Biology textbook- pg. 80 3) Distinguish between the autotrophic and heterotrophic nature of plants and animals. Animals have heterotrophic cells; hence‚ they live off nutrients of other species by eating. Most plants have autotrophic cells‚ which allow them to generate their own food with photosynthesis. 4) Explain the following statement: ‘All living things depend on plants’. As animals are heterotrophs‚ they need to eat other species to survive. If mammals only depended on other mammals‚ there

Tomato Sweetness Jessica Pursell American InterContinental University 01/18/2015 Biology IP2 Introduction You and your neighbor have small kitchen gardens where you both grow tomatoes. His blotchy green and red tomatoes taste much sweeter than your perfectly uniform red ones. Could the sweetness of the tomatoes be effected by the green chloroplasts in the fruit? Hypothesis I personally think that the green chloroplasts do play a part in the sweetness of the tomatoes because it doesn’t

Abstract: The focus of this experiment was to identify unknown bacteria provided. The identification of unknown bacteria is beneficial in many aspects of the research of microorganisms and also aids physicians to treat patients correctly. Various tests were performed to provide the fermentation abilities‚ presence of particular enzymes‚ and biochemical reactions. Qualitative observations were made on the tests in identification process. The data from experimentation provided sufficient results

AP Biology Study Guide Chapter 11 1. Categorize chemical signals in terms of the proximity of the communicating cells. Local signaling – a. Paracrine signaling – a secreting cell acts on nearby target cells by discharging molecules of a local regulator (a growth factor‚ for example) into the extracellular fluid. b. Synaptic signaling – a nerve cell releases neurotransmitter molecules into a synapse‚ stimulating the target cell. Long distance signaling- c. Hormonal signaling – specialized

Biology Revision Notes Biochemical Tests: Proteins - add biurettes reagent to the sample. If protein is present‚ clear colour change from blue to purple. Reducing Sugars – add Benedict’s reagent to the sample. Heat in Bunsen or water bath. If reducing sugars are present‚ clear colour changes from blue -> orange red precipitate. Lipids – dissolve sample in ethanol. Slowly pour the solution into the water slowly. If lipids are present a white emulation forms on the surface. Starch – add iodine

ESSENTIALS OF ECOLOGY (Chapter 9) 1. Review the Key Questions and Concepts for this chapter on p. 184. What factors led to the premature extinction of the passenger pigeon in the United States? Factors that led to the premature extinction of the passenger pigeon are uncontrolled commercial hunting and habitat loss. Passenger pigeon in the 1858 became a big hunting business. Weapons like shotguns‚ traps and artilleries were used and even the burning of sulfur in suffocating the birds. These threats

CHAPTER 1 Coagulation Pathway and Physiology Jerry B. Lefkowitz‚ MD Introduction Our understanding of blood clotting is intimately tied to the history of civilization. With the advent of writing 5000 years ago‚ it could be argued that the first symbols used for blood‚ bleeding‚ or clotting represented the first published coagulation pathway. The ancient peoples of the world always held blood in utmost mystical esteem. Through the ages‚ this esteem has been transmitted to modern times in the
