Yeast and hymocytometer
NAME : NUR SAKINAH BINTI ISMAIL CLASS : M12F TEACHER`S NAME : PUAN MAZDIYAH BINTI SUBJECT : BIOLOGY HIGH LEVEL TITLE : Yeast cells and haemocytometer AIM : To investigate the effect of five different dilutions of yeast suspension on the number of cell per mm3 RESEARCH QUESTION : How do the five different dilutions of yeast suspension effect the number of cell per mm3 INTRODUCTION :Yeast are tiny single-celled (unicellular) fungi. The organisms in the Kingdom Fungi are not capable of making their own food. Fungi, like any other organism, need food for energy. They rely on sugar found in their environment to provide them with this energy so that they can grow and reproduce. Yeast, like bacteria grow in or on their food source. They produce and release digestive proteins (enzymes) into their environment where the sugar molecules are found. Complex sugar molecules then break down into monosaccharides that can be absorbed by the yeast and used for food (energy). There are many species of yeast, and each has a particular food source. Certain yeast feed on a variety of natural sources of sugar such as fruits, nectar from plants, and molasses from the plant crop called sorghum. Others break down wood and corn stalks. In doing this, a compound called ethanol is produced. This compound can be used in our cars like gasoline. Another species break down sugar from
What has made Cannibalism exist for such a long time?
What makes Cannibalism exist for such a long time? Tingjun Ye(Kevin) Cannibalism was widespread in the past among human-beings in many parts of the world, continuing into the 19th century in some sporadic South Pacific cultures, and to the present day in parts of equatorial Africa. In a few cases in island Melanesia, native flesh-markets are still existed.(Bruce M. Knauft, 1999) "Fiji used to be known as the 'Cannibal Isles'. Cannibalism has been well documented around the world, from Fiji to the Amazon Basin to the Congo to Maori New Zealand. Neanderthals are believed to have practiced cannibalism, and they may have been eaten by modern humans." (Gibbons, 1997) The practice of human cannibalism is highly variable and can be defined in a number of ways: (1) Endocannibalism is the consumption of deceased individuals who live within the group, such as relative and friends. (This costume was common in New Guinea as an act of worship.) (2) Exocannibalism is the consumption of outsiders as an act to gain strength or corroborate power over the vanquished, who had usually been murdered. (3) Starvation or survival cannibalism is the consumption during real or perceived starvation. (4) Gastronomic cannibalism is nonfunerary, nonstarvation cannibalism which is a routine cannibalism for food. (5) Medicinal cannibalism is the consumption of human organs such as blood, bone, or dried
Japan No More - Japanese Culture and the Influence of Western festivals.
Japan No More Just about one and a half centuries ago, Japan had been isolating itself from much of the world for over two hundred years during the Tokugawa Shogunate. Nevertheless, with the arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry who compelled the opening of Japan, Japan has changed. It's once profound culture has changed. This homogenous island country has quickly gone through industrialization, modernization, and westernization. The people of Japan have all forgotten the beautiful Japanese traditions and have rather become addicted to the western world, imitating it to a point which has become ridiculous. Kimono-a Japanese word any foreigner would know. But who wears them these days? Perhaps it is only the geishas and maikos in Kyoto and kabuki actors who still wear kimonos on a daily basis. After the World War II ended, the United States sent western clothes as one of the many supplies since the clothes industries and markets of Japan blanked out with the war. This is the start of when wearing western clothes had become natural in Japan but all before that, women wore kimonos or yukatas, lighter versions of kimonos, and men wore hakamas, male kimonos, or jinbeis which were male versions of the yukata. Now when walking outside the streets of Japan, it is almost impossible to find someone wearing any kind of Japanese traditional clothing. But instead, people are wearing jeans,
I will argue that Canada should continue to develop some regulations to protect its cultural industries. It is extremely important for a nation to promote and preserve its own culture
The history of Canada In Canadian history it is quite evident we are influenced heavily by the much stronger nations around us. Therefore our own content in Canada is sometimes overshadowed by other cultures, specifically with regards to the United States who have a big influence on our cultural industries. Pierre Trudeau expressed the feeling Canadians have with this co-existence, "Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly or temperate the beast, one is affected by every twitch and grunt." Some may argue that Canada should not continue to develop regulations to protect its cultural industries. However, I will argue that Canada should continue to develop some regulations to protect its cultural industries. It is extremely important for a nation to promote and preserve its own culture because if we don’t preserve our culture now the people of Canada won’t have a sense of nationalism or won’t feel like they belong to something. Cultures important in a country because it helps to bring a nation together because it gives something to people in a country to relate to. We need it especially in Canada because of Canada’s relative population to the rest of the world we are an easy target for cultural penetration from foreign countries. There have been countless rules and regulations imposed on everything, from issues such as

Key skills sheet 8 Introduction Culture is learned through members of their society, we start to learn it from a very young age. It includes morals, values and beliefs. These are acquired through group norms. I experienced Moroccan culture and the culture of Islam when I went to Morocco for a month. I was initially incredibly uncomfortable with how Moroccan people live. Culture shock is a process that occurs within a person, who finds themself in a foreign country where everything seems unfamiliar. It has many symptoms, which Oberg stated such as sadness and isolation. Although I attempted to reduce culture shock by researching Morocco before I arrived, I still found it completely unfamiliar. Culture shock was a daunting process for me to go through. It was the first time I had truly felt it as Moroccan culture was so contrasting to European culture. Oberg (1960) developed a concept relating to culture shock, stating that culture shock was in four stages: the honeymoon stage, the irritation and hostility stage, the
Chinese Architecture. This Essay shortly describes the ancient Chinese architecture with the main point on the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Essay Chinese Architecture This Essay shortly describes the ancient Chinese architecture with the main point on the Hall of Supreme Harmony. INTRODUCTION The Chinese architecture is less studied than the architecture of almost any other great civilization on the world. Also in the Western countries a common comment about the Chinese architecture is that it looks all the same, with the standard picture of the Forbidden City on mind. This Essay will be about some points of the ancient Chinese architecture, which here can't be described in every detail, because the classical Chinese architecture has a long and creative history. Different types of architecture will be described shortly and the main point lies on the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City in Beijing and some of its architectural features. MAINPART General The earliest buildings in China are dated 7000 years and since then the architecture went through some developments. The architecture was shaped by different factors. Of the 56 ethnic groups which exist in China, the Han are the most numerous. 94% of the people in China are considered as Han Chinese. All these groups live in different areas in this huge land and therefore they have different local building materials. Also the religions, like Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, had an influence on the temple and altar architecture. Beside these two
Evidence for bipedal locomotion allows archaeologists and paleontologists to trace the evolution of the earliest humans. What other evidence is brought to bear on the matter?
UNIVERSITY OF MALTA Archaeology Evidence for bipedal locomotion allows archaeologists and paleontologists to trace the evolution of the earliest humans. What other evidence is brought to bear on the matter? Tamsin Brincat 25493 (M) Human lineage is nothing but the fruit of evolution: our genealogical family tree demonstrates that our ancestors were in fact primates. The story of human evolution starts in Africa and dates back millions of years. Archaeologists and palaeontologists use the archaeological evidence obtained from these sites in order to provide us with a framework of the development of the human species. In 1871, Charles Darwin, the father of the theory of the process of evolution by natural selection, proposed that humans and apes have a common ancestor. Thanks to anatomical and molecular studies we now know that 98% of African chimpanzee DNA is identical to that of humans. However, this does not mean that chimpanzees are our ancestors. This might however imply that we share a common ancestor. During the mid-Miocene period, around 8 million years ago, different apes dominated most of the African continent which was covered in lush vegetation. As these apes abounded in the African forests, their bodies adapted to the environment, hence developing grasping toes and joint mobility in arms and shoulders. These features provided them with brilliant surviving
More adoption, less abortion.
Phuektong Patthama Phuektong Professor Bob Williams EN 110 FC 4 October 2012 More Adoption, Less Abortion With the pressures of peers come the pressures of sex. More and more of America’s youth are becoming sexually active and less and less of this youth use a form of sexual protection. Unprotected sex may lead to an unwanted pregnancy, and in turn, abortion. This does not pertain only to teenage pregnancies but adult pregnancies as well. Women of all ages are choosing to abort for various reasons such as financial instability, emotional instability, and even shame. Although abortion is becoming a ubiquitous and popular practice for an unplanned pregnancy, it is not the solution. Abortion has more potential hazards than benefits and this medical procedure should be banned and made illegal. An adoption should be the first priority to be considered by unplanned pregnant women, and doctors. Abortion is an inhumane form of murder and immoral to the developing fetus. This medical procedure does not give an unwanted child a chance at life, therefore “almost 1 out of 4 American babies are aborted” (Bender, David and Bruno Leone 28). Abortion does not grant the child a say in his or her future. It takes away his or her life without considering the child’s potential. Abortion has become so common that “every year in America, 1.5 million
The Maasai Tribe of Africa. Gender superiority is the central figure of the Maasai culture as this way of life is what holds the culture together, preserving and preventing the tribe from becoming tainted. Maasai men and women are a semi- nomadic ethnic
The Maasai Tribe Figure: Gender Superiority Gender superiority is the central figure of the Maasai culture as this way of life is what holds the culture together, preserving and preventing the tribe from becoming tainted. Maasai men and women are a semi- nomadic ethnic group whom which are located in Kenya and northern Tanzania. It has come to my attention, that there is a clear distinction between gender identity, based on the different roles that the Maasai men and women partake in their day-to-day lives. In fact, it is evident that men are given the more praised roles and duties in comparison to women. From a very early age, boys are sent out with the calves and lambs as soon as they can toddle. Cattle are the mainstay of the traditional Maasai way of life, and their importance is embedded deep into the hearts and minds of these peoples; it is with great honor that only the boys come in contact with the calves from an early age. In contrast, the girls are responsible for domestic tasks, such as cooking and constructing homes for the people within the tribe. A girl's childhood is dominated by a strict avoidance, even a fear of her father and other elders. Girls are socialized to accept her subservience to her future husband. Furthmore, the most honorary role in the Maasai tribe, is having the title of a warrior. Becoming a warrior is the big dream of every young
Apply Functionalism and Structuralism to the Trobriander Islanders Economy
Apply Functionalism and Structuralism to the Trobriander Islanders' Economy Jonathan Quaade Ethnographer: Bronislaw Malinowski 1914-1918, Ethnographer: Anette B. Weiner 1980's Location: Trobriand Islands, Papua New Guinea The Trobriand Island inhabitants live in a society composed of four clans further divided into subclans or dala, in the local language. These dala follow a matrilineal descent system that define territory, kinship and marriage, and are the corporations of society via the yam exchanges of kin, but the higher structure, clan, have no corporate interest and have no chiefs, but only chiefly dala's have chiefs, commoner dalas have managers as leaders and they cannot marry polygamous. Although, the Trobrianders have a matrilineal descent system they have patrilocal residence structure. Looking at the Trobrianders from a functionalist perspective that all aspects of that all aspects of society (ex institutions) have specific functions Malinowski said that functionalism is the theory that a society is a set of interconnected parts where the social institutions support the needs of the individual's society by contributing to the social structure. These needs are either social, biological or economical, e.g. biological needs involve aspects such as food and water necessary for survival. Malinowski argued against evolution saying that there is a certain order
