...Part 1 Cells are very important things in this world weather for human, animal, or plant life. These cells are classified into two groups called Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. Out of these two cells the Prokaryotes are much simpler. The main components to a prokaryote cell are the outer cell membrane, the fluid inside the cell, and a single DNA chain. (Editorial Board, 2012). Then there are the Eukaryotes which are much larger and more complex than the Prokaryotic cell. The Eukaryote cell contains the nucleus which is known as organelles. There are many known organelles such as endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and mitochondria just to mention a few. Let’s focus on the nucleus. The main reason I am going to focus on this organelle because it is one of the most important parts to a cell. There are many analogies that can be used to describe the nucleus. One could compare this to the hard drive on a computer because such as this it holds all of the information. The computer will not operate without the hard drive to tell it what it needs to do. Now this is much like the nucleus because the nucleus’s job is to tell the other parts of the cell what they need to do. Another example could be the human brain because the brain tells the body what to do. It tells things like the muscles and the heart when they need to operate. Looking at Lynita’s analogy about the cell wall she had a great example on a fence to keep things out, which is the job of the cell wall. Now the nucleus’s...

...Carrie Cunnien SCIE 206 Biology January 20, 2013 IP 2 Abstract Some of the things that will be discussed are how photosynthesis and respiration are linked in order to provide you with energy from the food we eat. The absence of oxygen some cells and organisms can use glycolysis coupled to fermentation to produce energy to your cells. Cells use enzymes as biological catalysts to increase or accelerate the rate of reactions. Energy, Metabolism, and Cells Photosynthesis envelopes everything we need to sustain life whether directly related or indirectly related. Biology involves a great responsibility for the safety and well-being of all inhabitants of the earth. Our daily lives and the comprehension of what it takes to keep the various life forms alive are very important, (Nahle, N. 2004). First, you will learn what is photosynthesis and aerobic respiration. Secondly, you will learn the role of fermentation in allowing an organism to generate energy for its cells in the absence of oxygen and how does the energy from the sun end up as chemical energy for the anaerobic organism or cell. Lastly, you will learn how enzyme catalyzes a reaction and the three main steps of the cycle of enzyme-substrate interactions plus how enzyme activity is regulated by the cell. 1. Explain how photosynthesis and respiration are linked in order to provide you with energy from the food you eat. A. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use energy created from the sunlight; producing...

GH stimulates the immune system & Growth hormones are used in adults to treat growth failure and to treat weight loss[->0]. Growth hormones are produced by the pituitary gland. Excess secretion is stimulated by anorexia nervosa, stress, hypoglycemia, and exercise. 2) The relationship between Growth Hormones and insulin is that GH stimulates the growth of the long bones through the action of somatomedins, which are insulin growth like growth factor made in the liver. There are no complications involving GH and insulin so far. General Facts l About 3 people in 1 million have pituitary gigantism l 100 cases to date in United States l 2 – 3 times higher mortality rate in comparison to general population l No racial predilection l Males and females affected equally l Not a genetic disorder 3) From the research I did it’s dwarfism that’s more difficult to treat than, for reason being in dwarfism exact diagnosis, was more...

...Photosynthesis and Respiration and the Links Shawna Smith November 24, 2013 IP2-SCIE206-Biology Photosynthesis and Respiration and the Links The sun plays a vital role in the survival of life on our planet. We all use its light for many reasons. We use it to create energy for some of our basic needs. There are other ways to create energy for some of our daily life, and other living things can create energy by no light source. The energy is produced by photosynthesis and respiration. This helps the cells in every living organism. Photosynthesis is one of the ways that energy is produced. Photosynthesis is only preformed by plants because they contain chlorophyll. “Photosynthesis is the process by which plant cells capture and process the sun’s energy to make this energy available to all living things” (Educational Board [EB], 2012). Photosynthesis happens when the sunlight is captured by the chlorophyll, carbon dioxide enters through the stomata and water enters through the roots. Photosynthesis produces glucose and water. The carbon dioxide is produced by animals which breathe it out and the glucose, which is sugar, is produced by the process of photosynthesis. This production is helpful to both the plants and animals. The oxygen produced as a by-product is used by the animals and humans. The bi-product produced by the animals and humans is used by the plants. They benefit both and help each of them survive. “Photosynthesis occurs in two stages are called the light...

...UNIT 1 INDIVIDUAL PROJECT Biology – SCIE206 by AIU Online May 3, 2014 UNIT 1 IP Introduction During the winter season salt is spread onto the driveway and streets to melt the snow. In the springtime, when the lawn begins to grow, there is no growing of grass for about three inches from the driveway. The grass where the salt was not placed has normal growth as usual. Furthermore, the grass seems to be growing more slowly about one inch from the driveway. This paper will explain the reason why the grass is not growing back the same. This paper will examine how salt reacts with grass. Hypothesis The chemicals that makeup the salt that is used to melt the snow during the winter season is believed to inhibit the growth of grass in the spring. Prediction Grass will not grow where there is a high concentration of salt in the soil. Controlled Experiment Find an area that’s contains healthy green grass. Place a border around a small section of that area securing it from the rest of the grass. It would be better to cut away two sections of the area. Make sure both section are identical in size. In one section 250ml of salt will be use and in the other section 500ml of salt will be used. Add the different liters of salt measurements to each section. Wait ten to twenty days. Record the information and compare the different between the 250ml and the 500ml...

...SCIE206-1303B-07 UNIT 2 IP 2 ‘Photosynthesis and Respiration’ Running Head: Photosynthesis and Respiration 1 Photosynthesis and Respiration The process in which carbon dioxide is transformed into organic compounds from sunlight is called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis, a natural process, offers every aerobic being on earth oxygen and also assists in maintaining a natural percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere (Cloud, David 2011). Human beings would not exist without this process. Photosynthesis also occurs in algae, plants, and certain bacteria. In contrast, respiration takes glucose (sugar), along with other organic compounds oxidizing them to develop carbon dioxide. Respiration is the metabolic reaction in organic cells, biochemical energy into adenosine triphosphate/ATP. Each cycle depends on the other, in order for the ‘complete cycle’ to transpire. When it comes to receiving energy from the foods we eat, photosynthesis stores the energy and respiration releases it. Both cycles are important to ensure continuous life on earth. Photosynthesis and respiration are connected between plants and animals based on the reactants and products of both pathways by the usage of autotrophs and heterotrophs. An autotroph are organisms the have the ability to manufacture their own food (“Autotroph vs. Heterotroph” n.d.). Heterotroph organisms are essential in respiration and are not an...

...The Difference Between Cells Your name SCIE206 AIU Online Abstract This paper is intended to inform the reader on the way photosynthesis and respiration are linked in order to provide living things with energy. Also how some cells use glycolysis to produce energy from sugar created in photosynthesis. Lastly, how cells use enzymes as biological catalysts to increase the rate of reactions. The Difference Between Cells During photosynthesis cells receive energy from the sun which is then combined with carbon dioxide and water to create something called glucose (Editorial Board, 2013). Photosynthesis occurs in green plants such as seaweed, algae and other green plants. This process is very important because the byproduct of this process is oxygen which is very essential to all living organisms. Plants produce a lot of glucose and sometimes so much that it is more than they need. The plant uses this glucose to produce things like leaves and flowers and other growths that take place on the plant. The glucose is then transformed into cellulose which is a part of the structural wall a very sturdy material. Humans depend on glucose just as plants do however humans are not able to produce their own glucose so humans actually rely on plants to produce it. Cellular respiration is a chemical breakdown of glucose that was created through the photosynthesis process, and converting that glucose into larger amounts of adenosine triphosphate. Adenosine triphosphate also known as ATP...

...Shannon Ben SCIE206 Professor Jantz 18 September 2013 My Stages Through Lupus To ESRF(End Stage Renal Failure) Important events happen on a regular basis, but achieving the goals set up for yourself while over coming obstacles with things that pop up along the way making it a even harder struggle. In 2011 I began my fall semester classes, and during this time I became very ill, but I was still attending classes with pneumonia (that I suspected). This went on for 3 weeks in October, until I was at home barely breathing, so I had to call 9-1-1 and was rushed to the hospital. My friends and family continuously kept telling me to go to the doctor, although all I kept insisting was “It’s a cold; I have class!” My education was and still is my main priority, and I refused to let anyone or anything stand in my way. While lying in the hospital bed with tubes up my arms, I was lonely in a isolated room and my visitors wearing mask made me feel even more isolated. I had all kind of crazy things running to the finish line to see what the problem was and why was I isolated from the world? Once the doctors came in and asked me all kinds of questions like; “Have you ever passed out or have you ever felt any kind of illness? “No!” However, after all the questions and answers the doctor announced that I was blessed, because I have Lupus and End Stage Renal Disease, and my kidneys were at a 19%. The Important Event in my life is when I overcame “End Stage Renal Failure.” End Stage...
