depleting substances such as CFCs, also known as Chlorofluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, and perfluorocarbons. These gases are generated a number of human activities such as fossil fuel combustion, waste disposal in landfills, the
use of a refrigerator, numerous agricultural and industrial activities, and the cutting down of numerous forests.
These human practices have already changed t .....

make sure it is the chicken pox and not something much
worse. The physician can easily make a diagnosis by
checking the basic symptoms. Chicken pox is controlled by keeping the infected
person and anything the infected person has come in

The Depletion Of Ozone Layer
Words: 2615 / Pages: 10 .... surface, to the stratosphere. Air in the stratosphere absorbs solar energy, or heat from the sun, which in turn creates a photochemical reaction that produces ozone – a benefit to the environment since ozone protects people, plants, and animals from harmful radiation.
The ozone layer is important because it absorbs most of the damaging ultra-violet radiation from the sun before it reaches ground level, where it can cause sun burn, skin cancer and cataracts. Research suggests that any additional UV-B (ultra-violet radiation) at ground level could depress our bodies’ immune systems, damage the natural food chain and reduce crop yields. Although o .....

Black Holes 3
Words: 1072 / Pages: 4 .... “used up” all of its nuclear fuel and then collapses under its own gravitational force. This happens because, as a star burns fuel, it creates an outward push, which counteracts the inward pull of gravity. Once the fuel is gone, the internal pressure of the star drops and it can no longer support its own weight. In a monstrous explosion, the outer layers are thrown off. And, at this same moment, the core collapses. This can happen rather quickly because gravity can crush an object 10,000 miles across to an object only 10 miles across in about one second.
During the time that a black hole is created, the star shrinks down to an infinitely smal .....

Creation Or Evolution?
Words: 685 / Pages: 3 .... are also called literal creationists, because they interpret the two Genesis accounts of creation in the Bible literally and believe that the Bible is without error. They believe that the "day" mentioned in Genesis 1 signifies a normal 24 hour day. According to this creation the universe was established in six days. Biblical creationists interpret most sedimentary rocks as products of Noah's flood. The majority believes that the earth is under 10,000 years of age. Some believe 4004 BC was the year of creation.
The person who proposed the methods by which natural processes cause the evolution of the species was Charles Darwin. He used natural se .....

Digestive System
Words: 1451 / Pages: 6 .... waterways to their destinations, the alimentary canal guides food as it travels through the human body. The whole canal is lined with a mucous membrane.
Digestion begins in the mouth. Here the food is cut and chopped by the teeth. The tongue helps mix the food particles with a digestive juice called saliva, which is secreted in the mouth. Saliva moistens the food so it can be swallowed easily. It also changes some starches into simple sugars.
It is important to chew food thoroughly to mix it well with saliva. Thorough chewing cuts food into small pieces that are more easily attacked by digestive juices. Food should not be washed down with quant .....

Chromosome Probes At The University Of Toronto
Words: 726 / Pages: 3 .... negotiating with an American company to develop
prenatal diagnostic tests, which, because the current tests are time
consuming and technically difficult to do, are restricted to women over 35
and those who have a family history of chromosomal abnormalities. Prenatal
tests using Willard's probes would be much simpler and faster to perform
and could be available to all pregnant women who wish to take advantage of
the technology.
Current prenatal testing involves growing fetal cells in vitro and
examining them, over one or two months, to see if there are two copies of
a particular chromosome, which is normal, or one or three, which is
abnormal. A test .....

Vertebrate Adaptions For Terrestrial Life
Words: 624 / Pages: 3 .... aquatic animals, the circulatory system removes oxygen, and delivers
waste carbon dioxide. Land vertebrates have developed a different approach to
the problem of gas exchange, as water is not present in all of the terrestrial
environment. Terrestrial vertebrates have developed lungs to solve this problem.
Air enters through the nasal passages, or the mouth, passes through the trachea,
then branches off at the two bronchi, and goes through many branching passages
called bronchioles, which end in alveoli. Alveoli are sack-like structures where
the circulatory system meets the respiratory system.
Since terrestrial vertebrates do not live in water, they .....
