Biology revision -keeping healthy Diet and Exercise What should a balanced diet include? Carbohydrates‚proteins‚fats‚vitamins‚minerals‚fibre‚water. Don’t get enough of these? Become malnourished. How much energy do we need? The energy you need depends on various things : 1. Gender- Males need more energy then females‚ Bigger size‚ have a bigger ratio of muscle to fat than women. 2. Age- Young people are still growing‚ they are reproducing and are more active (exercise) than old people

POB II: Exam II Review Chapter 6: tour of the cell Microscopy: • Microscopes provide a window to the cell. • Most important tool in cytology • Resolution has improved understanding of cells. o Resolving power – the smallest distance between two objects that allows them to be seen as distinct objects. o Resolving power of the human eye is 0.1 mm • Light microscope – uses glass lenses and visible light to form a magnified image of an object. o Resolving power of about 100 nm (.0002 mm)

The feeling in the hospital room was eerie. It was weird and horrible to be sitting there‚ waiting. I could not believe that I was the one sitting in the emergency room. I was only fourteen years old. I was not supposed to be in this type of pain. A typical day of relaxing‚ and riding horses ended up to be a life changing day for me. Earlier that day I had been riding my horse‚ Shane. Everything was going as usual; we had warmed up and were now running through the pasture. We had done this dozens

Marine Biology is the scientific study of organisms that are dependent on water. Marine Biology is an interesting topic to many people because of the exotic animals you get to work with. A career in Marine Biology can be dangerous because of the wild animals‚ but at the same time it can be fun. It takes time‚ training‚ and intelligence to succeed in the career. In order to make it in this Biology field you must complete a college work in oceanography‚ marine biology‚ or conservation. You will

integration through hormones. In this chapter‚ you will learn about the neural system of human‚ mechanisms of neural coordination like transmission of nerve impulse‚ impulse conduction across a synapse and the physiology of reflex action. 316 BIOLOGY 21.1 NEURAL SYSTEM The neural system of all animals is composed of highly specialised cells called neurons which can detect‚ receive and transmit different kinds of stimuli. The neural organisation is very simple in lower invertebrates. For

In biology and ecology‚ extinction is the end of an organism or of a group of organisms (taxon)‚ normally a species. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the species‚ although the capacity to breed and recover may have been lost before this point. Because a species’ potential range may be very large‚ determining this moment is difficult‚ and is usually done retrospectively. This difficulty leads to phenomena such as Lazarus taxa‚ where a species

IB SL Biology Lab Molecular Biology: Transformation and Electrophoresis Christina Qi 2/16/07 Aim: How can a plasmid be engineered to include a foreign piece of DNA and how does gel electrophoresis separate DNA molecules present in a mixture? Hypothesis: If the pGLO plasmid is inserted into competent Escherichia coli cells‚ then the transformed bacteria will be resistant to ampicillin and will glow green under UV light. If samples of DNA are cut using certain restriction
