At the same time the vast majority of these resources are exported, integrating Canada closely into the international economy.

The function of the vast majority of chlorophyll ( up to several hundred molecules per photosystem ) is to absorb light and transfer that light energy by resonance energy transfer to a specific chlorophyll pair in the reaction center of the photosystems.

Thus a vast and elaborate house may serve as a sign of conspicuous wealth, whereas a low-profile house built of recycled materials may indicate support of energy conservation.

Nanotechnology may be able to create many new materials and devices with a vast range of applications, such as in medicine, electronics, biomaterials and energy production.

Creating antimatter requires input of vast amounts of energy, at least equivalent to the rest energy of the created particle / antiparticle pairs, and typically ( for antiproton production ) tens of thousands to millions of times more.

One such suggestion is based on the argument that the mammalian photoreceptor amplification process requires vast quantities of metabolic energy, and consequently, it requires massive and homogeneous supply of blood.

For example, migratory animals that travel vast distances ( such as the Arctic Tern ) typically have a locomotion mechanism that costs very little energy per unit distance, whereas non-migratory animals that must frequently move quickly to escape predators ( such as frogs ) are likely to have costly but very fast locomotion.

Their cumulative energy fixation in carbon compounds ( primary production ) is the basis for the vast majority of oceanic and also many freshwater food webs ( chemosynthesis is a notable exception ).

These natural gas hydrates are seen as a potentially vast energy resource, but an economical extraction method has so far proven elusive.

* A large cell, especially one equipped for phagocytosis, has vast energetic requirements, which cannot be achieved without the internalisation of energy production ( due to the decrease in the surface area to volume ratio as size increases ).

Irène ’ s group pioneered research into radium nuclei that led a separate group of German physicists, led by Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner, and Fritz Strassman, to discover nuclear fission ; the splitting of the nucleus itself and the vast amounts of energy emitted as a result.

Shortly thereafter, Kyle Rayner, having imbued with the vast power of Ion after his battle with Oblivion and Alexander Nero funneled the remaining energy left in the sun that was once the immortal Guardians back into the Central Power Battery.

Upon awakening, Megatron and his Decepticons discovered that Earth was a world teeming with organic life and vast energy resources, more than enough to re-power Cybertron and allow the Decepticons to conquer it and other worlds.

The downside to this approach was that the mask cut off the vast majority of the beam energy, allowing it to hit the screen only 15 % of the time, requiring a massive increase in beam power to produce acceptable image brightness.

These planets may have vast differences in temperature between their day and night sides which produce supersonic winds, although the day and night sides of HD 189733b appear to have very similar temperatures, indicating that planet's atmosphere effectively redistributes the star's energy around the planet.
