Introduction The transformation of bacterial cells is a useful experiment to help develop an understanding of transformation by plasmid DNA. This experiment involved four different scenarios of bacterial cells on agar plates. The scenarios were as follows, one plate with plasmid, one without and one plate with ampicillin and plasmid and one with ampicilin and…
Inheritance of Different in Prokaryotes Mutations arise, move from donors to recipients, incorporated to recipients through recombination Transposition: some genes are mobile and can be transferred to another site, and then another host Transformation: the conversion of the heredity type of a cell by the uptake of DNA released by the breakdown of another cell…
Asbestos is a silicate mineral that has essential physical properties to be used in manufactured products. Throughout the twentieth asbestos was mostly used by contractors that constructed buildings and homes. Now it is commonly known that asbestos is linked to a number of various diseases and illnesses.

Part A: Determining the complete rate law The order of reaction with respect to the iodate ion, m, must be determined for the following rate. It is assumed that the order of reaction with respect to the bisulfate is zero, thus n is zero. Sample calculation done for the first C2 value and the first…
Canadian Code of Advertising The Canadian Code of Advertising Standards, which has been developed to promote the professional practice of advertising, was first published in 1963 The code sets the criteria for acceptable advertising and forms the basis upon which advertising is evaluated in response to consumer, trade, or special Advertising: any message expressed in…
“If I were a woman, I’d simply refuse to speak to any man or do anything for men until I got the vote…Women should have a revolution! They should shoot, kill, maim, destroy- until they are given the vote.”[1]. This opinion was expressed by esteemed writer and British icon George Bernard Shaw in 1905-the cusp…
The ‘Big Mac Index’ tries to use the prices of Big Macs in different countries to compare the accuracy of the exchange rates for different currencies. This is possible because McDonalds operates in over 100 countries and the Big Mac is uniform in size and content in all countries The ‘Golden Arches Theory’ is that…
Many symbols are left unexplained in both the novel and the film, but hold significant meaning to the overall story and plotline. In the film, Susie’s charm bracelet is the item Mr. Harvey chooses to keep as a souvenir of her murder. However, when investigating Mr. Harvey’s home, the detectives neglect to see it. In…
In both Shakespeare’s The Tempest and John Milton’s Paradise Lost, characters commit acts considered to be explicitly evil. However, we cannot help but feel sympathy to some extent, as there is always deeper meaning as to why the actions are taken. In The Tempest, despite Caliban’s savage demeanour and unattractive appearance, he has a noble…

The world is full of interesting things, none the least of them are plants, they have developed many different ways to grow, cope, survive and flourish in almost every environment on earth. From water retention to parasitic growth, symbiosis to carnivorous behavior, plants are the supreme adaptors. This report is comparing two very interesting and…
After rocks are formed, they are weathered when exposed at the surface; this prepares material for transport by erosional processes in the rock cycle two main types of weathering include mechanical (disintegration) and chemical (decomposition) that act together and enhance the effectiveness of each other Mechanical: reduction of rocks to smaller pieces, includes: Frost wedging…
Andrew Marvell, a famous poet, was born in 1621 and raised in Yorkshire, England. Most of his poems were published after Marvell’s death in 1678 which is about thirty years after they were written. Although Marvell’s style and theme relates his writing to other famous poets such as Donne and Jonson he is considered to…
Purpose The purpose of this investigation is to explore the percent yield of the precipitate in the reaction Introduction For known amounts of reactants, theoretical amounts of products can be calculated in a chemical reaction or process. Calculated amounts of products are called theoretical yield. In these calculations, the limiting reactant is the limiting factor…
Purpose The purpose of this investigation is to determine the effect that varying temperatures have on the rate of a reaction. Introduction Based on the Kinetic Molecular Theory, the central idea of the collision model is that molecules must collide to react. Therefore, the greater number the number of collisions per second, the greater the…

Introduction Vinegar is a common household item containing acetic acid as well as some other chemicals. This experiment is designed to determine the molar concentration of acetic acid in a sample of vinegar by titrating it with a standard solution of NaOH. CH3COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) -> CH3COONa(aq) + H2O(l) By adding the sodium hydroxide, which…
