Skeletal Muscle Contraction and Structure
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper describing muscle function and structure. There are several theories of the action of muscle contraction. Though at least two of these theories appear to be more than plausible, the precise mechanism by which muscles contract still is not absolutely known. What is known, however, is that the entire process is biochemically controlled and tightly choreographed to produce the desired result. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Stem Cell Research
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page assertion of the value of stem cell research. Despite the controversy surrounding it, stem cell research has the potential to greatly benefit mankind and the world as a whole. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Stem Cell Research/Not an Ethical Issue
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page research paper/essay that argues that embryonic stem cells research is ethical. The writer bases this argument on the facts of reproduction and also presents the supposition that the real issue here is not stem cell research, per se, but the movement against abortion. The details of stem cell research are presented, along with relevant arguments supporting it. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Stress & Memory/Article Critique
[ send me this essay ]
A 10 page research paper that offers an article critique research performed by Elzinga and Roelofs (2005), which explored the “effects of stress-induced cortisol elevations on working memory” and whether or not this effect is dependent on the level of adrenergic activity, as measured by sympathetic autonomic activation) (Elzinga and Roelofs, 2005, p. 99). The various components of this research are summarized and discussed. The paper also includes a literature review, in appropriate sections of this discussion, that further explores research on this topic. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Taming Fat
[ send me this essay ]
An 8 page paper discussing some of the discoveries associating obesity with genetic predisposition. Obesity is approaching “epidemic” levels in the United States, and along with its increase also are rises in incidence of diabetes. Diabetes’ high blood sugar damages organs, including the heart, kidneys and eyes. Diabetes is in itself a risk factor for heart disease, and we have known for years that high serum cholesterol (i.e., fat) constitutes a separate risk factor for heart disease as well. The purpose here is to trace fat’s progress and examine some of the factors resulting in some people being lean, others becoming obese while practicing very similar dietary habits. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Techniques Used in Cell Biology
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page paper outlines the view that the study of cellular function and the variety of different techniques used in cell biology relate to the complexity of cellular structures. Theorists like Warren Weaver, for example, recognized the concept of “organized complexity” and related this in terms of efforts to provide a rational account of biological organization. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Techniques Used in Cell Biology
[ send me this essay ]
This 15 page paper addresses this major issue. Recent studies have focused on the ability to monitor expression of genes in a bacterium, especially in those bacteria with genome that have been sequenced. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a bacterium that has recently been sequenced, and this study attempts to determine the elements that change the expression, including upregulation and down regulations of the genome of E. coli. This study provides a view of the impacts of environmental conditions (aerobic, anaerobic, microaerobic or the presence of potassium nitrate) on the expression of E. coli-12. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
