offers the best explanations of the workings of the natural world. However‚ with numerous concepts yet for scientists to discover or understand‚ biology truly is an open ended book waiting for the students of today to write tomorrow’s chapters. Watson and Crick’s discovery of the DNA double helix in 1953 marked an era of extraordinary creativity in biology. In ‘The Double Helix’‚ James Watson reveals their struggles against anti-helical

Bellevue College will be introducing a new course‚ INTER 110A‚ entitled Sex‚ Science and the Stage. Taught by Drama Department’s Tammi Doyle and Biology Instructor Susan Miller‚ the class comprises of BIOL&100 and DRMA&101. The course curriculum involves performing plays‚ and then discussing the science behind the play they’re doing during the biology classes. "So Tammi would be teaching the drama side and I would be explaining the science behind it‚" said Miller. The DRMA&101 class usually does

Subject Title : Biology Program : Diploma Program (IB) School Year : 2014-2016 Instructor : Jeffrey Joseph Y. Araula‚ MMM NATURE OF THE SUBJECT Biology is the study of life. The first organisms appeared on the planet over 3 billion years ago and‚ through reproduction and natural selection‚ have given rise to the 8 million or so different species alive today. Estimates vary‚ but over the course of evolution 4 billion species could have been produced. Most of these flourished for a

As someone who is planning to study biology in college‚ the process of natural selection explains so much about the modern day life on earth. There is perhaps no phenomenon more wondrous or perplexing than the development of complex life on our planet. Over the countless years of human existence‚ many have attempted to explain just how life came to be. I too have asked how complex life on earth arose‚ and for this answer‚ I turned to science. The process of natural selection is very important

‘Fixed species concept’ states that the creator created each species for the specific purpose. Carolus Linnaeus was the major proponent of the fixed species concept. The fixed species concept originated from the belief that the Earth and the life on it are around six hundred thousand years old. The basis of the concept is the organismal adaptations. It was believed that the creator designed every species for a particular use. Plato’s idealism suggests that organisms are already accustomed to their

Big Idea 2 Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow‚ to reproduce and to maintain dynamic homeostasis. Living systems require both free energy and matter to maintain order‚ grow and reproduce. Organisms employ various strategies to capture‚ use and store free energy and other vital resources. Energy deficiencies are not only detrimental to individual organisms; they also can cause disruptions at the population and ecosystem levels. Biological systems must both

Biology Exam Review Unit One – Biochemistry What is an isotope? Isotope - An isotope is all atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons‚ but they may have different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus. - This means that all atoms with the same atomic number can have different atomic masses. - Because they have the same number of protons and electrons‚ they behave exactly the same in chemical reactions. Radioisotope - The nuclei of some isotopes of an element are unstable

Biology – The Science of Life Biology – derived from the words “bios”‚ which means life and “logos” which means study. It is therefore the study of life or living things. Major Divisions of Biology 1. Botany - study of plants - has a subcategory: •Phycology – study of seaweeds and algae 2. Zoology - study of animals - has eight subcategories: •Morphology – study of gross structures of organisms •Anatomy – study of the form and structure of organisms •Mammalogy – study of
