Reflection: SS Chapters 6 & 7 I believe that there is much that we take for granted in our world today. One of these things we take for granted in the instant “treatment” for plants. We do so without even a second thought or consideration and continue to let it happen year after year. We also take for granted our everyday dependencies that stem from nature. I then question what it would take for us to realize our dependency on nature and to respect it as such. On page 73 of the reading‚ it discusses

Biology Unit 2 Module 2 1.1: Explain the uptake of ions by active transport in roots; * Emphasize the role of the endodermis. Most plants secure the water and minerals they need from their roots. The path taken is: soil -> roots -> stems -> leaves The minerals (e.g.‚ K+‚ Ca2+) travel dissolved in the water (often accompanied by various organic molecules supplied by root cells).Less than 1% of the water reaching the leaves is used in photosynthesis and plant growth. Most of it is

AP ESSAY ANSWERS: 16-20 1. Information transfer is fundamental to all living organisms. For TWO of the following examples‚ explain in detail‚ how the transfer of information is accomplished. A) The genetic material in one eukaryotic cell is copied and distributed to two identical daughter cells. B) A gene in a eukaryotic cell is transcribed and translated to produce a protein. C) The genetic material from one bacterial cell enters another via transformation‚ transduction or conjugation

Calvin Williams Chapter 20 1. Advances in recombinant DNA technology allow scientists to work with smaller fragments of DNA‚ give them more tools to dissect and analyze DNA‚ and also allow for them to make many copies of a strand of DNA. 2. Restriction enzymes are made by bacteria to cut up invading DNA. They target specific base sequences in the DNA and then work to cut out those sequences from the DNA. 3. When a restriction enzyme cuts out a portion of DNA‚ it will sometimes leave a sticky
