Before watching the film I did not think biology had anything to do with racism. I believe scientist tried to prove that race was biological in order to justify the actions against the non-white race. I had never really thought about where race had come from but was surprised‚ but not hard to believe‚ to hear in the film that race was created by humans to describe social and cultural differences. Knowing that race is not biological will not eliminate racisms today. Those that are racist today

Introduction Last week‚ my Biology class and I went down to the Port Kembla Rock Platform. While we were there we surveyed five different sectors about the rock platform and recorded them‚ these included: 1. Surveying the abiotic characteristics of the rock platform 2. Observing the abundance and distribution of the Black Periwinkle (Nerita Atramentosa) 3. Observing the feeding relationships and food webs of the organisms 4. Finding the adaption’s of organisms 5. And Observing the human impacts

Biology- Change in pH Aim: To investigate the affect that change in pH levels has on a particular enzyme‚ in this case amylase. Hypothesis: In this investigation I expect as the pH reaches the optimum level‚ the rate of reaction will be fastest‚ compared to other pH levels. It is also suspected that after the enzyme has reached optimum level the enzyme activity will decrease. Through further study of the optimum level of amylase I found that the enzyme usually has an optima pH of 8. It is known

Biology Notes 1.02 Sometimes a practice or belief claims to be science but does not follow the scientific method or cannot be proven reliable through experimentation. These practices are examples of pseudoscience‚ which literally means "fake science." Charms‚ astrology = stars‚ and phrenology= reading the bump on skull 1.03 * In the mid 1600s in the Netherlands‚ the scientist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek developed the first known microscope using a single magnifying lens. He was the first person

Prac 4 | Vertebrate Forelimbs‚ Shake a Leg! Ch. 6.4 H.Bio T.Book Aim: To gather information from secondary sources to observe‚ analyze and compare the structure of a range of vertebrate forelimbs. Materials: Pearson Biology Textbook coloured pencils Skeletons‚ photographs of a number of vertebrates copy of student worksheet Method: 1 Examine each of the vertebrate specimens in turn. Using Figure 1 as a guide‚ locate and identify the bones making up the pentadactyl limb structure

Materials that I used were; paper‚ pencil‚ calculator‚ stopwatch and the person being tested to measure their heart beat. My procedure was as follows: 1. Measure heart beat for a minute before the task started. 2. Record the heart beat 3. Time the performer for one minute doing pushups 4. Measure their heart beat for one minute once again. 5. Record their heart beat 6. Repeated these steps nine more times 7. Analyzed the data 8. Made a conclusion based on my data

Mr. Clark Honors Bio Period 3 10-19-13 Eukaryotic Cell vs. Prokaryotic Cell Eukaryotic cells do have a nucleus but Prokaryotic cells do not. Prokaryotic cells usually only have one chromosomes when Eukaryotic cell have more than one. Eukaryotic cells have mitochondria but Prokaryotic cells do not. Prokaryotic cells are usually unicellular and Eukaryotic cells are usually multicellular. Also Eukaryotic cells are larger than Prokaryotic cells. Both Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic cell have vacuoles

hypertonic. Due to osmosis‚ the water molecule will move from fresh water to the cell. The saltwater fish has no mechanism to get the extra water out. The cell will explode‚ or salt water fish can adapt that much water inside their body‚ and they may die. 3. Explain why a salt solution is a good antiseptic (kills bacteria)? The concentration of water molecules is higher inside the bacteria‚ and the cytoplasm of bacteria is hypertonic. Due to osmoses‚ the water molecule will move from bacteria to salt solution

• Organic chemistry- special study of chemistry dealing with molecules containing carbon and hydrogen • Hydrocarbon- an organic molecule consisting only of carbon and hydrogen. • Functional groups- a specific configuration of atoms commonly attached to the carbon skeletons of organic molecules and involved in chemical reactions. • Hydroxyl group: a chemical group consisting of an oxygen atom joined to a hydrogen atom. Molecules possessing this group are soluble in water and are called alcohols

Biology project Measuring Light Intensity Soil moisture and soil pH meters are also available - both are used by simply pushing the probe into the soil and reading themeter. Errors can be made when measuring abiotic factors when the soil moisture or pH meter probes are not cleaned between readings. As always the results can be made more reliable by taking many samples. Here are some examples: Daisies The more light available‚ the more daisy plants will be present.0 This is because daisies
