Zebrafish Synthesis
New neurons added during human development associate with existing mature neuronal circuits in the brain to maintain some plasticity in an ever-changing world of new experiences. The zebrafish brain also continuously integrates these newborn neurons into existing neuronal circuits during development and growth. This conservation has allowed Boulanger-Weill et al. the ability to further study the morphological and functional development of these immature neurons using zebrafish. They showed that dendritic arbors in newborn neurons became more complex throughout maturation and displayed a GABAergic or glutamatergic identity at the end of maturation. Furthermore, early newborn neurons had a collective response to a visual stimulus similar to functionally

    Starfish are very unique creatures. Starfish are sometimes called sea stars. They are classified as invertebrate Echinoderm.

    TRANSCRIPTION: Transcription is the process of which DNA matches corresponding RNA bases, Transcription is located in the Nucleus, and the only type of RNA that is involved in Transcription is mRNA, and the purpose is so that the code can get out of the Nucleus, mRNA is also made through Transcription, It also takes information that doesn't directly make proteins but it helps makes codes for the production of proteins, DNA Transcription consist of 4 nucleotide bases, Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine. Transcription also unwinds the strand of DNA and the RNA comes in and matches then becomes a single strand. The only thing that changes during this process is the Thymine gets replaced with Uracil.…

    Often overlooked in the story of Colonial Enlightenment and The Great Awakening is the unequivocally decisive role that it played in providing an encouragement to pursue a just and harmonious way of existence in life, such a way that would bring Republicanism to the forefront of Colonial Political debate. Whitefield speaks of the utter necessity to pursue a cause that you know to be righteous no matter the cost. When Whitefield states “and that their professing themselves to be his followers, would call them to a constant state of voluntary suffering and self-denial.” he is in fact referencing the emergence of Christianity through the journeys of apostles and persecution of the Religion in its youth and inception. Whitefield’s words relate…

    Regeneration is the biological mechanism whereby organisms restore lost or damaged cells. This process can be used to replace organs, tissues and limbs on a small to large scale. Each type of regeneration requires different amounts of energy, resources and time. Orconectus rusticus (crayfish), compete for food, survival and mating. They have large claws that are vitally important in competition and survival. This species has developed the ability to regenerate these claws over time if they are lost or damaged. The motives and forms of regeneration in crayfish have evolved due to many factors. The effects that regeneration has are linked to the various needs that have evolved in the…

    They have learned that there are critical periods for brain development. They discovered that parents fill a vital role in the development of their child’s brain through their interactions with the child.Parents and caregivers must provide proper stimulation to help develop connections. Scientists believed that children's brains were predetermined to a great extent in terms of how they would develop. However, scientists now know that an infant's experiences help determine how connections are formed and which pathways will develop in the brain. Thus, rather than being predetermined, an infant's brain is a work in progress, influenced not only by his or her genetics, but also the surrounding world.…

    During protein digestion, a water molecule is added which breaks down the carbonyl-carbon-nitrogen sin the peptide bonds of proteins causing the liberation of amino acids. This process is referred to as proteolysis. Water molecules break down the carbonyl-carbon-nitrogen single bond (peptide bond) that holds single amino acid molecules together (Caroline Ritchie, 2013. This process is called hydrolysis and is catalysed by protease.…

    There are reports of abuse in nursing homes every year. There are many types of abuse reported as well. Even though there are many reports there are also many cases that are not reported. Elderly being abused puts them in an even more vulnerable position that what they were in. They now have to fear for their lives from the people who should be taking care of them. With reported cases and non-reported cases the abuser is rarely punished which makes the situation much worse. Elder abuse in nursing homes has grown at an alarming rate and not being reported and I firmly believe that the punishment should be increased for these abusers such as licenses being pulled and state stepping in more to investigate.…
