Emerald Ash Borer

APES 7/8/13 Emerald Ash Borer The emerald ash borer is a green beetle with metallic emerald green wings and purple abdomen. The emerald ash borer is very small and is about 15mm long, which makes them hard to find. Emerald ash borer larvae feed only on ash trees. Specifically, they eat the vascular tissues between the bark and sapwood. The emerald ash borer lives in the ash tree.
Cell Membrane

Tags:
Active transport - The transport of molecules across a membrane and against their natural flow; mediated by carrier proteins and requiring outside energy. Carrier protein - A protein responsible for mediating the active transport of molecules from one side of the lipid bilayer to the other. Transport is carried out by a conformational change that occurs within the protein that forms an opening for specific molecules to pass through. Channel protein - A protein responsible for mediating the passive transport of molecules from one side of the lipid bilayer to the other. Transport is carried out by its membrane-spanning hydrophilic structure which, when open, allows molecules to pass through.

Darwin?s Finches: HARVARD GAZETTE ARCHIVES Copyright 2006 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College Arkhat Abzhanov checks out a selection of Darwin's finches preserved in the Harvard Museum of Natural History. He and his colleagues discovered a molecule that controls the length of the birds' beaks, which enhance their ability to survive on available seeds and insects.

States of Consciousness Waking and Sleep Rhythms Consciousness ? our awareness of ourselves and our environment Biological Rhythms ? periodic physiological fluctuations Circadian Rhythm ? the biological clock; regular bodily rhythms (for example, of temperature and wakefulness) that occur on a 24-hour cycle REM Sleep ? rapid eye movement sleep, a recurring sleep stage during which vivid dreams commonly occur. Also known as paradoxical sleep, because the muscles are relaxed (except for minor twitches) but other body systems are active Alpha Waves ? the relatively slow brain waves of a relaxed, awake sleep Sleep ? periodic, natural, reversible loss of consciousness ? as distinct from unconsciousness resulting from a coma, general anesthesia, or hibernation
