Bison bison, or simply bison, have an average body mass of 579 kg. They are herbivores, mainly surviving on prairie grass. Bison are selective grazers, and never remain in one place for long. This means they do not overgraze any one area. The hooves of bison leave indentions in the land where they travel. These indentions in the earth help trap moisture and rain fall necessary for plants to survive upon. The upturned earth also aids in burying seeds. Larger indentions may also be created when a bison

sequence of amino acids and their three-dimensional structure. There are four distinct structures a protein can have which are primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary. As proteins begin to form during the primary stage they start out in a linear chain of amino acids. In the secondary structure the linear chain of amino acids begins to twist. In the tertiary structure the amino acid chains continue to fold and twist and form bonds from disulfide bridges, which are made of two sulfur atoms. In the final

When you think of a typical college student you may think of a young adult around 18 to 22 years old. You may also think of someone with little world experience that’s off on their own for the first time in their short life. Surprisingly, there has been a recent phenomenon with an increase in older people now attending post-secondary education, specifically the baby boomer generation. Libby Sander, a staff reporter at the Chronicle of Higher Education, explores this topic in an article called “Blue-Collar
In my family, I was always expected to go to college right after high school, but I didn’t know it was going to be expensive. College tuition is very expensive, and graduating with debt is becoming highly common nowadays. The two essays I chose for this paper are Andrew Hacker/Claudia Dreifus’s “Are Colleges Worth the Price of Admission”?, and Kevin Carey’s “Why Do You Think They’re Called For-Profit Colleges”?. Because they have similar messages that they both are trying to inform us about. But

Full scholarships are almost impossible to receive and smaller scholarships seldom cover enough of the cost of college for that college to be an affordable option. Even if one is valedictorian in high school and receives superb SAT/ACT scores, a helpful scholarship is not guaranteed and they may be forced to live at home and attend the neighborhood college instead of attending
After graduation of my high school, I’ve decided not to attend college. I spent over three months preparing for college admissions. Over three months of studying for the SAT and writing essays for colleges. But, all this hard work was blown away in just a week. The week before the May 1st, the decision day, I had made my decision not to attend college. I have decided to return to my country and start working. Of course, there was a strong disagreement from my parents, but I didn’t hesitate. For the

Unlike the tertiary structure of a protein, these secondary structures do not dictate function. The tertiary structures of a protein fall into two major classes: the fibrous proteins and the globular proteins. The fibrous proteins are usually found with membranes. Globular proteins, on the other hand are typically water-soluble like myoglobin. The tertiary structure of a protein compiles to from the quaternary structure of proteins. The quaternary structure is comprised of multiple tertiary structure
Before taking this course, I had not thought about the transitioning process to post-secondary education or work-force. Even though I had previously worked with adults with disabilities, I was not aware of all the work that goes into making sure these adults have the most normal and independent life possible.

As one reads the primary sources they realize that the Information they are given is rather descriptive in comparison to the Textbook. I for one think that primary sources are more superior when wanting to describe in depth a certain event in the eyes of the person who wrote the descriptive piece of information whereas the textbook relies more on factual information rather than descriptive information. In chapter 2 of the textbook the chapter makes mention to the start of exploration by the spanish
