Introduction

The cell membrane encloses the cell contents and regulates what gets in and out of the cell. This property of a cell is referred to as selective permeability and helps in maintaining life processes (Beckett 22). The property enables physiological process such as diffusion and osmosis to proceed. Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration (Roberts and Mitchelmore 38). In a cell membrane, the molecules will diffuse from the side where the molecules are more to a region where they are less. Because of selective permeability, only molecules ...

Introduction

The Foucauldian theory of Discourse has been an influential tool used by many organizations in shaping and enhancing the understanding on power. The theory has assisted many organizations to deviate from assessments of power from different actors who perceive the same as a coercion instrument. The Foucauldian theory of discourse additionally drives people away from the discreet operational structures of the actors and tries to make them understand that power is equally distributed, embodied and diffused in discourse, regimes of truth and knowledge. According to Michel Foucault, power operates on other levels and makes up who we are. Foucault's ...

The idea that slavery poisons socioeconomic development and, therefore, prosperity of enslaved nations has been cited and repeated in academic quarters so often that it has become a platitude, assuming the aura of conventional wisdom. Indeed, whereas slavery augmented the riches of the slave-trading states and supported the labor force of the states on the receiving end of this phenomenon, it had debilitating and far-reaching consequences for the enslaved states. Projecting these simple empirically-grounded assumptions onto the case of Ghana and other West African states, it appears that slavery deprived these societies of their most productive members, leaving a trail of ...

Cell Description and Shape Attributes

 Essential life molecules, which make up all living organisms, are bound together by a membrane to form a cell’s structural unit (Hand, 2018). The diverse cell shapes in eukaryotes and prokaryotes reveal each cell’s function. Each cell develops a form related to its function. For example, neurons contain extensions (axons and dendrites) that pass quick messages to the entire body (Alberts et al., 2015). Erythrocytes have a flexible shape to facilitate easy movement across capillaries. Pollen grains contain spikes for easy attachment to pollinating agents.

Some of the Ways Belief in the Paranormal May be Shaped and Influenced by One’s Cultural Context

Parapsychology may be defined as the study of apparently anomalous organism-environment interaction. This is a negative definition as it situates parapsychology in opposition to orthodox science. In consequence, it loses research topic whenever they become understandable within the framework of orthodox science. Therefore, some critics have recommended an alternative approach that parapsychology be redefined as an interdisciplinary science that would study paranormal beliefs and experiences from historical, experimental, clinical and socio-cultural perspectives (Hess 1993). It would appear stating the obvious to claim that paranormal beliefs are to an extent a product of the sociocultural environment of the believer. For instance, a child ...

Corridors and Population Dispersion

Part I. Introduction and Review of Relevant Biology

1. Energy transfer becomes inefficient in higher trophic levels in a food chain. Predators utilize more energy in obtaining food than their prey. The number of organisms and the amount of biomass defines energy relationships among organisms in trophic levels. Most top predators are huge in size but their population is lower because there is not enough energy to support a large population of these predators (Odum and Barrett).

2. A population of infinite size is seen less likely to evolve since it would be almost resistant to random fluctuations within the environment. Small populations on the other hand are prone ...
