Cells Case
Although a cell may be the smallest functional, living unit known to man; it is certainly not the least important. In fact, all life is based on cells. All functions of an organism are dependent on individual and collective cell functions. Almost all cells have three basic regions which include: the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and the nucleus; all of which play an active role in cell functions. The plasma membrane acts as an outer boundary for the cell. This boundary is flexible, semi-permeable, and is made to control the passing of molecules in and out

Climate Change in the Arab World Is Becoming a Significant Problem.
Climate change in the Arab world is becoming a significant problem. The agriculture sector will be affected adversely soon. For instance, today, the extreme heat has been experienced for a more extended period than before. The results prevent the agriculture sector from performing well. The land available for agriculture is expected to reduce by a more significant percentage, most probably, by the middle of the century. Agricultural land is not the only area affected by climate change. Heat increase has transformed the way of life in the cities in the Middle East. According to Uprety

Coalfields and Coal Resources in Tanzania
COALFIELDS AND COAL RESOURCES IN TANZANIA INTRODUCTION Coal is the combustible black or dark-brown rock consisting mainly of carbonized plant matter. Coal is mainly found in underground deposits and widely used as a source of energy due to its high energy content. Coal is composed of 65-95% carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen and nitrogen among other constituents. Coal reserves in Tanzania are estimated at 5 billion tonnes, 25% of which are proven, according to the Tanzania Minerals Audit Agency (TMAA). COALFIELLDS 1. Kiwira coalfield 2. Ngaka coalfield 3.

Comparing Water Potential of Two Plant Tissues
Comparing water potential of two plant tissues Introduction Osmosis is a passive transport and stands for diffusion of water across the plasma membrane, which is selectively permeable. Taking in account the difference in free water – water not bound to solutes or surfaces – concentration, H2O diffuses from the area of lower solute concentration to the area of higher solute concentration. When plant cells, which have walls, are placed in a hypotonic environment, the wall helps preserve the cell's water balance. Just as in animal cells, the water fills the cell and causes swelling, but

Compleximetric Titration
Various compounds or substances can be used in quantitative analysis, including complexes. A complex or coordination compound is a molecular entity composed of a central metal ion reacting with electron-pair donors called ligands. The ligands must have at least one pair of unshared electrons available to form a covalent bond. They can be grouped in different ways depending on the number of coordination bonds they manage to form with the transition metal. Monodentate forms only one coordination bond, while polydentate forms more bonds. Complexes that polydentate ligands form are called chelates. A certain form of

Discovery of the Electron
JJ Thomson discovered the electron in 1897. Thomson used a tool called the cathode ray tube to discover these subatomic particles. The Cathode ray tube consists of a tube, not unlike a water bottle. Inside this tube were two metal plates. The first was connected to a power source and was positively charged, while the other was connected to the same power source, but was negatively charge and it had a hole in the middle of it. Once the power was fed to the plates, a ray shot out from the negatively charged plate, through

Discovery Paper Fracking - Hydraulic Fracturing
You might be asking yourself, what entirely is Hydraulic Fracturing? As David Shukman, a writer for the BBC, explains, fracking “is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside. Water, sand and chemicals are injected into the rock at high pressure which allows the gas to flow out to the head of the well”. In other words, fracking can be seen as a method of drilling down into the earth to extract natural gas. This requiring chemicals and other liquids
