Marine Biology is the scientific study of organisms that are dependent on water. Marine Biology is an interesting topic to many people because of the exotic animals you get to work with. A career in Marine Biology can be dangerous because of the wild animals‚ but at the same time it can be fun. It takes time‚ training‚ and intelligence to succeed in the career. In order to make it in this Biology field you must complete a college work in oceanography‚ marine biology‚ or conservation. You will

Monica Perez Experiment 8: Acetylsalicylic Acid Experiment 01/25/2013 CHM Lab- 2211 Sec 0016 Instructor: Jennifer Reed Introduction: Commonly used as Aspirin‚ acetylsalicylic acid is an analgesic (pain reliever)‚ which is one of the products of the esterification reaction between salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. This esterification occurs since the hydroxyl group from the salicylic acid reacts with acetic anhydride to form an ester. In this experiment‚ we will be able to recreate

Memory and Biology There are many events in a person’s life that leave an impression or may “change” a person’s perspective or path. From birth to death the mind is recording lessons and adding to the infinite storage space known as memory. Classical conditioning Lives are filled with many lessons; some of these are learned through classical conditioning‚ operant conditioning‚ and behavioral observation. A simple example of classical conditioning would

CYCLES IN BIOLOGY This essay will give examples of cycles in biology from different scales of magnification‚ ranging from molecular level to populations and ecosystems. Cycles are sequences of events which repeat themselves in the same order‚ one event leading to the next. There are many examples of these in Biology. Cycles can be seen even at a molecular level in the body. An example of this would include the passage of action potentials down neurones in the nervous system. When the cell membrane
