Atomic Bombs
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 593.... a few minutes according to a local newspaper in Japan. Moreover, the second bomb being dropped at Nagasaki killed an average of 70,000 people. In these two blasts, entire families perished, leaving no one to report the death until four months from the catastrophe. This has made the Atomic Bomb the most powerful weapon ever invented in mankind.
Secondly, countries that produce these bombs are harming others as well as themselves if there was war. For example, if a country fires an atomic bomb on another country, both of the countries will become affected with radiati .....

Coral Fish
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1128.... "initial" subdued pattern of small adults to the "terminal" pattern in the largest adult males. The terminal male is the one with the brightest colors and gaudiest patterns.
The moon seems to play an important role in fish reproduction. According to Peter H. Pressley, it appears that the moon/s light may be as important as its gravitational pull. "Some fishes may use periods of maximum moonlight for effective nest guarding during the week or so it takes for many demersal eggs to incubate. Since the larvae of many dermersal-spawning species are light sensitive, bright moonl .....

Monosaccharides
Number of pages: 9 | Number of words: 2345.... Important sugar alcohols (alditols), formed by the reduction of (i.e., addition of hydrogen to) a monosaccharide, include sorbitol (glucitol) from glucose and mannitol from mannose; both are used as sweetening agents. Glycosides derived from are widespread in nature, especially in plants. Amino sugars (i.e., sugars in which one or two hydroxyl groups are replaced with an amino group, -NH2) occur as components of glycolipids and in the chitin of arthropods.
carbohydrateClasses of carbohydrates Sources The most common naturally occurring are D-glucose, D-mannose, D-fructose, .....

Lab Report Of The Cells
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 491.... end. Then you have the Cytoplasm. This is the watery material lying within the cell between the cell membrane and the nucleus. The Cytoplasm also contains organelles, which have specific functions in the cell metabolism. Then there are the Golgi Bodies, which serve as processing, packaging, and storage for the cell. These organelles package and ship things out. Another parts of the cell, a very important one in fact, are the Lysosomes. These organelles are used to break things down and contain enzymes.
First we placed the slide under the simple microscope and observed it at te .....

Cyclohexanone
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 905.... (Tissue).
IR spectroscopy is the measurement of the wavelength and
intensity of the absorption of infrared light by a sample. The
wavelength of IR absorption bands are characteristic of specific types
of chemical bonds.
An IR spectrophotometer is an instrument which is designed to
obtain an infrared spectra of a molecule. An IR spectra is obtained by
first irradiating a sample with an IR source of light. The light passes
through the sample, which can be in solution or contained within a
salt plate, and then onto an IR light detector. .....

Radon
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1533.... it is not a
health hazard. Some wells contain water that has radon dissolved in it. This
can be a hazard if the water is agitated or heated, allowing the gas to escape
and elevate the levels that are in the building.(6)
Health Risk
The Surgeon General's office reports that indoor radon gas is a national
health problem. This gas causes thousands of deaths every year.(7) These
deaths are a result of lung cancer, which is caused by the radioactive particles
that make up the gas.(8) The likelihood of getting lung cancer from radon
depends on: the concentration that you are .....

Human Cloning -

Although the ban was lifted during the first days of Bill Clinton’s presidency, in 1997 he sent a bill to congress marked “immediate consideration and prompt enactment” stating that it would be illegal to create a human clone whether in private or public laboratories. Along with the US ban, nineteen European countries including Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Iceland, I .....

The Dust-Cloud Hypothesis
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 318.... very hot and to glow brightly.
The newly born sun began to heat up the swirling eddy of gas and dust that
was to become the earth. The gas expanded, and some of it flowed away into
space. The dust that remained behind then collected together because of
gravity. Although the shrinking earth generated a lot of heat, most of
this heat was lost into space. Therefore, the original earth was most
likely solid, not molten.
This hypothesis was developed by a scientest, Harold C. Urey in 1952. It is
also known as the Urey's hypothesis. He showed that methane, ammonia, and
wate .....
