My blog will be on neuro criminology.It is a subject that is related to my program(biology) and my passion(criminology).People who will be interested in my blog are those who are passionate about psychology,true crime,and police affairs,or even people who want to work in this environment.This blog allows me to publish several posts that will be related to my passion.I will take care of my writing thanks to sites like Grammarly or The Virtual Writing Tutor.I will share my blog with my class and we will make comments to each others.In case of errors,the reader can always send me a message to let me know my error.
- chemistry
- noun
- the branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed; the investigation of their properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change; and the use of these processes to form new substances.
- Example: My favorite class is chemistry.
- fr: Chimie
- molecule
- noun
- a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.
- Example: The total energy required to fix one CO 2 MOLECULE is 4 ATP plus two NADPH (2).
- fr: molécule
- anatomy
- noun
- the branch of science concerned with the bodily structure of humans, animals, and other living organisms, especially as revealed by dissection and the separation of parts.
- Example: Facial bones has resulted in much reduced facial anatomy.
- fr: anatomie
- solution
- noun
- A liquid mixture in which the minor component (the solute) is uniformly distributed within the major component (the solvent).
- Example: A solution was made in the Chemistry laboratory.
- fr: solution
- diagram
- noun
- A simplified drawing showing the appearance, structure, or workings of something; a schematic representation.
- Example: I have drawn a diagram representing the rate of change in the price of food over the last ten years.
- fr: diagramme
- photosynthesis
- noun
- The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
- Example: Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.
- Stoichiometry
- noun
- The relationship between the relative quantities of substances taking part in a reaction or forming a compound, typically a ratio of whole integers.
- Example: In Greek, stoikhein means element and metron means measure, so stoichiometry literally translated means the measure of elements.
- fr: Stœchiométrie
- thermal
- adjective
- Relating to heat.
- Example: I put on my thermal leggings, long socks and the rest of my clothes.
- fr: thermique
- Electricity
- noun
- a form of energy resulting from the existence of charged particles (such as electrons or protons), either statically as an accumulation of charge or dynamically as a current.
- Example: Electricity can be sold to the grid for 2 p per kWh.
- fr: Électricité
- chromosome
- noun
- A threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
- Example: They study the chromosome cells to determine likely speed, muscular strength and velocity.
- fr: Chromosome
- equation
- noun
- A statement that the values of two mathematical expressions are equal (indicated by the sign =).
- Example: Something is wrong with the equation.
- fr: équation
- carbohydrate
- noun
- any of a large group of organic compounds that includes sugars, starch, and cellulose, containing hydrogen and oxygen in the same ratio as water (2:1) and used as structural materials and for energy storage within living tissues.
- Example: Our teacher said that there are fifteen grams of carbohydrate in one small piece of fresh fruit.
- fr: Glucides
- mechanical
- noun
- The working parts of a machine, especially a car.
- Example: The flight was delayed because of mechanical problems.
- fr: Mécanique
- laboratory
- noun
- A room or building equipped for scientific experiments, research, or teaching, or for the manufacture of drugs or chemicals.
- Example: The laboratory was reorganized as a separate establishment.
- fr: Laboratoire
- Vegetation
- noun
- plants considered collectively, especially those found in a particular area or habitat.
- Example: The mountaintops were bare of any vegetation.
- fr: Végétation
- starch
- Noun
- an odorless, tasteless white substance occurring widely in plant tissue and obtained chiefly from cereals and potatoes. It is a polysaccharide which functions as a carbohydrate store and is an important constituent of the human diet.
- Example: Corn starch is used as a thickener in stews.
- fr: Amidon
- test tube
- noun
- a thin glass tube closed at one end, used to hold small amounts of material for laboratory testing or experiments.
- Example: He mixed boric acid with silicone oil in a test tube.
- fr: Éprouvette
- kinetic
- adjective
- relating to or resulting from motion.
- Example: The balance of these federations is kinetic.
- fr: cinétique
- fermentation
- Noun
- the chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat.
- Example: Survival under these oxygen-free conditions requires arginine fermentation or denitrification by the use of nitrate or nitrite.
- fr: fermentation
- research
- noun
- the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions.
- Example: She conducts research into the causes of Alzheimer's disease.
- fr: Recherche
