1 Study Guide for Lectures 8/24‚ 8/26‚ 8/31‚ and 9/2 Note: It is highly suggested that you reference the figures/figure legends shown in class to further help you understand class material. The Genome Project (~92% complete): • 20‚000-28‚000 genes in the human genome o The genome was found using a shotgun sequence. o 10% of the genome is Long Intersperse Nuclear Elements (=LINEs). This leaves the questions as to which part of the genome are LINEs? 80‚000-120‚000 proteins in a cell. 200‚000-2

Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability 1 EXERCISE 1 OBJECTIVES 1. To define the following terms: differential permeability‚ passive and active processes of transport‚ diffusion (simple diffusion‚ facilitated dif- fusion‚ and osmosis)‚ solute pump‚ pinocytosis‚ and phagocytosis. 2. To describe the processes that account for the movement of sub- stances across the plasma membrane‚ and to indicate the driving force for each. 3. To determine which way substances will move passively

The CELL THEORY‚ or cell doctrine‚ states that all organisms are composed of similar units of organization‚ called cells. The concept was formally articulated in 1839 by Schleiden & Schwann and has remained as the foundation of modern biology. The idea predates other great paradigms of biology including Darwin’s theory of evolution (1859)‚ Mendel’s laws of inheritance (1865)‚ and the establishment of comparative biochemistry (1940). Ultrastructural research and modern molecular biology have

KEY CONCEPT-Plant life began in the water and became adapted to land. Plants are multicellular eukaryotes‚ most of which produce their own food through photosynthesis and have adapted to life on land. Plants share many characteristics with green algae. Both are photosynthetic eukaryotes with the same types of chlorophyll. Both also use starch as a storage product and have cell walls that contain cellulose. One ancient species of green algae is the common ancestor of all plants. If it were alive

Cell and Heredity Study Guide Chapter 1- Introduction to cells 1. All living things are able to live‚ grow‚ and reproduce 2. Cells are formed parts of an organism and carry out all of its functions in living things 3. CELL THEORY- a. All living things are composed of cells b. Cells are the basic units of structure and function of living things c. All cells are produced from other cells 4. Microscopes focus light through lenses to produce a magnified image and

title: (Plant Protection) NAME: Karl Fitzpatrick. Date: 16/12/15. Describe five specific situations where pest and disease control measures are required: Vineweevil: This is an insect that attacks a wide range of plants‚ both indoors and outdoors‚ but can be especially damaging to container plants. He needs to be controlled otherwise he will kill the plant. Adult weevils eat plant leaves during spring and summer‚ its the grubs in autumn winter attack the roots of the plants‚ plants growing

Cells‚ Cell Division‚ and Cell Specialization Fundamentally Different Types of Cell Prokaryotic Cell- single celled: only DNA+ structure (“before nucleus”) E.g. zygote-complete DNA Eukaryotic Cell-multi-celled (“after nucleus”) Prokaryotes Eukaryotes DNA In “nucleoid” region Within membrane-bound nucleus Chromosomes Single‚ circular Multiple‚ linear Organelles None Membrane-bound organelles Size Usually smaller Usually larger- 50 times Organization Usually single-celled Often multicellular

Cellular Energetics Study Guide 1. Overall Metabolism a. Oxidation – a molecule LOSSES hydrogen‚ energy is RELEASED b. Reduction – a molecule GAINS hydrogen‚ energy is GAINED and stored (the more reduced a molecule is‚ the more energy is stored in its COVALENT BONDS) *** Always occur in a coupled pair (RED-OX)*** c. Electron Carriers i. Oxidizing Agents: are REDUCED to OXIDIZE another molecule 1. NAD+ - oxidizes glucose to 2 pyruvate in glycolysis

we live. Meaning we have to become sustainable in everything we do before it too late. The need for clean water air‚ affordable and reliable delivery of energy is sincerely needed by both the present generation and mostly future generation. Smarter Plant is a corporative initiative for IBM. IBM has made sustainability one of their top priorities. They are trying to produce products and processes that are more efficient for both the environment and business world. They are also developing new innovations

EXERCISE 1: A BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO THE STUDY OF PLANT STRUCTURE Adonay‚ Jessa and Velos‚ Mary Angelie Biology Program‚ Sciences Cluster University of the Philippines Cebu Lahug‚ Cebu City‚ Philippines ABSTRACT Plants have essential requirements to survive like all other living being. Roots‚ stems‚ leaves‚ and flower serve to help them acquire or provide for these requirements. Plants exposed to different climates pose different arrangement in the structures’ tissues.
