Chapter 20: DNA Technology Biotechnology: Use of living organisms to perform tasks. * Wine & cheese * Selective breeding * Antibiotic production * Recombinant DNA Restriction Enzymes * Bacterial enzymes: cut up foreign DNA * Specific: only but at recognition sequences * Palindromic: cut at the same base sequence on each strand‚ but in the opposite direction * The exposed bases provide “sticky ends” * H-bond to compliment bases of segments cut with same restriction

Chapter 1: Biology- The study of life A Hierarchy of Organization 1. Molecules 2. Organelle 3. Cell 4. Tissue 5. Organ 6. Organism Emergent Properties- Novel properties that emerge as each step up the hierarchy of biological order is taken. Reductionism- Reducing complex systems to simpler components that are more manageable to study. Cells- The lowest level of structure capable of performing all the activities of life‚ all organisms are composed of cells which are the basic units of structure

Molecules of Life 4 Critical large Molecules- 1.) Carbohydrates 2.)Lipids 3.)Proteins 4.) Nucleic Acids -On the molecular scale‚ members of three of these classes--- Carbohydrates‚proteins‚ and nucleic acids--- are huge and therefore called Macromolecules. - Architecture of a large biological molecule helps explain how that molecule works. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Macromolecules

Chapter 14: Reform and Renewal in the Christian Church Homework The Great Schism: The Babylonian Captivity was the blasting fuse of the Great Schism. It was a period of division when the popes resided in Avignon‚ where there were three rival popes holding their own administrative offices and own followers. The schism weakened the religious faith of Christians‚ and discredited the Roman Catholic Church’s prestige. The Conciliar Movement was the outcome. Absenteeism: It was one of the Church

Chapter Overview: Due to science and the discovery of a “heliocentric” universe‚ there was a transformation of humankind’s perception of its place in the larger scheme of things. This new worldview led to new thinking about moral and religious matters‚ as well as scientific theory. New ideas and methods of science challenged modes of thought associated with late medieval times like scholasticism and philosophy. The Protestant Reformation and the discovery of the Americas presented new uncertainties

Chapter 29 An Overview of Land Plant Evolution 1. Describe four shared derived homologies that link charophyceans and land plants. a. The complexes that produce cellulose are rose shaped in both charophyceans and land plants. Next both have peroxisome enzymes that help minimize the loss of organic products from photorespiration. The structure of their flagellated sperm is very similar. Finally‚ both form a phragmoplast during cell division. 2. Distinguish among the kingdoms Plantae‚ Streptophyta

AP Biology notes: Chapter 2- The Chemical Context of Life 1. Overview * The bombardier beetle fights the ants that plague it by using chemistry. * The natural systems and environment that organisms live in involves chemistry and physics. * Biology is not the only category of science. There is also chemistry‚ physics‚ and engineering. * Organization of life is separated into a hierarchy of structural levels. 2. Elements and Compounds * Matter- anything that takes up
