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 include blindness‚ heart disease

After the crab began eating only the snails with the thickest shells survived. The snails with the thinnest shells were eaten by the crab. Only snails with shell thickness 4-7 were left after the crab had their meal. The original snails with thickness 1-3 were eliminated from the population by the crab. The crab will usually try to expend as little enrgy as it can to maximaize its happiness so the snails with thinner shells will likely be targeted first and eventually eliminated. 17.1 When predatory

1.) What is Biology? Biology is the science of life. Biologists study the structure‚ function‚ growth‚ origin‚ evolution and distribution of living organisms. There are generally considered to be at least nine “umbrella” fields of biology‚ each of which consists of multiple subfields. 2.) What are the branches of Biology? Describe each. Biochemistry: the study of the material substances that make up living things Botany: the study of plants‚ including agriculture Cellular biology: the study of the

measurement of carbon dioxide and oxygen concentrations and their functions during the act of breathing. Introduction: Humans‚ like all living organisms need‚ O2 in order to live‚ they take the necessary O2 from the atmospheric air. The O2 is transferred from the blood to all cells of the body and serves for oxidation of nutrients for example glucose. By oxidize the nutrients released energy‚ which is necessary for the functions of the human body. During oxidation produces CO2‚ which in high

SCIENCE CELL – STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS Cell – Structure and Functions Cell as the Basic Unit of Life The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms. It is the smallest part of the body of an organism‚ is capable of independent existence and is able to perform the essential functions of life. Discovery of the Cell Robert Hooke observed cork cells under a simple microscope designed by him. He observed compartments resembling honeycombs and each compartment

connection between what Wyatt Transgenics Company does‚ and the reference to the comic “The Swamp Thing” is‚ that they both have to deal with organisms that undergo some sort of manipulation. “The Swamp thing is an example of this. (Page 64-65) 3. The meaning of transgenic is when an organism is altered by having a gene from another species transferred into it. (Page 64) 4. The scientists make the animals develop the desired proteins by‚ putting original human genes in to the animals causing
