Chlamydia 2
<view this essay>.... However, since the organism is an obligate intracellular parasite that exclusively infects humans (it cannot synthesize its own ATP or grow on artificial medium), it was once thought to be a virus.(Hatch) Because of Chlamydia's unique developmental cycle, it was taxonomically classified in a separate order. It can thus be found with the other well-known intracellular parasites, rickettsiae, in diagnostic manuals. Until recently, however, there were no reliable and easy tests for chlamydia. Chlamydia prevention and patient care were impeded by the lack of suitable laboratory tests for screening and diagnosis. Such tests are now available. Through edu .....

following a seven month gestation period. Newborn fawns will weigh about four
pounds at birth.
Deer offspring are cared for and may remain with the mother until the
next spring. Fawns retain their spots until mid September and nurse until mid
October. About 40 percent of female fawns breed during their first autumn, but
usually bear only one fawn. Does breeding at age 1 1/2 or .....

Nutritionists of today simplify this into an equation of 40% carbohydrates, 30% fats, and 30% protein that the entire day’s meals should be divided into. The total calorie intake must increase for active persons from 2200 to 2200 .....

Helium
<view this essay>.... possible reactions with other elements
extremely difficult and the resulting compounds quite unstable. Helium is
the most difficult of all gases to liquefy and is impossible to solidify.
These properties make liquid helium extremely useful as a refrigerant and
for experimental work in producing and measuring temperatures close to
absolute zero. Liquid helium can be cooled almost to absolute zero at
normal pressure by rapid removal of the vapor above the liquid. At a
temperature slightly above absolute zero, it is transformed into helium II,
also called super fluid helium, a liquid with unique physical properties.
It has no freezing point, and its viscosity .....

Blood Doping

During high intensity exercise, oxygen is depleted and the body can not get enough oxygen to the muscle in order for them to perform their optimal potential. This lack of ability to get oxygen to the muscle is called oxygen debt and results in lactic acid being formed. Lactic acid is a waste product of anaerobic cellular respiration within the muscle tissue, which can cause muscle sourness that, usually, is felt after a hard or long workout. Fatigue usually sets in with the onset of lactic acid production. Oxygen is carried to the muscle by two delivery sys .....

Deforestation In The Brazilian Amazon

that deforestation provides a source of revenue for people who need it. In
reality, deforestation has few advantages all of which are in the short
term, it has terrible consequences and its long term effects are
devastating, this is why it should be stopped.
Since its discovery, 30% of Brazil's rain forests have disappeared, and the
country is still losing more rain forest each year than any other on the
planet. Brazilian forests are burned or felled at the rate of 1800
hectares (about 4500 acres) every hour! (Dwyer 39) Deforestation started
hundreds of years ago, but only became a major .....
