The Everglades is a natural region of tropical wetlands in the southern portion of the U.S. state of Florida, comprising the southern half of a large drainage basin and part of the neotropic ecozone. The system begins near Orlando with the Kissimmee River, which discharges into the vast but shallow Lake Okeechobee. Water leaving the lake in the wet season forms a slow-moving river 60 miles (97 km) wide and over 100 miles (160 km) long, flowing southward across a limestone shelf to Florida Bay at the southern end of the state. The Everglades experience a wide range of weather patterns, from frequent flooding in the wet season to drought in the dry season. The Seminole Tribe gave the large body of water the name Okeechobee meaning "River of Grass" to describe the sawgrass marshes, part of a complex system of interdependent ecosystems that include cypressswamps, the estuarine mangrove forests of the Ten Thousand Islands, tropical hardwood hammocks, pine rockland, and the marine environment of Florida Bay

Aspirin must enter cells to alleviate pain. Given that the active form of this drug is polar, how does it cross the phospholipid

mestny [16]

The cell membrane is made of two layer of phospholipid called phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipid has a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail. The hydrophilic head stick out on the membrane, pushing polar substance that go inside. Hydrophobic substance would be easily pass through the membrane while the hydrophilic doesn't.

If the active form of this drug is polar, then the substance would be hydrophilic. The drug should pass the membrane through active transport like carrier mediated transport or endocytosis.

Forensic Anthropologist determine whether the bones provide evidence of the cause of death, to identify any individualistic features in the skeleton, and to estimate the time since death. The human pelvis provides the most reliable means for determining the sex of skeletal remains.
While bioarchaeologists usually analyze skeletal samples of many individuals. Bioarchaeologists are archaeologists who specialize in the study of skeletal remains at archaeological sites. The physical and chemical inspection of bones have the capacity to reveal a wide range of information about past peoples and societies, such as: Health. Diet. Lifestyle.
