Definition/comparison questions Evolution / Selection Evolution is a slow continuous process of change that happens in plants and animals over a long period of time resulting in a change from simpler to more complex forms. This is the reason modern day plants and animals are different from those of past. The competition for resources will favour organisms with better adaptability and certain variations over others hence leading to change in the rate of occurrence of certain traits within that population

Spandex fibers were first produced by Farbenfabriken Bayer. He was a pioneer in polymer chemistry and in 1952 earned a German patent for his synthesis. The final development of spandex was produced by scientists at Du Pont and the U.S. rubber Company. Du Pont used the brand name Lycra. They soon began manufacturing in 1962. Du Pont is the world’s leader in spandex production. Spandex development first started in during World War II as a substitute for rubber. Since rubber was being used for the

Diffusion across Biological Membranes: A simulation Introduction Diffusion is the process by which collisions between molecules cause to spread apart. This movement is described as movement from an area of greater concentration to an area of lower concentration. Hence‚ diffusion continues until the molecules are equally distributed. This is to ensure that molecules have reached a state of equilibrium. Diffusion occurs spontaneously‚ no energy is involved. In cells‚ Diffusion occurs through

original organic matter containing comlex compounds‚ e.g.‚ carbohydrates‚ protein and fats is broken down through the influence of water (known as hydrolysis) to simple water soluble compounds. • The polymers (large molecules) are reduced to monomers (basic molecules). • The process takes about a day at 25oC in an active digester. Biogas production from waste biomass: • Biomass if left to decompose in open air‚ is acted upon by aerobic bacteria (bacteria that require oxygen for their

Background Theory. Polyethylene Polyethyene is a type of polymer that is used in our daily life. Polyethylene(abbreviated PE) is a thermoplastic polymer‚ meaning that is can be melted to a liquid state and remolded as it returns to a solid state. PE is chemically synthesized from ethylene‚ a compound that is usually made from petroleum or natural gas[1]. The main mechanical properties of PE are the ultimate tensile strength and the modulus of elasticity. There are different types of Polyethylene

The present invention relates to polyvinyl chloride plastisol compositions‚ for example sealant compositions. In the manufacture of automobiles‚ the automobile body is initially primed with a coating composition to prevent corrosion of the metal. This can be done in a number of ways although generally it is performed by cationic electrodeposition using the auto body as the cathode. Once the automobile body has been primed in this manner‚ subsequent steps in the assembly are carried out. These
