|
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
|
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique used in molecular biology to amplify a single copy or a few copies of a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude, generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence.
|
|
|
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
|
test that checks for problems with the electrical activity of your heart
|
|
|
Scanning Electron Microscope
|
produces images of a sample by scanning it with a focused beam of electrons.
The electrons interact with atoms in the sample, producing various signals that contain information about the sample's surface topography and composition. |
|
|
Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM)
|
a beam of electrons is transmitted through an ultra-thin specimen, interacting with the specimen as it passes through it.
|
|
|
Fluorescence Microscope
|
the sample you want to study is itself the light source. The technique is used to study specimens, which can be made to fluoresce.
The fluorescence microscope is based on the phenomenon that certain material emits energy detectable as visible light when irradiated with the light of a specific wavelength. The sample can either be fluorescing in its natural form like chlorophyll and some minerals, or treated with fluorescing chemicals. |
|
|
Cell Cultivation
|
refers to the removal of cells from an animal or plant and their subsequent growth in a favorable artificial environment.
|
|
|
Mist Netting
|
used by ornithologists and bat biologists to capture wild birds and bats for banding or other research projects.
Mist nets are typically made of nylon or polyester mesh suspended between two poles, resembling a volleyball net. |
|
|
Chorioallantoic Membrane (CAM) Assay
|
The chorioallantoic membrane — also called the chorioallantois or abbreviated to CAM — is a vascular membrane found in eggs of some amniotes, such as birds and reptiles. It is formed by the fusion of the mesodermal layers of two developmental structures: the allantois and the chorion.
In mammals, this structure forms the placenta. |

|
Origin of Life |
1. Spontaneous Generation 2. Biogenesis 3. Biogechemical theory |
|
|
Spontaneous Generation
|
production of living organisms from nonliving matter, as inferred from the apparent appearance of life in some supposedly sterile environments.
|
|
|
Biogenesis
|
production of new living organisms or organelles. The law of biogenesis, attributed to Louis Pasteur, is the conclusion that complex living things come only from other living things, by reproduction (e.g. a spider lays eggs, which develop into spiders).

Life: Structure, Function, and Control |
The function of any level in biological organization determines the structure, so that it can be controlled ....for the function to be done properly and controlled |
