Ease of entry – When entry into an industry is relatively easy‚ more firms are likely to invest in that. ‚ including some marginal ones‚ are attracted to it. However‚ committed members of the industry may adopt strategies to discourage potential

Biology Coursework ¡V Does The Light Intensity Affect the Rate of Photosynthesis The Investigation In this experiment I will investigate the affect in which the light intensity will have on a plants photosynthesis process. This will be done by measuring the bubbles of oxygen and having a bulb for the light intensity variable. Variables The input variable which will be used in this investigation will be the light intensity (this will be a 100Watt bulb being moved closer and further away from

can be made. Light intensity is one of the factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis and that is what our experiment is based on: Aim: In this experiment we shall investigate how the rate of photosynthesis (measured by the increased volume of oxygen) is affected by changes of light intensity in water plants. Hypothesis: I predict that as the intensity of light increases‚ so will the rate of photosynthesis. Furthermore‚ I hypothesise that if the light intensity increases‚ the rate of photosynthesis

Uniforms force students to wear the same thing five days a week‚ for the whole school year. Not wearing

Increases and Decreases In Social Capital The definition of ‘social capital’ is easiest to define when looking at both words separately. Essentially‚ the ‘capital’ is the breadth‚ number and subsequent advantages of ‘social’ bonds. As sociologist John Fielding puts it‚ “Its central thesis can be summed up in two words: relationships matter.” (Field‚ J (2008). Social Capital. 2nd ed. New York: Routledge. 1). These relationships may manifest themselves in numerous social contexts‚ such as in work

to address these problems. Two of the biggest threats to the environment are air pollution and waste. Gas emissions from factories and exhaust fumes from vehicles lead to global warming‚ which may have a devastating effect on the planet in the future. As the human population increases‚ we are also producing ever greater quantities of waste‚ which contaminates the earth and pollutes rivers and oceans. Governments could certainly make more effort to reduce air pollution. They could introduce laws to
