- 24593: How Various Mechanisms By Which Substances Cross The Cell Me
- Homeostasis is essential to the cell s survival. The cell membrane is responsible for homeostasis. The membrane has a selective permeability which means what moves in and out of the cell is regulated. Amino acids, sugars, oxygen, sodium, and potassium are examples ... carry solutes dissolved in the water across the membrane by using active transport. When the concentration gradient can not allow travel from one side of the membrane to the other fast enough for the cell s nutritional needs, then facilitated diffusion is used. The transport protein is specialized for the solute it is carrying, just as enzymes are specialized for their substrate. The transport protein can be changes or blocked just ... cross.

- ... text also notes that blacks commit crimes at three times the rate of their percentage in the national population. The official crime rate in the United States is measured by the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reports.

- 24595: A Critique of "Gone to Soldiers" by Marge Piercy
- ... me a much better understanding of the cultural and social issues of the World War two era. I learned about the little struggles of working American women, such as the unavailability of stockings and society's negative attitude towards women wearing pants. These issues were ones that I had never thought about before. It amazes me that only fifty years ago a woman could not wear pants to work. Ruthie's friend was sent home to change for wearing loose fitting red pants because they were considered racy. It is equally surprising to me that women still have to wear hose with our skirts or be ... from a white male society into a much more diverse culture and still expect women to wear uncomfortable hose. Piercy made complete sense throughout the entire book and most importantly she kept my attention. Piercy's point of view was biased favorably towards American Jews. I enjoyed the book because it kept my attention on the individual lives of people in the midst of war instead of the battles fought ...
- 24596: Political and Economic Changes In Bulgaria
- ... taken place in Bulgaria over the last two months i.e. January and February of 1997, subject to the news material which was available to me and to the time constraints of this project. Bulgaria's economic crisis exploded into popular outrage at the beginning of January 1997, when previously quiescent Bulgarians poured into the streets to demand that the governing BSP, leave power now rather than when their four-year term expires at the end of 1998. After a month of mostly peaceful daily protests that paralysed Sofia and brought much of the country's business to a halt, the Socialists, who lack the kind of fiercely loyal police and media that have sustained President Slobodan Milosevic in neighbouring Serbia, submitted to the protesters demands on Wednesday, February 5th 1997 ... for April 19. The appointment means that the mass protests forced the leaders of the Socialist majority in parliament to agree to a new ballot 20 months before the end of their elective term. Sofianski's caretaker cabinet includes strong critics of the BSP and has announced it will abolish the economic development portfolio created by them. This new caretaker government has already begun to dismantle the large number of ...
