Leaf anatomy‚ food for plants and animals‚ plant functions‚ and plant and animal cells are all subjects that were highly mentioned throughout the first quarter. The theme of Energy Transfer is prominent in all of these topics. The Interdependence in Nature is also a theme that comes up especially in plant functions‚ plant and animal cells‚ and leaf anatomy. Although there were many different sub-themes after many experiments‚ research‚ and discussion in class‚ I find that the two main themes that

Diffusion of Cell Size 2012 Kayla Szabo Loxton High School 2/20/2012 Rate of Diffusion Practical report Introduction: Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Cells need to utilise diffusion to exchange materials from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell for them to survive. Diffusion is a passive process‚ which means it doesn’t involve the need of energy. For a cell to survive it relies greatly on its size

Describe the key structures and functions of a eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell. Eukaryotic Cell (1) There are many organelles in the eukaryotic cell micrograph above. Some of these organelles are displayed in the prokaryotic micrograph and so‚ I have described the shared organelles in the prokaryotic micrograph section. Mitochondria The mitochondria cells break down nutrients which then creates energy. They act like a digestive system. This process is called cellular respiration. The

Ascaris contained two chromosomes while somatic cells contained four. B. Fertilization 1. van Beneden proposed in 1887 that an egg and sperm could fuse to form a zygote. 2. The fusion of gametes is called fertilization or syngamy. C. Meiosis 1. A reduction division is required to reduce the number of chromosomes to half so sexual reproduction can occur. 2. This reduction division is known as meiosis. D. The Sexual Life Cycle 1. Adult cells are diploid‚ and gametes are haploid. 2. Sexual

passes through a membrane without the aid of an intermediary such as a integral membrane protein. The force that drives the substance from one side of the membrane to the other is the force of diffusion. In order for substances to pass through a cell membrane by simple diffusion it must penetrate the hydrophobic core of the phospholipid bilayer. The types of molecules that can do this are themselves substantially hydrophobic in nature such as carbon dioxide‚ oxygen or ethanol. In the figure below

began to actually consider this theory a possibility. As time goes on Wallace’s idea becomes more and more true. They now know that mutation is connected to impaired mitochondrial function and now Wallace has opened The Center for Mitochondrial and Epigenomic Medicine to perform more research on the mitochondria of cells. My opinion on this article was that it was not very interesting. It was mostly just reading off information instead of there actually being some kind of story to it. I do think

Title: Grass Growth Effect Jessica Suarez Option A: Observation: During the winter‚ you spread salt daily on your driveway to melt the snow. In the springtime‚ when the lawn begins to grow‚ you notice that there is no grass growing for about 3 inches from the driveway. Furthermore‚ the grass seems to be growing more slowly up to about 1 foot from the driveway. Question: Might grass growth be inhibited by salt? My hypothesis is that the grass growth in being inhibited by salt. A typical
