Chapter 10 Study Notes Standard: a benchmark or ‘norm’ for measuring performance (what we expect to happen).Using these standards we have Quantity and Price Standards. Quantity Standards: how much of an input should be used in manufacturing a unit of product or in providing a unit of service (similar to a cook recipe: list of items and how much to use) Cost (Price) Standards: the cost (purchase price) of the units should be (how much we expect to pay for a particular item) Management

NOTES FROM MR.ANDERSON’S WATER POTENTIAL VIDEO (SAVES TIME AND EFFORT!) Water potential is the potential energy of water per unit area compared to pure water. Which allows you to figure out where water’s going to flow due to osmosis‚ gravity‚ pressure and even surface tension. It also allows you to figure out if water will flow in the first place and if it will flow into the cell or not. Water Potential (symbol psi) = Solute Potential (symbol psi s) + Pressure Potential (symbol psi p) Solute

Tools for studying consciousness are designed to be able to look into the brain and see what regions and areas are active during different mental tasks. Like in Chapter three there was tools like an MRI or PET. For studying consciousness there is Mental Rotation and Zooming in with the mind. These resources aren’t able to show the experience of consciousness. They can show distinct parts of the brain that are used during certain

HW Review for Photosynthesis exam: Due Monday March 28 Reminder your lab write up will be a next week. If your lab is this Friday you also will get a week to complete your full lab write-up. Sample questions: 1. twenty-five plants were placed in each of four closed containers and then exposed to light conditions shown in the data table below. All other environmental conditions were held constant for a period of 2 days. At the beginning of the investigation‚ the quantity of CO2 present in each closed

Chapter 30 The Gorbachev Era Gorbachev became the new leader of the Soviet Union. Perestroika meant only a reordering of economic policy. The most important instruments was glasnost. Soviet citizens and officials were encouraged to discuss openly the strengths and weaknesses of the Soviet Union. Previously banned works were now published‚ and music based on western styles began to be performed openly. Gorbachev called for the creation of a new Soviet parliament. Legalized the formation of other

Photosynthesis is a process done in the chloroplasts of plant cells that is beneficial to all of life. Plants are able to convert light to energy which is beneficial to the plants‚ while also giving off oxygen as a byproduct for humans. Chloroplasts are in the thylakoid discs of a plant cell‚ that contain chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b‚ which are it’s light-capturing pigments. Colors in the wavelengths are either absorbed or reflected by the chlorophyll in which case green is reflected and colors

Evidence of Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is the process during which a plant’s chlorophyll traps light energy and sugars (glucose) are produced. In plants‚ photosynthesis occurs only in cells with chloroplasts. Water (H2O)‚ carbon dioxide (CO2) and light energy are required. The light energy is absorbed by the green pigment‚ chlorophyll‚ and is converted into chemical energy‚ which causes the water drawn from the soil to split into molecules of hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen combines with
