I have been inspired to pursue biology as a subject since my time at high school. During my GCSE stages of high school‚ I became fascinated by animal behaviour‚ ecology and evolution of different species and different organisms. Developing on from this‚ my current studies in applied science has enabled me to enjoy participating in practicals‚ working in a group‚ and working as an individual‚ having the opportunity to widen my experiences in practical sciences. I have particularly enjoyed scientific

“life.” How do we study life? Life is studied in biology‚ biology is the study of life because in biology we analyze specimens‚ like micro organisms and bigger organisms like the human body through microscopes. We also further analyze the 6 characteristics of life in biology. By experimentation‚ and observing various things like cells and animals‚ and trying to establish fact by finding a pattern.. Why do we study about life in biology? Well we study

What is metabolism? All living things must have an unceasing supply of energy and matter. The transformation of this energy and matter within the body is called metabolism. Metabolism includes two different types: catabolism and anabolism. Catabolism is destructive metabolism. Typically‚ in catabolism‚ larger organic molecules are broken down into smaller constituents. This usually occurs with the release of energy. Anabolism is constructive metabolism. Typically‚ in anabolism‚ small precursor

I am very good at Biology as it is the main subject required for this course and have a good understanding on a cellular level of organisms (plants and animals). I am a negotiator and prefer to work in teams‚ paying close attention to everyone’s opinion and making decisions accordingly. I have studied all three sciences at school level and because Biology was the subject I was very much interested in is what has compelled me to pursue a career in a Biology related field. At level 3 I am

AP Biology Summer Assignment Chapter 50.1: An Introduction to Ecology and the Biosphere Ecology is the scientific study of how organisms interact with the environment. When studying Ecology scientists want to know‚ where organisms live‚ why they live there‚ and how many are there. Ecology and environmental biology both stem from Darwin’s interest and observations upon the distribution of organisms and how they adapted to their specific environment. Darwin concluded that the environment interacting

Microorganisms: * Small living organisms; there are 3 types * Bacteria – ecoli‚ salmonella * Fungi – mushrooms‚ athletes foot * Virus – influenza (flu)‚ HIV * When they enter our body‚ they multiply and release toxins / harmful chemicals into our blood * They duplicate every 20 minutes * Physical barriers: eyelashes prevent MO’s from entering through our eyes‚ nasal hairs reduce them‚ skin is a barrier to them (although they can enter through cuts)‚ chemicals in tears

The human brain doesn’t only grow physically‚ it also grows by learning. The biology of learning is very interesting and taught me what learning really is like what is does‚ when it is done‚ and how it can be done better. The brain can learn to multi-task‚ to learn better by sleeping‚ and to understand information by what type of learner we are. This essay will tell you how the brain works and some other things you need to know about learning. In the essay “The Biology of Learning”‚ Stephen Londe

Michelle Gordon‚ TJ (Group 4) Section 33 Yeast Cell Respiration 10/04/2010 Part B: Explanation of Results All cells carry out the process of cell respiration in order to meet their energy needs. It is advantageous for cells to have the ability to metabolize different substrates. In this experiment‚ we investigated each sugar’s (glucose‚ lactose‚ sucrose‚ fructose‚ and lactose/lactaid) cell respiration rate. When referring to my group’s graph and data‚ glucose ended up with the highest

Title: Grass Growth Effect Jessica Suarez Option A: Observation: During the winter‚ you spread salt daily on your driveway to melt the snow. In the springtime‚ when the lawn begins to grow‚ you notice that there is no grass growing for about 3 inches from the driveway. Furthermore‚ the grass seems to be growing more slowly up to about 1 foot from the driveway. Question: Might grass growth be inhibited by salt? My hypothesis is that the grass growth in being inhibited by salt. A typical
