potential" (Ψ) is a measure of the free energy of water; pure water (which has a high amount of free energy) is arbitrarily assigned a water potential of zero; units pressure: MPa; can be positive or negative factors that determine plant water potential: 1) amount of solutes- increasing concentrations will lower the free energy (water potential); termed osmotic potential (ψs) 2) turgor pressure (ψp) in plant cell- positive pressure inside plant cells; increases free energy; loss of turgor = wilting

Explain how the principle of gradualism and Charles Lyell’s theory of uniformitarianism influenced Darwin’s ideas about evolution. The basic idea of natural selection is that a population of organisms can change over the generations if individuals having certain heritable traits leave more offspring than other individuals. The result of natural selection

AP Biology Sunday‚ October 24‚ 2010 Enzyme Lab Write-Up Purpose: To observe how an enzyme affect the speed of chemical reaction. To describe how the concentration of an enzyme affects its ability to work. Hypothesis: Depending on the concentration of the catalase which the disk is soaked in‚ it will have a direct correlation on the rate of hydrogen peroxide being broken down into oxygen gas. Prediction: Since the rate of reaction can be lowered by the addition of

One major ways for the survival of all organisms is called adaptation. When it comes to Intertidal Organisms their no different. Intertidal Organisms inhabit the specific area between low tide and high tide next to the rocks on the coasts‚ marshes and or wetlands. Theses organisms can be from sea stars to types of algae and many more. As the tides come in‚ the habitat of intertidal organisms are sprayed with salt water. Then after the tide depletes‚ the habitat is exposed to the sun. It makes

Ever wonder how evolution comes to be? How some species win and others lose? Evolution has many different ways of making organisms all better‚ faster‚ and more adept to live. Four big categories of the mechanisms of evolution are natural selection‚ gene flow‚ genetic drift‚ and mutations. The majority of the time‚ nature goes by a trial and error system that can take up many centuries to come up with a change that is beneficial. Natural selection is the process in which nature removes its mistakes
