Scuba diving is a form of underwater diving in which a diver uses a scuba set to breathe underwater. According to the Professional Association of Diving Instructor (PADI)‚ a “DEEP DIVE” is considered to be anything from 18 meters (60 ft) to 30 meters (100 ft). A scuba diver moves around underwater by using swim-fins attached to the feet‚ however external propulsion can be provided by a diver propulsion vehicle. Scuba diving may be performed for a number of reasons; either for recreational purposes

CELL STRUCTURE CELL THEORY: Structural and functional unit of all living things New cells arise from already existing cells Cells contain information that instructs growth. This information can be passed onto new cells. MICROSCOPES: There are two main types of microscopes: Light and Electron Electron Micrographs- shown in colour LIGHT ELECTRON Uses beam of light Magnification = x1500 Resolution = 200 nm Wide range of specimens can be used Samples are fairly quick + easy to prepare

my helmet and said it is way hot for this sweat box. Then Jim took off down the road and I road the ditch. I crossed the road to get over to the bridge; I started driving in the cat walk. As I was driving through I slid in to the one side of the wall‚ witch broke the tie rod. I went slamming back and forth between the walls of the bridge. Next thing the wheeler cocked side ways in the bridge and I went flying. I hit the ground so hard it knocked me out cold. I was out for one hour

Within Richard Preston’s‚ The Hot Zone‚ the very real threats posed by the deadly viruses of Marburg and Ebola Reston is brought to attention through the “terrifying true story”. In the first chapter‚ Charles Monet is introduced as a man with a little too much free time and works at the pump house at the sugar factory within near the base of Mt. Elgon. One day in 1980‚ he takes a female friend to Kitum Cave‚ and it is believed that this is the day he caught the Marburg virus. The first symptoms include

Experiment 9 : The effect of substrate concentration on enzyme activity Objective To find out the relationship between the substrate concentration and the rate of reaction by determining the number of bubbles produce Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a by-product of biochemical metabolism. An accumulation of hydrogen peroxide can be deadly‚ so it has to be decomposed. One of the decomposing factors is an enzyme called Catalase. Catalase breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The chemical
