Science & Mathematics - 10 February 2007

At some point such and such billions of years ago all matter in the universe was condensed into a very small lump of extremely dense material. Then, BOOM. The universe is born. Thats all fine and dandy, but I have to ask: where did this little lump of ultra dense matter come from? Also, when I picture this lump of matter in my head, I see this clump of matter floating in space, but some proponents of the theory claim the big bang created space and time. So, what is this clump of matter floating in? Nothing? How can nothing contain something? Likewise, what is the universe expanding into? If I am to believe that the big bang created an ever enlargening bubble of space inside of nothing? Again, nothing containing something? At the edge of this event there is nothing? Does this really make sense to any of you? BOOMING VOICE: In the beginning, there was nothing......except a clump of ultra dense matter, floating like a turd in the nothingness. Then the turd exploded...........

Conjugation mapping can be used to locate genes on a bacterial chromosome. In this example, the F+ strain is able to synthesize methionine, valine, leucine, and histidine. The F- strain is unable to synthesize these amino acids; therefore, they must be supplied in the growth medium. Use the results from replica-plating to answer the questions.

I'm doing a project on designing a marketable product as my University requirement. The cluster is environment. My group have come up with an idea of creating a material for roof , much of it comprising of human hair. What kind of advantage do you think we can get from human hair? i.e, The hair properties, heat resistance, etc.

They look like little mini meerkats and can be seen popping in and out of holes in the ground all over the roadside and desert. They are not prairie dogs as they are much smaller than that. Anyone know their real name?

1. Heating ice is an endothermic process which increases the internal energy of the system

2. Evaporation is an endothermic process because the system is absorbing energy.

3. The water in the system is undergoing a reversible process at 273K and 1 atm pressure. Under these conditions, both melting and freezing may occur.

4. Condensation is an exothermic process because the system gives off energy.

5. The melting of ice is an exothermic process because the system absorbs energy.

6.The freezing of water is an endothermic process because the system absorbs energy.

7. As steam condenses, the surroundings are absorbing energy from the system.

I said 1,2,3,4 are trues and 5,6,7 are falses.
But these are wrong answers.
Could anyone please help me with this ASAP??
