Photosynthesis and Solar cells In order for humans to live, as well as all living organisms, photosynthesis used by plants to create solar energy is essential. The way cells are created and regenerated is fascinating and we are still making new discoveries each and every day. A solar cell converts light energy from the sun directly into electricity. Plant cells contains chloroplasts and absorbs light energy from the Sun. Plant growth and development are driven by continuous generation of new

Challenges Facing Whitetail Deer Throughout the Midwest, whitetail deer hunting has been a time-honored tradition for well over a century. Every November 15th, the opening day of the firearm season, family bonds are renewed as grandfathers, fathers, and sons hit the woods. White-tailed deer have been a valuable resource dating back to the Native Americans who hunted them long before settlers came to the area. Back then, however, the population was abundant compared to the scarcity that is facing

Culture [I]ndividuals feel, think, and see things from the viewpoints of the groups in which they participate (Smith, 1991, p. 182). [W]e cannot understand human diversity without understanding how culture contributes to the substantial variations we observe every day (Lonner, 1994, p. 241). Culture is to human behavior as operating systems are to software, often invisible and unnoticed, yet playing an extremely important role in development and operation (Matsumoto, 2001, p. 3).

each other and produce an offspring that will also be able to reproduce. Organisms of the same species are similar but not identical. The differences that occur both between different species and within the same species are called variation. An animal that is the offspring of parents from two different species is called a hybrid, and it is unable to reproduce. When genetic information are passed on to an organism from its parents the information are said to be inherited. Most cells have a nucleus

Journal for Critical Animal Studies, Volume 10, Issue 2, 2012 (ISSN1948-352X) Beyond Dehumanization: A Post-Humanist Critique of Solitary Confinement Lisa Guenther Abstract What does it mean to be treated like a nonhuman animal? In this paper, I analyze the discourse of “dehumanization” in Madrid v Gomez, a 1995 Eighth Amendment case concerning the treatment of prisoners at California’s Pelican Bay Supermax Penitentiary. I argue that the language of dehumanization fails to describe the harm

Jews were "worthless", and considered "animals". As time went on in the Holocaust, the physiological impact of the Nazi hatred demoralized the Jews. Jews were shot as target practice, starved (mostly to death), and forced to kill their own kind to save themselves; it was just about one's own survival- no one else mattered. Family and love soon became words that people no longer understood. In anyone’s life, it is important to have a strong family and the bond of love, but in the Holocaust, Jews were

Stem Cell Research Embryonic stem cell research dates as far back as the early 1900’s when scientists discovered that certain cells could produce more cells in both animals and humans. In 1961, two scientists, Dr. James Till and Dr. Ernest McCulloch, proved the existence of cells that can “self-renew repeatedly for various uses.” (“Stem cell history,” 2011). Stem cells are an important element to medical research. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, “there are four primary

carbon atoms with attached hydrogen atoms. A saturated fat is a fatty acid that has carbon atoms attached to each other with a single bond with the maximum number of hydrogen atoms attached. An unsaturated fat is a fatty acid that has carbon atoms attached with double bonds due to a missing a pair of hydrogen atoms in the middle. A fatty acid with only one double bond is "monounsaturated" and is “polyunsaturated” if more than one pair of hydrogen atoms is missing. Fatty acids are also classified by
