From a young age‚ I have had an appreciation of the importance of science as well as a desire to understand it‚ especially biology. I have always found the human body particularly fascinating. The area of study that is of particular interest to me‚ is the study of cells‚ This brings me to the one career that I would absolutely love to learn more about‚ cell biology. A cell biologist is a scientist

Nitrogen Cycle Questions 1. Nitrogen is both the __most abundant element__ and in organisms it is the raw material of two main macromolecules __ammonia and nitrite which build proteins and _nitrates which build your genetic material‚ DNA. 2. In the atmosphere it is found in the form of N2 which is __nitrogen gas____. 3. These Nitrogen molecules then need to go through a process called __nitrogen fixation__ in order to be converted into molecules that living organisms can use readily. 4. Two forms

Cell Size: Is Bigger Better? Problem: Why are cells small? Objective: To see the relationship between cell size and diffusion of materials. Hypothesis: If we cut three different sizes of cells‚ then the smallest one will survive the longest due to its sufficient permeable membrane.

which cells divide and create living creatures. Without meiosis we cannot have the process of mitosis‚ which is the process by which cells of tissue are created for living creatures. When meiosis occurs 4 daughter cells are created‚ while only 2 are created in mitosis. With the creation of 2 daughter cells the new cells will be similar to the parent cell‚ but will have differences‚ as there more parent cells involved. When mitosis occurs the daughter cells will be identical to the parent cell‚ since

Assumptions: The ping pong balls are not going to stack on top of one another in a perfect manner. The furniture and computers in the room are insignificant. The ping pong balls stack on top of one another with no space between them. The ping pong balls stack on top of one another in a three dimensional mode. 3. Heuristics:

TITLE : The copper cycle IN TRODUCTION The purpose of the experiment is to recognize that change of state‚ change in colour‚ formation of a precipitate‚ or the evolution of heat are associated with a chemical change; to study reactions of copper. Copper is an element that can be found in nature in a variety of different compounds. The most common natural ore is the sulphide‚ known as chalcocite‚ Cu2S. This mineral is an important source of copper metal because it is about 80% copper by

Transformation Efficiency is Dependent Upon Plasmid Grant Zarrinmakan‚ Berkley Kruschke‚ Erika Lawrence. Wed/Fri‚ D-Block‚ 12-January-2015 Introduction Transformation is the genetic alteration of a cell resulting from the direct uptake of exogenous DNA from its surroundings. By doing this lab‚ we will answer the essential question: What influences transformation efficiency? Although there are many possible influences‚ our hypothesis is that plasmid has a positive influence. To test this hypothesis

Enzyme Lab Introduction/ Abstract An enzyme is a substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction. They are mainly made up of proteins and can tremendously speed up reactions. E. coli ( a bacterium) has about 1‚000 different types of enzymes floating around in its cytoplasm at any given time. Enzymes can be used to join and even break up molecules as shown in the diagram below. (1)
