Alternative energy sources must be implemented
because oil is a scarce and non-renewable
resource. Each year the U. S. consumes 6. 2
billion barrels of oil, equivalent to 17 million
barrels of oil each day (Coastal 67). The
undiscovered U. S. OCS and gas resources combined
with onshore reserves would amount to only 81. 5

days (Coastal 75). So the oil crisis is not

In this essay I will be summarizing Cyberspace for

all people can benefit from. Cyberspace used to be
a place where only techies and nerds would hang
out. The Net, as it is called, is a place where
everyone can go and find something of interest to
them. Lost in the furor over porn on the Net is
the exhilarating sense of freedom that this new

an export-driven growth stimulus (2). (1) Flexible

could offset an economic slowdown in several ways.

Organic Molecules Life Span

The expression of genes is very complicated and is
regulated by a number of things. Something that
has a major effect on enzyme regulation and

of protein, they are sensitive in varying degrees
to heat. Raising temperatures of the environment
generally multiplies the degree of activity by the
enzyme. Once an optimum temperature has been
reached, however, temperatures that are too high
will denature the e...
