Epithelia form the surface of the skin‚ line the various cavities and tubes of the body‚ and cover the internal organs. Subsets of Epithelia Epithelia that form the interface between the internal and external environments. Skin as well as the lining of the mouth and nasal cavity. These are derived from ectoderm.

Research Question: What is the effect of calcium in different concentrations on lima bean growth? Personal Engagement: For my internal assessment‚ I chose calcium because it interested me how adding a certain nutrient or element‚ can aid in growth of an organism. Calcium is a vital nutrient needed by most organisms and can be found in many things we consume like milk. Knowing that calcium helps keep humans healthy and have stronger bones‚ I wanted to experiment how calcium might aid in the growth

Abstract: The Preservative effect of brine at different concentrations on lettuce at tropical ambient temperature was examined. The effect of various concentrations of salt solutions on leaf surface and edge browning‚ texture‚ and colour were observed for five days. The experiment was laid out in a Complete Randomized Design (CRD) and each treatment repeated in triplicates including a control. Sensory qualities were examined by six panelists using a 5-point hedonic scale ranking. Results indicated

Capillary action works by relying on the adhesive properties of water. Because the polarity of the capillary walls attracts water molecules‚ water sticks to the sides of the tube‚ therefore‚ causing the water to move up the tube. Cohesion-tension or transpiration pull works by the water from the leaves being evaporated caused by the heat of the sun. This then causes a change in pressure which moves the water up from the

GLOBALWARMING: NATURAL OR MANMADE? ------------------------------------------------- Saloni Gupta (Civil engineering Dept.‚ MediCaps Institute of Science and Technology) ABSTRACT: The ‘Mother Earth’ has been cooling for the last decade. Poles of the planet are gaining about as much ice as they are losing. It is worth mentioning that since past 420‚000 years‚ Earth’s atmospheric temperature is changing even before carbon dioxide emission by humans. There is no scientific evidence to back claims

Introduction: Global warming is gradually becoming a serious concern to our environment and our planet as a whole. Nature is now showing signs with unique changes affecting our lives. When the surface temperature of the earth heats up human beings are not the only ones who feel the changes and also react in some way. Animals and sometimes even plants will also be affected by the global warming. What is global warming: An overall warming of the planet based on average temperature over the entire

A tropical rainforest is an ecosystem that occurs roughly within 28 degrees north or south of the equator (equatorial zone between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn). They are characterised by their humidity (average of 88% in the rainy season and 77% in the dry season)‚ hot temperature (average 27.9 °C during the dry season and 25.8 °C during the rainy season) but more importantly their extremely high rainfall (torrential rainfall - between 1‚500 mm and 3‚000 mm annually).
