Antoine Lavoisier performed his classic twelve-day experiment in 1779 which has become famous in history. First, Lavoisier heate

d pure mercury in a
swan-necked retort over a charcoal furnace for twelve days. A red oxide of mercury was formed on the surface of the mercury in the retort. When no
more red powder was formed, Lavoisier noticed that about one-fifth of the air had been used up and that the remaining gas did not support life or
burning. Lavoisier called this latter gas azote (Greek 'a' and 'zoe' - without life). He removed the red oxide of mercury carefully and heated it in a
similar retort. He obtained exactly the same volume of gas as disappeared in the last experiment
Lavoisier's experiments use the scientific, method of finding out the nature of an unknown substance by analysis, breaking down, and synthesis, and
then building it up again from its constituents. In his experiments Lavoisier separated air into two constituents: the one which supports life and
combustion, and is one-fifth by volume of air he called oxygen, the other four.fifths which is now called nitrogen. From the two gases he synthesized
something that has the characteristics of air. Lavoisier's experiments gave us the theory of combustion as we have it to this day: that when a substance
burns in air, it combines with oxygen of the air and the product of combustion is heavier than the original substance.

Molecular Biology
This field of study deals with everything related to macromolecules, thus, what you will need for molecular biology would be something you could get proteins and nucleic acids from. Among the choices, the DNA of a pig and a calf would be the most helpful.

Comparative Anatomy
Comparative anatomy is a field of study that focuses on any similarities or differences between the anatomy or structure of different animals or species in general. Among the options, having the limb structure of a pig and a calf would allow you to practice the field since you have a structure to compare.

Developmental Biology
In this field, your concern would be how species grow and develop. For you to properly observe the growth and development, you must have the embryo of a pig and a calf. Therefore, among the options, this is the correct piece of evidence for this field.

IN SUMMARY:
Molecular Biology - Both DNA of a pig and a calf
Comparative Anatomy - Both limb structure of a pig and a calf
Developmental Biology - Embryo of a pig and a calf

Explain in detail how galen, a physician during the middle ages, expanded on hippocrates’ theory of the four humors and explain
Ann [662]
<span>Hippocrates believed that there are four humors in human body which need balance for a healthy being. These were:
Blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile.</span>
Galen expanded the idea of the humors and introduced four temperaments which were these:
choleric (hot / dry), melancholic (cold / dry), sanguine (warm / moist), and phlegmatic (cold / moist).
Another expansion Galen did was that he gave each humor/temperament physical and psychological qualities and said that even the food items have an association with the certain humor, those foods can effect certain humor in certain ways.

Osmosis provides the primary means by which water is transported into and out of cells. The turgor pressure of a cell is largely maintained by osmosis across the cell membrane between the cell interior and its relatively hypotonic environment.
