Type of Reproduction: asexual and sexual life cycle Sex cell = spores – made by the sporangium – spores are spread by wind – spores germinate (grow) Asexual fragmentation may also occur 3. Characteristics nonmotile mycelium – vegetative part, under ground wide variety…
– the study of categorizing organisms Binomial Nomenclature – two-part scientific naming of organisms – the first word identifies the genus and the second word is the species Example: Ursus americanus – Ursus horribilis – Ursus arctos – Ursus maritimus – NOTE: the format: capitals and italics Levels of Classification (7) or Taxa: “King…
Four basic Steps: 1. Attachment and entrance: the virus recognizes the host cell and attaches. The whole virus or just it’s genetic material enters the cell. 2. Synthesis of proteins: The genetic material of the virus (DNA or RNA) instructs the cell to start making viral proteins and nucleic acids (DNA/RNA) 3. Assembly of a…
Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) -very expensive with 2 million times magnification – specimen must be cut very thinly and must be dead Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) – produces a 3-D image of the surface – whole specimen must be dead Compound Microscope – the one we use – two lenses illuminated by a light source…
All Bacteria have the following characteristics: Unicellular and stick together in colonies Are prokaryotic (no nucleus, vacuoles, mitochondria or chloroplasts) They have a single chromosome in a DNA loop They reproduce asexually by binary fission Live in moist environment and are inactive in dry environments Two groups of Bacteria 1. Archaebacteria – primitive bacteria that…

Initiation: – Upstream of the gene, RNA polymerase binds to a genes promoter region and unwinds the DNA double helix Elongation: – RNA polymerase starts building an mRNA, using the template strand of the DNA molecule, in the direction of 5’ to3’ – the strand that is not copied is called the coding strand – …
What Is a Real Hypothesis? A hypothesis is a tentative statement that proposes a possible explanation to some phenomenon or event. A useful hypothesis is a testable statement which may include a prediction. When Are Hypotheses Used? The key word is testable. That is, you will perform a test of how two variables might be…
> synapse: spaces between neurons, or between neurons and effectors > vesicles containing chemical neurotransmitters are located at the end of neuron axons Electrical Signals: > electrical impulses moving along the axon stimulate the release of neurotransmitters Chemical Signals: > neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron and diffuse across the synaptic cleft > neurotransmitters…
– obtained from bacterial cells where they act as an immune system, they digest foreign DNA molecules from viruses – molecular scissors that cut DNA at a specific base-pair sequence (the recognition site) – they scan DNA, stop at their recognition sites, then disrupt the phosphodiester bonds and the hydrogen bonds between nucleotides cutting a…
– cyclic process in the stroma that converts carbon dioxide into carbohydrate molecules – three phases: 1) carbon fixation, 2) reduction reaction, 3) RuBP regeneration Phase 1: Carbon Fixation – C02 added to RuBP -> unstable 6-carbon intermediate -> 2 3-carbon PGAs – required to occur three times, 3 CO2 + 3 RuBP -> 6…
