The Size of the Solar System Overview • Become familiar with the scale of the planets vs. their distances. • Get an overview of the solar system. Introduction It is easy to flip to the index of an astronomy textbook to discover that‚ say‚ the Sun lies 150 million kilometers away from Earth. It is far more difficult (if not impossible)‚ however‚ to picture this distance in the human mind. In this exercise‚ we will learn to access the often unpalatable distances encountered in astronomy

making the bacteria take on various phenotypic characteristics. Background Information: Genetic transformation is one of the most important processes in biotechnology. Essentially‚ genetic transformation involves the process where a cell (in this lab‚ a bacterial cell) takes up foreign DNA from its surroundings and incorporates it into its own DNA. This gene transfer is accomplished with the aid of a plasmid‚ a

Bio Diversity: A Major Concern of Our Eco System The variety of life on Earth‚ its biological diversity is commonly referred to as biodiversity. The number of species of plants‚ animals‚ and microorganisms‚ the enormous diversity of genes in these species‚ the different ecosystems on the planet‚ such as deserts‚ rainforests and coral reefs are all part of a biologically diverse Earth. Appropriate conservation and sustainable development strategies attempt to recognize this as being integral to any

Every Monday‚ Wednesday‚ and Friday I trudge up two flights of stairs with the wind whipping at my face as my fingers feverishly click out the final text message I need to send before class starts. I walk into the warm‚ musty computer lab and sit at my usual spot with the view of the library through the tree limbs. I am always sure to come to English class because I know of my terrible history in this subject area. I have always struggled with English and before this semester had assumed that the

known as germ warfare — is the deliberate use of disease-causing biological agents such as bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi‚ or biological toxins‚ to kill or incapacitate humans‚ animals or plants as an act of war. Biological weapons (often termed "bio-weapons" or "bio-agents") are living organisms or replicating entities (viruses) that reproduce or replicate within their host victims. Entomological (insect) warfare is also considered a type of BW. Biological weapons may be employed in various ways to
