The Atom
Number of words: 1577 - Number of pages: 6.... and knowing from other experiment that what was
left when electrons were stripped away from an atom was much more massive
remainder that was positively charged, Thomson went on in the next decade to
develop a model of the atom that came to be called the "plum pudding" model.
The Thomson atom, "a number of negatively electrified corpuscles enclosed in a
sphere of uniform positive electrification" like raisins in a pudding, was a
hybrid: particulate electrons and diffuse remainder. It served the useful
purpose of demonstrating mathematically that electrons could be arranged in a
stable conf .....

Water And Its Importance
Number of words: 1880 - Number of pages: 7.... many other liquids. Its thermal and transparent properties protect aquatic life in freezing temperatures. All of these things combined help to sustain life and keep it constantly evolving. In the next couple of pages, we are going to go into detail of how it does this.
Water consists of two hydrogen atoms that are joined to one oxygen atom by covalent bonds. These bonds are polar bonds. The partial charges on different parts of water molecules produce weak attractive forces called hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen bonds are formed between the hydrogen of one water molecule and the oxygen of o .....

Acne
Number of words: 688 - Number of pages: 3.... Once a pimple in noticed, don't squeeze or scratch at it. This will help illuminate the spread of more pimples and scarring. Your hands carry many bacteria that will help to spread infection. This is not a good thing to do (Facts 2).
When using cosmetics it is best to stay away from nonwater-based products and products that are rich in oils. These cosmetics will block the pores
and trap the oils deep inside the skin, causing pimples. When washing your face be gentle. Do not wash with a dry soap or a soap high with pH. They will cause the skin to be very irritated. Dry the face w .....

Alcoholism 3
Number of words: 1209 - Number of pages: 5.... alcohol will enter the bloodstream. The amount and type of food in the stomach also affect the absorption rate. Drinking when the stomach is filled is less intoxicating than when it is empty; the foods in the stomach, which contain fat and protein, delay alcohol absorption. Body weight is also a factor; the heavier the person, the slower the absorption of alcohol. After alcohol passes through the stomach, it is rapidly absorbed through the walls of the intestines into the bloodstream and carried to the various organ systems of the body, where it is metabolized. Although small amounts of alc .....

Lamarck's Influence On The Development Of Darwin's Theory Of Evolution
Number of words: 1954 - Number of pages: 8.... the first man whose conclusions on evolution brought about
excitement and attention. He was the one who showed law in organic and inorganic
species evolution. As it turned out, the work of Lamarck was quite influential
on Darwin. Lamarck's views on inheritance of characteristics can be seen in
Darwin's accounts of natural selection. When Lamarck wrote of transmutation,
Darwin followed with his beliefs of the mutability of species. As well, Darwin
had used Lamarck's ideas on use and disuse of organs. Lamarck was not the
greatest of influences on Darwin, but he was an important one.

Breast Cancer 2
Number of words: 532 - Number of pages: 2.... steroids without GnRH being released, low doses of Provera are not effective. For the body to produce steroid hormones it must convert cholesterol into estrogens and other related substances. In order for this process to take place, several steps are involved which are controlled by a certain enzyme. In knowing this, Lee wanted to find out if blocking the action of an enzyme would be reached with high doses of Provera.
What Lee and Auchus found out was that Provera could inhibit certain enzymes, (3HSDII) which influence hormone production, that low doses of Provera could disrupt GnRH .....

Animal Uses

The animal would be strapped down and the "product" would be dropped into the eyes. After irritation came pain, after pain came ulceration and bleeding, blindness would follow. Other tests would include "forcing hair dye or face powder into a dog or rat through a stomach tube until its internal organs rupture." It really makes no sense that people can still be for animal testing when one can look at a case like this and just simply wonder.

A Beginning And End

because the days are becoming longer now. As I walk and explore this new
morning, I cannot help but notice the activity that surrounds me. Gardens are
being tilled and planted for the ground is warm and will soon break with sprouts
of future bounty. Butterflies of every color are seen flittering and fluttering,
while insects of all kinds are heard buzzing and humming. Butterfly and insects
eagerly emerge from their winter homes intent on the tasks which lie ahead. The
landscape is a palette of every shade of green imagineable. Befor .....

From Water To Land
Number of words: 1191 - Number of pages: 5.... the most primitive tetrapod. It is very close to its fish ancestry, but still anatomically far from its terrestrial relatives. These creatures still lived in water, but they had a lot of the terrestrial tetrapod anatomical characteristics.
Introduction:
Before tetrapods existed, all vertebrates were confined to living in aquatic habitats. The only animals that lived on land were arthropods. Through natural adaptations, the fish developed into amphibians. This colossal stage of change made necessary the evolution of new ways of breathing, locomotion, and reproduction. Paleontologists n .....
