In Biology 1115‚ I learned a great deal about cytoskeleton. I have been able to recognize the functions of molecular structures which are microtubules‚ microfilament and intermediate filaments‚ but I still have confusion about those structures. For example‚ I always misunderstand the differences between microtubules and microfilament. Therefore‚ I got wrong in some multiple choices of this midterm. I went back to the notes and read them again after seeing my midterm which can help me to clarify and

Dear Friend‚ My biology teacher‚ Mrs. Anderson‚ asked me to send you a note about the importance of chemistry in biology. Chemistry is an important part of biology. Modern biology overlaps with chemistry in explaining the structure and function of all cellular processes at the molecular level. Chemical principles are important in modern cell biology because all living cells are made up of chemicals and many chemical processes occur in various living organisms. In biology you learn about living

Since I am a biology major‚ I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to compare two prospective courses I could be taking next semester. One of these classes‚ specifically‚ is Biology 121. Biology 121 is the first half of a two-semester introduction over the major components of Biology. The course discusses molecular and cellular biology‚ genetics‚ and evolution. The

As I progressed through school my love of science changed to biology of all forms‚ from a molecular level to ecosystems as a whole and this was a key factor in my decision to study biological science as it covered a broad spectrum of biology based topics. Studying for my MSci degree opened my eyes to many new areas of biology and found two areas of biology that interested me the most: microbiology and cell biology and during my final two years I have‚ through my module options and project

New York Times Project Biology 113 Topic: Synthetic Biology vs. Natural selection   Synthetic Biology vs. Natural Selection Darwin first introduced the idea of evolution in his publication of The Origin of Species‚ on November 24th‚ 1859 (Campbell‚ 2005‚ p. 438). This opposed many traditional views as it was generally accepted that the beginning inhabitants of the world had no mutations in their genetic composition. His publication had two major points. The first being the modern

AP Biology Introduction and Summary AP Biology is among the most popular advanced placement tests put forth by College Board each year for high school students. The test was designed to challenge and motivate students to further expand on their passion for the subject of biological sciences. AP Biology Course Goals According to College Board‚ the structure for designing a proper AP Biology course should focus on the following topics: • Molecules and Cells: 25% • Heredity and Evolution:

IB SL Biology Lab Molecular Biology: Transformation and Electrophoresis Christina Qi 2/16/07 Aim: How can a plasmid be engineered to include a foreign piece of DNA and how does gel electrophoresis separate DNA molecules present in a mixture? Hypothesis: If the pGLO plasmid is inserted into competent Escherichia coli cells‚ then the transformed bacteria will be resistant to ampicillin and will glow green under UV light. If samples of DNA are cut using certain restriction

Reflection is the action of putting together experiences and knowledge‚ in order to enhance your personal development (Kathpalia and Hear‚ 2008). This reflective account will recognise my personal values and how they can impact on my social work practice. It will also outline how the learning from this module has impacted on my personal values. I will apply Gibbs’ model of reflection‚ in order to identify my thoughts‚ feelings and action plan (Gibbs‚ 1988). Many sessions in this module where interesting
