First Law of Thermodynamics The first law of thermodynamics states that the energy cannot be created nor destroyed it can only be changed from one form to another. Another name for this law is the law of conservation of energy. This means that the total energy of a system plus its surroundings is constant and does not change. Energy can‚ however‚ be transferred in or out of the system and to or from the surroundings through work or heat. Conservation of Energy Energy may be defined as the

Introduction Have you thought about installing a home security system‚ but put it off because you don’t think you really need one? Well‚ before you put it off any longer‚ you may want to consider these facts: In 2010‚ there were more than two million home burglaries in the United States‚ over 70 percent of which took place in residential homes‚ reports the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Victims of these burglaries claimed an estimated $4.6 billion in lost property‚ and the average dollar

“DNA Fingerprinting” Homework Assignment (10 points) Question 1 A schematic of the vector p7012 is shown. The restriction enzymes listed cut only where indicated; they do not cut anywhere else in the vector or insert. a) A schematic of gene W is below. You want to clone all of gene W DNA into the p7012 vector. Give three different strategies that you could use to clone gene W into p7012‚ and obtain colonies that contain a recombinant plasmid. * Strategy 1 uses the restriction enzyme(s)
