Color VS. Drawing Which is more important color or drawing? These two have always been fought over for centuries by Poussiniste and Rubenistes. Two great pieces of art that were created in the 1600’s are Peter Paul Rubens’ The Caledonian Boar Hunt and Nicolas Poussin’s Landscape with Calm.

body temperature wouldn’t be enough to perform any of these reactions properly. Enzymes have certain conditions in which it will work in. For instance‚ most enzymes react at certain temperatures (varies in each enzyme)‚ most enzymes react from a pH of 6- 8‚ and react faster or slower according to the amount of substrate present. Altering temperature‚ pH level‚ and concentrations of enzyme and substrates may cause absolute no change to the activation energy in which the enzyme would have been denatured

Week 2 Discussion 1 The Daoism (Taoism) Legalism and the Confucianism all came from the same belief of peace and accord in the society of the Chinese. Legalism wanted a strong political body for a solution of the troubles in contemporartt society. But Confucianism and Daoism (Taoism) a strong political entity was not what they had in mind. They were opposed to that idea. Whereas legalism had believed with having striated laws and also punishments were preconditions in having a strong

Our assignment is about how chromosomes separate and how cell division works through microtubules and histones. DNA in the nucleus is loose and not well defined into chromosomes because it is usually tightly coiled‚ but in the interphase nucleus the chromatin exists in two forms: loosely coiled form called euchromatin and tightly coiled formed called heterochromatin. These two types become more coiled to form the chromosome at the time of cell division. DNA is a bit loosely coiled in the euchromatin

9.16 Explain why human skin coloration is not sufficiently explained by polygenic inheritance. -Polygenic inheritance is the additive effects of two or more genes on a single phenotypic characteristic. 9.17 Describe the limits‚ benefits‚ and ethical challenges of genetic testing. -Genetic testing can fall into one of the five categories: carrier testing‚ diagnostic testing‚ prenatal testing‚ newborn screening‚ and predictive testing. Carrier testing is designed to determine whether a person

There are many differences between photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Photosynthesis requires energy as photons. Cellular respiration supplies energy in the form of ATP. In photosynthesis‚ electron transport occurs in the membranes of chloroplasts or thylakoid discs. Cellular respiration takes place in the membranes of mitochondria. In photosynthesis‚ water breaks down to supply 2 electrons and 2 Hydrogen ions and release ½ O at the beginning of the chain. In cellular respiration‚ 2 electrons

Aerobic Respiration Breaking down glucose to release energy Products are Carbon dioxide and water Diffusion is … the movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a low concentration until the concentration is equal. Role of a human circulatory system: Diffuse In – oxygen (O2)‚ dissolved food (glucose) and water (H2O) Diffuse Out – carbon dioxide (CO2)‚waste and water(H2O) Respiration – releasing energy in cells Breathing – getting air into and out of your body
