Aesthetics is the study of the mind and emotions in relation to the sense of beauty. This philosophy is very well explained in Virginia Postrel¡¯s essay‚ ¡°Surface and Substance¡±. In the essay‚ Postrel challenges the separation of surface and substance with examples of acts of consumptions‚ which she describes as an engagement with beauty. There are many reasons that drive people towards consumptions. It is important to be socially accepted‚ even if it requires changing the way one looks. Some

which came from the potato juice. The function of an enzyme is to catalyze reactions in cells. The specific function of the enzyme in this experiment was to see if it affected the activity if it was exposed to different temperatures. A substrate is a material or substance which the enzyme acts. The substrate in our lab was hydrogen peroxide. Procedure For our experiment we used‚ three test tubes‚ nine milliliters of potato

 IMAGE GOES HERE Image Source Most people have held ice cubes in their hands. What happens to an ice cube that we hold? What do we feel? After a while‚ our hands will feel cold as the ice cubes start to melt. This is due to the transfer of energy from our hands to the ice and the temperature difference between the two objects. The energy we are familiar with is called heat while temperature is the measure of a degree of heat or coldness of an object. In everyday life‚ heat or cold is commonly

are catalysts that speed up chemical reaction but are not themselves consumed or changed by the reaction. The cell’s biological catalysts are proteins. Proteins are made up of one or more polypeptide chains that are folded to make an active site‚ an area in which a material to be acted on by the enzyme‚ called the substrate‚ will fit. The temperature‚pH‚ the concentration of enzyme‚ and the concentration of substrate all affect the activity of the enzyme and the rate of the reaction. The browning

even though the poet and his mother are having a good time peeling potatoes‚ his mother is ill and they are brought to their senses that the happy times will soon be brought to an end. 2. The potato is an important symbol in Ireland because of its value as a food staple and reminder of the terrible potato famine in the 19th century. What personal symbolic value does it have in this poem? In this poem the potatoe is a symbol of time shared with the poets mother‚ time when it is just him and his

There is a salient relationship between aesthetic pleasure and the individual. Virginia Postrel’s essay "Surface and Substance" argues that society must accept "that aesthetic pleasure is an autonomous good (Postrel 436)." Society as a whole must refrain from holding those with aesthetic preferences in low regards. Individual’s presentations of himself or herself define his or her own form‚ therefore expressing their character. The perceived significance of aesthetics and individualism indicates

Potato Enzyme Lab Enzymes are protein catalysts that speed up chemical reaction in living organisms. The purpose of this lab was to; observe the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide toxin by potato’s enzyme catalase‚ determine factors that influence how quickly the reaction takes place‚ and determine factors that influence how well enzymes function. The first test‚ we were supposed to see what would happen when we add sand in hydrogen peroxide. We filled a test tube with 5mL hydrogen peroxide and we added
