San Francisco de los Tejas is another one of the first missions. It was the first mission built in East Texas. It was called Tejas because they had met Hasinai people along the Colorado River. The word Tejas means "friend". The Tejas mission was built after the Spanish found out about La Salle's fort. Tejas was built out of logs, unlike many of the missions. This was probably so because it was built in the Piney Woods or Post Oak Belt subregion. Trees in these subregions are plentiful. Tejas had been intended for the Caddo tribe. The Caddo were the most advanced tribe and didn't need the food, protection, or shelter the priests offered. Without the Caddo's support the mission was failing greatly. The Spanish government decided to stop funding money for the mission. Before the priests went back to Mexico, they buried the bell and hoped to return one day.
Osmosis is the facilitated diffusion of water across the cell membrane of a cell. The inside layer of the cell membrane is hydrophilic, meaning water cannot easily pass through the membrane. The cell membrane has to have aquaporins, which are water channel proteins, that move the water across the membrane. If there is a water and salt solution outside the cell, the salt can enter the cell by diffusion, but the cell membrane is not permeable to the water. Because there is more solute solution inside the cell, there is less water. The aquaporins move the water across the membrane until equilibrium is reached.
“The Mission” is based on a true story that occurred around the borderlands of Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil in the years 1750’s according to the film and history. The Treaty of Madrid of 1750 with the Spanish and Portuguese caused both havoc and death for the people of the Guarini and the members of the Jesuits.

All of Mar’s water has been absorbed by its crust making the planet habitable, concluded Oxford scientists. Water is a very important factor that is needed for survival in the human world. The planet had water about three billion years ago. It was very much like Earth three billion years ago. According to Cbsnews.com life may have existed at that time, but not much evidence supports it.But now Mars became cold , dry , inhospitable . For life to exist the celestial body would need the conditions, and space organizations would need the right technology.
With the ever growing concern that the world’s water supply is dwindling, property law and the concept of legal personhood is being applied to the situation in order to create a solution to preserve the water quality and supply. Economists like Garrett Hardin and Elinor Ostrom have also shared their ideas in relation to issue of water conservation. All of this, combined with the legal cases that have already been argued in relation to water, create various viewpoints and solutions to the issue of water pollution and supply.
Operation: A hydrometer is a measurement instrument used to measure the relative density of liquids, the ratio of a density of a liquid to the density of water.
When looking at Earth from space it is immersed in blue, that is because water covers about 75 percent of Earth’s surface. Water is a necessity to sustain life on Earth, which sets Earth apart from other planets in our solar system. Water is the only substance that can occur naturally and change states from a liquid, solid, and gas. Therefore, Earth’s water is constantly moving from these states in the ocean, land, and to the atmosphere. The presence of water on, in, and above the Earth is known as the water cycle.
