Problem People with diabetes who cannot make their own insulin. Making synthetic insulin for these patients due to allergic reactions from animal insulin such as from pigs. Introduction The pancreas produces several hormones which balance the sugar (glucose) and salt levels inside the body. One of these hormones produced by specialized cells (beta cells) is called insulin (a small protein). Insulin aids in the transport of glucose into the cells for use of energy. When too much glucose…

On palate #3, we placed 1 drop of synthetic blood sample #3 in each of the wells labeled A, B, and Rh. 7. On palate #4, we placed 1 drop of synthetic blood sample #4 in each of the wells labeled A, B, and Rh. 8. We used three toothpicks per palate (blue, yellow, and red). We used the blue toothpick for well A. We used the yellow toothpick for well B. We used the red toothpick for well Rh. 9. Using the toothpicks, we stirred the synthetic blood and anti-serum in each of the wells for…
mathematical facts are synthetic and a priori, because we can see the principle of induction is true by non-analytic methods. Exponents of logicism, such as Carl Hempel, would disagree with Poincaré because they would see induction as following analytically from the definition of natural numbers. However, this response fails to fully address the argument, because Hempel’s logical approach cannot capture human intuition about the infinity of the natural numbers. To show the synthetic a priori…
number of real roots is equal to 1. 2. What is f(x) = x8 - 1 divided by x - 1? Answer: I can solve this given equation through synthetic division or by long division since the given divisor is in the form of (x-a), synthetic division is the way to solve this.…
If synthetic disinfectants are applied on bacterium, they will be more effective because they comprise of a wider range of active ingredients specified to target microorganisms. Eight filter paper discs were saturated into different disinfectants- four discs into synthetic and the other four into natural disinfectants. Using sterile forceps, the discs were placed into the corresponding…

The labeling, pesticide use, fertilizer use, and certifications are different between the two farming industries. Because of this, organic and conventional farming are very different industries, and when it comes to feeding an overpopulated planet, conventional farming appears to be the only choice. However, modern day farming…
Synthetic Biology, Science Fiction, and the Escape from Boredom Synthetic biology may seem like an area of study that is not very connected to our popular culture, and it comes across much like a field inaccessible to the non-expert, but Kurt Andersen, who reports with Eric Molinsky, the producer of the article “Biology in Pop Culture”, has seen these ideas present in popular culture for decades. Screenwriters, such as Kurt Andersen are keen to two basic archetypes. These two basic archetypes…
