Responsibility for Eva Smith's Death An Inspector Calls by J.B Priestly, a play, which was first, performed in 1945. The play was set in 1912 before World War I. The play centres’ around the wealthy Birling family. A visit from a mysterious Inspector Goole becomes a horrifying experience for the Birlings’, as they learn that they have all played a part in the suicide of a young girl called Eva Smith. She died by swallowing some strong disinfected in an infirmary. Priestley’s main aim was to encourage people to take responsibility for their actions, not to shift the blame on to others. Although each member of the Birling family and Gerald Croft have had contact with Eva Smith, none of them were aware of the others´ involvement in the tragedy until the day of the inspector’s visit. He makes each of them aware of the part they had played that lead to her tragic end. The characters each reacted differently to the news and the degree of responsibility contributing to the death varied between them. They all through their selfishness had shown to contribute to Eva Smiths’ decision to kill herself. We must remember it wasn’t a crime. No one should be held responsible. It’s a moral issue. It was not only people that contributed to Eva Smith’s death but her position in the world and the way in which her life worked out. Mr Birling, a wealthy capitalist man, and a ‘rather portentious man,’ was the first person to be investigated. Mr.Birling didn't care about any of his workers, and didn't know them at all, as he says proudly, 'I have a couple of hundred workers under me, who keep changing.’ This clearly showed that there was no personal or business relationship with Eva Smith. Mr. Birling told the Inspector that all the workers had just returned from holiday and had become very restless. They demanded for a pay rise or would go on strike. She was making trouble as Mr Birling said, ‘She had a lot to say, far too much so she had to go.’ Personally, I don’t believe that Mr Birling did anything wrong towards Eva Smith. He only had sacked her from his factory because she had started to cause trouble by demanding higher wages. Anyone in his position would have done the same. Though Mr Birling may sound innocent there is much to judge of his character. He seems to be a very hard man, and shows no regret for dismissing Eva Smith, despite knowing, that if he had sacked her she may still have been alive. The effect of dismissing Eva Smith from her

Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis are both cellular processes in which organisms use to obtain energy. However, photosynthesis coverts the light obtained from the sun and turns it into a chemical energy of sugar and oxygen. As for cellular respiration is a biochemical process in which the energy obtained from chemical bonds from food. They are both seem the same since they are essential to life, but they are very different processes and not all living things use both to survive ("Difference Between Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration", 2017). In this paper I will go over the different processes for photosynthesis and the processes
Humans, and all animals, use adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as the main energy source in cells. The authors of Biological Science 5th edition said that “In general, a cell contains only enough ATP [adenosine triphosphate] to last from 30 seconds to a few minutes”. It is that way “Because it has such high potential energy, ATP is unstable and is not stored”. They also state that “In an average second, a typical cell in your body uses an average of 10 million ATP molecules and synthesizes [makes] just as many”. In the human body trillions of cells exist. The average human body uses and makes 10,000,000,000,000,000 molecules of ATP every second. In one minute the human body uses 600,000,000,000,000,000 molecules of ATP. In one day the human body uses 864,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules of ATP. In one year, this is equivalent to 365.25 days; the average human body uses and makes a huge amount, 315,576,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules of ATP. For this example one mile is equal to one molecule of ATP. Light travels at approximately 186,000 mi/sec. It would take light roughly 53,763,440,860 years to travel that many miles. The sheer amount of ATP made in the cells of people is amazing! This essay will explain somewhat the main way of making all of those ATP molecules in aerobic organisms, aerobic cellular respiration. There are four steps that take place in aerobic cellular respiration, and they are: 1.Glycolysis; 2. Pyruvate Processing; 3. Citric Acid Cycle; 4. Electron Transport and Oxidative Phosphorylation (Allison, L. A. , Black, M. , Podgoroski, G. , Quillin, K. , Monroe, J. , Taylor E. 2014).
All living organisms require energy. In order to obtain energy, cells within the organisms must go through the processes of cellular respiration and/or fermentation. The way in which “oxidation of glucose leads to ATP production” is emphasized in cellular respiration (Freeman et al., 2014).

Cellular respiration – “is the set of the metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products” (definition)
Cellular respiration is the ability of a cell in an organism to metabolize chemicals in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main energy molecule of the cell. There are two forms of cellular respiration. Chemotrophic respiration, which is used by animals and phototrophic respiration (a.k.a. photosynthesis) used by plants and fungi. Chemotrophic respiration requires oxygen to efficiently make ATP and gives off carbon dioxide as a waste product. Photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and gives off oxygen as a waste product. Further analysis of these two types of respiration will show why these processes are related and how they differ.
... a weighed Nalgene bottle and spread in a layer on a side of the bottle and then reweighed. A carbon dioxide sensor will be placed on the bottle opening. Using Lab Quest recorder, data will be collected for five minutes. After, the slope of the carbon dioxide production will be indicated and it will be used to calculate the rate of carbon dioxide was produced. The slope that indicates how much carbon dioxide was produced will be converted to milliliters per hour. Then, moles of gas shall be calculated. For 1 mole of carbon dioxide produced, 5.33 moles of ATP was produced (UCR Winter 2014 Bio 05LA Lab Manual: Lab#6, pg.4). The rate will be used to measure the corn seedlings metabolic rate with yeast cells rate after calculations.
Cellular respiration is the method of breaking down organic molecules to release their stored energy. Plants and animals use cellular respiration to use energy. Aerobic respiration is the release of energy from glucose or another organic substrate in the presence of oxygen while anaerobic does not require oxygen. Cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondrion. The three phases of cellular respiration are glycolysis (fermentation), krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Carbon dioxide and water are products of the series of reactions involved in cellular respiration. Fermentation is one catabolic process that is a degradation of sugars that occurs without the use of oxygen (Campbell and Reece, 2008). These pathways help generate energy to fuel thousands of chemical tasks in a cell. Fermentation by yeast is used to make beer, wine and bake bread. This process is summarized by:
During internal respiration, energy, known as ATP, is also released. This is used in many reactions within the cells. Energy needed by the body is stored in food and the process of tissue respiration releases this energy. The oxygen oxidises glucose and produces energy. This is known as aerobic respiration. The equation for the oxidation of glucose is;
