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

Bio 115 Exam 1 Study Guide These topics will be on the exam. ▪ What are the tenets of cell theory? • Cells are the basic structural and physiological units of all living organisms. • Cells are both distinct entities and building blocks of more complex organisms. OR • All living organisms are composed of one or more cells‚ Cells are the basic units of structure and function in an organism‚ and Cells come only from the reproduction of existing

Plastids • Photosynthesize or store materials • Found only in plants and certain protists. • A familiar plastid is the chloroplast which contains the green pigment chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis • Light is converted to energy of chemical bonds‚ provides food for the plant and for other organisms. • Chloroplasts have a double membrane like mitochondria. o Chloroplasts contain membrane structures that look like stacks of pancakes – called grana. o The circular stacks that make up grana

Free Photosynthesis
In order to understand photosynthesis‚ we need to know that chloroplasts absorb light energy from the sun‚ the plant then takes that energy along with water and carbon dioxide and changes it to sugar and oxygen. This happens in order for the plants to grow. But‚ light energy comes in a spectrum of colors called visible light. When visible light is absorbed it is also reflected‚ such as the green and yellow range. Photosynthetic pigments also protect plants from UV rays. Carotenoids absorb light in

Abstract: Two parts of this lab were performed involving photosynthesis and cellular respiration. The first part of the lab consisted of cutting out spinach leaf disks with a straw and then putting them into syringes containing an infiltration solution and sodium bicarbonate. Then the syringes were place under the presence of light and watched as certain disks floated. This part of the lab consisted of watching photosynthesis take place. Then for the second part of the lab we tested cellular respiration

Introduction There are about a million different kinds of seeds in our world with all of the different types of plants that we have. One type of seed that takes between three to five days to germinate is a daikon radish. The radish (Raphanus sativus ) originated from China. It was commonly seen and eaten by the people of Egypt long before the Egyptians started to construct their very own pyramids. Later on‚ radishes became a common vegetable to eat in Greece‚ and since the radish meant so much worth
