problem-solving ability‚ as well as team skills. These skills are very important and are practised a lot in marine biology‚ especially good written communication as you are constantly writing scientific reports on research and information collected. Everyday I try to apply these skills

meeting these challenges‚ based on the mechanisms of biology and the principles of physics. Biology studies our life‚ its variety and complexity and physics looks for mathematical laws of nature and makes predictions about the forces that drive idealized systems. The main challenge of Biophysics is to span the distance between the complexity of life and the simplicity of physical laws. In other words biophysics acts as a bridge between biology and physics. Biophysicists’ main job is to study life

• Chapter 7 o Online questions • The fluid mosaic model is now generally accepted for the description of all biological membranes • Transmembrane segments of membrane proteins anchor membrane proteins in the lipid bilayer. • A ganglioside is not a phospholipid. • Thin-layer chromatography separates lipids based on hydrophobicity. • Unsaturated fatty acids have double bonds and increased membrane fluidity. • Cholesterol increases fluidity at low temperatures and decreases fluidity at high temperatures

How does movie Gattaca relate to biology? The movie Gattaca directed by Andrew Niccol is about “a genetically inferior man assumes the identity of a superior one in order to pursue his lifelong dream of space travel”. During the process (to become as same as Jerome Morrow‚ the superior)‚ Vincent goes through lots of different operations‚ including physical and genetic operations. As we watched it and saw the operations and the doctors in the beginning of the movie‚ we connected happenings to the

The journey to becoming a marine biologist is one that is embarked with hard work and keen determination. When I boarded on this journey as a student majoring in marine biology‚ I have always been fascinated by ocean exploration and how new scientific discoveries have revolutionized around it. I also live with great enthusiasm for conducting oceanic research‚ and I have always envisioned myself using scientific instruments and modern day technologies to conduct such research. The Ocean and Climate

Osmosis Case study You are a veterinarian working in Indooroopilly and return from lunch to find a nurse treating a six year old kelpie‚ Baxter. Baxter is very lethargic‚ has an increased heart rate‚ and when you pinch his skin the fold remains visible. The owner tells you that they knew something was wrong when‚ upon returning to the outdoor car park from a three hour shopping trip‚ they saw Baxter passed out on the back seat. The temperature in the car would have been very high and Baxter

UNIT 1 – What is Biology? What is biology? the study of living organisms‚ divided into many specialized fields that cover their morphology‚ physiology‚ anatomy‚ behavior‚ origin‚ and distribution. Biotic vs. abiotic factors Biotic- living factors i.e. plants‚ animals‚ fungi‚ bacteria‚ and protest Abiotic- nonliving factors that affect living organisms.

Types of species 1. Endemic species Endemism is the ecological state of a species being unique to a defined geographic location‚ such as an island‚ nation‚ country or other defined zone‚ or habitat type; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. they are only found in certain locations‚ they require special conservation efforts Animal examples: Lemurs of Madagascar‚ tortoises of the Galapagos‚ polar bears‚ koalas‚ kangaroos.

The Ted Talk video entitled “Animations of Unseeable Biology” describes the process of DNA replication. As the speaker Drew Berry explains‚ this process is repeatedly occurring and is performed mechanically. He provides us an animation of how a chromosome is replicated and split with the help of microtubules. Microtubules are straight tubes that are made up of proteins and it resides within a cell. This hollow tube allows the mitosis phase to occur. The copying of DNA is transported across the microtubules

Advanced Cell Biology II Step 1: How will you identify the “vital” cellular protein that the virus targets for degradation? (Hint: think proteomics). (3 pts.) First‚ since we know the viral RNA sequence and its targeting protein‚ we can investigate it in bioinformatics database‚ and can acquire some clues or hints about the target proteins. From the bioinformatics database‚ we might be able to find its structure‚ similarity with other proteins‚ functions‚ and binding domains. In other words
