Summary Introduction

To write:

The reason for recognizing the object presented to the right cerebral hemisphere in a split-brain patient even after not seeing it.

Introduction:

The brain is formed of two cerebral hemispheres. These hemispheres are divided by a furrow known as the longitudinal fissure. The brain is therefore usually described as the right and left cerebral hemispheres. The nervous system can be defined as a highly complex portion of an animal which directs its actions and sensory messages by transmitting signals to and from diverse body parts.

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.     How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population? Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?   Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
Other than oil and alcohol, are there other liquids you could compare to water (that are liquid at room temperature)? How is water unique compared to these other liquids? What follow-up experiment would you like to do, and how would you relate it to your life?
