floating plastic debris. The North Pacific Gyre for example has collected the so-called "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" that is now estimated at 100 times the size of Texas. Many of these long-lasting pieces wind up in the stomachs of marine birds and animals. This results in obstruction of digestive pathways which leads to reduced appetite or even starvation. Many chemicals undergo reactive decay or chemically change especially over long periods of time in groundwater reservoirs. A noteworthy class of

I think human testing is good because of these reasons. Without human testing we most likely wouldn’t be here today. Testing on animals isn’t always accurate. Doctors wouldn’t know if the newest vaccine will work on a human being if they just tested it on animals. Even if we test it on our closest genetic ancestors (i.e. Apes)‚ we wouldn’t be sure if the medicine works on humans. Apes are underdeveloped and live in the wild‚ so they’re able to withstand the obstacles the environment throws at

Should cloning of animals and humans be legal? For my immediate response‚ I think that cloning of animals and humans should be illegal. This is because there is a high that the clones will develop mutations. The way cloning works is called fusion cell cloning. This process only needs two animals. It first starts of by taking the nucleus out of an adult cell. It’s then placed into an empty egg and it’s given an electric shock‚ causing it to fuse together. Finally it forms a new cell and it’s ready

“The multi-store model of memory: testing participants’ free word recall on low and high frequency words to support the evidence of the serial position effect” Abstract: Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968) designed the multi-store model of memory theory and claimed that once information is taken in through the sensory buffer‚ it has to be rehearsed for it to become short-term memory or it will decay within seconds. After further rehearsal and semantic encoding‚ it is retained in the long-term memory

Through research I discovered that there are animals that have senses that by far exceed our five human senses. One of the animals would be the bat that we spoke about in class. Bats avoid obstacles and nab insects on the wing by emitting ultrasonic squeaks and interpreting the echo the sound waves make after bouncing off objects in the environment. This is called "echolocation‚" but bats aren’t the only animals that use echolocation. Dolphins also use echolocation to navigate themselves in murky

Light pollution Light pollution‚ also known as photo pollution or luminous pollution‚ is excessive artificial light. This phenomenon is pronounced around urban centers‚ where city lights diminish the view of stars and planets. In addition to brightened skies around cities‚ light pollution also refers to any outdoor light that creates glare and interferes with the natural night environment. Cause Light pollution results from outdoor lights aimed
