Big Idea 2 Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow‚ to reproduce and to maintain dynamic homeostasis. Living systems require both free energy and matter to maintain order‚ grow and reproduce. Organisms employ various strategies to capture‚ use and store free energy and other vital resources. Energy deficiencies are not only detrimental to individual organisms; they also can cause disruptions at the population and ecosystem levels. Biological systems must both

Biology 1101 – Homework 3 Cells: Structures & Processes Organelles & Illness - Imagine that you are part of a research team that specializes in diagnosing disorders associated with malfunctioning cellular organelles and structures. Medical doctors consult you to provide a cellular explanation for particularly difficult cases. You recently received the two patient histories outlined below – what is your diagnosis? Note – this exercise is only asking you to determine which cell structure might be

When comparing and contrasting the mitochondria and chloroplast‚ a person learns all of the similarities and differences between the two. In this essay‚ you will read about the mitochondria‚ the chloroplast‚ and their biochemical reactions. The mitochondria often referred to as the powerhouse cell is found in the eukaruotic cells. There‚ those cells are often found in groups of hundreds. Mitochondria cells can be anywhere from 1 to 10 um long in length‚ but are able to change shapes‚ move‚ and divide

BIOL 101 September 15‚ 2012 Assignment 1 Chapter 1 2. What is Homeostasis‚ and why is it important? Give some examples that show how systems work together to maintain homeostasis? Homeostasis is a term used to describe an internal environment being in a state of constant conditions‚ such as constant temperature‚ pH‚ and etc. It is important because staying at an equilibrium requires the least amount of energy and provides the perfect environment for desired reactions to occur. If at any given

Photosynthesis is a chemical process that converts the sunlight into a chemical energy that plants store for later. Without photosynthesis‚ the world as we know it would not exist. All the plants would die and so would a major food and oxygen source. During Photosynthesis water is sucked up through the roots up the stem and to the leaves. The leaves take in carbon dioxide and begin to absorb sunlight. these things combine to make glucose and oxygen. The plant then uses the glucose and oxygen is

Chapter 7 and 8 discuss and give in depth details on photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They are the exact opposites in what they set out to complete in the cells of a leaf. Photosynthesis takes light energy and separates it in the chloroplasts to create glucose. Cellular respiration breaks down glucose to provide energy for the cell. The similarities between them include overlap in some of the enzymes and products and reactants utilized. The differences include the cycles and steps taken to

Methylene blue can act as an artificial hydrogen acceptor; when this dye is reduced by accepting hydrogen atoms it goes colourless. As such‚ it can be used to guage the rate of respiration by measuring the time taken for it to turn colourless. Methylene blue‚ acting as a hydrogen acceptor‚ is decolourized during the respiration of yeast. By measuring the time taken for a fixed amount of the dye to be decolourized‚ the relative rate of respiration (a catabolic process) can be deduced. Results:

Joseph’s Story List Joseph’s risk factors and create a brief summary of the information you have so far. Identify how his risk factors would affect cellular functions. His risk factors are‚ stress‚ lack of sleep‚ fatigue‚ smoking and‚ family history of vascular disease. Smoking will affect mitosis by changing its process and altering the cycle of cell regeneration and division. Assuming Joseph’s heart stopped‚ what cellular functions are going to be affected by the loss of oxygen‚ blood glucose
