Color Change Dependent Variable
1,395 words
Introduction: Carbohydrates are molecules that
contain Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. The most
basic sugar- carbohydrate is the monosaccharide.
Carbohydrate molecules are categorized by the
number of carbons present in the molecule.
Glucose, the most common monosaccharide has six
carbons per molecule, which is called a hexose.
Carbohydrates also have a 2: 1 hydrogen to oxygen
ratio. This aids in the condensation and
hydrolysis reactions. A condensation reaction
occurs when two monosaccharides joi...

Prior Restraint Can Be Accepted

Some people believe that there are no
circumstances under which prior restraint of the
press, either print or broadcast, should be
accepted or tolerated. I disagree with that
statement and do believe there are certain times
when prior restraint should be accepted or
tolerated. This is not an issue that is or should
be taken lightly because I am in strong agreement
with protecting the First Amendment, however in
specific and special cases I can understand the
government feeling the need to interv...

NASA's goal of faster, better, cheaper has been
the motivation for them to develop new mission
concepts, and to validate never-before-used
technologies in space. The new technologies, if
proven to work, will revolutionize space
exploration in the next century. According to
NASA's New Millennium Program home page, last
updated on September 16, 1999, NASA's current
project of Deep Space 1 demonstrates some of their
most exotic technologies. One of the most
impressive is the testing of an ion engin...

Control Of Blood Glucose Levels
1,253 words
Control of Blood Glucose Levels Homeostasis is the
mechanism for keeping your internal conditions
constant. Homeostatic control of blood glucose can
be made using insulin. It decreases blood sugar
concentration making it about 80 - 120 mg of
glucose per 100 ml of blood during fasting Insulin
is the only hormone that decreases blood sugar
level. The presence of insulin causes a cells
membrane to be more permeable to glucose; this
causes blood sugar level to drop in the blood.
Homeostatic control ...

Source Of Energy Due To The Fact
2,196 words
Over the past four or five decades, and especially
in recent years, there has been a lot of talk
among the scientific community and in everyday
life about the development of nuclear fusion as an
energy source. It seems that the everyday person
has some sort of fairy tale image of fusion power
in the back of their head. When they hear about
dwindling un renewable resources such as coal,
oil, and natural gas, they just sort of file it
away with the hope that fusion power will come

Deoxyribonucleic acid and DNA DNA Deoxyribonucleic
acid and ribonucleic acid are two chemical
substances involved in transmitting genetic
information from parent to offspring. It was known
early into the 20 th century that chromosomes, the
genetic material of cells, contained DNA. In 1944,
Oswald T. Avery, Colin M. MacLeod, and Maclyn
McCarty concluded that DNA was the basic genetic
component of chromosomes. Later, RNA would be
proven to regulate protein synthesis. (Miller,
139) DNA is the genet...

On a clear night, only a few hundred stars can be
seen without the use of any astronomical
instruments. The Milky Way Galaxy consists of at
least 200 billion stars. Stars are huge balls of
hot gases. The sun is a star, but it is not the
largest star; it is only the nearest star. A star
has three recognizable stages: its birth; the
years in which it exists; and its death. Its
formation and its life expectancy have captured
the curiosity of astronomers for centuries.
Astronomers from the past have...

Saturn is the outermost planet of the planets
known in ancient times. The earliest known
observations of Saturn, by the Babylonians, can be
reliably dated to the mid- 7 th century BC, but it
was probably noticed much earlier, since Saturn
tends to shine brighter than most stars. To the
naked eye it appears yellowish. The Greeks named
it after Cronus, the original ruler of Olympus,
who in Roman is the god Saturn. Saturn is the 6 th
planet in order distance from the sun. It cannot
