Vertebrate Adaptions For Terrestrial Life
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 624.... in all of the terrestrial
environment. Terrestrial vertebrates have developed lungs to solve this problem.
Air enters through the nasal passages, or the mouth, passes through the trachea,
then branches off at the two bronchi, and goes through many branching passages
called bronchioles, which end in alveoli. Alveoli are sack-like structures where
the circulatory system meets the respiratory system.
Since terrestrial vertebrates do not live in water, they need to develop
a means of conserving water. One way we do this is through our excretions.
Nitrogen forms a major waste prod .....

Simple Machines
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 586.... Our country or world would never be this evolved if it wasn't for
machine. Almost every thing we do has a machine involved. We use machines to
manufacture goods, for transportation, ect.
In the W=F*d equation the trade of between force and distance is as you
use a machine the force goes down and distance goes up. If there was no friction
they would be equal and trade.
There are six simple machines. They are a lever, pulleys, inclined plain,
wheel and axle, screw, and wedge. The lever is used very often an example of a
lever is a broom. Your hand is the fulcrum and .....

Photoperiodism
Number of pages: 1 | Number of words: 260.... of plants. The ability to respond to day length is linked to an
inner, light-sensitive circadian rhythm.
In the temperate zones, day lengths during the natural 24-hour cycle
vary with the seasons. In winter and spring, the period of light
lengthens; in summer and autumn, it shortens. Plants in these zones
undergo alternate 12-hour phases of light sensitivity. During one 12-hour
phase, decreasing exposure to light induces a short-day reaction. For
example, deciduous trees under the influence of the shorter days of fall
drop their leaves. During the other 12-hour phase .....

Ozone Depletion In The Antarctic
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1703.... chlorine. Chlorine by itself is a very stable compound, but when in the stratosphere it binds to and destroys ozone. This is a cyclic process and therefor means that one chlorine can destroy many ozone molecules (Figure 1.2)
During the winter in the Antarctic the circumpolar vortex, which is a strong westerly circulation around the continent, builds in the stratosphere. This phenomenon causes the interior of the stratosphere to be cut off and the temperatures drop below -800C. This results in thin clouds forming and that enables reactions with gases containing chlorine to .....

Changes In The Atmosphere Causing Multicellularity
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 471.... into a number off
distinct chromosomes, and complex organelles, among which are chloroplasts and
mitochondria. Scientists believe that eukaryotic organisms such as the protists
evolved from the prokaryotes. There are two main theories which describe how
this transition may have occurred. The first is the endosymbiotic theory, or
enosymbiosis, and the other is the autogenous theory, or autogenisis. These two
theories are not mutually exclusive, meaning one or the other could account for
different parts of eukaryotic cells. The endosymbiotic theory states that the
formatio .....

New Technology
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 488.... in a sophisticated Network Operations Center. This state-of-the-art system represents the future of communications. The Network Operations Center embodies the General Magic business model: minimum maintenance with maximum functionality.
The Network Operations Center was built from the ground up to be a technology showcase. Today, it's one of the world's largest voice recognition-based networks(). The sophisticated voice recognition technology can identify thousands of phrases spoken in plain English().
The service architecture is based on recognized industry standards. .....

Black Holes
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1294.... together due to attractive forces and form a hot core, combined from all the energy of the two gas clouds. This energy produced is so great when it first collides, that a nuclear reaction occurs and the gases within the star start to burn continuously. The Hydrogen gas is usually the first type of gas consumed in a star and then other gas elements such as Carbon, Oxygen, and Helium are consumed.
This chain reaction fuels the star for millions or billions of years depending upon the amount of gases there are. The star manages to avoid collapsing at this point because of t .....

An Agricultural Movement
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1735.... Adams uses Riley’s quote from 1882 saying that the evidence for the use of natural enemies and parasites to control pests is sufficient to support their use. (16).
Even so, pesticides have been used for centuries. In James Whorton’s book, Before Silent Spring, he describes agriculture before the Industrial Revolution. He writes that farmers in the 1800's used arsenic and sulphur to stop insects and molds from harming their crops. Even then it was known that arsenic caused skin lesions, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and swollen, painful hands and feet. In England in the late .....
