Joey is studying chemistry and is learning about solutions. He thought that all solutions were the same. He now knows that in addition to solutions that there are colloids and suspensions and that different types of filters can be used to separate the particulate matter from suspensions and colloids. Joey’s […]

NASA has identified a new microbe present on Mars and requests that you determine the genetic code of this organism. To accomplish this goal, you isolate an extract from this microbe that contains all the components necessary for protein synthesis except mRNA. Synthetic mRNAs are added to this extract and […]
