ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY of the EYE Even though the eye is small‚ only about 1 inch in diameter‚ it serves a very important function -- the sense of sight. Vision is by far the most used of the five senses and is one of the primary means that we use to gather information from our surroundings. More than 75% of the information we receive about the world around us consists of visual information. The eye is often compared to a camera. Each gathers light and then transforms that light into a "picture

that a famous scientist once called it "the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe.” The brain works in many different ways through sleep‚ sleep deprivation and memorization. Before we get to those we first need to understand the anatomy of the brain and how it works from day to day. Everyone knows what the brain looks like

Santiago Neville Period 1 10/14/12 Enzyme lab Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up the process of chemical reactions. They are also proteins‚ and most enzymes activities occur within organism. They decrease activation energy‚ energy that is needed to start a chemical reaction. Enzymes are substrate specific substrates ending in "-ase"‚ enzymes ending in "-ase". External factors‚ such as temperature‚ pH‚ and concentration of the substrate‚ affect the enzymes activity in the lab‚

Experiment on Cellular respiration of Mung Beans Seeds with the Effects of Temperature Introduction: ATP is generated from aerobic respiration from the use of biosynthetic pathways. Glycolysis is where respiration starts in the cells and produces ATP‚ NADH‚ and 2 pyruvate molecules from the oxidation of six carbon carbohydrate and glucose. Even if oxygen is there or not‚ enzymes are mediated in the cytoplasm. The electron transport chain‚ chemiosmosis‚ and aerobic respiration use NADH molecule

Bushra Hanaif Professor Kristen Przyborski BI 121-02 April 14‚ 2013 1) In the 1940s‚ some physicians prescribed low doses of a drug called dinitrophenol (DNP) to help patients lose weight. This unsafe method was abandoned after a few patients died. DNP uncouples the chemiosmotic machinery by making the lipid bilayer of the inner mitochondrial membrane leaky to H+. Explain how this can cause weight loss. In a coupled reaction‚ an exergonic reaction provides the energy needed to drive an endergonic

Biology Assessment #4 Australian Megafauna: Thylacoleo Carnifex & Diprotodon Optatum Part A: The term Megafauna means ‘big animals’‚ and refers to animals with a body mass of over 40 kilograms. In general use‚ the term Megafauna is used to refer to the animals that evolved after the dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago. The extinction of the dinosaurs meant that the large number of birds‚ mammals and reptiles‚ which were left over‚ were able to evolve and dominate the earth.
