MOLECULAR FARMING INTRODUCTION Biotechnology in agriculture has two categories: 1. “Improvements” to existing livestock and crops‚ and 2. Development of entirely new uses for both animals and plants (biopharming). “Improvements"‚ include ‘input traits’ such as crops with extra resistance to insect attack‚ improved weed control‚ increase the plants tolerance to cold‚ drought and other environmental factor. Ex "Roundup ready" soya‚ "Starlite" corn‚ or "Frost-tolerant" tomatoes. WHY PLANTS

everyday lives. Many artists today even try to mimic artists in ancient Greece‚ but often fail to do so. One of the most important aspects to come out of Greek art is the architecture‚ most notable the three architectural orders of ancient Greece‚ Doric‚ Ionic and Corinthian. Each components of this order has a system of inter dependable parts whose proportions are based upon mathematical ratios. The basic components of all three orders are the column and entablature. Although most people do not know this

1. DNA Nucleotide [pic] Nucleotides consist of three parts --- a pentose sugar‚ a nitrogen-containing base‚ and a phosphate group. A pentose sugar is a five-sided sugar. Deoxyribose has a hydrogen atom attached to its #2 carbon atom (designated 2’)‚ and ribose has a hydroxyl group atom there. Deoxyribose-containing nucleotides are the monomers of DNA RNA Nucleotide [pic] The left picture shows the nucleotide unit of RNA. Nucleotides differ from nucleosides

Purpose: The purpose of the lab was to observe what happens when two ionic compounds are combined in a small area and to be able to record the type of precipitate that is formed. Background: An ionic compound is formed when ions “transfer‚” or lose or gain electrons. The ions in an ionic compound are held together by ionic bonds in a lattice shaped structured. They are packed tightly together to maximize the attraction between the ions. When two compounds are mixed together‚ they form a precipitate

The purpose of this experiment is to work with aqueous solutions of ionic substances. Aqueous solutions are those solutions in which water is the solvent. When ionic substances are dissolved in water‚ the ions separate and become surrounded by water molecules. The focus of this experiment is on precipitates. The goal of this experiment is to study the nature of ionic reactions‚ write balanced equations‚ and to write net ionic equations for precipitation reactions. Based on the solubility rules my

Goals The main goal of this project is to learn how to identify the properties of an unknown ionic compound. In order to do this successfully the group has to use a variety of methods and run several tests on the unknown compound. By doing this the group will be able to identify the different chemical and physical properties of the compound that will help obtain the identity of the specific compound given. The group will devise two syntheses of the compound‚ and compare them for cost effectiveness

Night by Elie Wisel and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck are both books that have differences and similarities in the relationships of their main characters. These characters are Elie and his father‚ which are two Jews trapped in a concentration camp for the book Night. The other book Of Mice and Men includes two other characters‚ who are Lennie and George. These two characters have very close friendship‚ and take care of each other. These two relationships differ and coincide‚ in how they treat
