ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is vital to living organisms. It acts as a short-term store of energy in a cell, carrying it from where it is synthesised (e.g. the mitochondria) to where it is needed for biological processes. It is well suited to this job for the following reasons: it is small and soluble (and so can be easily transported around a cell); it is easily broken down to release energy; it can transfer energy to other molecules; and it cannot leave the cell. All of these facts mean that ATP is always available to the cell as an immediate source of energy.…

As Johnson & Duberley rightly observe, the most telling difference between positivism and conventionalism is the latter’s redefinition of the scientist’s role—from a passive, detached, and would-be objective observer of a preexisting reality to a subjective, culture-bound observer who necessarily impresses his or her cultural and intellectual biases on the material under investigation. The readings for this week demonstrate the rationale for and implications of that change, first in continuing Kuhn’s discussion of scientific revolutions and in the debate between Morgan and Bourgeois & Pinder over the value and role of metaphor in scientific investigation.…
In this essay I will strive to show the extent upon which Galenic medicine was incorporated in to the predominantly Aristotelian world view, concluding that Aristotelian philosophies underpinned the majority of Galenic theories and concepts. To achieve this I will primarily demonstrate the perceived link between medicine and natural philosophy that existed at the time. I will continue with a description of the Aristotelian Form, Matter and Substance theories, which formed the basis for the Aristotelian world view. After considering the concepts that formed the Aristotelian philosophy, form, matter and substance, I will take a closer look at the Galenic theories. I aim to display how these Galenic principles relied on Aristotelian concepts and further how they were integrated into the broader world view.…
