Sypharochiton pelliserpentis S. pelliserpentis has a dorsal shell that is made up of eight shell parts known as valves. These eight valves are bound together by a girdle which is strong and flexible and circles the valves. This particular species of chiton has its plate overlapping to resemble snake’s skin, thus, being colloquially referred to as the snakeskin chiton. The valves of S. pelliserpentis are very hard and allows the chiton to lay flat against a rocky surface. S. pelliserpentis has many
Holiday baking season is almost here. Are you worried about not having an oven to bake with? Have you recently moved from a city home to a country cabin, and there is no more flick of the switch lights, no more thermostatic heat, and no oven to bake? Luckily, there is more than one way to make your favorite "baked" goods such as your cookies, biscuits, and brownies. However, the cake texture may not be similar to those you make in the oven. But it definitely turns out moist and good enough to gratify
Cell Respiration Lab Research Question What is the optimal temperature for germinating pea-seeds where the rate of respiration is the greatest? Background Information Cell Respiration refers to the biochemical process conducted by the cells of an organism that combines glucose and oxygen to produce energy in the form of ATP, along with two by-products, water and carbon dioxide. The equation representing this chemical reaction is shown below. C6H12O6 + 6 O2 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ATP Although plants and
Trehalose is a bisacetal, non-reducing homo-disaccharide in which two glucose units are linked together via a α-1,1-glycosidic bond, often considered the gold standard for cryoprotection [92, 114]. It is commonly found amongst organisms capable of withstanding extreme drought and cold in nature e.g. water bear and yeast, whereas mammalian cells unfortunately lack the mechanism to synthesise trehalose endogenously [115]. The ability of trehalose to produce a better cyroprotective effect in terms of
Murder and a Meal: An Organic Compounds Lab Problem: Based on the contents of the victim's stomach, where did he eat his final meal? Background Information: A macromolecule is a molecule that contains a large number of atoms, such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates or lipids. Macromolecules are formed by a process known as polymerization in which large compounds are built by the joining of smaller one together. The smaller units are known as monomers and monomers together form polymers
one carbon atom, two hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. are made of simple sugars, and are put into three categories. These categories are monosaccharides, which are made of one sugar molecule, disaccharides, made of two sugar molecules, and polysaccharides, made of more than two sugar molecules. Lipids are made of triglycerides, molecules made of one glycerol, and three fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds in their molecular structure, and unsaturated fatty acids include double
Eggless Chocolate Cupcakes - A recent addition to my pressure cooker baking list. To be more specific, I have made these eggless chocolate cupcakes in my pressure cooker without oven. You can follow the same recipe and bake in your oven. Eggless cupcakes I made my first frosting when I tried these egg free chocolate cupcakes. I was very happy with the results. There may be many of you who wants to make cupcakes in cooker for so many reasons. It is an awesome feeling to see the cupcakes beautifully
variables to help identify different macromolecules. Biological systems are made up of these four major macromolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. Carbohydrates are sugar molecules (monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides) which make them the most abundant macromolecule on the earth. Lipids (oils and fats, phospholipids and steroids) are insoluble in water and perform many functions such as energy source, essential nutrients, hormones and insulators (Lehman, 1955)

“The use of vaccines has greatly reduced the morbidity and mortality attributable to several childhood diseases. Childhood vaccinations remain some of the most favorable and cost-effective prevention strategies available,” states Matthew Davis, the Chief of Academic General Pediatrics and Primary Care in the Department of Pediatrics at Northwestern Medicine, in a 2002 research study done in many different countries (Davis et al. 1982). Childhood vaccinations have allowed the world to be where it
Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AIWS) When you hear the Alice in Wonderland Syndrome I am sure that the first thing that will spring up in your mind is the famous adventure novel Alice in Wonderland. However, I will not be talking about a common disease such as the cold or flu, nor will I talk about dangerous diseases such as aids and cancer. Instead, I will talk about a strange disease that you probably do not know exists. Todd’s syndrome, also known as the Alice in Wonderland

In the 1950’s a wonder drug named thalidomide was released before being tested on any living organisms. It was later found the drug was not good for people after 10,000 children were born with missing limbs and malformations (Hajar,2011). over the years laws have been made so that a drug must go through many forms of testing to prove that it is safe for human consumption. The most common way to test whether a drug or substance is useful to humanity is animal testing. For many decades people have
