Formula for Research Paper:
Introduction Paragraph (write this after you have written all your body paragraphs)
Body Paragraph 1:
Conclusion Paragraph (write this after you have written all your body paragraphs)
Example body paragraph; this paragraph belongs to a paper on proteins that enable organisms to glow:
Luciferase is one example of a protein that enables animals to bioluminesce. Luciferase is an enzyme that catalyzes a reaction that produces light fromthe protein luciferin and ATP (Moore & James, 1995). This products of this reaction are electronegatively excited and thus emit light. Luciferase in fireflies releases light as part of a multi-step reaction (Moore and James, 1995). First, D-luciferin is D-adenylated, and then the D-luciferin activated by ATP (Moore and James, 1995). This reaction produces oxy-luciferin in a highly energized state, which emits light until it returns to its ground state (Moore and James, 1995). The action of luciferase illustrates that light is not Made," but rather it is released as bonds are broken between the product molecules.
