Definition In the context of humanitarian organisations transport is defined as: “The activities involved in moving supplies from point of origin to internal customers or beneficiaries”. The aim of transport is to physically move supplies in a reliable and safe manner‚ on time‚ cost effectively and efficiently to its destination. Policies The rapid growth of technology and the changes in the delivery of humanitarian aid has done little to change the fact that relief supplies still have

membrane of a cell is extremely important to the transportation of substances into and out of the cell. The outer membrane of a cell is made up of lipids and proteins. Most of the lipids in plasma membranes are phospholipids. The phospholipids have a hydrophilic head and two hydrophobic tails. When engulfed in water‚ they arrange themselves such that all the hydrophobic tails clump together‚ surrounded by the hydrophilic heads‚ protecting the tails from the exposure to the water. In cells‚ which are

step 2: The hypothesis Answer the following questions: * What is a hypothesis? * How is a hypothesis different from a theory in science? * Describe an example of how you may use the scientific method in your daily life and state a good hypothesis for that example. * Which hypothesis did you first pick in the "Recognizing a good hypothesis" activity in the scientific method tutorial? Why? If any‚ which mistake(s) did you make when picking a hypothesis? A hypothesis is a specific

The Science of Transportation: Ancient World: The Wheel: • How do they work? Wheels work by rolling along a surface. The curved surface of the wheel reduces the friction between the two surfaces due to a decrease in surface area. With less friction it is much easier to move an object. This is because rolling friction is much weaker than sliding friction. • How did they come to be? The wheel was invented in prehistoric times; as the oldest example of a wheel yet found is from the region of

Investigate factors affecting cell membrane permeability in beetroot. Research Question: How does variation in temperature affect the permeability of cell membranes? Background Information: In this investigation I will want to identify how variations in temperature effect the permeability through the use of a beetroot. I predict that as the temperature of the water increases so will the dispersion of the pigment. Independent Variable: The temperature of water will be increased in increments of 10oC

The word ‘Hypothesis is derived from a Greek word‚ which means ‘to suppose’. It is usually considered as the principal instrument in research. For a researcher it is a formal question that he or she intends to resolve. In this way a hypothesis may be defined as a proposition or a supposition. The main function of hypothesis is to guide the collection and processing of materials and direct the research. Hypothesis is a tentative conclusion. It is facts based theory. A research scholar will analyze

1. The cell membrane structure is vital to the life of the cell. The cell membrane is shaped as having a phosphate head at the very outer surface‚ and two fatty acid tails hanging from it. The membrane is double‚ so at the tip of the fatty acid tails‚ there are two more fatty acid tails attached to another phosphate head. This is what it looks like: <br> <br>The reason the cell membrane is shaped like this is mainly to control the water flow in and out of the cell. Water is very important to

membrane and explain the process of active and passive transport through the membrane. The plasma membrane is made up of proteins that form pores and channels‚ carbohydrate molecules that are used for cell recognition and cholesterol to provide membrane stability. Phospholipid molecules are the most abundant component found in the plasma membrane. Phospholipids molecules are composed of a phosphate head and a lipid tail; the structure of a cell membrane is a double layer of these phospholipid
