on the historical development of the cell membrane structure‚ in which i described how the discovery of the hydrophobic properties of lipids eventually gave rise to the fluid mosaic model. In doing so‚ I learned how to structure a scientific report‚ gather information from reliable sources‚ and cite references appropriately. With these skills‚ I am prepared for more independent study as I move into higher education. I love the practical element of biology which is supported by the practical techniques

We the AP Biology students were first introduced to the test subjects to test his or her capability of handling living organisms for upcoming science experiments. The AP Biology students were asked to create original experiments for all test subjects testing reactions to gravity‚ light intensity and reaction to food. Daphnia‚ or Daphnia magna

Biology Exam Review Unit One – Biochemistry What is an isotope? Isotope - An isotope is all atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons‚ but they may have different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus. - This means that all atoms with the same atomic number can have different atomic masses. - Because they have the same number of protons and electrons‚ they behave exactly the same in chemical reactions. Radioisotope - The nuclei of some isotopes of an element are unstable

so the chromosomes must be decondesed to appear in the form of chromatin and that too in form of euchromatin if DNA remained organized in the sense that they would not be accessible for transcription. Before the chromosomes condense the nuclear membrane goes through meiosis which is cell division between and egg and sperm cell that determines the sex of a baby. The sex is found by the sperm which carries a X and Y sex chromosomes. Before the cell divides two sets of chromosomes pair together and
