nation’s most sought after fuel‚ natural gas‚ had begun. Fracking is a technique where water‚ chemicals‚ and sand are pumped into an underground well. This is done to unlock the natural gases trapped in shale formations. When this mixture is injected at high pressure into a well it creates fractures in the shale allowing gas to flow into the well. Our energy resources are an essential component of our modern society. Every day Americans hear about how companies are in search of reliable and affordable

United States” 135). The domestication of energy is the production and consumption of energy from resources found in the home country. Domestic energy can occur from petroleum reserves on public and private lands‚ from using hydraulic fracturing of shale to make gas‚ and from the use of renewable resources. It is needed because of how it gives economic stability and securable energy for the citizens of the home country. The domestication of energy and how to produce it is an emerging topic that concerns

FRQ #3 a) The flow of genetic information from DNA to protein in eukaryotic cells is called the central dogma of biology. The role of RNA in protein synthesis is extremely important as protein synthesis could not occur without RNA. Three forms of RNA exist solely to create proteins. Through a process known as translation‚ RNA constructs the proteins necessary to sustain life. Spliceosomes Process pre-mRNA by splicing out intronic nucleic acids producing mRNA which is then translated to protein

is increasing in popularity. With fossil fuel sources depleting‚ natural gas is becoming more looked at as a new main energy source. There is a large quantity of natural gas held within the layers of shale underground and only recently new technology was developed that can release the gas from the shale in a process called fracking. Geographic Trends In the past people have used many harmful process to obstruct materials from the earth. Now that people have the knowledge of how activities can
