AP Biology Name: Chapter 51 Guided Reading 1. How do behavioral ecologists define behavior? Behavioral ecologists define behavior as everything an animal does and how it does it 2. What is the focus of: a. Proximate questions of behavior? Focuses on the environmental stimuli‚ if any‚ that trigger a particular behavioral act‚ as well as the genetic‚ physiological‚ and anatomical mechanisms underlying it. b. Ultimate questions of behavior? Focuses on the evolutionary significance

extremely high and low energies as well as large and small length scales. Still until recently we knew very little about one of the most complex on everyday�s length and energy scales systems � life. Now we are at the dawn of efflorescence in molecular biology‚ which provides an excellent basis for application of modern physics‚ biochemistry and computational techniques. Revelations of molecular structure become extremely crucial‚ as they provide insights into the way molecules work. My interest in the

r Marine Biology is the study of ocean animals. Biology means is the study of life and marine means water. A marine biologist studies biology and chemistry. Marine biochemist studies biologically active compounds found in the ocean which are useful in medicine‚ or the genetics of marine species. The chemical properties of the ocean are important to understand because the marine environment supports the greatest abundance of life on earth. (http://marinebio.org/oceans/ocean-chemistry.asp) As

Biology Digestion IA 13/03/2013 Jason Gao Rationale: Digestion is the chemical breakdown of food into smaller components that are more easily absorbed. Digestion is a form of catabolism: a breakdown of large food molecules to smaller ones. When food enters into stomach‚ gastric juice starts protein digestion. Gastric juice mainly contains hydrochloric acid and pepsin. The pH value of hydrochloric in the stomach

Evolution Unit: Objectives AP Biology Upon the completion of the textbook readings in Chapters 22-26 you should be able to: Chapter 22 1. Explain how the principle of gradualism and Charles Lyell’s theory of uniformitarianism influenced Darwin’s ideas about evolution. The basic idea of natural selection is that a population of organisms can change over the generations if individuals having certain heritable traits leave more offspring than other individuals. The result of natural selection

Evolution Evolution- change in a population over time Charles Darwin: A Naturalist (type of biologist) Sailed with an explorer on the HMS Beagle to the Galapagos Island in 1831 (22 years old) He observed Turtles: On the island they were huge and had to eat food up high (the neck would extend) over time‚ the shell changed. The ones with the short necks died off because of lack of food Published the book: Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection (to beat Wallace) He’s Catholic Owen-
