In his talk‚ Mr. Vance Vredenberg reiterated that the unusual decline of frog’s population in California was due to a disease called chytridiomycosis in frogs caused by an unusual type of fungus called Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. This disease mainly target every kind of amphibian that would in turn cause the regression in population of the affected species‚ though some infected species were able to withstand

Results A left gastrocnemius muscle of a frog (L=3.2cm in situ) was used in experiment 1 and 2‚ while a right gastrocnemius muscle of a frog (L=3.4cm in situ) was used in experiment 3. The sciatic nerve of the frog was placed over the stimulatory electrodes covered with a piece of a Kimwipe moistened with Ringer’s solution. The relationship between muscle length‚ force production and velocity of contraction was studied. Force transduced calibration In order to get a more accurate data from force

The Carbon Cycle The element Carbon is the principle block for the organic compounds that make up life. This is because the study of the Carbon Cycle draws upon theories from biology‚ chemistry‚ geology and oceanography in order to understand the movement of carbon throughout the atmosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ and geosphere. Carbon is made up of four electrons that are able to form with each other; this causes the many different forms of carbon. The most popular form of carbon is carbon dioxide; this

Nitrogen cycle A simple and complete diagram of the nitrogen cycle. The blue boxes represent stores of nitrogen‚ the green writing is for processes that occur to move the nitrogen from one place to another and the red writing are all the bacteria involved. The nitrogen cycle is the process by which nitrogen is converted between its various chemical forms. This transformation can be carried out through both biological and physical processes. Important processes in the nitrogen cycle include fixation

The Carbon Cycle is a complex series of processes through which all of the carbon atoms in existence rotate. The same carbon atoms in your body today have been used in countless other molecules since time began. The wood burned just a few decades ago could have produced carbon dioxide which through photosynthesis became part of a plant. When you eat that plant‚ the same carbon from the wood which was burnt can become part of you. The carbon cycle is the great natural recycler of carbon atoms. Unfortunately

Introduction: Introduction: Methods: First‚ we needed to prepare the frog by remove the skin from the leg and cut off the muscle on the femur‚ and find the gastrocnemius muscle‚ which is the big muscle on the lower leg‚ and then we found the tendon of Achilles that is below the heel‚ and cut it at the lowest point of the

a significantly less profit than those with more misogynistic foundations. Disney released The Princess and the Frog in 2009. This was a film with a strong female lead that personified traditional male and female characteristics. Unfortunately‚ The Princess and the Frog did not garner the profit of previous films. Per Whelan‚ “Much to Disney’s dismay‚ however‚ The Princess and the Frog did not do as well at the box office as they might have hoped—a dismal $104 million domestic gross. This had surprisingly

company either suffers or benefits depending on what kind of economy it is. This will depend on what kind of company it is‚ and what kind of market the business does well in. The Business Cycle is what determines this factor. It is a term used in economics to designate changes in the economy. Timing of the business cycle is not predictable‚ but its phases seem to be. Many economists site four phasesprosperity‚ liquidation‚ depression‚ and recovery. During a period of prosperity‚ a rise in production
