A. The DNA being the most important part of the cell is understandably found within the deepest recesses of the cell. DNA strands are found inside the nucleus  a membrane enclosed organelle inside the cell itself. The situation can be imagined as a separate closed vault (the nucleus) within the bank (the cell). To reach the DNA would involve getting through the cell membrane, across the cytoplasm and inside the nucleus. Viewing the task as a heist, the intruders would need to breach through...

Wind power is one kind of a renewable energy that is generated from kinetic energy of moving air. After harnessing of this energy, it is transformed to other forms of energy like mechanical energy and electrical power. Wind power utilization has evolved for a long time. Man has known of existence of this type of power and has therefore used it to cruise boats. The initial use of wind power to drive windmills was applied in grinding and pumping water and was developed by Persians at around 500-900...

Gloves should be used for the appropriate purpose. Gloves are designed to protect against some chemicals. Funeral personnel encounter many chemicals as well as germs that may affect them. They require gloves that will protect them against bases, alcohols, dilute water solutions, ketones and aldehydes. The best gloves for funeral service personnel are the latex gloves.

On a given day in the winter in St. Louis, Missouri it began snowing in the morning, the snow changed to rain by noon, later in the afternoon sleet was falling which turned to snow, and by evening rain was freezing on bridges and roadways. Briefly explain how such a sequence of precipitation might occur.  Changes in the forms of precipitations are likewise dependent on different factors including the climate or weather, temperature, air saturation and geographical location among others. The...

Albedo is generally defined as the ratio of diffusely reflected to incident electromagnetic radiation and another term for reflectivity. It is unitless measure of an objects or surfaces reflectivity. The surface of the Earth has an average albedo of 0.3. Given that everything else being equal, a place with higher albedo would tend to be cooler than a place with lower albedo. Rural areas, where the surface is covered by trees and other vegetations, generally have higher albedo than urban areas....

The beginning of the 21st century has been marked with the growing commitment to the use of technology in everyday life and the role of technology in curriculum and instructional design has become increasingly important. Throughout the history of instructional design, the impact of technology on student achievement has been the source of the continuous professional debate. In 1983, Clark wrote the best current evidence is that media are mere vehicles that deliver instruction but do not influence...

Whether Rogers Diffusion of Innovations theory has become a revolution in the process of reconsidering the role of innovations in social life is difficult to decide, but it is clear that the theory creates a general picture of how innovations work and can work for the benefit of the social development.
