Week #1 -autotrophs are organisms that harvest light or chemical energy in organic compounds. They self nutrition -heterotrophs are organisms that get complex nutrients from the environment (by eating other organisms) -Fungi are heterotrophs or predators because they are parasitic. Bread mold secretes digestive enzymes to enter the membrane. Same as foot fungus‚ it extends hyphae (fungal branches) into the cells to absorbs nutrients -One fungus makes traps for nematode worms while another fungus

Chapter 16 Reflections Chapter Reflections Chapter 16 of our textbook for class‚ Teaching Elementary Physical Education: Strategies for the Classroom Teachers is called “Interdisciplinary Strategies for Physical Education”. I felt as though this particular chapter was very “to the point”‚ but that it was also packed with a lot of information that could be very useful in the classroom. This chapter was about just what the title suggests: ways that you could integrate physical education into

Chapter One Quick Check: 1. Cells were not discovered by Hippocrates because he didn’t have the technology and equipment to. 2. Robert Hooke is credited with the discovery of the basic building block of living organisms. 3. Robert Brown is credited with the discovery of the cell nucleus. 4. Schleiden and Schwann’s contribution to biology was proposing that cells are the basic structural unit for plants and animals. 5. Before Virchow‚ one idea was that living things could arise from non-living

Biology – Chapter 1 Study Guide The goal of science is to try to understand the world around us. Scientists often work in groups so they can exchange data‚ which is extremely important in the study of science. Understanding of science and the scientific approach is essential to intelligent decision making because it would make scientists make reasonable decisions and conclusions. A control is the experiment set-up not containing any independent variable. Analyzing data and drawing

AP biology FRQ Courtney DeMane 1.22.13 block 7 A). The chemical composition and structure of proteins seems quite confusing at first but one it is broken down into levels it is much more understandable. Amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins and they contain amino‚ carboxyl and R groups. These R groups that are in the amino acids are what determine the properties of the specific amino acids. For structure‚ there are 4 levels. The first one being the primary level. These are made
