2-5-2014 Essay One‚ Baby Theresa In March 1992 Theresa Ann Campo Pearson was born with anencephalia‚ a rare condition where the upper skull and brain cortex are missing. Although her brain stem can still produce breathing and a heartbeat‚ she could never have a conscious life. Most anencephalic babies are detected and aborted during early pregnancy because of the severity of their condition. The ones that are born‚ usually die within a few days. The parents of Theresa decided to volunteer her organs

The class measured the pressure in the test tube during the reaction of the substance with‚ 1.5 ml of H2O2‚ 1.5ml of H2O and different amounts of enzyme drops‚ to determine how much oxygen gas is produced during the reaction

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

AP Biology Outline for Behavior Territoriality - behavior of animals that enables individuals to occupy and dominate an area. Territory is an area where one or more individuals defend the area. Thus the two are interpedently interacting with each other to defend the area.

AP Biology Photosynthesis Lab Bethany Boyer Due 11/12/14 Lab Write-Up Questions First Experiment 1) The independent variable in this experiment was the presence of CO2 (carbon dioxide). The dependent variable was the speed at which the leaf disks started to float. 2) In the leaf tissue‚ the bicarbonate and light are combining to carry out photosynthesis. This will cause oxygen to collect in the leaf tissue‚ causing it to rise. 3) If we were to boil the leaf disks‚ the reaction would most likely
