Honors Biology (modified from Foundation Notes) Unit 1 Early Topics Main Sections * Definition of Biology * Characteristics of Life * Levels of Organization * SI Units and Relative Size * Scientific Method * Classification and Binomial Nomenclature Definition of Biology CHAPTER 1 Biology can be broadly defined as the “study of life” or the “study of living things”. It includes molecules that are made, used by, or derived from living things. It

methods to test their products. Scientists should not test on any kind of animal. A question could be made as to why scientists test on animals in the first place. Although chimpanzees have DNA more related to humans, scientists mainly use mice to experiment on. Rodents are small, easily housed and maintained, and adapt well to new surroundings. Mice reproduce very quickly and have a lifespan of two to three years, so a rodent could have several generations of mice in a short period of time (Melina)

predicted 10 students will have O blood, 8 will have type A blood, 2 will have type B blood and 1 will have type AB blood. The experimenters thought 18 students out of the whole class and 4 of the students in the lab group would be Rh positive . The experiments predicted three students out of the whole class and one of the students in the lab would be Rh

Rachel Balbi Ap Biology Summer Assignment Ms. Lorber September 2, 2015 Chapter 51 State Tinbergen’s four questions and identify each as a proximate or ultimate causation. What stimulus elicits the behavior, and what physiological mechanisms mediate the response? - proximate How does the animal’s experience during growth and development influence the response? - proximate How does the behavior aid survival and reproduction? - ultimate What is the behavior’s evolutionary history? - ultimate Distinguish

My goal is to gain a bachelor's degree in biology in order to obtain a career in that field in which I will be financially comfortable as well as being able to help others. I have always possessed a strong interest in science, particularly in the functions of life. From a very young age I have been infatuated with learning about life. My fascination became even stronger when I reached high school and took biology my sophomore year. The biology teacher was also the cross country coach my freshman

Do Hairworms (Nematomorpha) manipulate the water seeking behaviour of their terrestrial hosts? In a first of its kind experiment, Scientists have set out to determine whether hairworms voluntarily change the behavior of their terrestrial hosts so that they are more likely to seek and remain close to water. Over two consecutive summers, scientists gathered a list of insects which visited the swimming pool and monitored their actions and behavior to see whether their hypothesis was correct. In previous

humans do; in fact, their reactions to pain are virtually identical (both humans and animals scream, for example). When animals are used for product toxicity testing or laboratory research, they are subjected to painful and frequently deadly experiments. Two of the most commonly used toxicity tests are the Draize test and the LD50 test, both of which are

My goal is to harness my passion for biology to obtain a Ph.D., allowing me to conduct research on the underpinnings of human diseases. As a freshman, I shadowed in research labs in various areas of biology, and these experiences first ignited my passion for biological research. In my sophomore year of college, I joined a molecular biology lab that is interested in the mechanisms that coordinate two key steps in gene expression: splicing and transcription, as mutations in the proteins involved in

friend effortlessly depositing beans into her bowl with tweezers as the timer ran out. How could this be? Unwilling to disprove my hypothesis that chopsticks was the better tool, I tried again with tweezers. Ten, Eleven, Twelve?! This was a simple experiment to demonstrate the importance of evolution. But to me, it was the first lab that drove me into a train of thought. If we’re constantly evolving, will we potentially give rise to a new species of humans? How will our actions in disrupting the flow

Despite this, each year, over 100 million animals including frogs, cats, dogs, mice, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, fish, monkeys, and birds to name a few, are abused and killed in United States laboratories. For what? Medical training, biology lessons, curiosity-driven experiment, and chemical, food, drug, and cosmetics testing. In the moments before their deaths, these helpless animals are forced to inhale toxic fumes, others are immobilized for hours, some have holes drilled into their skulls or their
