Hypotheses Of The Effects Of Wolf Predation
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1767.... can have many possible effects on
the interrelations of populations. To draw any correlations between the effects
of these predator-prey interactions requires studies of a long duration, and
statistical analysis of large data sets representative of the populations as a
whole. Predation could limit the prey distribution and decrease abundance. Such
limitation may be desirable in the case of pest species, or undesirable to some
individuals as with game animals or endangered species. Predation may also act
as a major selective force. The effects of predator prey coevolution can ex .....

Dna Chips And The Pharmaceutical Industry
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1693.... industry is a very high risk industry in which fewer than one in ten promising drug products ever makes it through the testing phase and onto the shelves at the local pharmacy. The effect is that the production of a new drug is almost like a guessing game that may or may not produce any profit. A Company may have a long list of chemicals that could make possible drugs to treat a specific affliction, but by the time they narrow the list down, and do the necessary research and testing, they may have already spent possibly millions of dollars. In the end they may not even b .....

Growth Dynamics Of E. Coli In Varying Concentrations Of Nutrient Broths, PH, And In The Presence Of An Antibiotic
Number of pages: 10 | Number of words: 2626.... for the
control was 619,500 cells/mL. Four media, after calculations, produced fewer
cells than that of the control, these were: Chloramphenicol producing 89,3 01
cells/ml; glucose producing 411,951 cells/mL; lactose producing 477,441 cells/mL
and finally pH 6.0 producing 579,557cells/mL. The remaining four media, after
calculations, produced cell counts greater than the control: 2X with 1,087,009
cells/mL; 0.5X with 2,205,026 cells/mL; pH 8 with 3,583,750 cells/mL and finally
pH 7.0 with 8,090,325 cells/mL. From these results the conclusion can be made
that the env .....

Bats
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1283.... most distinguishing feature of a bat, wings (Lauber 9). The upper
arm of the bat is short while the forearm is very long. The wrist is very
small and from it comes the thumb and the four longer fingers. The thumb is
short and used for climbing or walking. The fingers are long and thin.
Interlocking the fingers is the wing. This set up of having the fingers in the
wing gives the bat amazing flight maneuverability (Honders 22). These bones
look similar to a human hand. They are connected by rubbery skin to the bat's
body enveloping all the fingers but the thumb (Bats .....

(Education Dep. Properties: Chemical). Often, it can even be classified as a different type of . Commercial es are found in six basic categories, soda-lime , lead , borosilicate , aluminum silicate , ninety-six percent and fused silica .
Soda-lime is the most common and least expensive . Approxim .....

Darwinism: The Theory That Shook The World
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1800.... in Darwin's theories, he astounded
the scientific world as well as the public and was able to convince many in the
presence of a misguided past belief. This fact alone makes him one of the most
important people of science ever.
Charles Darwin was born in Shrewsbury-Shropshire, England on Feb 12,
1809 (GEA & RBi p 42). He was the fifth child in a wealthy English family with
a history of scientific achievement with his paternal grandfather Erasmus Darwin
who was a physician and a savant in the eighteenth century (GEA & RBi p 42). As
a young boy Darwin already showed signs .....

Acid Rain
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 365.... of .
Acid Rain reacts to different types of soil and rocks in two ways.
1) Acid rain will dissolve alkaline rocks and soil, or will neutralize the alkalinity.
2) Acid rain will increase the acidicy of already acidic rocks and soil, such as granite, or the soil which results from corroded granite.
Acidic chemicals, and alkaline chemicals react to each other by reducing the alkalinity or acidicy of each other. Which ever has the strongest pH level, usually will neutralize or reduce the pH of the other, but after the reaction is complete, both substances have .....

How Various Mechanisms By Which Substances Cross The Cell Me
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 886.... motion of molecules. The pressure
gradient is a difference in pressure between two different points. If
the concentration of one side of the membrane is greater than the
molecules will travel from the higher to lower concentration.
Eventually there will be a dynamic equilibrium and there will be no net
movement of molecules from one side to the other.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water. Like diffusion, the water moves
from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water
potential. Solutions have three different stages that the solutes can
be classi .....
