Model Organisms Model organisms are very important to the scientific community. They are primarily used as a standard for comparison to other organisms. If a model organism is recognized then the organism can be useful for many different fields of research. Rice (Oryza sativa) is a model organism that has been introduced and has several essential attributes. When using a model organisms some qualities that should be chosen are a short life cycle, small adult size that makes it easy to grow in

HISTORY OF BIOLOGY Though biology is generally regarded as a modern science with late origins in the early to mid-nineteenth century, it drew on varied traditions, practices, and areas of inquiry beginning in antiquity. Traditional histories of biology generally target two areas that merged into modern biological science: medicine and natural history. The tradition of medicine dates back to the work of ancient Greek medical practitioners such as Hippocrates of Kos (b. 460 B.C.E.) and to figures such

assigned Fever 1793. This young adult novel by Laurie Anderson about the 1793 yellow fever epidemic ignited my passion for bacterium and prokaryotic cells. By the time I reached tenth grade I was deeply entrenched in this minuscule world. It was then my biology teacher shared a story with us about the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. It was researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine that discovered how this parasite crosses the blood-brain barrier. That was the moment that I became

SCIENCE A N D HUMAN WELFARE’ I BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE M Y SUBJECT this afternoon is “Biology and Medicine,” but I think a more accurate wording would be “Medi- cine and Other Phases of Biology,” for to my mind Medicine is a branch of Biology. Webster’s Dictionary defines medicine as the science and art dealing with the prevention, cure, or alleviation of disease. Biology is the science of life, Disease might well be defined as life out of balance, and is in a strict sense a biological process

Biology and chemistry are complimentary to each other; one cannot be studied in its entirety without the firm understanding of the other. Interactions between chemicals are what make up biological life, which makes up organisms. Organisms are living structures made up of cells that consist of animals, plants, and bacteria. They are biologically engineered yet composed of a multitude of chemical reactions. By examining organisms, their premise of living is based off of their ability to create energy

pursue in my future. Pathology is my main interest though my plan B would be forensic pathology. Taking Biomedical Sciences would help push me towards either one of those career choices. I have a lot of passion for the science field including the biology, chemistry, and physics aspect of it. Becoming a pathologist has been an interest of mine for about a year now. My goals and interests to accomplish in the Biomedical Sciences program and after high school include a lot of things. In my opinion choosing
