The Dog

hunters and scavengers. This means that they are secondary consumers in web
chains. Eventhough they are carnivores they sometimes accept eating green plants.
The ecology of dogs right know is that it helps the human in many fields of life.
Since the cave dweller times, dogs have been domesticated by humans and it has
helped him to hunt, in herding, protection, etc. It has been very important as a
work animal and as a psychological support for humans. The habitat of the dog is
where it’s owner lives. Different dogs have different adaptations to their
ancestral habitat but nowadays, this is not applicable.

Acid Rain

The smoke and fumes from burning fossil fuels rise into the atmosphere and combine with the moisture in the air to form . The main chemicals in air pollution that creates are sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. usually forms high in the clouds where sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides react with water, oxygen, and oxidants. This forms a mild solution of sulfuric acid and nitric acid. Sunlight increases the rate of most of these reactions. Rainwater, snow, fog, and other forms .....

The Human Cloning Controversy
<view this essay>.... gave the people the idea that human clones would be mindless zombies, Frankenstein monsters, or 'doubles.' This is all nonsense. Human clones would be human beings like you and me . . . They would be carried and delivered after nine months by a human mother . . . Consequently, a clone twin will be [years] younger than the original person. (1)
Whether or not scientists should or should not clone humans is a tough question to answer. Legally, are scientists able to make clones? The answer is no. Should scientists be able to make a headless human? (body parts) Yes, as long as no law exists banning headless humans. Before going into this .....

The Atom
<view this essay>.... of matter and identical regardless of the kind of matter
they were born from, it followed that they must be some basic constituent part
of matter, and if they were a part, then there must be a whole. The real,
physical electron implied a real, physical atom: the particulate theory of
matter was therefore justified for the first time convincingly by physical
experiment. They sang success at the annual Cavendish dinner.
Armed with the electron, 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 .....

Kevlar
<view this essay>.... this could only be done by mechanically drawn in after spinning. This required chain disentanglement and orientation in the solid phase of it. Therefore the strength and modulus levels were far lower than theoretically possible values.
In 1965, scientists at Du Pont discovered a new method of producing an almost perfect polymer chain extension. The polymer poly-p-benzamide was found to form liquid crystalline solutions due to the repetitiveness of its molecular backbone. The key for the structural requirement for the backbone is para orientation on the benzene ring, which allowed for rod-like molecular structures. This technology was used when Du P .....

Buoyant Forces

newtons. Then next step was to measure the apparent weight of the cylinder when
it is completely submerged in a bath of water using the formula Wa=ma*g , this
was found to be 88.5grams. Knowing these two numbers, the bouyant force that
the water places on the object can be calculated using the formula Fb=W-Wa ,
Wa=.8673n W=.98n Fb=.1127n
Part 2 of this lab consisted of weighing an empty cup, which was 44grams.
And then filling another cup up to a certain point the if any more water was
added, it would spill out of a little opening in the cup, the water spilled out
could be caught in the first cup. This is done so that the water s .....

Energy wise, the Earth had plenty from a variey of sources Radiation: from the cosmic and radioactive isotope decays UV light: there were no protective ozone layer and thus immense heat. Electrical discharge from the never ending lightning caused chemical reactions to occur very often and there was also another source of heat from the young earth crust which was volcanically active.
For most chemical r .....

The Prairie
<view this essay>.... in the ecoysystem that adapts well is grass which
withstands grazing animals and occasional fires.
Producer: An autotroph organism (grass). Consumer: Organism that eats producers
(caterpillars, bison). Primary consumer: Organisms that eat consumers (chicken,
meadowlark). Secondary consumers: Organisms that eatprimary consumers (praire
felcon, eagle). Decomposers: Organisms that uses nutrients from dead plants and
animals, it starts the chain over (bacteria).
Say that an organism was removed from the web, such as a caterpillar.
Though it's not the only grass eating organism it would still mess up the web.
Say you put the bison in its place, that part would .....
