AP Biology Chapter One Objectives 1. Briefly describe the unifying themes that characterize the biological sciences. New properties emerge at each level in the biological Hierarchy Organisms interact with other organisms and the physical environment Life requires energy transfer and transformation Structure‚ and function are correlated at all levels of biological organization Cell is an organism’s basic unit of structure and function The continuity of life is based on heritable information

Q1:Why is reproduction essential for organisms? Reproduction is a fundamental feature of all living organisms. It is a biological process through which living organisms produce offspring’s similar to them. Reproduction ensures the continuance of various species on the Earth. In the absence of reproduction‚ the species will not be able to exist for a long time and may soon get extinct. Q2:Which is a better mode of reproduction sexual or asexual? Why? Sexual reproduction is a better mode of reproduction

For this experiment petri-dish A is fully exposed to the light source while petri-dish B is partially exposed to the light. Independent Variable: We have chosen our independent variable to be the amount of light exposed to the cress seeds. Our first petri-dish was allowed to be fully exposed to the light surrounding it‚ while the second was fully wrapped in black paper excluding a 0.5cm slit directed towards the sun. Dependent Variable: Our dependent variable is the reaction/actions to

Biomolecules Essay Before this year‚ I could never remember what DNA stood for‚ but now‚ not only do I know that it stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid‚ I also know that there is another kind of nucleic acid called Ribonucleic Acid. RNA is an imitation for DNA‚ and like all imitations it is not a perfect replica so therefore it has small differences‚ and these small differences house the properties and opportunities for mutations and therefore it causes evolution‚ which allows us to adapt to our

Different methods of transpiration… Water uptake from the soil: Plant roots are surrounded by soil particles. The outmost layer of cells (the epidermis) contains root hair cells that increase the surface area of the root These cells absorb minerals from the soil by active transport using ATP for energy The minerals reduced the water potential of the cell cytoplasm; this makes the water potential in the cell lower than that in the soil. Movement across a root: The movement of water across the

Some of you have been asking for clarification regarding your optional use of the MSAF‚ the student self-reporting absence form. As you may know‚ this is allowance that you are permitted to use once per term to address temporary illnesses and deadline pressures. The allowance provided is generally five days‚ but faculty are asked to specify how the MSAF is to be applied in their particular course. Here are my guidelines: For all other more serious illnesses and absences‚ you would follow the
