=Data analysis=

The data we have chosen in the military applications in the US since the war in Iraq began. This data was collected comparing the troop numbers and the progression of the war. This data shows the great decrease in troop applications. http://www.swivel.com/graphs/show/32837731

This data shows that before the war began there was roughly about 18 thousand troops but when the heat between the US and Iraq intensified the numbers quickly dropped to about 9 thousand in 2004 and steadily continued to decrease to today. In conclusion as the war progressed the number of applications decreased.

Also, there was about 18 thousand people that first had signed up for the military as the years progressed there were less and less people to sign up for the war, not by choice but by the decrease of population. The total number of application for the entire graph was about 53 thousand applications in 6 years that's about 8833 applications a year. Therefore as the number of applications increased it decreased the total number of people to apply.

//A-// Water & yeast //B-// Molasses & Water //C-// Water, Molasses, & yeast -indicator for acids and bases -base/neutral is blue -acid is yellow -CO2+H2O=H2CO3 (carbonic acid) -yes, middle -A and C -B and C
 * What substances are in the vials?**
 * What is Bromothymol Blue?**
 * Is one of the vials filled with molasses?**
 * Which vials have yeast**
 * Which vials have molasses**

The water, molasses, and yeast in flask C reacted with the Bromothymol Blue dye by turning the dye a yellow color stating that it has released carbon dioxide the way a living organism would. The flasks A and B (water and yeast & the water and molasses) did not react because the yeast does not react to water and neither did the molasses meaning that it is the molasses and yeast that reacted differently.

=Monocot & Dicot=

Monocots and Dicots

Differences in seeds Monocot- 1 cotyledon (seed leaf) Dicot- 2 cotyledon “ “ Leaves Monocot- major leaf veins parallel Dicot- reticulated “ “ Roots Monocot-adventitious Dicot- radicle “ “ Flowers Monocot-multiples of 3 Dicot- multiples of 4 or 5 “ “ Stems Monocot- Bundled stem vascular bundles Dicot- ring shaped
