Overview
Eukaryotic Cell Lab Report
Cell
There are two different types of cells, prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Prokaryotes, such as bacteria, lack a nuclear membrane and other membrane bound organelles. Their genetic material consists of a single molecule of singular DNA. Eukaryotes, such as plant and animal cells, have a nuclear membrane and other membrane bound organelles. Their genetic material consists of…
Effect of Inhibitors on Enzyme Activity
Chemistry
Laboratory
Potato
Polyphenol Oxidase enzyme activity can be detected by change in colour of solution, Inhibitors prevent the reaction of the enzymes with substrates, the enzyme is relatively specific. Aim: To design and conduct an experiment to demonstrate enzyme activity of Polyphenol Oxidase and Peroxidase when mixed with catechol, caffeic acid, pyrogallad, tyrosine, guacol, and water, to…
Deviance: In the eye of the beholder?
Eye
Deviance – Any violation of a widely held norm. Crime – An act that has been declared illegal by some authority. Deviance, like beauty, is in the eyes of the beholder. There is nothing inherently deviant in any human act, something is deviant only because some people have been successful in labeling it so. (J….

Village
OBJECTIVE OF THE TRIP The 3 day rural immersion program at TRTC, Chaibasa was a thoroughly inspirational experience that shook down the walls of usual disregard towards the increasing plight of Indian Villages. The premises couldn’t have been more involving and direct than talking to the villagers ourselves and deducing the exact standards of facilities…
Design Lab – “The Rotocopter”
Science
Weight
In this lab or experiment, we looked for variables that affect the falling motion (how long it takes) of a structure called a rotocopter. The purpose was to see and find out how the weight of the increasing number of paper clips attached (independent variable) would affect the time (dependent variable) it takes for the…
Overpopulation vs Overconsumption
Environment
Extinction
Overpopulation
Introduction: In today’s world, the use of technology for communication and media is crucial to stay updated on current events. However, as public communication increases, so does awareness about global issues. The article “Brazil: Amazon Deforestation Seen Surging” by Reuters discusses the causes and effects of deforestation in the South American rainforest. Similarly, the Center…
The Conservation Dilemma: The Ethical Debate Surrounding the Killing of Sharks
Ecology
Shark
Sharks, fearsome predators, have always fascinated mankind. Their prominence has propagated misinformation, harming their ecosystems. This article discusses shark hunting ethics and practicalities. Sharks sustain ocean ecosystems. Apex predators control prey populations to ensure biodiversity and environmental stability. Sharks balance ecosystems by limiting illness and cycling nutrients. Humans threaten sharks everywhere. Exploitation, habitat destruction, and…
Applied Research Project
Evaluation
Mind
Science
Section A Applied research is among the several classifications of studies found under the bigger concept of research. With the thought of applied research in mind, I personally thought of bringing myself as a researcher to finding out answers to questions which would later be “applied” into the field to which the problem relates….
Gene Therapy Fields of Medicine
Mutation
Therapy
Gene therapy is one of the promising fields of medicine which helps to treat and prevent incurable diseases. Some genetic diseases do not become manifest until well after birth, in some cases not until adulthood. In this case, gene therapy helps to identify and replace defective genes by healthy ones. Genes are specific sequences of…
Different Examples of Microevolution
Evolution
Mutation
MicroevolutionMicroevolution is nothing but the small change that occurs in plants or animals because of genetic inconsistency present in the gene pool of the inhabitants. Microevolution could be the main cause for the origin of a new species. The changes in allele (alternate terms of a gene) frequency, which could be a result of mutation,…
description | Biology is the scientific study of life. It is a natural science with a broad scope but has several unifying themes that tie it together as a single, coherent field. For instance, all organisms are made up of cells that process hereditary information encoded in genes, which can be transmitted to future generations. |

quotations | Biology is the most powerful technology ever created. Where there’s water on Earth, you find life as we know it. Biology is the study of complicated things that have the appearance of having been designed with a purpose.,Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution. Biology gives you a brain. Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother. Just like a single cell, the character of our lives is determined not by our genes but by our responses to the environmental signals that propel life. |
information | Father: Aristotle Perspective: Definition of the Biological Perspective Biology is defined as the study of life while psychology examines the human mind and its processes, especially those affecting behavior. Biological perspective links biology and psychology by focusing on the analysis of human behavior based on biological and physical evidence.
