Figure 1. Average Mass Specific Surface Area for Three Fish. Error bars represent standard deviation from the mean. The graph represents the mass specific gill surface area for a sample size of 6 gill arches for each of the 4 lab sections (n=24). For Mackerel‚ the mass specific gill surface area was 13.62 cm2/kg. For Whiting‚ this value was 9.34 cm2/kg. Lastly‚ for flounder this value was 2.93 cm2/kg. Results: The three different species of fish‚ Mackerel‚ Whiting‚ and Flounder‚ have distinct

Q3 What are the difficulties in measuring GDP? A region’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is one of several measures of the size of its economy. The GDP of a country is defined as the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. It’s also considered the sum of value added at every stage of production of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. The two terms GDP and GNP are almost identical. If consumer

A Kindness Cup: Essay Question 1 Disagreements arise when the representation of characters and who they really are clash. A Kindness Cup written by Australian author Thea Astley is a prime example of how this can take effect. Three of the most prominent characters all undergo this occurrence. For example‚ the never ending guilt of Mr. Dorahy‚ the need for redemption faced by Mr. Boyed and silent morning of Mr. Lunt. Eventually the horror of not conforming can lead you misfortunes if revealed.
