Protein Synthesis
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 770.... are held together by strong peptide bonds. The next level of protein organization is the secondary structure. This is where the primary structure is repeated folded so that it takes up less space. There are two types of folding, the first of which is beta-pleated sheets, where the primary structure would resemble continuous spikes forming a horizontal strip. The second type of folding is an alpha helix, which goes vertically forming a wavy line. An alpha helix is in the same shape of one strand of DNA. These new formations are held together by hydrogen bonds. The third l .....

Cfc
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 1018.... This radiation is the one which would not reach the lower atmosphere in large amounts because of the ozone layer. When these s do brake down, they released atomic chlorine which then would react with the ozone and convert it back into plain oxygen. The even worse part of all this is that these chlorine molecules do not become inactive after the first reaction with the ozone and would be available to destroy more ozone molecules. Thus this process would be the function of a catalyst; a single chlorine atom involved in a chain reaction to destroy many ozone molecules.

Ebola 3
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 608.... there is nothing left to vomit (you vomit blood, bile and other liquids of the body), you suffer from diarrhea, limited kidney function, internal and external bleeding, you bleed from every opening on your body, blood fails to clot, so if you get cut in any way your body will never stop bleeding from that wound. Ebola could spread and infect everyone in the world in 48 hours.
Marburg, Germany
In this small German town people were taking tests on African monkeys. These monkeys were infected with the infamous Ebola virus. What's horrifying about Ebola is that the virus can chan .....

The Human Cloning Controversy
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1356.... or should not clone humans is a tough question to answer. Legally, are scientists able to make clones? The answer is no. Should scientists be able to make a headless human? (body parts) Yes, as long as no law exists banning headless humans. Before going into this controversy, some background about what has happened in cloning would be useful. Two astonishing feats have been achieved in the scientific world. One is the cloning of a sheep named Dolly, and the other is the development of headless frog embryos. Dolly was cloned in Edinburgh, Scotland, at the Roslin Institute .....

Als
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 682.... Twitching or cramping of muscles and abnormal fatigue of the arms and legs may soon follow, causing difficulty in daily activities, such as walking or dressing. In more advanced stages, however, shortness of breath or difficulty in breathing and swallowing ensue, until the body is completely taken over by the disease. Intellect, eye motion, bladder function, and sensation are the only abilities spared.
Where and how this deadly disease originated is unknown, but it was first identified in 1869, by the noted French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot. is not contagious, but .....

Expansion On The Recent Discoveries Concerning Nitric Oxide
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1215.... it
was discovered in the body. The compound is quickly converted into nitrates and
nitrites by oxygen and water. Yet even its short-lived life, it has found many
functions within the body. Nitric oxide enables white blood cells to kill tumor
cells and bacteria, and it allows neurotransmitters to dilate blood vessels. It
also serves as a messenger for neurons, like a neurotransmitter. The compound
is also accountable for penile erections. Further experiments may lead to its
use in memory research and for the treatment of certain neurodegenerative
disorders. One of the m .....

Cobalt
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 332.... properties. For
example, Hyperco is used as the nucleus in strong electromagnets. Alloys
containing titanium, aluminum, cobalt and nickel can be made to become
permanently magnetic. One alloy, called Stellite, is an alloy of cobalt,
chromium, tungsten, and molybdenum. This alloy is extremely hard and keeps its
hardness at extreme temperatures. It has many uses: cutting tools are made of
it along with gas turbines. Zaire is the worldıs largest producer of cobalt
with 65% of the worldıs reserve.
Cobalt is a common trace element found in food. It is a component of
vitamin .....

The Environment Is Going To Hell
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 285.... to almost 2000
species per weak, 300 per day, 10 per hour, another dead species every 6 minutes.
We're trashing the planet, washing away the topsoil, paving over our farmlands,
systematically deforesting our wildernesses, decimating the biota, and
ultimately killing ourselves.
The world is getting progressively poorer, and it's all because of populating,
or more precisely, over-population. There's a finite store of resources on our
pale blue dot, spaceship Earth, our small and fragile tiny planet, and we're
fast apporaching it's ultimate carrying capacity. The limits to growt .....
