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

In doing so it will also serve to provide a basic understanding of the importance of communication within teams as well as what global virtual teams are. Previously written journals in this field of study will be consulted to add depth and validity to the topic of discussion. The strength and weaknesses of communication in global virtual teams as well as

MACROMOLECULS LAB: What are the mystery powders? Period: 4 Asia Enoch Introduction: A carbohydrate is an immediate form of energy in your body. Monomers is smaller than a polymer. For carbohydrate the monomer is sugar and the polymer is a polysaccharides. Carbohydrates are important to our body because we need to use energy. The purpose of this lab is to figure which one is the monomer and which one is the polymer. Hypothesis: If I place two drops of iodine into the mystery powder‚ it

T-test for Two Independent Samples * This test is used when only two unrelated groups are being compared and the measurements are either interval or ratio. The two groups may or may not have the same number of samples. * The t-test for two independent groups involves testing whether or not there is a significant difference between the population means of the two groups. Consider a study wherein the effectiveness of banana leaves as an organic wrapper was compared to that of aluminum foil

The gamer’s dilemma focuses on the acts of virtual murder and pedophilia and rather such acts are appropriate engagement with the game. Simulation‚ storytelling‚ and sport are three different ways that gamers play any game. I focus on storytelling and simulation games only‚ arguing that our intuitions about these types of games differ‚ and thus sufficiently establish a case against. Before turning to storytelling and simulation games‚ however‚ it is worth dwelling momentarily on the in-game representations
