Monosaccharides
.... acid (vitamin C) is derived from glucose. Important sugar alcohols (alditols), formed by the reduction of (i.e., addition of hydrogen to) a monosaccharide, include sorbitol (glucitol) from glucose and mannitol from mannose; both are used as sweetening agents. Glycosides derived from monosaccharides are widespread in nature, especially in plants. Amino sugars (i.e., sugars in which one or two hydroxyl groups are replaced with an amino group, -NH2) occur as components of glycolipids and in the chitin o .....

Hawks
.... with some other birds as well.
Habitat and Biome
Hawks live in all different habitats. Some in the foothills of the
mountains while others live in the brushy open country and badlands
of Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and South-central
California. Also in North and Central America for a more wide
variety of hawks. Its biome would be in the Deciduous area as well as
the Grassland and parts of the desert.
Tropic Level/Niche
The hawk is at the top of the ecological food chain. It i .....

The Physics Of A Crystal
.... Crystals may also form when a vapor or molten substance solidifies.
Allotropes are different forms of the same element. For Example, oxygen has two allotropes, normal oxygen and ozone. Pure carbon also has two allotropes, diamond and graphite. A crystal of diamond is in fact a single giant molecule in which every carbon atom is linked to four other, by four equal, strong bonds. These bonds are arranged tetrahedrally round each atom and there are no planes along which the giant molecule can easily .....

Hurricane Andrew
.... Steering currents began to change. Andrew turned toward the northwest and
its forward speed decreased to about 8 kt. The hurricane struck a sparsely populated
section of the south-central Louisiana on the 26th. The landfall location is about 20 n mi
west-southwest of Morgan City.
Andrew dropped sufficient rain to cause local floods even though the hurricane
was relatively small and generally moved rather fast. Rainfall totals in excess of seven
inches were recorded in southeast Florida, Louisiana, .....

Origanum Vulgare

In good health and quality, oregano should have good color, even sized leaf pieces and a fresh aromatic aroma. The leaves of oregano are very aromatic, slightly pointed and hairy. The flowers are white, and bloom from late July to September. Oregano grows to be 2 feet tall, and rich, moist soil makes the aroma and flavor of oregano weak.
Oregano has been used for many other things in the past, and has been very helpful and constructive to humans. .....

Person 4- Arsenic occurs naturally in rocks, soil, water, air, plants and animals. High concentration levels are mostly found in the drinking water in the Western states. Long-term exposure to arsenic in drinking water led .....

Fungus

Some few types of fungi have been reported in Arctic and Antarctic areas (some molds, after all, thrive on refrigerated food). There are about 50,000 known species of fungus.
Although any single typical fungus may not be uniform in appearance--a mushroom, for example, has a cap, stem, and rootlike components--it has, in fact, a uniform structur .....

Tourette Syndrome
.... sensory receptors detect many different stimuli in and outside of your body. For example, your sensory receptors may detect a change in your blood temperature, or a change outside of your body such as a touch on the arm. Your body then goes through a process know as its integrative function. This is when your nervous system processes information sent via your sensory neurons and in a way “makes decisions” regarding appropriate responses. When all is said and done during this process a decision is made .....

God Guided Evolution
.... course. Planets, stars, and solar systems were created. The earth came to be, and nature gradually took it from where it was, to how we know it today. Thus God created nature, and through nature God did his first five days of work, as mentioned in the book of Genesis. Eventually, God’s laws of nature allowed amino acids, the building blocks of life, to originate within the vast oceans of the earth, and life began.
Life is, of course, the most highly debated point of this essay, and of the argument .....

Norepinephrine constricts almost all blood vessels. Norepinephrine is formed by intravenous infusion to combat the fall in blood pressure associated with types of shock. Norepinephrine is formed in the body from the amino acid tyrosine, and epinephrine is formed from norepinephrine.
Mineralocorticoids steroids control the overall body fluid. Mineralocorticoids are critical to regulate concentrations of minerals in extracellular fluids. .....

Euthanasia And Suicide

of deviance. I believe that both show a lack of social integration can increase the likelihood of suicide, and active euthanasia by those that lack coping skills, suffer from depression, have mental problems, and no longer value life. The lack of at .....

Sickle Cell Anemia
.... Dr. Thomas P. Cooley and Dr. P. Lee described two forms of sickle cell disease: sickle cell anemia and sickle cell trait. During 1945, Dr. Linus Pauling discovered that an abnormal form of hemoglobin was the reason for the sickness in sickle cell patients. These two took a train together and started talking about sickle cell anemia. Castle told Pauling about how the cells in sickle cell patients sickled when their oxygen level is low. Paling was amazed by this conversation and did further research on .....
