Gabriela Rios-Martinez March 1‚ 2014 BIO 141 Exam 1 Study Questions Chapter 1: Biology and the Tree of Life (#1 – 4) 1. What is the difference between a hypothesis and a scientific Theory? Between a hypothesis and a prediction? What kinds of hypotheses are useful for scientific investigations that try to explain the natural world‚ and which are not? Give one or more examples of hypotheses that are and are not scientifically useful. (a.) A scientific theory has two components; a pattern

the myosin heads remain attached to the actin filaments. Active transport is especially important in maximising the amount of nutrients we get from food into our cells. An example of this is the absorption of glucose in the small intestine. By diffusion alone (a passive process) only 50% of the glucose in the intestine can diffuse into the epithelial cells and then the blood. This means that unless active transport occurs there is a huge amount of food wastage. Active transport can be defined as

in large intestine for about one to four hours. Primarily‚ carbohydrates absorption take place in the upper segment of the small intestine. Glucose and galactose is absorbed by active transport (Na-dependent) whereas fructose is absorbed by facilitated diffusion (independent of Na+). This will slower the process‚ therefore some fructose is metabolized into glucose in the absorptive cells. The monosaccharides produce from digestion process are then absorbed into mucosal cell and enter the blood stream

provides life giving oxygen to cells through inspiration of air; at the same time‚ it removes carbon dioxide waste from cells through expiration‚ which can be lethal if not ventilated properly. This process is called pulmonary ventilation and is facilitated by three major components of the respiratory system: airways‚ lungs‚ and muscles; all of which play a vital role in the respiratory cycle and homeostasis. The respiratory cycle begins in the airways and during inhalation‚ the mouth‚ nose‚ pharynx

Definition/comparison questions Evolution / Selection Evolution is a slow continuous process of change that happens in plants and animals over a long period of time resulting in a change from simpler to more complex forms. This is the reason modern day plants and animals are different from those of past. The competition for resources will favour organisms with better adaptability and certain variations over others hence leading to change in the rate of occurrence of certain traits within that population

Osmosis in potato cells Aim: To view and examine the effect different concentrations of sucrose solution has on the movement of water across the cell membrane. Hypothesis: That the potatoes will either increase or decrease in mass‚ due to the effect of the different concentrations. Osmosis will occur.
