VCDF 130 Section 75 Instructor: Wayne A. Williams It is accepted that cultures of similar societal structure‚ environment and resources will produce similar reactions to these forces. When comparing the Antikythera Mechanism (150-100 BCE) and The Wallingofrd clock (1327-1357 AE)‚ a separation of 1400 years‚ and differences in size and materials would belie any similarity outside of their link as geared astrolabes. These differences are moot‚ once their secondary message

In organic chemistry‚ the reaction in which water molecule is released is known as condensation reaction (Hornback‚ 2006).

Lab: investigating hooked law with springs Purpose: to find spring constants of different springs using the slope of a graph of change in heights vs. the weight force. Also‚ to be able to understand how spring constants change when you add springs in a series or paralle Pre lab predictions: We predicted that the graph of gravitational force (mg) as a function of stretch (delta x) would look like Data: Spring #1: y = 8.2941x + 0.0685 This table represents the different distances that

attached to the halogen atom. The purpose of this lab was to properly prepare t-butyl chloride from t-butyl-alcohol in a concentrated hydrochloric acid. The reaction occurs through a nucleophilic substitution‚ which is when a nucleophile replaces the leaving group in the substrate. In this lab‚ the hydroxyl group of t-butyl alcohol is replaced by a chlorine atom. The reaction proceeds through an SN1 mechanism (Weldegirma 38-41). “A nucleophile is any neutral or uncharged molecule with an unshared

The two variables that affect the rate of diffusion are: A. The size of the molecule. The larger molecule will diffuse more slowly than the smaller molecule. B. The nature of plasma membrane. If the membrane is composed of lipid portion.‚ only lipid soluble molecules can pass through while water molecules

Outline and evaluate the role of neural mechanisms in controlling eating behaviour (24 marks) Today there is enormous interest in the psychological factors that can affects a person’s eating habits‚ but some of the clearest research findings have come from research into the brain (neural) mechanisms controlling eating behaviour. One important mechanism to consider is the role of homeostasis in all mammals. Homeostasis is how the body maintains a constant internal environment. Our diet is essential

INTRODUCTION A major obstacle in the successful treatment of cancer is the development of resistance mechanisms to drug treatment. Various cellular changes that have been implicated in the development of drug resistance in cancer cells include: the increased expressions of P-glycoprotein (a multidrug transport protein) and multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP-1); increased levels of the cellular detoxification protein‚ glutathione; and changes in the expression of apoptosis associated

of the specialized underlying structures of these life-forms. In order for us to appreciate these special adaptation‚ we first need to know how a typical plant or an animal cell organelle behaves in different water and solute concentrations. In this lab‚ we will determine the effects of hypertonic‚ isotonic and hypotonic solutions on plant and animal cells. In general when an animals cell’s placed in hypertonic solution it shrivels; a plant cell on the other hand undergoes plasmolysis. When an animal
