This contraction cycle is repeated as long as free calcium is available to bind the troponin and ATP is available to provide the energy.

Classroom Was Set Raised In Montreal Class
1,052 wordsMonday, September 13 was the first day of my Principles of Ethical Reasoning class. From the minute I stepped into the classroom, and by the way the classroom was set, it struck me immediately that this class would have a different type of atmosphere and learning experience than the other classes at Sir Sandford. The classroom was set so that all the students were sitting in a circle as if we would be involved in a tribal meeting of sorts. Born and raised in Montreal, by strict Muslim morals and...

Morally Responsible Moral Responsibility
1,934 wordsIn his essay, Freedom and Necessity, A. J. Ayer maps out his argument for Determinism, the idea that humans act the way they do because of the way already existing factors in their lives incline them to, and not of their own freewill. These already existing factors are known as casual laws. These casual laws are past experiences, feelings, and other factors that make people be who they are.

714 wordsCensorship Censorship is the supervision and control of the information and ideas that are circulated among the people within a society (Censorship). I believe that music, books, and the media should not be censored. In the first amendment, it states that it is a right to have free speech. So if it is in the constitution, then why is everything censored. Throughout history there has been many cases of censorship.

Economic And Political Exchange Rates
2,543 wordsFloating Exchange Rates For some, the collapse of Mexico's economy proves that floating exchange rates and markets without capital controls are deadly. Others find the crash of the European exchange-rate mechanism (ERM) in 1993 to be proof that targeted rates will always be overturned by the free market. Many see the breakup of Bretton Woods as the failure of fixed rates. Yet others believe monetary unification in Europe is the only way to achieve economic and political stability. Many others ho...

God Is Dead Thousands Of Years
1,420 wordsGod is Dead? My grasp of Nietzsche s statement God is dead fluctuates between an almost enlightened comprehension of what he means to a virtual stupor of confusion. However, during my more lucid moments of understanding (which I like to believe outweigh the moments of stupor hood), I see his point on a variety of levels. Nietzsche s writings on the subject are loaded with meaning; he purposely leaves his words wide open to interpretation. Just how we absorb Nietzsche s ideas on the subject of Go...
