...increased. After it reached its optimum temperature then the reaction would slow down rapidly or stop all together. However throughout the experiment we uncovered a number of flaws, the flaws would have contributed to the failure of this experiment and the rejection of my hypothesis. Introduction Enzymes are proteins that were made during protein synthesis. They are globular in shape and of a tertiary structure that has an active site. The protein molecules act as a catalyse biochemical reaction in living organisms. (Indge, B (1993), A-Z Biology. London. Wearset. 90). A catalyse is something that makes a chemical reaction happen more quickly without itself being changed. This means that enzymes can be re-used. Enzymes work by lowering the activation energy necessary to start a reaction. As less energy is necessary, biochemical reactions can take place at the temperatures and pressures found in living cells. (Indge, B (1993), A-Z Biology. London. Wearset. 90). The diagram on the left illustrates the action of an enzyme. As you can see, the activation energy with an enzyme is a lot smaller than without. http://www.biologyguide.net/unit1/2_enzymes.htm The individual reactions that constitute metabolism are catalysed by special enzymes, which act according to the lock-and-key hypothesis or the induced-fit hypothesis. (Cell book) In the lock and key...

Downloaded 30 August, 2012 Accepted 2 October, 2012 The study investigated teachers’ quality as correlates of students’ academic performance in Biology in senior secondary schools in Ondo State. To guide the study, four research questions were raised. The multi-stage sampling technique was used to collect data from two hundred teachers (200) as respondents. A validated questionnaire titled: Teacher Quality as Correlates of Student Academic Performance with the used of simple frequency counts and percentage for analysis. From the data analysis it was revealed that: the role of professionally qualified/trained teachers is an important teacher quality which enhances students’ academic achievement in biology, teaching methods adopted by the teachers significantly influence achievement of the behavior objectives. Several schools in the population of the study lacked modern instructional materials without which effective teaching and learning cannot be utilized...

...studying science. By incorporating numeracy skills into the lessons, students will feel more confident in solving problems and making decisions, and therefore having the ability to fully access the lesson. Finally, computing has been incorporated into one of the lessons as it allows students to visualize objects and internal structures that can be difficult for students. Students will create a research poster concerning the uses of glucose in plants and in doing so, will develop independent research skills and allow students to become digitally literate (Department for Education, 2013). Conclusion: In conclusion, this assignment has improved my subject knowledge of a topic that causes many difficulties at GCSE level, that all students, whether trilogy or triple will encounter. By writing the scheme of work, I have considered the main misconceptions that students present and the best methods of addressing these. As mentioned in the introduction, the focus of this assignment was to improve my confidence in teaching biology at GCSE level and feel more confident in planning and carrying out engaging lessons. This has been achieved as I have additionally developed my biology pedagogical subject knowledge and now feel more able to address students’ misconceptions. In addition to improving Teacher Standard 3: “Demonstrate good subject and curriculum knowledge”, I have also improved Teacher Standard 4: “Plan and teach well structured lessons” by designing an engaging scheme of learning...

...An Unexplored Option for the Biology Majors Lester Relyea B.S. Professor George Taylor Keller Graduate School of Management September 14, 2010 This paper is on a recent change I made to my occupational search. After finally obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree in Molecular Biology, I turned my aspirations to a graduate program with the hopes of obtaining a teaching or technical research position at a University of government office. Both government and higher educational institutions have a wide variety of opportunities for biological research and education. Most of these positions are secure and high paying. Especially since the adaptations of the human genome project, many genetic studies have arises from some of the recent discoveries in that field. Biology majors also have the option of becoming medical professionals. Graduates in the fields of molecular and cellular biology often end up in medical careers in nursing and medicine. After receiving my degree in molecular cellular biology I set myself on a similar career path. However, recently a new subject area has caught my attention and has change my outlook on the world of science. There is a growing business aspect to biology that is providing jobs to millions of Americans and individuals worldwide. "Biotechnological research and development should continue to drive much faster than average employment growth." The company remains a sole proprietorship at the present...

...Cazmir Leenheer Biology 09-08-’11 Grade11 IB Internal Assessment: Comparing Vitamin C of an Apple versus an Orange Cazmir Leenheer Biology 09-08-’11 Research Question: Is freshly squeezed apple (Malus domestica) juice or orange (Citrus sinensis) juice a richer and therefore healthier source of vitamin C (Ascorbic acid)? Aim: To measure the vitamin C content of 20 apples and 20 oranges and subsequently using a statistical Mann-Witney U test accordingly, concluding which fruit contains a richer source of vitamin C. Background Information: As the aim of this lab experiment is to establish whether raw apple juice is richer in vitamin C compared to raw orange juice and vice versa, the collected results will suggest which intake is the healthier option and how much of it you will need to sustain your optimal Vitamin C levels. Vitamin C is a essential nutrient needed for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. Vitamin C is also one of the key antioxidants, which are nutrients that block part of the damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are made when your body breaks down food or when a person is exposed to factors such as tobacco, smoke and radiation. Furthermore, a sufficient vitamin C level within the body can prevent the development of health conditions such as cancer, heart diseases, strokes and high blood pressure (Henrik, 2008). Raw citrus fruits are best known to be good sources of vitamin C, however others also include broccoli...
