Career Plan Building Activity: Competencies and Career Interests Profiler My Results I had five bars in innovating, which, four bars for strategizing, adapting to change, and cooperating. I had three bars each in researching and coping with pressure. There was no surprise for most of the results except for the researching one, I love to do research and ask questions. The five bars for innovating I think come from the fact that I hate doing things the way they “have always been done”

Plants and Semiconductors A Contrast and Comparison of Energy Conversion J’Haun Egerson Strayer University Photosynthesis is the process used by plants to harness the suns energy. The plants use this harnessed energy to produce food. The leaves of plants help trap the energy from sunlight. The process of photosynthesis transforms the solar energy into the chemical energy of a carbohydrate. Photosynthesis occurs mainly in plant leaves, little to none occurs in the stems, roots, etc. To dive

Work and Energy Force, work, energy and power are words used frequently in our everyday lives. What exactly do they mean? To put it simply, force is that which causes an object to move, while work is done when that force causes movement. Energy is the inherent ability of any object to do work, while power is the rate at which that work is done. Law of Conservation of Mechanical Energy Mechanical energy is stored in an object due to virtue of its motion. Potential energy and kinetic energy are the

Alecia Rae Atiyeh Winter 2011 Nuclear Fusion Vs Fission At the speed we are using up fossil fuels, nuclear energy is looking more and more like a possible replacement. Nuclear energy is created in two ways, through nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Nuclear fission is the splitting of a heavy atom into two or more parts, releasing huge amounts of energy. The release of energy can be controlled and captured for generating electricity. Nuclear fusion involves bombarding hydrogen atoms together

and exercise. B. Supplements. IV. All living organisms in the world need to produce energy in order to grow, move, multiply and exist. Several chemical reactions need to occur for this energy to be produced. All of this energy is stored in the cell molecules until it is needed. The cells conserve its resources by producing only what is needed. When the cell molecules give up this energy to be used it is referred to as metabolism.
