AP Biology/Pd. 2 11/13/13 “Silent Springs” Test Content Questions: 1. Carlson classifies modern insecticides into two groups of chemicals. The first group‚ represented by DDT‚ is known as the “chlorinated hydrocarbons” and the other group‚ represented by Malathion and parathion‚ consists of the organic phosphorus insecticides. Although both are organic‚ the organic phosphorous insecticides are more poisonous than the chlorinated hydrocarbons and have the ability to destroy enzymes. 2. When insecticides

Ethyl acetate (systematically‚ ethyl ethanoate‚ commonly abbreviated EtOAc or EA) is the organic compound with the formula CH3COOCH2CH3. This colorless liquid has a characteristic sweet smell (similar to pear drops) and is used in glues‚ nail polish removers‚ and cigarettes (see list of additives in cigarettes). Ethyl acetate is the ester of ethanol and acetic acid; it is manufactured on a large scale for use as a solvent. The combined annual production in 1985 of Japan‚ North America‚ and Europe

Wastewater and stormwater cause the release of metals into the water supply‚ resulting in toxicity. Many of these metals‚ iron and magnesium in specific‚ can reach toxic concentrations that result in a loss of nutrient uptake in aquatic vegetation. Over time‚ heavy metals saturate wetlands and are consumed by wildlife‚ causing deformities‚ cancers

acne‚ restlessness‚ weight gain‚ vomiting etc. (“Pros and Cons”). The most imperative effect from lithium carbonate is the toxicity levels. The difference between the dosage of aid and toxic is relatively small. Most people are prescribed a set amount of lithium at a safe blood level dosage. The safe dosage is 0.6 and 1.2 milliequivalents per liter (Cafasso). The toxicity can happen once it reaches about 0.3 more than 1.2 milliequivalents per liter. According to Healthline‚ it is easy for an individual

known for being in electronics and has continuously grown to be used in studies that possibly can help to understand the increasing rate of pollution and environmental events. Indium does not have a great affect on human health‚ it does have a low toxicity rate but can become poison if the circumstances are what is befitting at that time such as consumption. Little to no information is given about how indium affects the environment; scientist across the U.S are figuring the uses for Indium; the purpose

Brandi Wright Period 4 The Bottle Blowfish Life History/Introduction: There was a time in history when the oceans were overly polluted with trash of various sorts. The water was so polluted and the food source for the ocean life was diminishing. This was the habitat of the blowfish. Their food became so scarce they began to eat the very things that were polluting the waters. The blowfish began to mutate with what they were eating. The Bottle Blowfish came to be from a mutation between

Introduction: This essay will look at an ethical dilemma encountered in clinical practice while working as a clinical research nurse as part of a lung cancer research team. This essay will give a background to the subject area‚ look at the potential impact of this dilemma on clinical research and identify evidence based potential solutions to the dilemma. Methods of implementing the potential solutions into practice will then be outlined. The NMC (2008‚ p. 6) Code of Conduct states that as a nurse
