how GUDs work. Each of these violate the basic assumptions of a GUD study and will require a
much more detailed interpretation and probably time spent in office hours consulting with your
TA.
• Varying the amount of substrate (sand)
• Varying the amount of food
• Varying the placement of food in the substrate

Organic molecules are compounds that contain carbon atoms bonded to other atoms such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus. They play a crucial role in the structure and function of living organisms. Here are some of the different types of organic molecules and their contributions to living organisms:

1. Carbohydrates: These are molecules made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, and they serve as a source of energy for cells. Examples of carbohydrates include glucose, fructose, and starch.
2. Lipids: These are molecules that are insoluble in water and are made up of fatty acids and glycerol. They serve as energy storage molecules, as well as important components of cell membranes. Examples of lipids include triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids.
3. Proteins: These are molecules made up of amino acids that are essential for the structure and function of cells. Proteins serve as enzymes, hormones, and structural components of cells. Examples of proteins include enzymes that facilitate chemical reactions in cells, antibodies that help fight infections, and structural proteins such as collagen.

The colonization of Indonesia by Western powers was driven by several key factors, including economic interests, political ambitions, and a desire for religious conversion. Here are some of the main reasons why Westerners colonized Indonesia:

1. Economic interests: Western powers saw Indonesia as a valuable source of natural resources, such as spices, precious metals, and timber. The spice trade, in particular, was highly lucrative and was a major motivator for European powers, such as the Dutch, Portuguese, and British, to establish colonies in Indonesia. These Western powers sought to gain control over the production and trade of valuable spices, such as cloves, nutmeg, and pepper, which were in high demand in Europe during the colonial era. The establishment of colonies in Indonesia provided Western powers with a means to exploit and export these valuable resources, enriching their economies and strengthening their dominance in global trade.
2. Political ambitions: Western powers also sought to expand their empires and increase their geopolitical influence in the region by colonizing Indonesia. Competition among European powers for colonial territories was a prominent feature of the colonial era, and Indonesia’s strategic location as a gateway to the lucrative markets of Asia made it a highly desirable target for colonization. Western powers established colonies in Indonesia to extend their political and military control over the region, secure trade routes, and gain an advantage over their rivals.
3. Religious conversion: Religion played a significant role in Western colonization of Indonesia, with Christian European powers seeking to spread Christianity in the region. The Dutch, for example, were known for their aggressive promotion of Christianity among the local population through missionary activities. The establishment of colonies provided an opportunity for Western powers to impose their own religious beliefs on the indigenous peoples of Indonesia, often leading to forced conversion and cultural assimilation.
4. Technological superiority: Western powers during the colonial era had advanced technology, military prowess, and superior weaponry compared to the indigenous peoples of Indonesia. This technological advantage allowed them to establish military dominance and subjugate local populations. Western powers used their superior military technology, including firearms and naval power, to defeat and conquer local kingdoms and establish their colonial rule over Indonesia.
5. Doctrine of racial superiority: The belief in the racial superiority of Western powers over the indigenous peoples of Indonesia was another factor that drove colonization. The concept of “civilizing missions” was often used as a justification for Western powers to colonize Indonesia and impose their culture, language, and values on the local population. Western powers saw themselves as superior to the indigenous peoples of Indonesia and believed that they were bringing progress and civilization to “inferior” cultures.

In conclusion, the colonization of Indonesia by Western powers was driven by economic interests, political ambitions, religious conversion, technological superiority, and the doctrine of racial superiority. These factors combined to create a complex web of motivations that led to the colonization and exploitation of Indonesia by Western powers during the colonial era. The impacts of colonization continue to be felt in Indonesia to this day, shaping its history, culture, and society.
