Clean Air Act Environmental Protection Agency
1,285 words1990, the federal Clean Air Act was passed to improve air quality in the United States. President Bush's proposed amendments to the Clean Air Act initially would have led to the introduction of alternative, non-petroleum fuels. The petroleum and oxygenate industries responded by offering a reformulated gasoline program as a substitute for most of the alternate fuel proposals. As a result, the amendments to the federal Clean Air Act adopted in 1990 required steps to achieve lower vehicle emission...

Fetus Produces Antibodies Fetus Produces Antibodies Specific Toxoplasmosis
1,061 wordsI will be addressing the possible immunological barriers that may be involved with challenge to infection of Toxoplasmosa gondii, the protozoan that causes toxoplasmosis. It is widely known that toxoplasmosis is a devastating disease, with often drastic consequences upon infection. In pregnant mothers, these consequences can be very horrid. Such effects are more felt by the unborn fetus than by the mother. These effects include abortion, premature birth, and severe growth retardation (Creamy et....

Dust Particles Blue Light
1,256 wordsExploration of a Natural Colour Phenomenon Why does the sky colour change? To answer this question, one should be aware of the Earth's atmosphere, and light. What is the atmosphere? The sky is filled with air which is a mixture of tiny gas molecules and small bits of solid stuff, like dust (Why Is the Sky Blue? ). The air constitutes the atmosphere, a gaseous shell surrounding the Earth and some other planets. The main gaseous components of the atmosphere are nitrogen (78. 09 %) and oxygen (20. ...

Some of these enzymes break down proteins, others attack fats, and still others disassemble the nucleic acids that make up DNA and RNA (Bourne, 1992, p. 123). Lynosomes don't always work right. When they fail, the result can be catastrophic disease. In Tay-Sachs disease, for example, victims have inherited a faulty gene, which leads to a defective enzyme or no enzyme at all. As a result certain undigested molecules accumulate in the lysosomes, gradually lead...

Hydrogen And Oxygen Simple Sugars
329 wordsCarbohydrate Structure and Function Carbohydrates are molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They are polymers of the basic units called monosaccharides. Dissaccharides are compound sugars, composed of two monosaccharides, (simple sugars) bonded together. Molecular Structure For example, two molecules of glucose can bond together to form the Disaccharide Maltose. Sucrose and Lactose are other common Disaccharides. Dissaccharides are formed through condensation reactions that result ...

Sugar Molecules Linked Aldehyde Or Ketone Group Monosaccharides
387 wordsThere are three principal kinds of carbohydrates and each are classified according to the number of sugar molecules they contain. Monosaccharides, such as ribose, glucose, and fructose, contain only one sugar molecule. Disaccharides consist of two sugar molecules linked covalently. Familiar examples are sucrose (table sugar), maltose (malt sugar), and lactose (milk sugar). Polysaccharides, such as cellulose and starch, contain many sugar molecules linked together. Monosaccharides are organic com...

Ozone Molecules Du Pont
579 wordsThe beginning of the CFC (chlorofluorocarbons) era started in 1928, when CFC were invented by a Du Pont chemist. CFC were best known as freon's and became famous as a safe, nonflammable refrigerant. It s invention became a great triumph when Freon took the place of sulfur dioxide or ammonia which was used as the working liquid in refrigerators. It eventually became widely used in automobile air conditioners and nontoxic propellants in aerosol cans. It s insulating properties also was used for bl...

Short Term Memory Long Term Memory
1,246 wordsREVIEW OF LITERATURE A person wakes up in the morning, brushes his teeth, takes a shower, puts on his clothes, and starts his day. What would happen if there weren t such thing as memory? People might not be able to get ready every morning to start their day. Why? Because memory allows people to remember what they have done or not done. Memory is the ability to remember something that has been learned or experienced. So, without it, people wouldn t be able to remember anything. They might not br...

Du Pont High Strength
971 wordsThe History of Kevlar Kevlar is an organic fiber in the aromatic polyamide family. It has unique properties and a chemical composition that is its own, which distinguishes it from other man-made fibers. Kevlar is a combination of high strength, high modulus (resistance to extension), toughness and thermal stability. Kevlar has a wide range of uses. In the 1960 s nylon and polyester opened the door for man-made fibers. They were cutting edge fibers in their time but to achieve maximum break stren...

Ultraviolet Rays Uv Rays
633 wordsThe ozone layer shields the earth from most of the harmful radiation and light comming from the sun. The ozone reflects and absorbs the ultraviolet rays that try to come in. Without this kind of protection, all living things will be effected by these UV rays. Skin cancer develops in most living mammals as a cause of an overabundance of the suns ultraviolet rays. The ozone layer is located in the earths stratosphere. The ozone layer is located from about fifteen-to-thirty kilometers above the ear...

Stratospheric Ozone Ozone Layer
2,496 wordsThe Atmospheric Ozone Layer The stratospheric ozone layer exists at altitudes between about 10 and 40 km depending on latitude, just above the tropopause. Its existence is crucial for life on earth as we know it, because the ozone layer controls the absorption of a portion of the deadly ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. UV-A rays, including wavelengths between 320 and 400 nm, are not affected by ozone. UV-C rays between 200 and 280 nm, are absorbed by the other atmospheric constituents besides...
