CHAPTER 6 A TOUR OF THE CELL Learning objectives: How We Study Cells Distinguish between magnification and resolution. Magnification is how large it appears, resolution is how clear. Describe the principles, advantages, and limitations of the light microscope, transmission electron microscope, and scanning electron microscope. Light Microscope: Visible light comes through the bottom up to the lens. Can magnify up to 1000x and study living cells, but cannot view smaller objects such as cell organelles.

CHAPTER 7 MEMBRANE STUCTURE AND FUNCTION Membrane Structure Explain the meaning of the statement that phospholipids and most other membrane constituents are amphipathic molecules. It means that they have both a hydrophilic region and a hydrophobic region. Explain how the fluid mosaic model of a membrane is structured and the evidence that supports the model. The membrane is a fluid structure with a mosaic of various proteins embedded in or attached to a double layer of phospholipids. Using freeze-fracture to study cells under an electron microscope has shown a pattern that appears to agree with the fluid mosaic model. Describe the fluidity of the components of a cell membrane and explain how membrane fluidity is influenced by temperature and membrane composition.

Technology and society

Technology and Humans Technology- defined in more ways than any one human could possibly know. Technology can range from the ancient tools of early man to the complex networks of machinery that congest today?s world. Society has slowly been evolving and developing the devices we use to survive and prosper for many millennia. New inventions are shaping the world in which we live by making tasks easier. These new advances could also be seen as harmful with many large and small drawbacks. Technology is nothing new to humans and has in fact been employed for centuries. As it evolves continually every day and continues to play such a pivotal role in our lives, how has technology worked together with humans in the past and into the future? HUMAN HISTORY

Heritability appears in many texts in school. Heritability statistics rose from the work of Galton. It is a group statistic that makes no sense to apply to an individual. Heritability is the extent to which differences in the appearance of a trait across several people can be accounted for by differences in their genes. Heritability does not reflect the extent to which traits will be passed down from parent to offspring. The estimates usually come from twin studies. If IQ is very heritable, it means that individuals with the same genes have similar IQs and individuals with different genes have relatively different IQs. Problems arise when what IQ doesn?t mean is considered.

Sleep Disorders Matt Barnett Insomnia: Insomnia is the inability to get sufficient sleep. Insomnia can also include constant interruption in sleep, like waking up frequently throughout the night. It can be transient (only a few nights), short-term (2-4 weeks), or chronic (most nights for a period of over a month). There are a few treatment options however. Many patients will use sleeping pills to help them fall and stay asleep. Many behavioral techniques can be used to combat insomnia as well, like utilizing relaxation. Because of the causes of insomnia, like anxiety, it may be more beneficial to treat the symptoms than the effects.

Breanna Takacs AP Biology A2 11/27/12 Cellular Respiration Free Response Questions The Krebs Cycle and oxidative phosphorylation are both processes involved in obtaining ATP from pyruvate, the end product of glycolysis. Before the Krebs Cycle actually begins, pyruvate combines with coenzyme A to produce acetyl CoA. One NADH and one CO2 are produced. Then the Krebs Cycle begins when citrate is formed by combining acetyl CoA with OAA. 3NADH, 1 FADH2 are made and CO2 is released. It is possible for the Krebs Cycle to be a cycle because the last product is OAA which reacts with acetyl CoA.

Biology: Ch. 20 Study Guide Explain how advances in recombinant DNA technology have helped scientists study the eukaryotic genome. In short: Recombinant DNA has allowed the creation of the biotechnology industry. Longer explanation: Recombinant DNA is DNA in which nucleotide sequences from two different sources ? often different species ? are combined in vitro into the same DNA molecule. Once created by scientists, it is introduced into cultured cells that replicate the DNA and express its genes, creating a desired protein product. This has allowed genetic engineering (the direct manipulation of genes for practical purposes), which has created the biotech industry. Explain the goals of the Human Genome Project.
