Protein Synthesis
Number of pages: 1 | Number of words: 241

.... called polymerase. From one of these single strands of a DNA molecule, a mRNA molecule is built. This is accomplished by an enzyme which travels along a portion of DNA between two exons and attaches the opposing base pairs to the backbone of the mRNA (a structure composed of phosphates and ribose). The nitrogen bases of this new molecule are identical to that of the opposite side of the original DNA molecule except that the thymine has been replaced with uracil. The formation of this molecule allows for the construction of proteins in the ribosome without risking the DNA in .....


Alcohol
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 708

.... it is estimated that ten percent of all deaths are related to abuse. Am astonishing fifty percent of all major automobile accidents, and murders are associated with . On and on the statistics point to the enormous dangers of , yet it is a legalized drug. As bleak as this problems seems to be on society as a whole, it is also rueful for the poor soul who is dependent. The life span of the ic is about ten years shorter than the non-drinker. The lifetime prevalence for ism in the United States is as high as fourteen percent. Taking these statements into consideration it i .....


The Atmospheric Ozone Layer
Number of pages: 9 | Number of words: 2378

.... Initial measurements were made by ozonesondes attached to high altitude balloons, by chemical-sondes or optical devices, which measured ozone concentrations through the depletion of UV light. However, the need to measure ozone concentrations from the surface at regular intervals, led to the development of the Dobson spectrophotometer in the 1960s. The British Antarctic Survey has the responsibility to routinely monitor stratospheric ozone levels over the Antarctic stations at Halley Bay (76°S 27°W) and at Argentine Islands (65°S 64°W). Analysis of ozone measurements i .....


Caffeine 2
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 413

.... fit adenosine receptors as well as adenosine itself will. Thus, cyclic AMP remains active, rather than being broken down. Second among the effects of caffeine is phosphodiesterase inhibition. The phosphodiesterase class of enzymes includes a number of enzymes responsible for breaking down cyclic AMP, thus depriving the body of an energy supply. Caffeine fools phosphodiesterase into attacking it instead, which inhibits the breakdown of cyclic AMP. However, the concentration of caffeine required for this effect to become significant is sufficiently high that the adenosine bl .....


Aurora Borealis
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 304

.... and nitrogen gas it encounters in the atmosphere, causing it to glow. The flow of plasma from the sun is generally continuos, although it occasionally bursts out of holes in the sun's outermost atmosphere. Massive ejections of plasma have also been shown to accompany solar flares, prominences, and sunspots. It is during these periods of highest solar activity that one is most likely to witness aurorae. The aurora is an ideal subject for the amateur astronomer because no telescope or any other optical apparatus is needed for observing it. It also makes a good subject f .....


The Kondratieff Wave
Number of pages: 8 | Number of words: 2089

.... quadrant one we have that “risk is relevant to what the masses think”. In this stage of the K-wave going against mass thinking can result in a very wise choice. Most people can be extremely cautious and pessimistic during this period not knowing what to be cautious about. There is much speculation going on and being one of the first persons to act may give you and advantage. In the second quadrant nominal rates expand, there’s speculation of hard assets, etc. Gradually paying off debt here is recommendable. It is a time where there is most likely a surplus of cash and a g .....


Geothermal Energy
Number of pages: 18 | Number of words: 4686

.... young, the earth was still forming, things were very different. A great mass of elements swirled around a dense core in the middle. As time went on the accumulation elements with similar physical properties into hot bodies caused a slow formation of a crystalline barrier around the denser core. Hot bodies consisting of iron were attracted to the core with greater force because they were more dense. These hot bodies sunk into and became part of the constantly growing core. Less dense elements were pushed towards the surface and began to form the crust. The early crust or crys .....


Predator - Prey Relationships
Number of pages: 16 | Number of words: 4238

.... 1973). No known organism escapes being a victim of parasitism(Brum 1989). Parasitism is similar to preditation in the sense that the parasite derives nourishment from the host on which it feeds and the predator derives nourishment from the prey on which it feeds(Nitecki 1983). Parasitism is different from most normal predator prey situations because many different parasites can feed off of just one host but very few predators can feed on the same prey(1973). In parasite-host relationships most commonly the parasite is smaller than the host. This would explain why many .....
