Animals communicate - using protective coloration - limited communication schemesCommunication scheme: dance by bees in the interior of hives - roving scouts look for sourc of pollen and go back to the hive - dance indicates where the source of food is relative to the sun - speed of the dance relative to the distance of sourceVervet alarm calls - signal by chirping to companions - a non random signal companions with calls specific to a certain predator - deliberate, flexible, and limited

Selam Kubrom AP World Chapter 1 African Genesis In 1856, Germans discovered bones of a creature with a human body but with the face of an ape (Neanderthals) 3 years later, Charles Darwin in On the Origin of Species that ?the time frame for all biological life was far longer than most persons had supposed.? Natural Selection: The biological process by which variations that enhance a populations ability to survive in a particular environment become dominant in a species over very long periods and lead to evolution of a new species. Africa was thought of the origin of all humans because of the large populations of apes even though there was no evidence.

review overview

Warm-Up Name one organ in the respiratory system and state its significance in the human body State three things you know about the respiratory system. By: Chlo? Durfee Sydney Modder Ramya Ramesh Megumi Sharma Chase Damis The Respiratory System Epiglottis Blocks food and liquids from entering the trachea Spoon-like structure Larynx/Pharynx Pharynx (throat) Provides passageway for respiratory and digestive tracts Tube like structure that connects nasal and oral cavities to larynx Coordinates breathing and swallowing while eating Larynx (Voice Box) Connects pharynx to trachea Provides airway Prevents food from entering respiratory tract Produces sound Trachea (Windpipe) This is the tube that air passes through in order to get to the bronchi and then the lungs.

Emily Hebel September 11, 2011 Critical Reading #1 Task 1 A negative control in your experiment shows the experimenter that your experiment actually works in the way that it should, when you neglect the experimental variable. It makes sure there is no effect when there should be no effect. A negative control also rules out any alternative explanations. A negative control addresses the concerns that there could be something else causing the reaction.

Twins
Identical
Fraternal
Identical twins are nature’s own human clones, only they share the same conception, uterus and birthday. Twins can help us understand nature and nurture through observing separated identical twins or just through their behavior in general. “Curiously twinning rates vary by race. The rate among Caucasians is roughly twice that of Asians and half that of Africans … In Western countries most twins are fraternal, and fraternal twins are increasing with the use of fertility drugs.” (Meyers 97) Fraternal twins are just like siblings that share a uterus and a birthday.

The definition of Biology
Biology is the study of life. Alongside physics and chemistry, biology is one of the largest and most important branches of science. At the highest level, biology is broken down based on the type of organism being studied: zoology, the study of animals; botany, of plants; and microbiology, of microorganisms. Each field has contributed to mankind or the Earth’s well-being in numerous ways. Most prominently: botany, to agriculture; zoology, to livestock and protection of ecologies; and microbiology, to the study of disease and ecosystems in general.
