Reality applications by 2020. Seeing the world today‚ computers are used for various Virtual reality applications such as simulations. Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system. Simulations are used for various actives such as: scientific researches‚ home and amusement hall entertainments‚ work field training‚ etc. The concept of simulation is leveraged and is being used by military training by the Canadian Force. Moreover‚ the Canadian Forces launched a project

Experiment1Separation of mixtures by filtration and crystallisationBackgroundThe separation of a mixture of two solids can often be achieved by filtration and crystallisation. To be successful‚ this requires that the components of the mixture have different solubilities in a particular solvent. AimThe purpose of this experiment is to separate sodium chloride/charcoal and sodium chloride/copper(II) chloride mixtures.

The liver converts excess protein into urea. The kidneys remove unwanted substances such as urea‚ excess water and salt. © Boardworks Ltd 2009 What is urea? Excess amino acids in the body are broken down by the liver‚ producing a waste substance called urea. This process is important because it converts toxic ammonia to urea‚ which is done using carbon dioxide. Once formed‚ urea is transported by the circulatory system to the kidneys. The kidneys filter the blood‚ removing urea and excess water

PEPPERED MOTH SIMULATION LAB SANTIAGO JACOME THE VICTORIA SCHOOL BIOLOGY SL Data and Analysis Life Cycle of the Peppered Moth: Because their light wings are peppered with small dark spots. Predators of the peppered moth are flycatchers‚ nuthatches and the European robin. Larvae feed on the leaves of birch‚ willow‚ and oak trees. They change into pupae (cocoons) for the winter. They are given the name of carbonaria when black spots are present. Impact of Pollution: Near the centre of Manchester

Kidneys * Kidneys maintain the purity and constancy of our in internal fluids. Every day‚ the kidneys filter gallons of fluid from the bloodstream. They then process this filtrate‚ allowing wastes and excess ions to leave the body in urine while returning needed substances to the blood in just the right proportions. Kidneys also regulate the blood’s volume and chemical makeup so that the proper balance between water and salts and between acids and bases is maintained. * The Kidneys alone

Water Filtration There is a wide range of filtration methods currently being used all over the world. Some can be dangerous to handle and very reactive while others can be used in an any day household. Although no filtration method is perfect‚ combining different forms of filtration can provide near-perfect water. One note to take is that most of the time the more that is filtered‚ the pricier the method is. Three very effective methods of water filtration are “Ion Exchange”‚ UV light‚ and

The kidney as several roles as a homeostatic organ‚ one of the roles is the regulation of blood PH ‘the kidney excrete a variable amount of hydrogen ions into the urine and conserve bicarbonate ions’ (Principles of human anatomy) as these two activities help regulate the blood PH level.
