AP‚ quite possibly the best program for me. Not everyone can take 4 years of school in 3 but I believe that I’m a great fit for AP. For starters‚ AP is all about taking the initiative and learning on your own. I am already doing that‚ whether it be reading ahead on what I’m learning in class or doing extra on assignments to secure a 4+. I enjoy learning‚ it’s fun‚ my parents and teachers don’t have to force me to do it and AP will require lots of self-learning which is already one of my strengths

Table 1. An infrared spectrum for the pure aspirin from the synthesis was taken by using crushed crystals‚ Figure 1. This spectrum was shown with different absorption bands corresponded with the functional groups of aspirin which was observed at frequencies > 1500 cm-1. These infrared frequencies were shown in Table 2. An infrared spectrum of an authentic aspirin was used to distinguish how authentic the infrared spectrum from the synthesis was shown in Figure 2 In this lab‚ aspirin was synthesized

AP Psychology Free Response Questions Sample The following questions are samples of the free response questions from past AP Psychology exams. The free response sections are worth 33 1/3 percent of the total grade. Students have 50 minutes to answer two questions. The key to successfully answering these questions is to: completely define the terms using appropriate psychological terminology and then critically apply each term. Many students concentrate their efforts on the multiple-choice

(Robinson‚ 2011‚ p. 23). The origin of dreams encompasses three areas‚ the psychological‚ the scientific and the theoretical depending on to whom you talk. But for this paper‚ a review of Freud’s concepts of dreams‚ an analysis of the Activation Synthesis Theory of dreams‚ and an inquiry into the Activation-Information-Mode (AIM) Model of dreams will define dream theories. Dreaming is an important aspect of a person’s psychological well-being‚ and Sigmund Freud began the real inquiry into the process

Protein Synthesis Notes If DNA’s shape is altered it can’t function properly. RNA is more flexible so changing the shape changes the function‚ which is wanted. Any shape of RNA can become another. Three shapes/functions of RNA: -mRNA: messenger (linear_____) -rRNA: ribosomal (large and like a globe) More stable than mRNA. -tRNA: transfer (shaped like t) If you flatten this it becomes mRNA.

Presidential elections have been going on in our county for hundreds of years. Most of them took place before television even existed. Television was invented witch color in the early 1960’s and that is when the first televised presidential debate took place (document D). Presidential debates‚ from the start have always been a pretty big hit on the television but ever since 1988‚ the debates ratings have been below 40. I think that this is because more interesting television programs have come

enetics is the study of heritable changes in gene function that do not involve changes in the DNA sequence. Involves a methylation composition that affects the communication and response between cells and DNA. We all know DNA is your genetic makeup passed down from generation to generation. However‚ our DNA is intertwined with a protein known as histone. The bond between histones and DNA can vary along the DNA strand. This is caused by mythol group composition that cause the histones and DNA to coil

Traditional way of synthesizing sensitive rhodamine starts with rhodamine B‚ amino compound‚ and some alkali additive in the presence of weak base. However‚ for RH-PY‚ the stearic hindrance of pyrene slows the reactivity‚ and the reaction does not go to completion. Therefore‚ the reaction procedure was modified as follows. First‚ HATU and DIPEA were used to activate the carboxyl group of rhodamine B‚ then the activated rhodamine B was reacted with 1-aminopyrene. By introducing this method‚ the reaction
