Dna 4
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 598.... enzymes. The DNA helicase enzymes separate the 2 nucleotide strands. The site where the helicase is working and where replication is taking place is known as the DNA fork. The polymerase enzyme helps the nitrogenous base in a given nucleotide to pick up and attach to a complementary base at the 3' end of the DNA template. The 5'-3' strand of template is duplicated in short segments called Okazaki fragments. Ligase is the enzyme that joins the fragments together. The end product of this is an exact copy of the original DNA.
DNA must also be stable, but able to be change .....

Global Warming 2 --
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 776.... gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone
depleting substances such as CFCs, also known as Chlorofluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, and perfluorocarbons. These gases are generated a number of human activities such as fossil fuel combustion, waste disposal in landfills, the
use of a refrigerator, numerous agricultural and industrial activities, and the cutting down of numerous forests.
These human practices have already changed the chemical make up of the atmosphere. Between the pre-industrial times and today, we have seen the concentration of carbon d .....

Nuclear Fusion
Number of pages: 9 | Number of words: 2376.... Such a reaction is not self sustaining
because the released energy is not readily imparted to other nuclei.
thermonuclear fusion of deuterium and tritium will produce a helium nucleus and
an energetic neutron that can help sustain further fusion. This is the basic
principal of the hydrogen bomb which employs a brief, controlled thermonuclear
fusion reaction. This was also how the car in the Back to the Future movie
worked. It had a much more sophisticated system of producing a fusion reaction
from things like, old coffee grounds, bananas, and old beer cans. Thermonuclea .....

Cells
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 358.... which provides energy to the cell through ATP and respiration.
Then there is the endoplasmic reticulum which separates parts of the cell. Then
there is the Golgi apparatus which is used for sorting, storing, and secretion
for the cell. Next are lysosomes, which hydrolyze macromolecules. Then there
are centrioles that play a major role in cell division. And lastly there are
vacuoles which have a variety of storage functions.
The plant cell is similar in most ways. The only really big differences
between the plant cell and the animal cell are as follows. The first is the .....

Cd Roms
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1257.... by the magnetic force that pushes it down on to the disk. Once it is on the hard drive , whenever you turn on your computer the information is always there for you when you need it.
A CD:ROM looks like a music compact disk , but they are not that much alike. First a CD:ROM has a lot more information than a regular compact disk. A CD:ROM has audio as well as visual information. Second a CD:ROM stores more data in it. Third if you put a CD:ROM in a compact disk player the compact disk player would just sit there and act stupid. If you put a compact disk in a CD:ROM drive i .....

Hydrogen: The Fuel Of The Future
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1231.... for use.
There are many ways to get pure hydrogen out of many compounds using methods
such as electrolysis and chemical reactions. One of the easiest ways is using a
chemical reaction. Simple chemicals (aluminum,sodium hydroxide, and water) can
be reacted in the home to produce heavy hydrogen to power your furnace or your
hot water heater . No electrical power at all is required. The reaction also
gives off a tremendous amount of heat. Even the waste heat could be captured for
heating the house. The resulting sodium aluminate is harmless and could be
collected at recoili .....

Nuclear / Particle Physics Effects Of The Atomic Bombs On Hiroshima And Nagasaki
Number of pages: 8 | Number of words: 2095.... and causes it to split apart. When the nucleus is split, a large amount of energy is produced, and more free neutrons are also released. These neutrons then in turn strike other atoms, which causes more energy to be released. If this process is repeated, a self-sustaining chain reaction will occur, and it is this chain reaction that causes the atomic bomb to have its destructive power (World Book, 1990). This chain reaction can be attained in two different ways.
The first type of atomic bomb ever used was a gun-type. In this type two subcritical pieces of U-235 are plac .....

Global Warming A Serious Threa
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 881.... can increase air and water pollution, which in turn harm human health" (ESP Health 1). The hot temperature, which could be the most direct effect of climate change, causes the heat problem. Because their cardiovascular system has to work harder to keep the body cool during hot weather. The temperature causes harmful effects to human health and another is cause of lung problem. "Higher air temperatures also increases the concentration of ozone at ground level". When this happens, the harmful ultraviolet radiation in the upper atmosphere reaches the earth's surface. .....
