city-states. As we know‚ catapults were mainly used in the medieval era‚ or rather‚ it is most famous for use in that time‚ which you have probably seen in movies and books. How Does the Catapult Work? There is quite a bit of science behind the making of the catapult‚ and how it works. It is similar to a ballista that it works by storing tension in a flexed piece of wood or in twisted ropes. It’s similar to a bow‚ but on a much larger scale. However‚ that is just the catapult which is probably most

HOW AN ELECTRIC GENERATOR WORKS Electrical generators by definition are devices that convert mechanical energy into electric energy. The mechanical energy in turn is produced from chemical or nuclear energy in various types of fuel‚ or obtained from renewable sources such as wind or falling water. Steam turbines‚ internal-combustion engines‚ gas combustion turbines‚ electric motors‚ water and wind turbines are the common methods to supply the mechanical energy for such devices. Generators

Kierra Roberts 1-4-11 11B How Do Batteries Work? Electricity is the flow of electrons through a wire‚ that is called a circuit. Batteries have three parts to them‚ an anode‚ a cathode‚ and an electrolyte. The cathode and the anode are hooked up to an electrical circuit. The chemical reaction that is happening causes the electrons to build up at the anode. When the circuit is closed the electrons will be able to get to the cathode. When the electrochemical process change the

extra hydrogen bonds on top of each other‚ making extra-tough microfibrils that cannot be digested by most organisms. Proteins accomplish many different tasks‚ including structural support‚ storage‚ transport‚ movement‚ and defense against foreign substances. One noteworthy type of protein‚ called an enzyme‚ acts as a catalyst‚ speeding up chemical reactions in the cell. All proteins are composed of the same set of 20 amino acids‚ and each amino acid differs from the other only by the "R group" attached

How Does the Thermometer Work? A thermometer is a device that measures the temperature of things. The name is made up of two smaller words: "Thermo" means heat and "meter" means to measure. You can use a thermometer to tell the temperature outside or inside your house‚ inside your oven‚ even the temperature of your body if you’re sick. One of the earliest inventors of a thermometer was probably Galileo. We know him more for his studies about the solar system and his "revolutionary" theory

G-protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) are cell surface proteins that relay extracellular signals to the nucleus. These signals can be in the form of light‚ peptides‚ lipids‚ and sugars. Once activated by a ligand at the outer cell surface‚ GPCRs activate their cognate G-proteins that reside on the inner cell membrane. The activated G-proteins then slide along the inside of the cell membrane to activate a cascade of proteins and enzymes that in turn amplify the original message received by the GPCR
