This file of BIO 100 Week 4 Discussion Questions shows the solutions to the following problems: DQ 1: Post your response to the following: What are some of the benefits of squeezing so much data into virtually every cell in the body? Why did humans not evolve with one central repository of DNA rather than having it replicated throughout the body? Assume that the hereditary information carried in genes and DNA is responsible for many differences observed in humans and other living things. How

------------------------------------------------- Top of Form | Question 1 | Please use the following information to answer the following question(s). The collared lizard is a species found in the Desert Southwest. Male collared lizards show considerable color variation‚ ranging from brightly colored to a very dull pattern. The goal is to determine the function‚ if any‚ of male color patterns in collared lizards‚ using the scientific method. The tentative explanation is that male color

Plant and animal cells have several differences and similarities. For example‚ animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts but plant cells do. Animal cells are round and irregular in shape while plant cells have fixed‚ rectangular shapes. Animal Cell Plant Cell Cell wall Absent Present (formed of cellulose) Shape Round (irregular shape) Rectangular (fixed shape) Vacuole One or more small vacuoles (much smaller than plant cells). One‚ large central vacuole taking up 90% of cell volume

BIO 131 Lab #2 Drawings of Animal and Plant Cells Instructions: 1. Set up light microscope for use. Handle with care. 2. Obtain a slide of animal cells and observe first under low-power (4X)‚ then under medium power (10X)‚ then finally switch to high-power (40X). 3. Make careful observations of the structure of the cells. 4. Draw what you see under high power on a sheet of paper. Place your drawing in a circle measuring 10-15 cm. Use only pencil‚ draw neat lines‚ do not shade. The title

another: some of the energy is converted to heat‚ which is not a very usable form of kinetic energy. A green plant will grow if given nothing more than: water‚ light‚ and carbon dioxide The leaves of plants can be thought of as "eating" sunlight. From an energetic perspective this makes sense because light energy‚ like the chemical energy stored in food molecules‚ is used inside plants to do work. Mitochondria have a "bag within a bag" structure. This is necessary to: create two distinct regions
