In freshman year‚ I was placed in the honors Biology course. I had a lot of difficulty the first semester and never really attempted to study much. I didn’t want the second semester to be the same as the first semester‚ so I tried a lot harder by studying for every test and doing every assignment that was given. In the end of the semester‚ I earned an A with all of my hard work. In order for students to take an AP class at our school‚ we must apply to the class with an application. Acceptance is

Chapter 15 Study Guide: The Age of Religious Wars and European Expansion 1. What caused the Revolt in The Netherlands? The Revolt of the Netherlands (1566-1587) By 1560s‚ Calvinism spread and appealed to the middle classes because of its intellectual seriousness‚ moral gravity‚ and emphasis on any form of labor well done Calvinism took deep root among the merchants and financiers in the northern provinces and working-class people also converted partly to please their employers In 1559‚ Philip

Photosynthesis notes -sunlight brings energy to Earth -the energy in sunlight is packaged in photons -the photosystems in the thylakoid membrane capture photons -pigments in the photosystems have an antenna complex that actually grabs the photons -chlorophyll b captures the photons and transfers the energy to chlorophyll a (the reaction center) -when the reaction center receives the energy it donates an electron -the donated electron will move down the electron transport system (ETS) -ETS

It also describes Earth’s three main climate zones. What Is Climate? (page 87) 1. How is weather different from climate? Weather is the day-to-day condition of Earth’s atmosphere at a particular time and place

Abstract For this lab the rate of photosynthesis was analyzed upon plant leaves. A sample of a light exposed and a not-light exposed leave were used to clearly identify the role of sunlight in the process of producing and storing energy. Aim We are trying to find proof‚ to demonstrate the necessity of light and chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis. Background Photosynthesis occurs in organisms which contain chlorophyll. It’s a process that involves the chloroplasts to synthesize glucose

major part of this carbon cycle. During photosynthesis‚ plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen as a waste product. Another major contributor to this vital cycle is the human being. The average human being goes through respiration each day to help maintain homeostasis. Unlike photosynthesis‚ carbon is the waste product in respiration‚ while oxygen is removed from the atmosphere. If carbon isn’t cycling through either photosynthesis or respiration‚ it reacts with water

Chapter 16 Notes: The Molecular Basis of Inheritance Overview: Life’s Operating Instructions In 1953‚ James Watson and Francis Crick introduced an elegant double-helical model for the structure of DNA. DNA‚ the substance of inheritance‚ is the most celebrated molecule of our time. Hereditary information is encoded in DNA and reproduced in all cells of the body. This DNA program directs the development of biochemical‚ anatomical‚ physiological‚ and (to some extent) behavioral traits Early in

1. There are two main types of cells‚ prokaryotic and eukaryotic. The connection between the two can be seen right from their prefixes‚ pro meaning before and eu meaning true or good. This is because prokaryotic cells are before a nucleus and eukaryotic cells possess a true nucleus. This has led to many theories that eukaryotic cells have evolved from prokaryotes. The evidence for this is most noticeable in the structure of the cells‚ which will be compared below. Prokaryotic cells have no
