Some of these strains can cause diarrhea and in most cases urinary tract infections…
The transition from paganism to Christianity was not an easy one as explained by Rodoifo Lanciani and we know this through the many writings, tombstones, building, and documentations of events occurring at the time. However, there is one group that could document this transition better than any other, the prostitutes. The prostitutes themselves did not write extensive books about their sexuality or their occupations in detail through the transitions of religions. Documentation of their lewd…

Proteins are complex molecules that serve a variety of functions within the body. Proteins are made up of subunits called amino acids. There are several different types of amino acids such as lysine, aspartic acid, and histidine. Each type of amino acids have their own specific group called R-groups attached to them, this causes them to behave chemically different. The group on the amino acid histidine cause the amino acid to be basic; this feature of histidine makes it have a specific purpose…

on planets beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. When it comes down to it, the probability of extraterrestrial life is more a probability than a possibility. All life as humans know it is created through six elements: Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Sulfur, and Phosphorous. These elements are found throughout the solar system and universe. Everything on Earth and in the universe is…
the Earth’s temperature. It is believed this supports the hypothesis of the Little Ice Age. The third natural evidence believed to influence global climate change are volcanic eruptions. During volcanic eruption gases- carbon dioxide, water vapor, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide and molten lava are releases which cool the climate (OpenStax, 2013, p. 1342). This is known as the haze-effect cooling resulting from the release of a huge quantity of sulfuric oxide,…
Mercury 's Surface Geology: according to the information gathered by the probes sent to Mercury, this planet has a surface that resembles in some manner the surface of our Moon, with craters and maria as its most prominent features. Furthermore, there are other structures that, albeit not as common as impact craters, make up the surface of Mercury, such as vents - that are thought to be the source for magma-carved valleys on Mercury - and irregular depressions named "hollows", probably generated…
