What is Life? This perennial question the answer to which has somehow eluded the most brilliant minds. For while scientists have identified many years ago the right mix of the atoms and molecules that constitute cellular material‚ they have not succeeded in ‘switching it on’ to make it alive‚ or ‘breathing life’ into it (Rabago et.al‚2006) In this module you will: a. Explain the concepts of the cell theory b. Identify the parts of a cell c. Describe the function of each cell part d. Differentiate

Cyanobacteria’s big advantage over other early life forms was their ability to perform photosynthesis. They contain a blue photo reactive pigment that can absorb the energy from the sunlight and use it to produce nutrients for the cell. During this process‚ water molecules are broken down into oxygen and hydrogen atoms which are then released in the air. In the very early days of life‚ Earth was populated only by anaerobic bacteria that didn’t need oxygen to survive. When cyanobacteria first made

transport oxygen rich blood from the alveoli back to the heart. Inspiration (the process of inhaling) begins as the external intercostals and diaphragm contract. When this happens‚ the lungs expand. After this‚ negative pressure is used to facilitate respiration. So‚ air moves from an area of higher pressure‚ which is the air‚ to an area of lower pressure in the lungs and aveoli. During inspiration the diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract. The diaphragm moves downwards‚ while the intercostal muscles

and pH‚ and Manipulation of Specificity and Cofactors BIOL-1406-SL8 November 16‚ 2012 Abstract Enzymes are biological catalysts. They work by lowering the activation energy needed to initiate a chemical reaction. Enzymes work within an optimal temperature and optimal pH. Enzymes are highly specific for a single substrate. The Enzyme is usually much larger in size than the substrate it binds to. In some cases‚ an enzyme requires something called a cofactor to begin the chemical reaction. There were

McGowan Goldfish Respiration Lab Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to recognize the effects of temperature on the breathing rate of goldfish (Carassius auratus). Goldfish obtain oxygen from the water; the fish have to distribute the oxygen from the water into their bloodstream. This transfer of oxygen occurs over a surface area of capillary membranes contained in the feathery filaments of the gills located beneath the operculum. According to “The Respiration System of a Goldfish”

Problem: Does prior exercise affect the ability to squeeze a clothespin? Hypothesis: After exercise‚ people will be able to squeeze the clothespin faster than those without prior exercise. Materials: For this experiment a timer and a clothespin were used. Methods: To begin this experiment an individual was asked to squeeze a clothespin as many times as possible within one minute and the results were recorded. Then this same individual was asked to exercise (run in place‚ preferably)

All organisms on earth depend on photosynthesis‚ in which light energy is used to make sugar and other food molecules from carbon dioxide and water. For example‚ plants and other photo-synthesizers need only energy from sunlight‚ carbon dioxide from air‚ and water from the soil to make the sugar glucose. Photosynthesis is the most important chemical process on earth because it provides food for virtually all organisms‚ not only for photo-synthesizers but for the organisms that eat them. Plants can
