UNIT 1: Lesson 1 Key Questions: 1. Magnesium consists of 12 electrons; 2 + indicates a loss of 2 electrons; therefore‚ it now has 10 electrons. 2. The isotope would not be useful for dating bones that are over a million years old because carbon-14 decay at a constant rate‚ with a half-life of 5730 years. Therefore‚ after 40‚ 000 years‚ les than 1% of the carbon-14 is left in the tissue. As a result‚ there is not enough of the isotope in the tissues to determine the age of the bones. 3. The four

Topic 2- Pages 38-39 1a. A is a substrate for the enzyme as it has the complementary shape to fit into it. 1b. The non-competitive inhibitor decreases the RoR as it binds to somewhere else than the active site and then causes the active site to change shape meaning the substrate is no longer complementary so it wouldn’t bind together. 1ci. Peptide 1cii. The 35 and 52 amino acids are held close to form the active site due to the tight folding of the polypeptide chains 2ai. There will be

BIOLOGY Biology is the study of life -- life in all of its grandeur. From the very small algae to the very large elephant‚ life has a certain wonder about it. With that in mind‚ how do we know if something is living? Is a virus alive or dead? What are the characteristics of life? These are all very important questions with equally important answers. Characteristics of Life Living tings include both the visible worlds of animals and plants as well as the invisible world of bacteria and viruses.On

POB II: Exam II Review Chapter 6: tour of the cell Microscopy: • Microscopes provide a window to the cell. • Most important tool in cytology • Resolution has improved understanding of cells. o Resolving power – the smallest distance between two objects that allows them to be seen as distinct objects. o Resolving power of the human eye is 0.1 mm • Light microscope – uses glass lenses and visible light to form a magnified image of an object. o Resolving power of about 100 nm (.0002 mm)

Biology 1010 is a course that introduces students to the basic biological phenomena in all living organisms. It focuses on the different molecular levels of organization‚ heredity in evolution‚ genetics and reproduction. Through this course‚ I was able to master three essential concepts such as Mendel’s Law of Segregation‚ enzymes‚ and photosynthesis. Gregor Mendel was an Augustinian monk that argued that parental traits are passed on to their offspring discrete “heritable factors”. Heritable factors
