THE KEY ROLES OF CELL DIVISION The ability of organisms to reproduce best distinguishes living things from nonliving matter. The continuity of life is based on reproduction of cells‚ or cell division. In unicellular organisms like amoeba‚ division of one cell reproduces the entire organism. Multicellular organisms depend on cell division for: — Development from a fertilized cell — Growth — Repair Cell division is an integral part of the

Unit 5 Case Study Mariella Hines is a 9 year-old African-American girl attending the 3rd grade in the JFK School. She was referred to the School Psychologist because she has recently become very withdrawn during class‚ refusing to speak to anyone‚ including her teacher and peers. Previously she seemed to have age-appropriate social skills‚ interacting well at school. Her withdrawal started suddenly. Mariella’s teacher‚ Mrs. Levine‚ called Mariella’s mother to find out more information‚ but her

genetic variation that can exist between strains (Biology Department‚ 2014). For this experiment‚ I hypothesize that I will see differences at the biochemical level due to the morphological differences that exist within these three strains. My prediction to test my hypothesis is that the banding patterns between the strains will be different. Materials and Methods I followed the preparation and the extraction procedure according to the lab manual (Biology Department‚ 2014). Results I observed that

For those that are testable: • Write a hypothesis and null hypothesis • What would be your experimental approach? • What are the dependant and independent variables? • What is your control? • How will you collect data? • How will you present your data (charts‚ graphs‚ types)? • How will you analyze your data? 1. When a plant is placed on a window sill‚ it grows faster than when it

| 2012 | | Toby Rheinberger Lab Partner: Jeremy Saba | [The Effect of surface area to volume ratio and solute concentration on osmosis.] | The aim of this experiment was to test the effect of surface area on osmosis and the effect of solute concentration on osmosis. To test this aim to hypotheses were devised. 1) If potato pieces are immersed in various salt solutions‚ then the pieces with the greatest surface area to volume ratio will experience the greatest weight change‚ because more

How Enzymes Work In Different Environments By Sarah Smith Biology1111 October 20‚ 2011 Lab Partner: Nellie Greer ABSTRACT Peroxidase is an enzyme found in potatoes that catalyzes the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide‚ H2O2‚ into O2 gas and water. We examined the different pH environments that can affect the enzyme activity during the breakdown of H2O2. In order to do this‚ we added different levels of pH‚ low‚ medium‚ and high‚ into different test tubes with the enzyme and H2O2‚

Dry Wallum The dry wallum is a harsh environment that is battered by the sun and wind every day and with a base of porous sand; water availability is very scarce and must be conserved. The abiotic factors in the dry wallum are that the area is exposed to high amounts of sunlight which causes a loss of water in the leaves through transpiration. Since the wallum is so dry and hot; bush fires play a major cycle in the dry wallum which the trees have adapted to cope with. The roots of the plant and
