battery my salt water battery has the three main components‚ the electrolyte (in case you didn’t know its like a liquid that conducts th electric current (I hope I spelt that right))‚ a cathode (the negative electrode) and the an anode (the positive electrode). As you may or may not know a chemical reaction must occur so that that chemical energy can be converted into electrical energy which is then used for whatever. In my salt water battery the electric current passes through the salt water which

The Sperm and the Egg PSY/265 APA Format The miracle of life is at the same time amazingly complex and alarmingly simple. It all starts with the act of love. During intercourse‚ a man can ejaculate up to 500 million sperm inside a woman’s vagina. Each sperm carries the father’s genetic code (or DNA). A man’s testes are constantly at work‚ churning out over 1000 sperm every second (Rathus‚ 2011). The quality of the sperm depends on the man’s age‚ lifestyle‚ his diet‚ and more. It’s a

Eggs I have chosen to use the recipe for classic white cake. This recipe has all the basic ingredients such as butter‚ sugar‚ milk‚ flour and eggs. The ingredient I have chosen to use is eggs. The functions of eggs in the cake are structure‚ emulsification‚ moisture‚ flavor‚ color and aeration. One of the functions of eggs is the structure. An egg is a major structure provider and gives the cake firmness‚ lightness and stability. When eggs are beaten and heated they turn mixtures from a liquid

The Sperm and the Egg Tarnisha S. Hagens PSY/265 April 15‚ 2012 UOPX/Axia College The Sperm and the Egg The movement of the sperm known as semen comes from the testicles also known as the testis in the endocrine gland. Adult males build up at least 100 million sperm cells each day. The sperm cells known as semen would slowly move into the epididymis because this is where the semen would go through maturation. Before the semen became to be known it was called the spermatogenesis which differentiates

In the article‚ " The Egg and the Sperm" by Emily Martin‚ the author attempts to shed light on the gender stereotypes hidden within the scientific language of our biology textbooks. I found this article to be very intriguing because‚ as a nursing student‚ I’ve been exposed to many medical and biology textbooks and it has never occurred to me that cultural beliefs could influence how a biologist described their discoveries. I had no idea that within the scientific accounts of reproductive biology

and Egg Testes are suspended outside the abdominal cavity by the scrotum‚ a pouch of skin that keeps the testes close or far from the body at an optimal temperature for sperm development. Somniferous tubules are inside each testis‚ and are where sperm are produced by meiosis. About 250 meters (850 feet) of tubules are packed into each testis. Spermatocytes inside the tubules divide by meiosis to produce spermatids that in turn develop into mature sperm. Sperm production takes place

Egg Drop (lab writes) In our science class we did an egg drop experiment. We used the scientific method to answer the question and solve the problem. Our question for this particular lab was “will an egg break or be secured‚ if covered with thick sponges and drop from ten feet above the ground?” our idea was to secure the egg from breaking and we wanted to design something that would provide a lot of cushioning directly on the egg. We came up with many different ideas until we choose

of our project was to design and build a contraption that would secure an egg from breaking upon impact from a second story window‚ and the contraption wieghing as least as possible while falling the fastest. We wanted to design something that would provide a lot of cushioning directly to the egg‚ and also provide extra cushioning to weaken the impact. After testing and submitting a design of just bubble wrap around the egg we found out that it will not be allowed. Due to this we had to make changes

3 Procedure: What you need: -Four raw eggs -Four cups of white vinegar -beakers/cups for the eggs What to do: 1. Put the 4 eggs in each cup with one cup of vinegar. Let that sit for 24 hours. This will make the egg shell come off or dissolve. If the egg shell is not off‚ put the egg in fresh vinegar. Then‚ carefully wash the egg in water and measure each egg using a string to measure length and width using cm. Then put each egg in either‚ vinegar‚ corn syrup‚ a thin solution‚ and
