having in our environment today. A major problem is that of CFCs. CFC
stands for Chlorofluorocarbons which are found in many of the aerosol spray
cans. In D .....

Biological Effects Of Radiation
Number of words: 610 - Number of pages: 3.... ability of the cell to reproduce and, thus, survive. If enough atoms are affected in such a way that the chromosomes do not replicate properly, or there is a significant alteration in the information carried by the DNA molecule, then the cell may be destroyed by “direct” interference with its life-sustaining system.
Indirect effects are caused by the reaction of radiation with the water that makes up the majority of the cells volume. When radiation interacts with water, it may break the bonds that hold the water molecule together. This produces fragments of hydrogen and hydroxyls. T .....

The Measurement Of Gas Exchange In Blue Gouramis
Number of words: 2843 - Number of pages: 11.... amounts of oxygen arise for aquatic organisms---namely fish.
Fishes have had to develop adaptations that enabled them to adapt to this problem. Since water contains an insufficient concentration of oxygen, fishes use gills to obtain the required amount of oxygen---via the counter-current exchange process. As water enters the mouth of a fish, it passes through slits in the pharynx, flows over the gills, and exits at the back of the operculum (gill cover) (Campbell 1997). This ventilation process serves to bring in a fresh supply of oxygen to the fish and removes carbon dioxide expel .....

Muscles In The Human Body
Number of words: 859 - Number of pages: 4.... The muscle contractions produce and provide some heat needed in the body.
Skeletal muscle tissue is made up of smaller fibers called myofibrils. These myofibrils are composed of even smaller protein filaments. These filaments can be either thick or thin. The thick filaments are made of the protein myosin, and the thin filaments are made of the protein actin. The arrangement of the myosin and actin gives skeletal muscle its striated (or striped) appearance.
Each section of a myofibril is called a sarcomere, and is the functional unit of muscle.
How muscles contract is directly related .....

Blood Doping
Number of words: 809 - Number of pages: 3.... muscle tissue, which can cause muscle sourness that, usually, is felt after a hard or long workout. Fatigue usually sets in with the onset of lactic acid production. Oxygen is carried to the muscle by two delivery systems. Three percent of oxygen is carried in plasma and ninety-seven percent is in hemoglobin, the principal protein in erythrocytes (red blood cells). If hemoglobin amounts are increased, this will lead to increased oxygen levels that can be transported to the muscles. Allowing the muscles to become more fatigue resistant.
could have opposite effect of those intended. A .....

Number of words: 351 - Number of pages: 2.... blend of lights of many colors - as we can prove for ourselves by passing

and that the different colors of light are produced by waves of different
lengths, red light by long waves and blue light by short waves. The
mixture of waves which constitutes sunlight has to struggle through the
obstacles it meets in the atmosphere, just as the mizture of waves at the
seaside has to struggl .....
