Hypothesis: I predict that the leaves taken from the outer area of a shrub have a higher stomatal index (/density) than those taken from the centre of a shrub this are due to light levels. Explanation: Plants have stomata to obtain carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and remove oxygen produced in photosynthesis. During photosynthesis the chloroplasts in the leaf cells synthesize as a result of exposure to light‚ while oxygen is produced as a by-product. As the outer leafs are exposed to higher light

Genetic Traits Exercise: Introduction: The pioneer of modern day genetics was an Austrian Monk named Gregor Mendel‚ who established the basic laws of heredity from his studies with pea plants in the late 1800s. Mendel’s fundamental genetic principles may be applied to a variety of traits from many different organisms. Each genetic trait‚ such as flower color‚ is regulated by a pair of genes called alleles. These alleles are found at particular places on the chromosomes called loci. During meiosis

Unit 5 Case Study Mariella Hines is a 9 year-old African-American girl attending the 3rd grade in the JFK School. She was referred to the School Psychologist because she has recently become very withdrawn during class‚ refusing to speak to anyone‚ including her teacher and peers.

Study Questions: Chapter 28 1.) Archaea and Bacteria are the oldest‚ structurally simplest and most abundant forms of life. 2.) Name and describe seven ways in which prokaryotes differ substantially from eukaryotes? Unicellularity- fundamentally single-celled Cell Size- can vary (large range changes with species) Nucleoid- lack a membrane-bound nucleus but rather a nucleoid region Cell Division/Genetic Recombination- binary fission (does not use spindle) and do not have a sexual cycle Internal

regulatory steps‚ each of which is highly regulated. There are two phases of Glycolysis. The first is known as the "priming phase‚" because it requires an input of energy in the form of 2 ATPs per glucose molecule. The second phase is known as the "pay off phase‚” because energy is released in the form of 4 ATPs‚ 2 per glyceraldehyde molecule. The end result of Glycolysis is two new pyruvate molecules which can then be fed into the Citric Acid cycle (also known as the Kreb’s Cycle) if oxygen is present

Extended experimental investigation: effects on membranes of environmental stress Background It is not possible to observe membranes directly‚ so this investigation is an indirect study of the effects of different substances and treatments on living beetroot cells. Beetroot cells have been chosen for this activity because each beetroot cell has a large central vacuole bounded by a membrane (Figure 1). Contained in the vacuole is the red pigment anthocyanin‚ which gives the beetroot its
