pericardium? The inner layer of the pericardium is a serous membrane called the parietal layer of the pericardium. 8 What is the name of the serous membrane on the surface of the heart? The surface of the heart called the visceral layer‚ or epicardium. 9 What forms the pericardial cavity? The two portions of the serous membrane‚ the visceral and parietal layers form the pericardial cavity. 10 What is the function of the serous membrane? The serous membrane produces and maintains the serous fluid in the pericardial

Reactions to Gravity‚ Light and Food Jacob Kluth and Kelsey Jankowski Introduction This lab has introduced the use of daphnia‚ pill bugs‚ amoeba and Uglena. 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

Non climate threats such as habitat loss‚ habitat fragmentation‚ and invasive species and air and water pollution Fragmentation: often due to man (dams‚ roads‚ and general development) Elements of biodiversity: Species‚ ecosystems & landscapes Mammals from bats to bears Bats got the white nose fungus which caused the bats to die and the insect population flourished because the bats main job

Prerequisites: General Psychology (PSY1012) is a required prerequisite. In addition‚ it is highly recommended that students complete an introductory biology course previous to this class (BSC 1010 Biological Principles or BSC 2085 Anatomy & Physiology I). This course is built on the foundation of basic properties of cell biology. If students are unsure of whether their prerequisites provide enough background for this course‚ they should check with the professor. Textbooks 1

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
