Part 7 The life cycle of a star How does gravity‚ nuclear fusion and mass affect the life cycle of a different sized stars? * Stars initially form from clouds of dust and gas. The force of gravity makes the gas and dust spiral in together to form a protostar. Gravitational energy has converted into heat energy‚ so the temperature rises * When the temperature gets high enough‚ hydrogen nucli undergo thermonuclear fusion to form helium nuclei and give out massive amounts of heat and light

Med Lab II May 23‚ 2013 Life cycle of an Erythrocyte There are a total of 20 to 30 trillion erythrocytes in the human body and to maintain the homeostasis about 2.5 million of those erythrocytes are destroyed and replace every second. The life cycle of an erythrocyte is 120 days. In the short lifetime the erythrocytes make an astonishing 75000 round trips between the lungs‚ heart and cells of the body. Erythrocytes do not possess a nucleus they are unable to repair or synthesize new cellular

in the stages of life. Butterfly is such an insect‚ which has a complete lifecycle consisting of four separate stages. In this paper‚ we will discuss the lifecycle of a butterfly in order to get an understanding of all stages of growth and development of a butterfly. Stages of Development A butterfly’s growth and development process is known as metamorphosis. There are four stages of development in the life of a butterfly. Each stage is unique and represents a different life structure of a butterfly

Toads tend to lay many many eggs because there are many hazards between fertalization and full grown frogness! Those eggs that die tend to turn white or opaque. The lucky ones that actually manage to hatch still start out on a journey of many perils. Life starts right as the central yolk splits in two. It then divides into four‚ then eight‚ etc.- until it looks a bit like a rasberry inside a jello cup. Soon‚ the embryo starts to look more and more like a tadpole‚ getting longer and moving about in it’s

Life cycle of a star Stars are born in nebulae. Huge clouds of dust and gas collapse under gravitational forces‚ forming protostars. These young stars undergo further collapse‚ forming main sequence stars. Stars expand as they grow old. As the core runs out of hydrogen and then helium‚ the core contacts and the outer layers expand‚ cool‚ and become less bright. This is a red giant or a red super giant (depending on the initial mass of the star). It will eventually collapse and explode. Its fate

Butterflies go through a life cycle. There are four stages. The first stage is the eggs. This is where a girl butterfly lays eggs. She lays them on a leaf. The second stage is the caterpillar. This is where the eggs hatch. It takes about five days for the eggs to hatch. A caterpillar then comes out. At this stage‚ the caterpillar eats all the time. It also grows really fast. Once it is all the way grown‚ the third stage starts. This stage is the chrysalis. The caterpillar makes a chrysalis. The caterpillar

Page 1 of 6 Life Cycle of Malaria Page 2 of 6 Malaria is an ancient disease transmitted by the Anopheles mosquito that predates recorded history. Historically it was common in the swampy areas around Rome‚ and was believed that the tainted air in those locations made people very sick‚ the disease was therefore named malaria for the Latin root words bad air. Malaria is caused by small parasitic protozoa of the genus Plasmodium which infects both humans and mosquitoes in a cyclical process.
