Scale Size Analysis What’s it like to be as small as a fly? What’s it like to be as big as an elephant? In a matter of scale‚ the perspective of life differs dramatically between the large and the small. The things we see in nature every day‚ sometimes it makes me think we live in a strange world. The similarities between “Joyas Volardores” and “A Matter of Scale” are that they both go in depth with nature. In “Joyas Volardores‚” Doyle talks about the heart of a hummingbird and a blue whale

Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to learn how to use salicylic acid to make aspirin. Aspirin is the most widely used over-the-counter drug in the world. The average tablet contains about 325 milligrams of acetylsalicylic acid with an inert binding material such as starch. Aspirin is used to relieve pain‚ reduce inflammation‚ and lower fever. Aspirin originally was derived by boiling the bark of the white willow tree. Although the salicin in willow bark has analgesic properties‚ purified

The first article listed begins by introducing a man named Raymond who is hoping to achieve the body figure in which he has always dreamed of having. It goes through his daily workout in detail in which he accomplishes after a long day in his office. To achieve his

In the first reaction‚ magnesium was burned to produce magnesium oxide. The reaction produced a bright light‚ which is evidence of a chemical change. The second reaction occurred as a result of solid magnesium reacting with hydrochloric acid. The reaction produced heat and bubbles‚ both indications of a chemical change. A wood splint was used to determine that the gas produced was hydrogen gas‚ hence the other product is magnesium dichloride. In the third reaction‚ ammonium carbonate was heated to

Real or Fake Reality TV Out of many TV shows‚ there is an extensive number of reality TV shows. For example‚ the most common are American Idol‚ The Bachelor‚ and Big Brother. These reality shows impact our lives both positively and negatively. According to Cynthia Frisby‚ “reality shows are just new shows that promise more drama‚ suspense‚ and laughter while constantly pushing the strings on what is morally and decently acceptable.” Reality TV shows craft opportunities for normal but talented people

In the second separation of this experiment‚ the Erlenmeyer flask with the first filtrate was put into a beaker so the filtrate was in the beaker. The beaker was then heated on a hotplate until near boiling. After the whey protein had precipitated‚ a vacuum filter was used to filter out the whey. These proteins were then air-dried. A qualitative test was done to indicate that the sample extracted was the protein whey. Again‚ a small test tube was used and 2 mL of protein test solution was put in

Staphylococcus aureus‚ otherwise known as Staph‚ is a bacterium that has naturally acquired resistance to many current antibiotics. Specifically‚ the MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) strain has acquired resistance to methicillin. Staph frequently colonizes in human nasal passages‚ which serve as reservoirs for transmission. The following texts focus on Staph’s nasal colonization and mode of transmission‚ inspired by the research of Dr. Alexander Cole at UCF’s Burnett School of Biomedical

Review 2: Text DNA is a very special and important molecule that is in our life‚ DNA is found in the nucleus. DNA stores the data needed to make poly peptides‚then data in a nucleic acid is transferred to messenger RNA‚ which escapes the nucleus into a protein. According to the DNA and protein article DNA is used in many things but DNA is used to make pol-peptides. They are another word for proteins. When a cell makes a protein the direction are resembled from the part of an DNA. DNA strand and transcript
