A.P. Biology Summer Project Going Green as You Clean  Question: Are green detergents less toxic than conventional detergent and which has a greater affect on the environment? Background: Over the course scientist have conducted research and preformed experiments to examine the toxicity level of dish washing detergents. Thereby‚ even the simplest task of washing our dishes after meals can have an impact on the environment. The debate whether “green” or conventional detergents are environmentally

Origin of Modern Humans Scientists have attempted to explain the origin of modern humans using models. Outline and critique the arguments presented in the “Multiregional”‚ “Assimilation”‚ and “Replacement” Models of modern human origins; referring to evidence from fossil finds and dates; genetics; and the archaeological record.

used directly by the cell as an energy source. Mitochondria tend to be concentrated near cellular structures that require large inputs of energy‚ such as the flagellum. The role of the mitochondria is very important in respiration. In the presence of oxygen‚ pyruvate or fatty acids‚ can be further oxidized in the mitochondria. Each mitochondrion is enclosed by two membranes separated by an intermembrane space. The intermembrane space extends into the folds of the inner membrane called cristae which

Bio Med. 5.1.1 What is Cholesterol? Unsaturated fat: fat or fatty acid in which there is at least one double bond within the fatty acid chain. Saturated fat: Fat that consists of triglycerides containing only saturated fatty acid radicals Trans fat: the common name for unsaturated fat with trans-isomer fatty acid Cholesterol: A compound of the sterol type‚ found in most body tissues and important in metabolism All these things go together because they affect the cholesterol blood

Evolution of Eukaryotic Cells from Prokaryotic Cells DNA- Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)‚ a self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms‚ is the acid that carries genetic information. RNA- Ribonucleic acid (RNA)‚ is an acid that is present in all living cells‚ it’s main role is to act as messenger and carry instructions from DNA fro controlling the synthesis of proteins. What are Eukaryotic Cells and Eukaryotic Organisms? A eukaryotic cell is a cell that contains complex

State of the art on Bio-cutting fluids in Machining Submitted by: Abstract The increasing attention to the environmental and health impacts of industrial activities by governmental regulations and by the growing awareness level in the society is forcing industrialists to reduce the use of mineral oil-based metalworking fluids as cutting fluid. Cutting fluids have been used extensively in metal cutting operations for the last 200 years. In the beginning‚ cutting fluids consisted of simple

allow cell phones to be sold without pre-market testing. The rationale‚ known as the “low power exclusion‚” distinguished cell phones from dangerous microwave ovens based on the amount of power used to push the microwaves. At that time‚ the only health effect seen from microwaves involved high power strong enough to heat human tissue. The pressure worked‚ and cell phones were exempted from any type of regulatory oversight‚ an exemption that continues today. An eager public grabbed up the cell phones

Observance of Artificial Selection: Technical Study of Wisconsin Fast Plants 5th and 6th period AP Biology Due: 12/16/13 Abstract This experiment was used to explore the Theory of Evolution created by Charles Darwin. The use of natural selection was apparent in the artificial modification of an organism ’s traits which aided in this investigation. Through this experiment the Wisconsin Fast Plant was used. It is a fast-growing organism developed to improve the resistance to disease in

1.) In a plant having two carried alleles for the color of a flower in a gene‚ with P for purple and p for white‚ the three possible combinations which might exist in any one plant are PP making a purple plant‚ pp to make a white plant‚ or Pp resulting in a ‘hybrid’ plant. 2.) Out of the genotypes PP‚ Pp‚ pp‚ the resultant flower colors are (as described above in exercise 1) are purple (for PP‚) purple or purplish-white (for Pp- likely purple as it is dominant‚ or a mixture of the colors‚) or white
