I have been inspired to pursue biology as a subject since my time at high school. During my GCSE stages of high school‚ I became fascinated by animal behaviour‚ ecology and evolution of different species and different organisms. Developing on from this‚ my current studies in applied science has enabled me to enjoy participating in practicals‚ working in a group‚ and working as an individual‚ having the opportunity to widen my experiences in practical sciences. I have particularly enjoyed scientific

Bacterial Biology █ BRIAN D. HOYLE An understanding of the fundamentals of bacterial biology is critical to bacteriologists and other forensic investigators attempting to identify potential biogenic pathogens that may be exploited as agents in biological warfare or by bioterrorists. Fundamentals of Bacterial Biology Bacteria are one-celled prokaryotic organisms that lack a true nucleus (i.e.‚ a nucleus defined by a membrane). Bacteria maintain their genetic material‚ deoxyribonucleic

Biology Article Isaac Ayers Professor Carol Hoban SCI115012VA016-1136-001 Introduction to Biology August 2‚ 2013 * The title of the article that I have chosen for this assignment is “The Era of Memory Engineering Has Arrived”. The article begins by explaining a basic plot of a sci-fi movie in which the main character has had his memories altered by scientists using electrode caps. The article then goes into detail about how a new set of experiments‚ led by MIT neuroscientists

“Biology Article” Barbara Manley Professor Trinna S. Johnson Introduction to Biology May 9‚ 2013 A New System for Cancer Detection This article summarizes a new technique that would allow for cancer cell detection without being invasive to a person’s body. It states that currently‚ human cancer cell detection is conducted through a person being cut on or biopsied. This new procedure allows for humans bodily fluids to be utilized in detecting cancer cells. Chandra states‚ “While current

Obesity and Biology Obesity isn’t classified as an eating problem anymore. It is more than that a person’s biology plays a big roll. Cells and hormones play a big roll on how big you are and how your body regulates energy. Food equals energy and the body stores that energy in fat cells and uses the energy as needed. The metabolism breaks down that food and uses the energy generated from that food for everyday activities such as walking‚ talking‚ thinking. The faster ones metabolism is the more efficient

Basic Biology Genetic diversity describes the genetic differences seen among members of a population. What this means that that every individual on the planet is different from one another in some way. This is because we have either high genetic diversity‚ or a low genetic diversity‚ which is seen through the size of the gene pool from which we came. If we happen to live in a gene pool that has a high concentration of genetic diversity‚ then we are more like to have many different genetic combinations
