Light Absorption by Photosynthetic Pigments in Silver Beet Abstract The aim of the experiment was to determine the absorption of differing wavelengths of light by individual pigments in the vegetable silver beet. Pigments were extracted from silver beet leaves and separated into chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b‚ and carotene via chromatographs. Chlorophylls were then separated and an absorption spectra created using results obtained from a spectrophotometer. It was clear there were two distinct peaks

I believe that this is an argument that will have good arguments for either side and as such I will defend and debate against both sides throughout the course of this essay. I believe that curfew laws are most definately something that many people‚ mostly teenagers since they are the ones affected‚ would be opposed to. It can be seen as unfair to force someone to follow a curfew especially if they want to go hang out with friends or if they wanted to do something that required being out at night

equality of opportunity with the difference principle. The democratic equality argument concludes that the theory of justice is interpreted such that social and economic inequalities can be ameliorated in both natural and social conditions. I find this argument problematic because it ignores some morally arbitrary factors‚ leads to unjust distribution of wealth‚ and violates personal liberty. The democratic equality argument is centered on the proposal for a society to exhibit distributions such as

The Cosmological Argument as proof of God The Cosmological Argument is born out of premise that the world must have a cause and a reason for existing. The word ‘cosmos’ comes the Greek word meaning concerned with cause. The argument is posteriori in its nature‚ meaning it is based on thing we experience in the universe‚ and takes a probabilistic approach to try and decipher how said evidence came to being. In this essay I will focus on arguments from Aquinas‚ Leibniz and Frederick Copleston‚ whilst

isn’t a sport because no one wants to work so hard for something and have others take that away from them because what they’re doing is not a “sport”. Although it seems easy to differentiate between what is and what isn’t a sport‚ there are many arguments today trying to decide if certain activities should be classified as a sport or not. The Merriam-Webster definition of a sport is “a contest or game in which people do certain physical activities according to a specific set of rules and compete

It is absurd to believe the ideas that supporters of torture come up with. Many of their arguments only work in very specific situations that may never happen. Should something as unspeakable as torture be allowed because of situations that most likely will never happen? The “ticking bomb” argument is the idea that in the case that there is a limited amount

Damn That Evil The problem of evil is an issue that is entirely too overlooked and dismissed by most Christians. I believe that it is a valid argument to renounce some views that traditional theism sets forward. This problem makes the existence of a traditional God extremely unlikely‚ and it makes a belief in one‚ irrational at best. The existence of evil is in juxtaposition with the idea of a Christian‚ omnipotent and wholly good God. Valid concerns may be raised that the problem of evil

Both the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Federal Trade Commission make strong arguments and I agree with both sides. I do not think that advertising plays that much of a huge role in childhood obesity as the Kaiser Family Foundation argues‚ but I do think that it may have a relatively big influence on exposing the child to their interest in food early on. Exposing the child to food targeted to young children such as candies or unhealthy appealing foods will eventually gain the interest of the child

and weak arguments alike. Those who would argue against animal testing have taken a stand due to the way it affects animals. Even in the best circumstances‚ the animals could easily be considered abused. Those in favor of animal testing‚ a quickly waning population‚ don’t seem to deny the abuse that exists. Rather‚ they argue that the pain is justified. To be clear‚ this article isn’t an argument of whether or not they are abused but if it is still justified. Forty years ago the argument against
