“The Space Between Stars” was written by Geeta Kothari. The short story is about an Indian Girl named Maya who immigrated to America at a young age. The story shows what she went threw growing up as a female immigrant and all the situations he had to overcome. Through out the story I learned that there are women who struggle to show how they feel and how brave and compassionate a woman can be. I already had a great appreciation for women because my mother raise me on her own for the first two years of my life. Reading this book only greatened my respect for women. I can never truly show how great this short story represents women but this is how the book helped me recognize the value of women in the world.

Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids are organic molecules found in every living organism. These macromolecules are large carbon based structures. The macromolecules are assembled by joining several smaller units, called monomers, together through a chemical reaction called dehydration synthesis. The resulting polymer can be disassembled through the complementary process called hydrolysis.Carbohydrates are made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms in a 1:2:1 ratio. This means that for every carbon atom present in the carbohydrate there are two hydrogen

N.T., a 72 year old female with a past medical history of hypertension, COPD hyperlipidemia, and hip surgery was diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis after the patient made a visit to the ER several days following a severe fall. A CMP was ordered which revealed elevated glucose, creatinine, BUN, CO2, and AST values. Also noted were decreased potassium and ALB values as well as severely elevated creatinine kinase levels.

The purpose of this lab was to use chemical and physical tests to identify indicators of disease in synthetic urine samples. This lab tested samples for protein levels, glucose levels, and pH levels. In a normally functioning individual, proteins cannot pass through the glomerulus; therefore proteins should not be found in urine. However, in the nephrons of individuals with Bright’s Disease, the glomerulus no longer stops all proteins from entering the urine (Giuseppe et al., 2002, pp. 357–358). Bright’s Disease is characterized by a change in the permeability of the glomerulus, which allows proteins to pass through and since the nephron has no way of reabsorbing proteins they are passed into the urine (Giuseppe et al., 2002,

During this experiment, mitochondria were isolated from 20.2 grams of cauliflower using extraction buffer, filtration through Miracloth, and centrifusion. Twelve samples containing various volumes of mitochondrial suspension, assay buffer, DCIP, sodium azide, and citric acid cycle intermediates were prepared to be read by a spectrophotometer. The inclusion of the dye DCIP allowed for the absorbance of the reactions between the mitochondrial suspension and the TCA cycle intermediates succinate, malonate, and oxalate to be measured, as DCIP turns from blue to colorless as the activity of succinate dehydrogenase increases.

Mr. Peyser is a 63-year-old male here today with his friend and caregiver, Joyce to follow up on some laboratory studies, as well as a recent hospitalization and alcohol issue.

Genetic Mutations “The changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form which may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes or chromosomes” (Oxford Dictionary). Genetic mutations effect people

In Bryan E. Penprase’s chapter one of The Power of Stars, Penprase talks about many features of the sky that we admire every day. The general theme of this chapter in my opinion is the relevance astronomy has in our everyday lives, and how it’s been that way since the ancient times. Each culture has their own interpretation of what the sky means whether it come to festival planning, farming, harvesting, and even religious means. The ancient Indians had their lives planned around the alignment of the stars. This is something that is still around today. For example, when I was in Thailand this past summer, I was able to watch a wedding on the beach as I ate dinner. Supposedly that night, there was a special alignment of the moon and stars

The molarity of sucrose is the amount of sucrose, ergo, each solution had different amounts of sucrose, the solute to this solution. As the amount of sucrose increased, the amount of water decreased. To have more of a solute, there must be less of a solvent, as the milliliters of the solutions tested remained the same. An increased molarity of sucrose led to an increased net diffusion of water into the cell, a greater mass change, because water potential of the cell decreased as sucrose increased. From these masses, a percent of mass change was calculated: final minus the initial, all divided by the initial. When the percents were ordered from least to greatest, the molarity of each solution can be deduced, as those with the least change had a molarity closest to zero and those with the most change had a molarity that was the highest. This is due to the fact that if they had 0.0M of solute, they are isotonic and should have no net diffusion of water in a single direction. If they have higher concentrations of sucrose, the water potentials are no longer equal and to decrease entropy of the system, water must diffuse to achieve equilibrium. In this way, it was deduced that Solution B is 0.0M, Solution D is 0.2M, Solution F is 0.4M, Solution A is 0.6M, Solution E is 0.8M, and Solution C is 1.0M. The graph seconded this data by portraying an almost constant

Porter five forces analysis is a framework to analyze the level of competition within an industry and business (Wikipedia). Taking Talladega College for example as an industry. The five forces are as followed: buyers the current students, suppliers the alumni and investors, new entries the community college CACC, substitute the online classes and the fast track, and competition the PWI’s and other HBCU’s. The current students are the buyers because they are paying to attend Talladega College, parents are paying out of pocket while others use financial aid and scholarship and loans. Without the students, the college wouldn’t be able to provide the service of a higher education in return for revenue, Talladega College main objective is to provide higher education for future leaders.

Background-This experiment involves the process of osmosis. Osmosis is the special movement of water, generally in a cell. In this experiment, the cell is represented by the egg in the center of the beaker. The concept of osmosis is water moving through a cell membrane without energy, and flowing with the concentration gradient. Osmosis

Dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine are a group of neurotransmitters called catecholamines. Catecholamines are synthesized from tyrosine, an amino acid (1). Structurally, “they all have an amino group (—NH2—NH2) and a catechol ring composed of six carbons and two adjacent hydroxyl (—OH—OH) groups” (1). These catecholamines, “may cause either excitation or inhibition, depending on the type of metabotropic receptor at the synapse” (1). Norepinephrine is produced in the adrenal glands and “plays roles in arousal (awakening from deep sleep), dreaming, and regulating mood. A smaller number of neurons in the brain use epinephrine as a neurotransmitter” (1). Dopamine is responsible for our emotional responses, pleasure

The following analysis is a comparison between data of Denmark and data of OECD countries. So we can get a brief view of what the situation is in Denmark, because OECD countries data are more accessible than that of Denmark. OECD data show that “the average household net-adjusted disposable income per capita is 19,481 euro per annum”, more than the average income of OECD countries (18526 euro). Even though Denmark enjoys the world’s least unequal in income level, there is still a big wealth gap. To be more specific, OECD explains that “the top 20 percent of the Danes make around four times as much as the bottom 20 percent”, and on average in OECD countries, the estimated “income of the top 20% of the population is 35,303 euro per year”. For

It justifies the idea that increasing the concentration of sucrose does in fact speed up the rate of osmosis, an therefore increase the mass of the Visking tube. This happens due to the water molecules moving from a high water concentration to a low water concentration. Another reason why this hypothesis is correct is because sucrose particles are too large to go through the membrane therefore the sucrose does not diffuse into the water. According to the mean graph there is a clear outline that indicates constant acceleration, which justifies that the increase of the independent variable affects the dependent

Everyone likes to stay fit and healthy, but not everyone is. Staying healthy is important to ensure a happy life without worries about the health as it helps the human steers clear of diseases. Additionally, at these times, high proportions of people are suffering from obesity, which is being overweight and unhealthy. To be healthy, it is necessary to know how to, so there are three main tips that people have to follow in order to stay healthy.
