CHAPTER 4 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION 4.0 Arduino: The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller based on the ATmega328. It has 14 digital input/output pins in which 6 can be used as PWM‚ 6 analog inputs‚ a 16 MHz ceramic resonator‚ a USB port‚ a power jack‚ an ICSP header‚ and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.[11] The Uno differs from all preceding boards in

more Americans are becoming worried about the use of Genetically Modified Organisms in their food. The controversy of the use of GMOs in food can be understood through examining how they work‚ their disadvantages‚ and their advantages. Farming has transformed so much over the years. Six thousand years ago‚ farmers had holding pens and growing fields (Shmaefsky 1). In today’s world‚ farming is not that simple. Since farming has transformed‚ larger operations are taking away a lot of the mom and pop

Set Operations and Venn Diagrams " Please respond to the following: QUES: Create a story problem that demonstrates how a Venn diagram could be used to illustrate combined operation with sets. ANS: Use a Venn diagram to illustrate the following scenario: There are 40 people in a drum corp. Of the 40 people‚ 20 play the snare drum; 10 play the trumpet; 5 plays the cymbals. There are 5 people that play both the snare drum and cymbals; and 3 play all three instruments. How many people don’t play

Purpose: To find how pH and temperature levels affect the enzyme Background: Enzymes are a type of protein vital to sustaining life‚ it works with vitamins and minerals as a biological catalyst‚ which lowers the activation energy for a reaction to occur. Each individual type of enzyme does a specific job‚ and they do not die‚ they are reused. For example‚ catalase is an enzyme found in almost all living cells that will break down hydrogen peroxide and turn it into water and oxygen. The

Designer Babies The first batch of genetically modified babies were created in 2001. Out of the 30 babies that were born‚ 15 were found to have DNA from three different adults. Although having DNA from more than two sources can occur naturally‚ these 15 babies were created with a method called “cytoplasmic transfer‚” which had been banned by the FDA . The method was initially developed to save female eggs that had been difficult to fertilize and was showing much promise—until tracking the growth

Venn Diagram Paper Tariek McLeish MTH/156 University of Phoenix Jennifer Durost December 21‚ 2014 The Venn Diagrams was invented by Jon Venn as a way of visualizing the relationship between different groups (Purplemath‚ 2014). Venn Diagrams are an important learning tactic that helps students to learn how to graphically establish and compare concepts. They are often used in English lessons‚ and its effect is often undermined in the mathematics classroom. They are extremely valuable

Genetically Modified Organisms The Human genome is known to be the sequencing of about twenty thousand five hundred thousand genes that make up our human DNA‚ or the building block that tells our cells what to do. The government created project that is named the Human Genome Project started in 1990’s‚ and is trying to pick apart at the three billion chemical base pairs in a DNA strand. The full set of the information present in the form of the genes in living organism then forms its genome

How Organism Learn: Classical and Operant Conditioning There are two main explanations of how organisms learn. The first explanation is known as classical conditioning. The second explanation is known as operant conditioning. These two types of learning are exhibited in our everyday lives through our home‚ school‚ and school. Classical conditioning was discovered by Iran Petrovich Pavlov. He was originally a physiologist whose main focus was the digestive system (Gazzaniga 230).

Characteristics can help to classify organisms apart. I.e. we can tell that a mammal (human)‚ a fish is different by seeing that fishes live in water‚ humans live on land. Fishes breathe underwater by their gills while the mammals (humans) breathe oxygen with their lungs. Another example could be how reptiles and birds are different‚ the most obvious is where the birds have feathers and reptiles have rough skin with no feathers. The last example is where the amphibians are cold-blooded‚ lay eggs
