AP Biology Outline for Behavior Territoriality - behavior of animals that enables individuals to occupy and dominate an area. Territory is an area where one or more individuals defend the area. Thus the two are interpedently interacting with each other to defend the area. Dominance Hierarchies social organizations in which some individuals of the group have adopted a subordinate status to others. The role of this in social behavior is that it shows that the subordinate individuals are depended

structure of something you didn’t even know existed‚ what you are imagining is James Watson. Watson changed molecular biology in amazing ways that changed science forever. He discovered the structure of DNA. James Watson had an extremely influential life. His main discovery was the structure of DNA‚ but he also discovered the helical construction of tobacco mosaic virus. The discovery of the molecular structure of DNA was a ginormous scientific breakthrough. Watsons current research includes the role of

Association for Molecular Pathology vs. Myriad Genetics The case of the Association for Molecular Pathology vs. Myriad Genetics was a case that challenged the validity of gene patents in the United States. It specifically challenged certain claims in issued patents owned or controlled by Myriad Genetics that cover isolated DNA sequences‚ methods to diagnose propensity to cancer by looking for mutated DNA sequences‚ and methods to identify drugs using isolated DNA sequences. Before this case occurred

AP Biology Photosynthesis Lab Bethany Boyer Due 11/12/14 Lab Write-Up Questions First Experiment 1) The independent variable in this experiment was the presence of CO2 (carbon dioxide). The dependent variable was the speed at which the leaf disks started to float. 2) In the leaf tissue‚ the bicarbonate and light are combining to carry out photosynthesis. This will cause oxygen to collect in the leaf tissue‚ causing it to rise. 3) If we were to boil the leaf disks‚ the reaction would most likely

1. (a) I‚ III‚ and IV are correct. II is not correct. To explain III‚ de Broglie’s equation states l = h/(mv)‚ so nl = nh/(mv) = 2pi(r). Where: l = wavelength‚ v = velocity of electron‚ n = some positive integer‚ r = distance of electron from center‚ m = mass of electron. Solve‚ get mvr = L = nh/2pi. (b) The current wave mechanical model for the atom states that there are an integer number of wavelengths in every standing integer number (n). 2. (a) The first shell electrons in Lithium are

AP Biology Introduction and Summary AP Biology is among the most popular advanced placement tests put forth by College Board each year for high school students. The test was designed to challenge and motivate students to further expand on their passion for the subject of biological sciences. AP Biology Course Goals According to College Board‚ the structure for designing a proper AP Biology course should focus on the following topics: • Molecules and Cells: 25% • Heredity and Evolution:

Throughout the period 1801-1817‚ the government was ruled by the Jeffersonian Republican party‚ whereas the Federalist Party began to slowly fade away from public view. The Jeffersonian Republican party‚ led by Thomas Jefferson‚ professed to favor a weak central government through the support of more states’ rights‚ "...that the states are independent... to...themselves...and united as to everything respecting foreign nations." (Document A). On the other hand‚ the Federalist Party‚ previously led

water and nutrients from the soil. d. Evolution of leaves – Leaves increased surface area for plants on land to collect more solar energy for photosynthesis. e. Sporophylls and Spore Variations – Led to flowers in angiosperms‚ which increased genetic variation in plants. 13. Distinguish between microphylls and megaphylls. a. Microphylls are small‚ single veined leaves. Megaphylls are larger leaves with a highly branched vascular system. The vascular system allows the leave to grow wider because

List the two lines of nonspecific defense mechanisms with examples of each. • External defense‚ which includes the skin and mucous membranes in the body. • Internal defense which includes phagocytic cells and antimicrobial proteins. 2. What is meant by specific defense? Defense mechanisms are said to be specific because depending on which one they focus on one specific part of the body or a specific type of pathogen. 3. Give examples of “barrier defense
