Hitler is said to have given more than 5000 speeches and it took him two years to perfect his craft and become the master of oratory. He created the persona the world would later distinguish as the Führer. Born and raised in a middle class family, young

The behaviorist in this magazine article states “an animal cooperates when; they learn it is in their interest to cooperate.” There are possible tricks as to why learning movement or language can become so enduring to them, yet if

    As we examine Glycolysis, remember these are biological reactions. They are catalyzed by enzymes. Kinases, dehydrogenases and isomerases are important enzymes in Glycolysis. Kinases transfer a phosphate functional group to or from ATP (a very important nucleotide triphosphate), and you are already familiar with what dehydrogenases and isomerases do. A variety of hexoses (Energy-containing sugars), including fructose and galactose can be funneled into glycolysis and broken down for energy. The dehydrogenases: glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase and alcohol dehydrogenase all use NAD (a vitamin) to oxidize the substrate and obtain NADH, an important Energy-carrying molecule.
