At the time when your Majesty resolved to admit me both to your council and to an important place in your confidence for the direction of your affairs, I may say that the Huguenots shared the state with you; that the nobles conducted themselves as if they were not your subjects, and the most powerful…
The laboratory is a safe place to experiment if you are careful and familiar with all the equipment. You must assume responsibility for the safety of yourself and your neighbours. This paper outlines the steps to use for safety and first aid in this classroom. Student bags or backpacks and coats are not permitted in…

Using Snell’s law, determine the constant when the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction are: a) 50˚ and 30˚ b) 30˚ and 18˚ …
Post World War II was a time of incredible political change in Canada MacKenzie King In 1945, the C.C.F. was becoming popular. King, the P.M. and leader of the Liberal party, wanted to find a way to “steal their thunder” and strengthen his party’s hold on Canadian politics. He introduced unemployment insurance to give unemployed…
Nucleic acids are the storage form of all the genetic information required by a cell. They also are the cell’s preferred energy molecule ATP as well as acting as being used as intermediate electron carrier molecules in cellular respiration in the form of NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide). cAMP (cyclic adenosine…
Proteins in the human body have a wide range of functions which include: Hormones (insulin, testosterone), Muscle Fibers (actin, muasin), Carrier Protein (Oxygen carrying hemoglobin), Structure/ Support (nails/ hair), Enzymes (biological catalyst), Membrane Transport (Na/ K pump), Cell-to-Cell Recognition, Antibodies. Structure Proteins are polymers made up of amino acid subunits bonded together by peptide bonds.…
To simplify the multitude of possible combinations of reactants, organic reactions fall under specific types. Combustion Substitution Addition Elimination Oxidation/reduction Condensation (dehydration synthesis) Hydrolysis (hydration) Polymerization Another tool to simplify your task of predicting products is to remember that functional groups will always react the same way. e.g. all 1o alcohols will react the same…
Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory is a model in chemistry used to predict the shape of individual molecules based upon the extent of electron-pair electrostatic repulsion. It is also named Gillespie-Nyholm theory after its two main developers. The premise of VSEPR is that the valence electron pairs surrounding an atom mutually repel each…
NAMING HYDROCARBONS HYDROCARBON DESCRIPTION GENERAL FORMULA Alkane (-ane ending) Only single bonds (C—C) CnH2n + 2 (linear) CnH2n (cycloalkane) Alkene (-ene ending) At least one double bond (C=C) CnH2n Alkyne (-yne ending) At least one triple bond (C=C) CnH2n-2 Interesting fact: a double bond is more reactive than a single bond as the second covalent…
Biological molecules are macromolecules, which basically means they are polymers composed on small repeating units that have been covalently bonded together. The exception to this is a type of lipid called triacyleglycerides or phospholipids which are relatively large molecules composed of smaller molecules bonded together. Subunits are chemically liked together in the cell by a…
Complement Protein: special proteins that expand/puncture the pores in membranes on foreign microbes allowing extracellular fluid to rush in and lyse the cells, thus killing them. Lymphocytes: specialized white blood cells T-cells: produced in the bone marrow and stored in the thymus. Act in a seek and destroy fashion by recognizing the antigen markers on…
A thesis statement declares what you believe and what you intend to prove. A good thesis statement makes the difference between a thoughtful research project and a simple retelling of facts. A good tentative thesis will help you focus your search for information. But don’t rush! You must do a lot of background reading before…
Introduction, Purposes and Approaches Social and political philosophers are concerned with defining and interpreting concepts like justice, freedom, authority and democracy in a modern context as well as in the past. These two branches of philosophy overlap so much they are usually treated as one area of philosophy. If there is an actual difference it…

When Louis XIV came to the throne as a five-year-old boy (actually four years, eight months) on 14 May 1643, the Thirty Years’ War was still in progress, and Cardinal Richelieu, the French éminent grise, had died the preceding year. The situation did not look good for France, but the young boy became one of…
The generation between 1880 and 1914 witnessed a unprecedented outburst of European empire building USA was a part of it too A period of highly competitive colonization 4/5ths of Earth’s surface was under European or USA control A few cases of successful resistance, but they were scattered and very few By 1914, the domination of…

Characters: the focus is on two migrant workers, George and Lennie Chapter 1 – establishes relationship between the two primary characters George – a rational realist Lennie – simplistic and child like George cares for Lennie, consistently scolds and…
The Kinetic Molecular Theory states that matter is made up of particles that are always in constant motion and that the particles move more quickly at higher temperatures. From this theory came the COLLISION MODEL for chemical reactions. According to the collision model there are two ways to make a chemical reaction go faster: 1) …
