Types Of Cancer Type Of Treatment
1,345 words
One of the many complications with cancer is that
there are so many different types. Currently,
there are 112 types of cancer, and there is an
estimated 80 more types of cancer that are
undiscovered. (United States Cancer Rates) That
leads to as many different treatments as there are
types of cancer. Figure 1, located after the
Recommendations section, on page 8 displays the
number of recorded cancer cases over the past 15
years. I propose to look at several types of
treatments and decide which ...

Planet Earth: Fate of The Earth was a powerful,
informative, and inspirational documentary. The
narrator, Richard Kiley, progressed through many
points about our precious earth including her
beginnings, her slow deterioration by man as well
as other factors, and theories as to her what
could be her end. The beginning images of earth,
approximately four million years ago, can be
described a barren yet fertile land with the
prospect for life to flourish. Prehistoric
volcanoes exploded with gases a...

Carbon Dioxide And Water Organic Compounds

Have you ever wondered why your plants in your
house and outside lean towards the sun. In my
project I hope to answer why this happens. I am
going to be using lima beans to do this with. The
Greek philosopher Aristotle may have been the
first to attempt to explain the processes of
photosynthesis and food production. He believed
that plants could obtain from the soil all the
components required for growth. The cycle was
completed when organisms perished and became
reincorporated into the soil. Th...

Organic Molecules Organic Matter

Dissolved oxygen infers to the volume of oxygen
that is contained in water. Oxygen enters water
through photosynthesis and across the water
interface. The amount of oxygen that can be held
by the water depends on the water pressure,
salinity, and temperature. Gas solubility
increases with decreasing temperature; thus colder
water holds more oxygen. A reason why freshwater
holds more oxygen than does saltwater is because
gas solubility increases with decreasing salinity.
When there is a change in...

Prize For Chemistry In 1934 Urey Was Awarded Deuterium
326 words
Harold Clayton Urey was a scientist whose
discovery of deuterium helped him win the Nobel
Peace Prize for Chemistry in 1934. He also made
fundamental contributions to the production of the
atomic bomb through his development of the isotope
separation processes for the Manhattan Project.
Harold Urey was born in Walkerton, Indiana, on
April 29, 1893. His early school tool place in
rural Indiana. He entered the University of
Montana in 1914 and received his Bachelors of
Science degree in Zoology in...

Neuro Transmission Positive Charge
488 words
neurotransmitters play a central and critical role
in our psychological existence, identity, and
experience of the world Neurotransmitters are
chemicals that communicate between nerves. In some
ways, neurons are like computers: they receive
messages, process those messages, and send out the
results as new messages to other cells. In the
case of neurons, messages consist of chemicals
that interact with the outer surface of the cell
membrane. This chemical interaction with the cell
membrane causes...

The rate of a chemical reaction is the derivative
of the extent of the reaction with respect to
time, to measure the effect of concentration upon
the rate of the reaction of peroxydisulfate ion
with iodine ion; to determine the order of the
reaction with respect to the reactant
concentrations; and to obtain the rate law for the
chemical reaction. Four reaction solutions are

Shock Waves Air Pressure

Research: Airplanes are an efficient way of
traveling to far places. Airplanes are amazing if
you know what and how the air keeps the plane
airborne. There are three components of flight:
aerodynamics, the Bernoulli principal and
supersonic flight. Some other things about flight
are the four forces, lift, drag, weight, and
thrust. One of the basic things you need to know
about airplanes is that the places where the plane
can balance on one point called the center of
gravity. The tail on the plan...

Sodium Bicarbonate Federal Drug

Crack (rock) and cocaine are both stimulant drugs,
which are widely used in our country today. They
both present problems for us because of their
potency and highly addicted addicts that can not
seem to escape their grasp. Crack and cocaine also
have various street names such as coke, snow,
blow, base, C, ice, flake, sniff, rock and the
list goes on. Cocaine is sold in a white powder
form, which is sniffed, injected, or smoked
(free-basing) and is much more expensive than its
cousin crack (rock)...

Title: Examining Some Properties of the Enzyme
-amylase In this experiment a deeper meaning in
the catalysts of reactions is studied. Catalysts
accelerate chemical reactions without permanently
changing the reaction. Enzymes, catalysts in
biochemical reactions, are globular proteins which
lower the activation energy needed to begin a
reaction and therefore increase the rate at which
efficient reactions can occur. Proteins
(henceforth enzymes) are complex molecules made of
amino acids in polypept...

Atomic Mass Mass Spectrometer
455 words
The moles beginning is traced back to the most
basic units of matter, atoms. Since atoms are
extremely small, scientists have perplexed a great
deal over finding a way to measure atomic mass.
They struggled to find a universal container that
had the capability to mass atoms. Measuring the
mass of one atom on a balance in grams is not
practical, because the result in grams is an
amount too small to be of any use in the
laboratory. Fortunately, a new idea came about. If
two or more same amounts of...

Source Of Energy Fatty Acids

Among the common fads and trends our society has
seen in the past few years, a rather unlikely one
would be that of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates
provide our bodies with our basic source of energy
to carry on day-to-day functions. Americans seem
to be fascinated by the role that they play in our
diets and the impact that they have on the body.
What exactly is a carbohydrate? It is defined as
1. Any various compounds composed of carbon,
hydrogen, and oxygen such as sugar and starch. All

Mad Cow Disease Amino Acids

Who would of thought that eating hamburgers,
steaks and drinking milk could produce an epidemic
disease? These types of food are frequently eaten
for their appealing tastes and nutritional values.
The discovery of Creutzfeld Jakob Disease (CJD)
has been a long and remarkable one. The cause of
this disease is a mutated prion protein within the
brain that can be either inherited or acquired.
These mutations create sponge like holes that
destroy the brain. As a result, the disorder gives

Catalyst: Catalysis, alteration of the speed of a
chemical reaction, through the presence of an
additional substance, known as a catalyst, that
remains chemically unchanged by the reaction.
Enzymes, which are among the most powerful
catalysts, play an essential role in living
organisms, where they accelerate reactions that

Environmental Protection Agency Ozone Depletion
1,137 words
The ozone layer diminishes more each year. As the
area of polar ozone depletion (commonly called the
ozone hole) gets larger, additional ultraviolet
rays are allowed to pass through. These rays cause
cancer, cataracts, and lowered immunity to
diseases. 1 What causes the depletion of the ozone
layer? In 1970, Crutzen first showed that nitrogen
oxides produced by decaying nitrous oxide from
soil-borne microbes react catalytically with ozone
hastening its depletion. His findings started
research on...

Ozone Layer Ultraviolet Rays

The Problem The atmospheric ozone layer protects
all living things from the harmful effects of the
Sun. In recent years however, much damage has been
caused to the ozone layer, causing it to decrease
in size. The depletion of the ozone layer has and
will continue to have many detrimental effects on
all living things on this planet. A thinner layer
will allow more of the suns ultraviolet radiation
to reach the Earths surface. In particular, it
will be the increase of UV-B rays which will have
