erm curious? lol, well i just got up so that might explain alot...

in the future do you think its possible to geneticaly engeneer aminal cells to have chloroplasts?

yes i remember something like that, thats were i got it from. from my notes: Testing a leaf for starch 1. dip the leaf into boiling water the soften it. 2. heat up some ethanol and dip the leaf into it. 3. put the leaf back into the water to soften it again 4. drop on iodine solution.

thanks guys, i think i might borrow a few sterile needles off my grandad. have to try that comb thing though...

Well i want to begin studying forensic science for a bit, ive watched Quincy and CSI and shows like that for a while. Im wondering if theres any good online or mail order stores (UK) that carry things such as Luminol (C8H7O3N3)and other things you might see on TV. I seen in another thread someone is doing a science degree with forensic science or something and I just wonder if your doing a profesional degree do you do all the science stuff or is it mostly law? and is things different in england because ive heard there are SOCO's (scence of the crime officers) that collect the evidence and then deposit it back at a lab? An how does Luminol actually work? react with the heme in the blood? If it helps i think the compound is (C8H7O3N3).

i also heard you can do stuff with chromatography? (typo)

Im Andy, i like the x files, forensics, radioactivity and most science. Eh? its beigning to sound like a AA meeting.....

i was gonna ask bout on the heating of dilute acid but someone already said that the gas would be nasty. and also is there any chance of it setting alight while heating. i remember in school a few weeks ago, we were heating sulphuric acid for a base + salt experiment (along the lines of that i forgot the details) and before we added the base to the acid it went up.

i might try that but i always get electrocuted when i have taken apart a disposiable camera...

can you extract amylase from saliv? i remember in science we were timing the digestion process of certain foods, and the science teacher said we cant use our own saliva we have to use the stuff in the bottle, but isnt that just saliva?

boot up your xp cd and enter the recovery console and type the command fixmbr and that should do it. i wouldnt really recomend you haveing longhorn as your main os though.

well i find the linux distros suse and mandrake exelent for home use, but if your going for a server id say red hat / fedora. but mandrake and suse still have all the server softwares and everything.

i think that version is still in beta so its not worth using really until the final release (prob a few years). im just waiting for xp sp2.the advantages to longhorn would be a better gui and a few new features probably. ive noticed over the years they are making the gui look more like liunx and mac as they look and feel more comfortable.

whats a good power for a microscope for looking at blood smears? also ive been recomended to use a mixture of mehylene blue with eosin to get a good colour contrast, so will the red blood cells just be pink (no nucliei) and while cells will be pink with a blue center and then the plasma will be light pink right? and whats the ratio of white blood cells to red? also is there any other tests i could do on the blood, i think i could do glucose with my grandads deiabitis machine or is that for something else?

only heard of it from ross in friends, rocks arnet usually the highlight of my week when we do physics ,

Paleontologys rocks right?

hate to bring up a old thread . well im new here so hiy!, erm i was just wondering for places in the uk aswell, im really stuck for getting hold of labware (pyrex ect..) and the basic elements. ive seen some sites but they are only us.
