Eg. Fur length in mammals Population genetics: study of how populations change genetically over time. Modern synthesis: a comprehensive theory of evolution that integrated…

Introduction In this lab, double replacement reactions between compounds were done in order to determine the equation and description of a new substance. During the lab, each participant was given drop bottles, spot plates. The drop bottles contained different compounds which were dropped into the spot plates and mixed together. Compounds were combined together and…
Metabolism is the combined sum of the chemical reactions that occur in living organisms. Metabolism is traditionally divided into catabolism, or the breaking down of large molecules into smaller ones, and anabolism, or the combining of small molecules to make larger ones. Metabolic pathways are coordinated series of reactions, catalyzed by enzymes and designed to…
Living organisms carry out a diverse set of tasks, such as building and maintaining physical structures, moving, synthesizing macromolecules, maintaining electrochemical gradients, and maintaining a constant body temperature. All of these processes require energy. One fundamental problem living organisms face is how to obtain energy to carry out these tasks. When considered at their most…
All cells are enclosed by a membrane composed of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates. Eucaryotic cells also have internal membranes that divide the cell into different compartments. Biological membranes have several important functions, including: They separate the contents of a cell or organelle from the surrounding environment. They control import and export of molecules (e.g., nutrients,…
According to Jewish tradition, the covenant between God and the Hebrew people took on a new significance during the time of Moses.

As more carbons are added to a carboxylic acid, the trend indicates that the boiling point increases. The main functional group in a carboxylic acid (COOH) leads to strong bonds to start off with. The functional group (COOH) comes from combines the forces of a carbonyl group (polar covalent bonds, London forces, and dipole dipole…
– force is defined by the interaction between separate objects- force and magnitude – physics is primarily concerned with the object on which a force acts Laws of Mechanics 1. an object is in mechanical equilibrium if the forces that act on the object are balances, resulting in no change of its velocity 2. if…
