Biomass - An Alternative Source of Domestic Energy

In the past century of human history, we have known, almost exclusively, fossil fuels to be our main source of energy. However, before the industrial revolution, mankind existed successfully with biomass as the sole provider of energy. History shows us that biomass is a viable energy source on a basic level, but a century ago, biomass was overtaken by coal, gas, and oil.

X Ray Technologists Or Radiologic Technologists Profiled

Beginning in the early 1900’s, the use of x-rays in medicine marked an immense change in the way that patient anomalies were diagnosed. Using x-ray imaging, physicians were able to see the internal structures in the human body-bony structures, hollow organs, and soft tissues without the use of invasive and dangerous surgical procedures.

Organic Chemistry

Organic chemistry is a branch within chemistry which deals with the study of chemical compounds containing carbon; their formation, their processes, properties, reactions and structure. Formerly, it was popular belief that it was very difficult to artificially synthesize compounds from living organisms. When it was realized later, that even those compounds could be treated in ways similar to the inorganic ones, in laboratories and through artificial processes, organic chemistry gained momentum.

Some Facts About Viruses

Viruses do not have a membrane as all other cells do, and rely on host cells to survive. Viruses can be thought of as sub-cellular parasites which infect living cells and then take over the cell’s metabolic processes to produce more viruses. Viruses are not cells but they contain substances characteristically found only in living cells.
