Begin your study of biology this year by reading Chapter 1. It will serve as a reminder about biological concepts that you may have learned in an earlier course and give you an overview of what you will study this year. As you read each chapter‚ take note of the headings for each section‚ as these will clue you in to the big idea you should grasp from reading that section. One good strategy is actually to read through the review at the end of the chapter before diving into the material. Type the

I. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE HEART I. LOCATION OF THE HEART The heart is located in the chest between the lungs behind the sternum and above the diaphragm. It is surrounded by the pericardium. Its size is about that of a fist‚ and its weight is about 250-300 g. Its center is located about 1.5 cm to the left of the midsagittal plane. Located above the heart are the great vessels: the superior and inferior vena cava‚ the pulmonary artery and vein‚ as well as the aorta. The aortic arch lies

State of the art on Bio-cutting fluids in Machining Submitted by: Abstract The increasing attention to the environmental and health impacts of industrial activities by governmental regulations and by the growing awareness level in the society is forcing industrialists to reduce the use of mineral oil-based metalworking fluids as cutting fluid. Cutting fluids have been used extensively in metal cutting operations for the last 200 years. In the beginning‚ cutting fluids consisted of simple

specialized fluid that is pumped by the heart and circulated through the body via a system of arteries and veins. It is an essential component of the body and without it we would not be able to survive. This paper discusses the anatomy and physiology of blood in a brief review. Anatomy and Physiology of Blood The blood is made up of four main components. These are plasma‚ red blood cells‚ white blood cells and platelets. The blood is circulated throughout the body by one of two types of vessels; arteries

Observance of Artificial Selection: Technical Study of Wisconsin Fast Plants 5th and 6th period AP Biology Due: 12/16/13 Abstract This experiment was used to explore the Theory of Evolution created by Charles Darwin. The use of natural selection was apparent in the artificial modification of an organism ’s traits which aided in this investigation. Through this experiment the Wisconsin Fast Plant was used. It is a fast-growing organism developed to improve the resistance to disease in

1.) In a plant having two carried alleles for the color of a flower in a gene‚ with P for purple and p for white‚ the three possible combinations which might exist in any one plant are PP making a purple plant‚ pp to make a white plant‚ or Pp resulting in a ‘hybrid’ plant. 2.) Out of the genotypes PP‚ Pp‚ pp‚ the resultant flower colors are (as described above in exercise 1) are purple (for PP‚) purple or purplish-white (for Pp- likely purple as it is dominant‚ or a mixture of the colors‚) or white

Liuyi Bian P2 1. The physical structure of a protein often reflects and affects its function. (a) Describe THREE types of chemical bonds/interactions found in proteins. For each type‚ describe its role in determining protein structure. Different types of bonds/interactions in proteins lead to different kinds of structures. Three of the most commonly known chemical bonds in proteins include the hydrogen bond‚ the covalent bond‚ and the ionic bond. In hydrogen bonds‚ hydrogen interacts with
