I found the paper very intriguing to read. Being an animal lover myself, I can understand from where Haraway was coming from in this paper. The fact that she decided to use “companion species” instead of just the simple “pet” term signified so much, especially since she focused this paper mostly on one of my favorite animals, dogs.

Analysis of Ethnocentrism in Avatar In the film Avatar, Jake Sully, a human, mentally controls a body that contains cells of the Na’vi natives from the planet, Pandora, and he attempts to learn the culture of the Na’vi. In a long run, the effect of being exposed to enthnocentrism, primitivism, romanticism and exoticism, could have changed Jakes’s decision from helping the humans to helping and living with the Na’vi. The aim of this essay is to explore enthinocentrism and its three areas: the primitive

These four forces include hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and disulfide bonds. Hydrophobic interactions are the weakest of the four forces and they occur between nonpolar amino acids. According to Borges (2014) these hydrophobic

function it is denatured. Changes that causes denature of a protein are: changes of pH, changes in salt concentration, changes in temperature, and the presence of reducing agents (Ahern & Rajagopal,2012). None of these changes break the peptide bonds and the structure remains but the function is lost. There are four different protein structures. Primary structure is a straight chain of amino acids. A

organisms; Water is a polar molecule. This is because the oxygen atom pulls the shared electrons towards it, meaning that water is slightly negatively charged at the oxygen and positively charged at the hydrogen ends, so they can form hydrogen bonds with each other. This are continuing breaking and reforming, so the molecules can move around. Property of water Solvent Importance Metabolic processes in all organisms rely on chemicals being able to react together in solution Examples

twenty percent less gravity than Earth making the proportional scale several times larger than Earth’s, the animals, the plants, everything is huge in comparison to the Earth. The atmosphere on Pandora is made up of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, xenon, ammonium, methane, and hydrogen sulfide. The carbon dioxide and the hydrogen sulfide are non-breathable for humans, this is why they humans have the wear oxygen masks (exopacks). Pandora is a very biodiverse locale. It has its own functioning ecosystem

because it is polar (negatively charged). Fatty acids with no double bonds in their structural are called Saturated fatty acids and they include: Butryric acid (Butatonoic acid C-4) Caproic acid (Hexanoic C-6) Capric acid (Octanoic acid C-8) Fatty acids are named on the basis of hydrocarbon from which they are derived. The saturated fatty acids end with a suffix anoic (e.g. octanoic – 8c). fatty acids with double bonds are called unsaturated fatty acids and they have the suffix –enoic e
