fact that 95% of our sea is unexplored has always fascinated me. We use water in everyday life and without it there would be no life on Earth‚ yet we know so little about it. Both my academic and personal life has developed my interest in marine biology. My interest in wildlife and outdoor work drove me to successfully apply for the post of volunteer assistant at Washington Wetlands centre‚ I started in January 2013 and attend at least once a week.

Light Reflection and Refraction Pre-Lab using PhET I) Introduction: When a light ray strikes a smooth interface separating two transparent materials (like air‚ glass‚ or water)‚ the wave is partly reflected and partly refracted (or transmitted) into the second material. For an example of this‚ imagine you are outside looking at a restaurant window. You can probably see both the inside of the restaurant (from the refracted light) and some of the street behind you (from the reflected light). Similarly

Biology has been the most interesting and appealing subject I have taken. Taking the course as a freshman‚ and the AP course as a junior‚ has really influenced my choice of a potential major. The course taught me how to be more studious and efficient with the information I retain. It is a puzzle‚ in which you piece together process by process‚ step by step. AP Biology also enhanced my collaboration skills. The course is very rigorous and challenging‚ and I struggled often trying to do it all by myself

Darwin founded a new branch of life science‚ evolutionary biology. Four of his contributions to evolutionary biology are especially important‚ as they held considerable sway beyond that discipline. The first is the nonconstancy of species‚ or the modern conception of evolution itself. The second is the notion of branching evolution‚ implying the common descent of all species of living things on earth from a single unique origin. Many people are familiar with how Darwin came up with the theory of

would like to be a marine biologist. During my senior year of high school I applied to Millersville University to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Biology‚ with a concentration in marine biology. Through my undergraduate studies‚ my interest in biological oceanography developed. There are many overlapping aspects of biological oceanography and marine biology that interest me and why I want to pursue a graduate degree in this field. I am particularly interested in marine phytoplankton‚ their role in

The class that I believe sparked my interest was my second semester of general biology at Paradise Valley Community College. During this class‚ I was introduced to the intricate details of cells and the idea that microscopic organisms outnumber all other living things on Earth. This class also provided me with information about viruses‚ which quickly became most interesting topic for me. Following the general biology course‚ I took microbiology and became even more interested in microorganisms and

Discuss the role of the membrane in the movement of materials through each of the following processes: a.) Active Transport b.) Passive Transport All living cells contain a plasma membrane‚ which acts a boundary for the cell. The plasma membrane regulates the cell’s chemical composition because it uses selective permeability to allow certain substances to enter or exit the cell

Bioethics is the study of typically controversial ethics brought about by advances in biology and medicine. It is also moral discernment as it relates to medical policy‚ practice‚ and research. Bioethicists are concerned with the ethical questions that arise in the relationships among life sciences‚ biotechnology‚ medicine‚ politics‚ law‚ and philosophy. It also includes the study of the more commonplace questions of values which arise in primary care and other branches of medicine. History
