Endocrine system or endocrine disruptor is not something we commonly hear or discuss about in our society. However‚ they both play a big role in humans. Many people have no insight of endocrine system or endocrine disruptor. The endocrine system is glands secreting different types of hormones that go directly into bloodstream to transfer information and instruction to one set of cells to another certain cells. Hormones are the body’s chemical messenger which regulates growth and development‚ body’s

TOPIC 6‚ 11‚ & OPTION H: HUMAN HEALTH AND PHYSIOLOGY Digestive System Includes all the structures that are concerned with bringing food into the body to provide for the needs of the body’s cells. Each cell in an organism relies on a continuous expenditure of energy. Fats‚ carbs‚ and proteins are broken down during cellular metabolism and the energy derived from them is used to make ATP. The digestive system deals with: Ingestion‚ which is the bringing of nutrients into the body. Mechanical

The endocrine system works with the nervous system to maintain homeostasis. The endocrine system secretes hormones in the human body‚ which are produced in endocrine glands and are released into the bloodstream to travel to the its specific target cell‚ tissue‚ or organ. Exocrine glands produce chemicals that are discharged into the surroundings. Hormones can either produce short-lived responses or long-term responses. An example of a short-lived response is when adrenaline (epinephrine)causes the

AP Biology August 23‚ 2012 Egg Osmosis Lab Definition of osmosis: The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane from high to low concentrations Hypothesis: If I place an egg in vinegar‚ then the outer layer of the egg is going to become slimy and look like rubber. It will also become larger and bubbles will form on and around the egg. Hypothesis: If I place an egg in corn syrup‚ then the egg will become small and the outer layer will not look like rubber any longer. Day one:

AP Bio p. 6 December 8‚ 2011 AP Biology Lab 5: Cellular Respiration Introduction/Lab Objective: In this lab we are testing how the process of cellular respiration is affected by temperature‚ and also how it is different between germinating and non-germinating peas. Cellular respiration is a catabolic process (breaks down organic material into usable cell energy) that produces ATP. The electron receivers are inorganic. Cellular respiration releases energy from organic material through chemical

55. a) Cuticles on the outermost layer of angiosperms are clear‚ which allows for light to pass through. The leaf is shaped in a way that will allow it to absorb more sunlight and be more efficient. Photosynthesis takes place in the spongy parenchyma and the palisade parenchyma. In order to obtain food‚ it is controlled by the stoma which controls the passage of gas and water. b) Water and food is transported through the xylem. The water will eventually be transported to the leaf tissue while the
