Marine biology I would be an extremely happy man if I could do what I love for the rest of my life.With the many issues going on in our waters such as overfishing‚ pollution‚ and global warming. Marine biologists work hard day in and out to put an end to these terrible things that occur more often that one thinks. Did u know Water covers the 71 percent of the earth. As a kid must of my summers were spent at my family’s lake house and I loved every minute of it. I saw a lot of terrible things

The article “Biology is Beauty” by Geoffrey Cowley touches on the aspects behind beauty. The article states that everyone shares a sense of what is attractive. Basically‚ Cowley is stating that people are attracted to what is on the outside‚ even if we do not know it. Even though points of attraction can vary over societies‚ beauty is an innate quality we all think of. The article touches on a few examples that the author feels explains. First‚ Cowley says that humans love symmetry; people prefer

In biology and ecology‚ extinction is the end of an organism or of a group of organisms (taxon)‚ normally a species. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the species‚ although the capacity to breed and recover may have been lost before this point. Because a species’ potential range may be very large‚ determining this moment is difficult‚ and is usually done retrospectively. This difficulty leads to phenomena such as Lazarus taxa‚ where a species

Biology is a wonderful subject that many students enjoy. But as life would have it (no pun intended)‚ this study is not a favorite of the majority of students who pass through the halls of school. Here are a few questions about biology and some answers to them. So why do we study biology? A lot of students trying to get through school stare at the mountain of work this class involves and struggle through. Some rationalize that it’s good to be well rounded in science or just school in general

has a specific history‚ and started in a time where being “colored skin” is considered abnormal. While being white was the norm‚ at that time biology was important and science was influencing the population. Indeed‚ there were‚ are and will be physical differences between people. Yet‚ what is significant about these when it comes to race is not the biology of those differences‚ but the social weight we attach to them. Therefore‚ the race still exists not because it is biological or normal‚ but because

Chapter 1 Exploring Life Lecture Outline Overview: Biology’s Most Exciting Era Biology is the scientific study of life. You are starting your study of biology during its most exciting era. The largest and best-equipped community of scientists in history is beginning to solve problems that once seemed unsolvable. Biology is an ongoing inquiry about the nature of life. Biologists are moving closer to understanding: How a single cell develops into an adult animal or plant. How plants convert

Catherin Escobar 1. What is liver mortis? How might this reveal information about the time of death? Liver Mortis is the settling of blood in the lowest parts of the body after death. This process usually begins 8 to 12 hours after death and can help investigators tell if the body has been moved. 2.What three aspects does a forensic autopsy seek information about? Describe each of these aspects? Cause of death- medical problem that leads to death. Mechanism of death- any weapon or instrument

Forensic biology is the application of biology to law enforcement.It includes the subdisciplines of Forensic anthropology‚ Forensic botany‚ Forensic entomology‚ Forensic odontology and various DNA or protein based techniques. Applications Forensic biology has been used to prove a suspect was at a crime scene‚ identify illegal products from endangered species solve crimes by matching crime scene evidence to suspects‚ investigate airplane bird strikes‚ and investigate bird collisions with wind turbines

Biology coursework: Substrate specificity in yeast AIM: To find out which substrate (glucose‚ starch‚ maltose‚ sucrose or lactose)‚ does yeast‚ the organism containing the enzyme‚ breaks down the quickest. Introduction: Usually‚ every enzyme has a specific substrate that is what we call the “lock and key” theory. We can try the reaction of an enzyme with different substrates and this enzyme will just work well with one of those substrates. One type of reaction catalyzed by enzymes is anaerobic respiration
