chemical bond energy of carbohydrate which is utilized as cellular energy, plant
growth and development. Water, carbon dioxide, nutrients and minerals are also

Crystals: Does Surface Tension Affect The Process Of Crystallization?
Words: 1915 / Pages: 7 .... in crystals and the science
associated with crystals. Though one knows that certain conditions must be
present in order for crystals to form; and if some of these conditions are
not present or are not perfect, then the formation of the crystal will be
disturbed. One may ask him/herself, how is the formation disturbed if only
one of the condition would happen to be modified? Most crystals are formed
under water or under liquids with similar characters to water; and tend to
form under liquids or solutions containing a maximum amount of solute. If
the liquid absorbs additional solute, then the solution is supersaturated.
If a tiny crystal, .....

Human Evolution In Africa
Words: 829 / Pages: 4 .... Eurasia then was covered in tropical forests. Primates evolved in what is now the Indian Subcontinent.
From their placement in India, then still lowland, primates spread throughout the world once more. Some returned to North America, only to be wiped out by rodents already living there. Others spread to Europe and the Middle East.
By this time, Africa had just split from marsupial overrun Gondwanaland. About a million years later it reached the Middle East, and primates moved in. By now the world had cooled enough that the primates in Europe had been decimated to near extinction. They also migrated south, for the Mediterranean Sea was at that t .....

Words: 430 / Pages: 2 .... on the surface of the eye. It's to do with the larger vessels
All I had to do was take a person into a dark room with my flashlight.

I held the flashlight up towards the ceiling under their right eye, but they
kept looking at the floor, not the light.
RESULTS
I am writing down what everyone recorded for me. I am first:
JOSH: I could see black blood vessels with orange in the background...it looked
like a lot of dead tree.
BRENDA: The blood vessels resembled jagged lighting bolts or trees in the winter
time.
LAURA: I saw crooked lines that didn't stand st .....

Mononucleosis 3
Words: 1912 / Pages: 7 .... between the ages of 15 and 30. Both men and women are affected, but studies suggest that the disease occurs slightly more often in men than in women. Doctors estimate that each year 50 out of every 100,000 Americans have mononucleosis symptoms. Among college students, the rate is several times higher. Mononucleosis does not occur in any particular "season," although authorities in colleges and schools, where the disease has been well studied, report that they see most patients in the fall and early spring. Epidemics do not occur, but doctors have reported clustering of cases. Transmission: EBV, the virus that causes most cases of mononucleosis, infec .....

Mechanical Energy
Words: 491 / Pages: 2 .... energy as heat.
We recognize this process as burning. The individual relies on food for
fuel which contains energy-giving substances that our bodies can store
until we need this energy to use our muscles. When we do use our muscles
within us, we may not always be sure that heat is given off. Our bodies
do not burst into flames but the perspiration on our skin is a clue to
what is happening.
The movement of the windsurfer has a different explanation.
The windsurfer is propelled along by a sail which collects mechanical
energy from the winds that sweep along the water. This energy has been
produced by the sun which warms the earth's surface an .....

Consciousness As Determined Through The Times
Words: 1041 / Pages: 4 .... physical world. Others deferred that the conscious mind was what separated man from lower forms of life. It is an attribute characterized by sensation and voluntary movement which described the difference between normal waking state of animals and men and their condition when asleep.2 Other descriptions included an analysis of consciousness as a form of relationship or act of the mind toward objects in nature, and a view that consciousness was a continuous field or stream of essentially mental "sense data."

Cloning Of Animals
Words: 508 / Pages: 2 .... to perform its specific function of life. All efforts
to reactivate the shut-off genes have failed. English researchers have came the
closest by teasing frog body cells to develop into tadpoles. The tadpoles,
however, never matured into frogs.
The Scottish researchers have failed many times with sheep cells before
their success, but the task was perfected and accomplished. Now this
accomplishment has made it possible for the cloning of almost any mammal,
including humans.
To the average person, exactly how the technique works is unclear.
Scientist predicted that by making cells dormant and bringing them close to
death, something happens to br .....

Plants advertise themselves to who they want to be pollinated by. For instance, some plants such as the honeysuckle and tobacco only give off their potent scent at night, when other plants are .....
