electron transport chain, like yeast (Campbell, 2004). In experiment one the yeast and glucose acted as reactants, with the yeast breaking down the glucose, producing the products CO2 and ethanol. The overall reaction for the alcoholic fermentation that took place can be represented as 2 pyruvate + 2NADH-> 2NAD+ +2CO2 + 2 ethanol (Campbell, 2004). This biological process allows cells to operate under conditions where oxygen is not present. Experiment 1 explored the question of how the amount of sugar impacts

The objective of science is to expand human knowledge and attempt to find the answers to the multitudinous mysteries of the universe. Scientists attempt make discoveries through the conduction of research through trial and error with experiments. The question lies, how far can scientists actually go until it is deemed unacceptable? The article by Ed Regis, “A Frankenstein Monster Ended Up Being a Lamb,” focuses on a story of a lamb named Dolly who was cloned by Ian Wilmut, a scientist whose intention

about different aspects of research and sciences through statistics and mathematics. As research is more than just observing the cells, and collecting data. Research is also about calculating the concentrations of reagents needed to conduct the experiment and more importantly analyzing the collected data. Becoming a research assistant for SCHOLAR is the first step to help me understand

Institute has developed “organs-on-chips”, using the in vitro method, which is able to test the effects of drugs, toxins and disease on specific organs and has yielded results that are more akin to human physiology “more accurately than crude animal experiments” (PETA). We can become as close to one hundred percent accuracy because we would be using human genetic material as opposed to animal genes. “Mice, rats, snakes, frogs, guinea pigs, fruit flies and zebrafish are also exploited in research that ranges

related disorders affect over seventy-six million people (13) around the world and the economic cost of alcohol addiction in the U.S. alone is at least $246 billion annually (17). Animal models have been used extensively in research to understand the biology of addiction and substance seeking behaviors. These models offer the advantage of having greater control and manipulation of variables that are constrained in human testing. Research studies have established the commonality of the biological processes

Melissa Lindauere English 12 Animal Testing What is animal testing? Animal testing is experiments and/or tests preformed on animals. “It is used to assess the safety and effectiveness of everything from medication to cosmetics, as well as understanding how the human body works” (“What Is Animal Testing?”). Animals have similar body functions and structures to the human body; animal testing can help improve medicine, cosmetics, etc. Animal testing can take place in universities, medical schools

collect data from observing animal reproduction, interaction between species, and movement patterns. Other times, wildlife biologists will spend time indoors writing papers that explain the data they collected, giving presentations, and doing pre-experiment research. Usually a wildlife biologist focuses on a specific type of species, which can include marine mammals, insects, amphibians, reptiles,

I am a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Currently, I am a pre-med student majoring in biology, and my goal is to eventually work as an Emergency Room physician. What initially drew me to work in the medical field is that it would allow me to have a career in science and help people. Service is important to me because my parents instilled in me the importance of helping others. My mother works for the Milwaukee Health Department so I am aware of the health challenges facing many

My aspirations as a biologist are driven by my fascination with Biology, and with how data can be used to understand and manipulate biological systems. At the frontiers of Bioinformatics and Genetics is where synthetic biology thrives as a powerful platform for many solutions to real-life problems. Most notably, it has vivified the way we conduct research on complex diseases. When multiple genetic and environmental factors come into play and where a greater wealth of data lies within reach, I find
