Imagine a dark place lined with cold metal cages‚ almost like a jail cell. Shivering animals in those crates wait in fear‚ hunger‚ and pain for their next operation. They have no way to escape. This is their lives- every day they wait in agony only to be taken into labs to be poked‚ prodded‚ stabbed‚ hit‚ and grabbed.

Q1. Read the information about the trialling of the first contraceptive pill. The Pill was developed by a team of scientists led by Gregory Pincus. The team needed to carry out large scale trials on humans. In the summer of 1955‚ Pincus visited the island of Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Officials supported birth control as a form of population control. The women in Puerto Rico were mainly poor and uneducated. The scientists selected

MANY PROCESSES MUST TAKE place within the skeletal muscle fibres in order for muscle contraction to occur. The cross bridge cycle‚ process by which the muscle length is shortened as myosin heads‚ extending from the myosin filaments‚ interact cyclically in a rowing motion with the actin filament (Rayment et al. 1993)‚ is one of the crucial mechanical events required. The mechanism is initiated when an ATP molecule is bound to a myosin head. An enzyme within the head. known as ATPase‚ hydrolyzes the
