Iron (Fe) Deficiency i*n *Cyanobacteria Fe in cyanobacteria serves as an essential redox component important to diverse metabolic pathways. Fe-rich systems in cyanobacteria such as the photosynthetic apparatus and the respiratory electron transport system are dependent on Fe supply (Raven et al.‚ 1999). Other important cellular processes such as nitrogen assimilation (Raven‚ 1988)‚ ribonucleotide synthesis‚ chlorophyll synthesis and oxygen radical detoxification are also Fe dependent. Prokaryotes

First I will state the Cosine Law which deals with finding the side of a triangle if the sides and angles are given. Consider the following figure- In the above given triangle ABC‚ sides AB‚ BC‚ and CA are represented by the small letters c‚ a and b. These are used as it is a rule to denote a side opposite to a particular angle in a triangle with the same letter in lower case. Thus the formula is given by – a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bc(CosA) Similarly‚ other sides

Finding an Angle in a Right Angled Triangle You can find the Angle from Any Two Sides We can find an unknown angle in a right-angled triangle‚ as long as we know the lengths of two of its sides.  Example A 5ft ladder leans against a wall as shown. What is the angle between the ladder and the wall? (Note: we also solve this on Solving Triangles by Reflection but now we solve it in a more general way.) The answer is to use Sine‚ Cosine or Tangent! But which one to use? We have a special

The tragedy of the triangle shirtwaist factory fire sparked the uprising in the fight for better shape of the working environment when 145 of the innocent were killed. It was that it began in a small rag bin‚ a simple target for a fire in a building with locked fire escape routes‚ unoperational elevators‚ and no ventilation‚ that initiated the fight for worker safety. Although most hand-made garment businesses have been made irrelevant in the U.S. due to industrialization and mass production today

Thompson Debunking the Bermuda Triangle The Bermuda Triangle is a triangular area in the Atlantic Ocean right off of the southeast coast of the United States. Legend has it that many people‚ ships‚ and planes have mysteriously vanished in this area because of the area’s mystical properties.
