THE DARK TRUTH: NEGATIVE PEER PRESSURE Imagine getting together for coffee with a group of friends. The conversation turns to a discussion of a recent The Big Bang Theory episode. "I just love that show" you chime in (you really hate it). Later, someone suggests a movie.

By the end of the evening, in spite of excellent coffee, old friends and a reasonably good movie, you still

water rushed into the cell. The 0.50%, 1.0%, 2.0%, and the 3.0% were all hypertonic, because water left the potato cells due to the concentrations of NaCl. The turgor pressure was greatest in the 0% solution due to the outward push the extra water molecules put on the cell wall. The 3.0% solution had the least amount of turgor pressure, because more of the water already in the cells rushed out, leaving the cell wall not as rigid. In the 0.6% NaCl solution, the cells were more withered and misshapen

body. This occurs due to other conditions or diseases such as chronic hypertension or a previous myocardial infarction. Clinical findings may include a decreased blood pressure, dizziness, or signs of hypoxia. The body senses this decrease in cardiac output and attempts to maintain homeostasis. Baroreceptors detect inadequate pressure and norepinephrine is released by the adrenal gland. This causes profound vasoconstricion, as well as an increase in inotropy, chronotropy, and dromotropy. This just

transfer from aerated liquid to the cell is especially important at high cell densities, when cell growth is likely to be limited by the availability of oxygen in the medium. The solubility of oxygen in aqueous solutions at ambient temperature and pressure is only about 10 ppm, (Doran, 1998) which is quickly consumed by the cell and necessitates constant replacement by sparging. The concentration gradient (cAL*-cAL) is essentially small, so ensuring effective mass transfer becomes difficult. Therefore

According to Urden, Stacy, and Lough (2006), shock is a life-threatening condition that can lead to ineffective tissue perfusion or may further progress to multiple organ dysfunction and death. The different types of shock include hypovolemic shock, cardiogenic shock, anaphylactic shock, neurogenic shock, and septic shock (Urden, Stacy, & Lough, 2006). This essay will analyze septic shock based on the analysis of a presented case study. To further understand this concept, a review of treatment and
