What is she asking I am very confused

Complete in order

1. Define key vocab words

2. Read the 6 paragraph article

3. Answer Higher Level Thinking questions

Explanation:

1. Give a very short definition for the vocab words (couple of words or less) but still try to remember the whole original definition

- make sure it makes sense to you

2. Read quickly (skim) the article and highlight or circle vocab words

-pay attention to the first and last sentence of each paragraph

- Go back and read the article more closely

- After each paragraph, write in one sentence something you learned or think is important (take-away sentence)

- Tell someone each of your take-away sentences and get their feedback ( do they agree or disagree?)

3. Answer the questions thoughtfully (put time into them)

- Long, thought out answers

- Use your knowledge of the article to answer them

he uptake of drugs from the intestine is often strongly influenced by diffusion. for example, consider a water-insoluble steroid for treating inflammation that is solubilized in aggregates of detergent molecules, called micelles. these micelles, aggregates of 80 soap molecules, have a molecular weight of 24,000, a diameter of 2.6 nm, and a charge of -27. the positively charge ions (counterions) in this system are na".

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
