Ecology Assignment: Emily Toney AP Biology (Ernst) 1. Fill in the ecological hierarchy chart below. Different levels of ecological study (1149) Ecological Level | Description | Example | Organismal | Organismal ecology includes the subdisciplines of psychological‚ evolutionary‚ and behavioral ecology‚ is concerned with how an organisms structure‚ physiology and (for animals) behavior meet the challenges posed by its environment. | How do hammerhead sharks select a mate? | Population

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

AP Biology Summer Summaries There are many differences between proximate and evolutionary causes and explanations on why we are such easy targets for diseases. The proximate explanations are described by its anatomy‚ physiology‚ and biochemistry. Evolutionary explanations go into detail on what would happen if we didn’t have the genes that cause us to get sick. Proximate causes look for what genes it is made up of and how it works. Evolutionary causes are why natural selection hasn’t eliminated

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

In biological processes‚ the immediate energy source is often in the form adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The nucleotide ATP maintains both catabolic and anabolic reactions. An example of

(b) Explain each of the following in terms of the properties of water. You are not limited to the three properties discussed in part (a): • • • the role of water as a medium for the metabolic processes of cells the ability of water to moderate temperature within living organisms and in organisms’ environments the movement of water from the roots to

it was not until my first test in AP Biology‚ that I realized I actually had to go the extra mile and put forth maximum effort into studying and reviewing. I needed a biology mentor like Mrs.Ciasulli to bring out the best in me because she knew of my aspirations to work in the medical field. Although she attempted to make my life as difficult as possible‚ she made me fall in love with the material and gain much more appreciation for the study of biology. AP Biology then became the class I was most

B. Recommendations to adopt this new three-domain taxonomic system were based on evidence more detailed and reliable than that of the five-kingdom system. New advances in genetic and molecular sciences have allowed for classification based on information such as base composition‚ nucleic acid hybridization‚ and amino acid sequences. The two main molecular methods to identify microbes are by the comparison of 1) DNA and RNA sequences (nucleic acid hybridization) and 2) of amino acid sequences of

element__ and in organisms it is the raw material of two main macromolecules __ammonia and nitrite which build proteins and _nitrates which build your genetic material‚ DNA. 2. In the atmosphere it is found in the form of N2 which is __nitrogen gas____. 3. These Nitrogen molecules then need to go through a process called __nitrogen fixation__ in order to be converted into molecules that living organisms can use readily. 4. Two forms of Nitrogen that are more readily used by organisms are __ammonia___
