    Maths : State the empirical rule ( statistics)

    An empirical theory of perception is a kind of explanation for how percepts arise. These theories hold that sensory systems incorporate information about the statistical properties of the natural world into their design and relate incoming stimuli to this information, rather than analyzing sensory stimulation into its components or features.

    Give 1 benefit and 1 disadvantage of the EMU for Ireland?


  • Registered Users Posts: 941 ✭✭✭11Charlie11


    EMU - Benefit:When trading in the Eurozone there is no change of currency required which reduces business costs as there is no bank charges on foreign currency.

    Disadvantage: Interest rates are controlled by the European Central Bank which may not always suit the development of the Irish economy.

    Biology:
    What is the difference between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells and give an example of each?

    Not exactly, I should've said finding the slope of the tangent to a curve.

    There's a word for it :P

    OK........this thread has been dead for way to long, time for a new question.
    BIOLOGY:
    State the different phases in cell division and give a brief description of each of these phases.

    Interphase: the phase in which the cell is not dividing.
    Prophase: nuclear membranes break downand spind fibres form
    Metaphae: spindle form attach to the chromosmes and the chromosomes first line up along the centre of the cell
    Anaphase: the spindle fibres contract and split the chromosmes
    Telaphase: nuclear membranes form around the the chromosomes
    Either a cleavage furrow forms between the cells (Animal cell).
    Or a cell plate forms down the cell (plant).
    Two new cells are formed.

    Nucleus (chromatin threads) mitochondria and chloroplast.

    Tricky one :p, the contractile vacuole expels excess water in Amoeba ? And plants dont need them as the have vessels : Xylem. The xylem transports water around the plant also plants lose water through a process known as transpiration ? not 100% on this :P

    I hope not, got asked this one on my Christmas exam today ;)
    Plants don't need one as they have a cell wall which prevents the cell from becoming turgid.

    Sure give us another question anyway.

    Plasmolysis is the contraction of cells within plants due to the loss of water through osmosis

    What is the first stage of respiration called?
