PATTERNS IN NATURE – Summary Notes 1. ORGANISMS ARE MADE OF CELLS THAT HAVE SIMILAR STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS 1.1 Outline the historical development of the cell theory‚ in particular‚ the contributions of Robert Hooke and Robert Brown The Cell Theory states that: All living things are made of cells (Theodor Schwann & Matthias Schleiden) Cells are the basic structural and functional unit of organisms (Theodor Schwann) All cells come from pre-existing cells (Rudolf Virchow) The historical

Bacteria are microscopic living things that were among the first creatures to inhabit the earth. They can be found almost anywhere‚ and they come in all forms and shapes‚ some being harmful to other living things like man

sweet” Diabetes is an extremely common and well known disease that becomes more and more common every day. The disease is based on sugar is the body‚ or glucose. When your body breaks down carbohydrates‚ it produces glucose‚ and essential sugar for the human body. There is a bodily function in which insulin helps the body use glucose‚ and this process is broken in diabetics. Due to this‚ the amount of sugar in a diabetic is raised to dangerously high levels. The consequences to leaving this untreated

courses. According to the College Board’s website‚ AP Biology courses are designed to be the equivalent of a college introductory course‚ usually taken during a biology major’s first year of college. Students who choose to take AP Biology may be allowed to skip over introductory biology courses and enroll in courses in which biology is a prerequisite. Because universities grant college credit for this course‚ they require that the textbooks‚ labs‚ and coursework used by AP courses be equivalent to

Exciting Era Biology is the scientific study of life. You are starting your study of biology during its most exciting era. The largest and best-equipped community of scientists in history is beginning to solve problems that once seemed unsolvable. Biology is an ongoing inquiry about the nature of life. Biologists are moving closer to understanding: How a single cell develops into an adult animal or plant. How plants convert solar energy into the chemical energy of food. How the human mind works

Lung Capacity I. Introduction. The chest contains two lungs‚ one lung on the right side of the chest‚ the other on the left side of the chest. Each lung is made up of sections called lobes. The lungs are soft and protected by the ribcage. The purpose of the lungs is to bring oxygen into the body and to remove carbon dioxide. Oxygen is a gas that provides us with energy‚ while carbon dioxide is a waste product or “exhaust” of the body. | To deliver oxygen to the body‚ air is breathed in through

Gas exchange is a biological process that is essential for the survival of an organism. The purpose of this process is to obtain oxygen from the environment (which is necessary for cellular respiration‚ and to dispose of CO2‚ a bi product of respiration. An efficient gas exchange system has 3 requirements. It must have a large surface area over which the gases can diffuse. A large surface area maximises the amount of area available for the gases to exchange. It must also be moist. Oxygen must first
