I’m passionate about it because I desire to know how living organisms function for I could eventually use that knowledge to improve the quality of life of people. Meanwhile that I’m still enrolled in BMCC‚ with the guidance of professor Adolfina Koroch‚ I have created a busy schedule for next semester. I will be an assistant professor for biology assisting in the labs and giving tutoring to the students. Also‚ I’ll

CASE 14 NIKE‚ INC.: COST OF CAPITAL Cost of capital denotes the opportunity cost of using capital for a particular investment as oppose to the alternative investment which has similar systematic risk. It is extremely important since it is used in evaluating whether a project is feasible or not in the net present value (NPV) analysis‚ or in assessing the value of an asset. WACC (weighted average cost of capital) is the proportional average of each category of capital inside a firm (common

The Rise of the Superbugs A Superbug is a bacterium that can live in the human body and has the ability to withstand all forms of antibiotic medication. Superbugs are becoming increasingly significant in modern medicine as they are becoming more and more resistant to antibiotics. Antibiotics were discovered in 1928 by Alexander Fleming (Walsh and McManus‚ 2000). This resulted in a huge movement forward in medical history and even greatened human life expectancy. Since then antibiotics have been

Biology assignment - In Vitro Fertilization. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)‚ is the procedure whereby human babies are conceived‚ not in the womb but in a test tube or a Petri dish. This procedure has become one of the greatest developments in the world of medical technology. In Vitro Fertilization has given infertile couples the chance to conceive and bear a child from a full term of pregnancy. Without this procedure‚ their infertility would render them childless. There are many aspects of

Most organisms are active in a limited temperature range 1. identify the role of enzymes in metabolism‚ describe their chemical composition and use a simple model to describe their specificity on substrates Enzymes are proteins which act as catalysts in living things (they lower the amount of energy needed for a reaction‚ therefore increasing rate of reaction). Enzymes speed up reactions but are not used up by them. Enzymes catalyze only one
