Analysis Questions: Cycles of Matter 1. Explain the role of decomposing bacteria in the carbon and nitrogen cycles. In the carbon cycle‚ decomposing bacteria release carbon from the decaying bodies or waste into the atmosphere. Without them‚ it won’t be able for any organism to access the carbon stored in dead bodies. In the nitrogen cycle‚ decomposing bacteria breaks down animal waste‚ which creates ammonia and nitrate products rich in nitrogen. Although no animals or plants cannot directly

Dark Matter Astronomy Samuel Research Topic Topic: Dark Matter‚ Astronomy Saul Perl mutter‚ 2011 states “The Universe in made mostly of dark matter and dark energy‚ and we don’t know what either of them is.” The above statement by Saul Perl mutter suggests that astronomers at this age have found this unknown substance by the name of Dark Matter. We chose this topic on Dark Matter as it intrigues us what is beyond our atmosphere and what is it made off. We want to know how Scientists realized

Abstract In 1999‚ the Daewoo Group‚ one of the biggest transnational conglomerates‚ collapsed‚ committing a staggering $15.3 billion in accounting fraud in the process‚ the largest in world history. In 2006‚ its chairman was sentenced to eight years in prison and a disgorgement penalty of $22.7 billion. Daewoo’s problems‚ however‚ did not remain a case isolated to Korea and their mighty‚ family-controlled conglomerates called “chaebol.” Daewoo’s demise foreshadowed corporate scandals

States of matter Four fundamental states: Solid - In a solid the particles (ions‚ atoms or molecules) are packed closely together. As a result‚ a solid has a stable‚ definite shape‚ and a definite volume. Solids can only change their shape by force‚ as when broken or cut. Liquid - A liquid is a nearly incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure. The volume is definite if the temperature and pressure are constant

States of matter are the distinct forms that different phases of matter take on. Historically‚ the distinction is made based on qualitative differences in bulk properties. Solid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume and shape; liquid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume but adapts to the shape of its container; and gas is the state in which matter expands to occupy whatever volume is available. This diagram shows the nomenclature for the different phase transitions

Examples: Glass‚ Rubber Liquids flowing freely but of constant volume. Examples: Water‚ Mercury‚ Alcohol Viscosity-a measure of its resistance to gradual deformation by shear stress or tensile stress.
