Studying the folding patterns of protein molecules can help microbiologists better understand cellular processes as well as some

diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, that are caused by proteins that have misfolded. The folding of these complicated molecules can be simulated on computers, but it takes a lot of processor power and time for even expensive supercomputers to do this. A group of researchers at Stanford University developed software that can be used to distribute the processing of data to anyone who is willing to donate time on their idle personal computers. As a result, the researchers have been able to achieve protein-folding simulations that are far better than those other computing methods have done. Which statement best describes
a the work of these researchers? The work is not scientific because the data are not processed in one location.

b The work is not scientific because the simulations are not reproducible.

c The researchers applied creativity to solve a problem in running an experiment.

d The researchers used only well-established scientific techniques.

The best answer in this case is C, "the researchers applied creativity to solve a problem in running an experiment".

Distributing the computing load across the global community by sharing processing power is a creative response to tackle the challenge in simulating protein folding for the experiment. This does not change or reduce the scientific merits of the experiment, so we can discount the first two answers (a & b). Answer d talks about well established scientific techniques, although the question wasn't really centered around the specific techniques, so it's not as relevant an answer as C.

A gardener is installing several large flower beds. The flower beds will vary in length from 5 to 12 feet. Depending on the type
dezoksy [38]

The gardener should address the measurements he needs to make so that planting information is clear, and that the roots are spaced to grow.

<h3>How to calculate amount of landscaping plants?</h3>

 just divide the area of the bed by the area occupied by the seedling and we will have the total amount of seedlings to be used. In this way, we also understand that the area occupied by the seedling is equal to the spacing between seedlings raised to the square.

<h3>How to calculate the spacing between plants?</h3>

If we plant with a spacing of 0.60 meters, the number of seeds per meter will be calculated as follows: Being 1 hectare = 10,000 square meters and the spacing between rows of 0.60 m, we have the equivalent of a range of 0, 60 meters by 16,667 linear meters (10,000 divided by 0.60).

With this information, we can conclude that the area occupied by the seedling is equal to the spacing between seedlings raised to the square.

There are two different species of finch that live on the same small island, species A andspecies
frosja888 [35]

On the islands of the Galapagos lives a group of birds called finches. There are 13 species in this group. These species have diverse ecologies--some eat seeds, some eat insects, some eat fruit, and some even eat cactus. Although the bodies of these species look fairly similar, their beaks are very different. That is because it is their beak that is adapted to these diverse ways of feeding (Figure 8.14).
