Thanks for your comment. The term "only" is appropriate if you think students would be naïvely comparing the efficiency of ATP production to 100%, but inappropriate if you think students are comparing efficiency to other energy transformations. I leave it to each individual teacher to edit the sentence according to what will be most helpful for their students.

is there a answer key yet i'm in desperate need of it

The Student Handout has been substantially revised to engage students in more active learning and clarify the instructions, questions and explanations. In addition we have sharpened the focus on how genes are inherited via meiosis and fertilization. 

While it was fascinating (and slightly embarrassing) to learn that we have known since 2003 that approximately 29 ATP molecules are produced per glucose, not 36-38, I must take issue with the connected statement that "Only about 30%the energy released by the cellular respiration of glucose is captured in the production of ATP..." Despite the drop from 40% to 30%, as is my understanding, CR, and ATP Synthase particularly, is still the most efficient engine as far as retaining energy not lost to heat on Earth.

I have been studying this phenomenon for the past 12 years and the more I learn of it , it is not a brain dysfunction at all. It is a manipulation, a matter of mind control or study. It always may be directed in a trance of dimensional passengers in which is also apart of a focused study. You are awake during this time but your mind is in a sedative state in which you cannot focus on your stimulation impulses to move, It appears as a dream due to your lack of memory.

I am 21..had an unprotected sex with my boyfriend ..had been 23days pregnant..went to a medicine shop..got mifegest kit..took mifepristone..within a few hours my vaginaccount started releasing some white secretions and along with that a small sac of the size of three-fourth of an inch was expelled..further when I took two pills of mifeprostol..only light bleeding with spots began bit no heavy bleeding..moreover the abdominal cramps are growing less in it's intensity..I'm worried that why I am not bleeding profusely even within 24 hours of taking mifeprostol..
It's a request that if anyone has any solution plz do notify me with your suggestion
Am in severe mental stress

The cross-dressing part was necessary, because it was illegal to for her to join. That’s just historical facts. There is no “deep symbolism” of her “abandoning her femininity”. In fact in the movie you can see how she tried to act “like a man” and completely failed, and her mannerism and behaviour returns to what she was before. The whole point is the sociefy doesn’t let her do what she wants, so she found a loophole (cros-dressing) to get around that barrier so she can prove she can do it, and the she revealed herself to be a girl, breaking the notion that girls can’t be a soldier.

She didn’t magically changed into another person when she is in different cloths. Actually quite from the movie “You trusted me as Ping, why is Mulan different”. And did you just ignore the whole ending of the movie? Mulan climbed up the pulled in the place dressed like a girl, with her male comrades cross-dressing as girls, then fought and killed the villain in a dress, as a girl.

Seriously it’s like you didn’t watch the movie at all. It’s message is the complete opposite of what you are making it to be. A criticism based on cherry-picked details isn’t a valid criticism.

I am 60 yrs old and have been experiencing this since I was in my 30s. Last night I had one , I woke up and I was awake but I couldnt get out any words, I felt like I was paralized. It is such a weird feeling, I used to be scaredwhen I would get them, now I know I will be ok so I just let it happen. I dont see anything or hear anything I just cannot speak and cannot move but Im awake. Im glad I found this page and can relate with these people. Sometimes I try to explain it to someone and they look at me as if im nuts. Ill check back often.

i am so sorry for your loss.:(

This may be much to do about a consideration already taken into consideration, or pointing out a gross oversight.
As guest who has not read book I can only comment off of whats mentioned:
> defense of a concept based on Observation of a set of Paintings {vs. knowing Monet's bio. info}
Cataract's > have affects before <> Brain Processing
> "Altered Hues, & Focus" before Monet's retinas is a bit of common Art History Knowledge w/ Monet.

*I am wondering why "Claude's Cater act's are Not Mentioned" in such work & a review of it
[but perhaps this is such "Common Knowledge" that it not need be spoken of]
A book ending last & chapter long "Discussion of Monet Brain & possible Brain Abnormalities"
or more likely inability to see colors. Cataracts YES, & "dyschromatopsic" ?
Art History Prof noted:
"It's an understatement with Claude (Monet) being 'Very Disappointed w/ his SEEING his works in the Public Domain' that he viewed after his cataract surgeries !"
A fellow artist in Impressionist time frame of note is quoted on topic of Visual Art is ...
"Not What You See - What You Make Others See."
Monet's paintings "Created w/ Perception Influenced by Cataracts" while they did do this accurate to what he perceived & painted to communicate in pigment when made &/or sold w/ cataracts end up to be a richer in red hues record of his experience !
Of this paintings that Claude still had in his personal possession it is known altered some w/ over painting parts of paintings after cataracts were removed
[ this gives us a insight to this state of altered vision as experienced by Monet. What Claude accepted of this altered state of Blur + it seems like a late 21 Century Country 'song title' w/in bit of its phrasing
" these 'Rose Colored Glasses' show only the beauty- while they hide all the the truth"
It a record of this repainting of what little done
" hues he painted in water, flowers, & atmospherics,... he could live with Rosy Filtered to his Brain & Ptgs. Created {or/& as his "buying pubic expected"}, but of some ptgs. w/ "lily pads" in them > to leave behind as his legacy & time of "What Monet Seen & Felt He Wanted Others to See, Feel, Understand"
as record of Claude's additions to 'Modern Human Cultural History & Personal Legacy'
> check Wikipedia for Claude's Cataracts being Art Historians Esoteric Knowledge
{I have yet to cross reference}
info that Claude repainted 'Lily Pads' to reflect his cataract free perception of " Hues more Blue "

So as to Monet's old age "INNER VISION" before Cataract surgeries
Imagine yourself in dark rose colored glasses is easy analogy for all
But for a deeper Observed layers of subtle local color > nature observation of leaves changing in fall a few develop areas of "Muddy Darkness" as chlorophyll is no longer needed. When leaf Color Change happens in Northern Latitudes. The areas of "Mud Red/Brown" on a green leaf" as chlorophyll breaks down > Muddy combos of reflected red & green to area retinas > becomes a "Vibrant Red & any just green areas typically a Vibrant Yellow". Photo Pigments created by plant in the Sun are "Nuanced Local Colors" w/in the Density of Green Chlorophyll
> these subtle "local colors" are needed if one is by hand and eye creating precision of Photo-realism or Surrealism.

[of paintings he still had control of]

First: Let me declare I'm a male with years of experience in wearing the 4"+ high stiletto pumps I have found pleasingly attractive and comfortable. I'm also in a constant quest to find more of these heels, because my desire to wear them in my younger years was socially denied - leaving my desires unfulfilled. This caused me into becoming secretively deceitful to get any short term satisfaction to wear any pairs of heels in open solitude or behind closed doors as I schemed or randomly came upon opportunities, until I was able to live on my own. I knew I wanted to wear this style of footwear and no social edict, discipline, or attitude could change or abolish my desire. My simple desire to wear high heels had become an obsession, which society has so conveniently labeled for its purpose - a fetish as it intended to degrade this natural human characteristic when they are males.

Now, as far as the claims and thoughts of high heels being only feminine procurements are obviously the results from the focused promotions of the social attitude that deemed only women had the styling sense and proclivity to wear them. Many studies and speculative reasoning that seem viable have contributed to reinforced this feminine claim, but these have been biased according to the popular social understandings and attitudes of our present fashion dictations. Originally, nature afforded each person with the ability to know what and how they wanted to adorn their appearance as self-expressions. With the emergence of society and status systems, this personal choice was taken away as an individual right and used by those of power and wealth to make class, gender, and role distinctions to create a control of sorts. This practice became the traditional way civilizations operates. Violating any natural laws have consequences. By trying to control what people wear, an atmosphere of enslavement and bullying was created. Now, if you don't follow the standards of dress that are based on stereotyping, some people tend to think you are perverted and trying to identify as or with other genders when all you are actually doing is being who you are as nature intended the idea of appareling to function.

Being bullied or enslaved in most capacities has received many words of opposition and for abolishment, but the practice of controlling what each person wears continues at some level or attitude. There are places and times for certain attire to be worn for safety, survival, and/or comradery concerns, however, when these temporary conditions no longer apply, people automatically have their freedom to choose what they wear.

I was completely overjoyed to read the list of visitors' comments about their unique non recall of names, epecially of actors and actresses! This is a common entry point of conversation among friends, relatives, and new acquaintances!
What an embarrassing journey it has been since about my early 20's. Initially I thought my inability to remember distant relatives' names was a lack of interest or indifference. And, at age 68, I continue to struggle with name recall of family members at the cousin level and beyond, and, also actor and actress names, regardless of how recently I saw their film, read an article, or hear a news report about them. This is so embarrassing as I am cut off from contributing to many conversations, and spontaneous social conversation, interaction and speaking.
I now find it difficult to recall street names and particularly dates of appointments that I have discussed with my husband as well as having written down in a small calendar I keep in my purse. Writing things down does seem, however, to help a little with recall. Recently I listed all the vitamins and supplements for post cancer for a niece, and as I write, I cannot recall the definitions and purpose of any of the vitamins that I researched and wrote down on a 3 page document just yesterday. What frustration!
Thanks for letting me vent and letting me know of any new discovery of aids or rx for this very annoying condition,

I have a classic case of Unipolar mania. I have been misdiagnosed with bipolar II for several years. I am seldom if ever depressed but live in a constant state of Hypomania. From this, I have severe insomnia. I wish the psychiatric field would recognize this as a legitimate disorder because I am tired of being misdiagnosed and put on meds that never work.

Dear friend of serendip,

I’ve removed your name from the comment, and search engines will now re-index the page so it will be removed from their caches. This holds true of all search engines, not just Google.

Best wishes,
