My Choice Of Marine Biology

Decent Essays
My career of choice for the future is marine biology. I am very interested in marine biology because I 've always been fascinated by the ocean and the creatures that live in it. Since I was young I found it strange how we know more about the depths of space than we know about our ocean. The mystery intrigued me and to this day I still want to pursue a career in marine biology. Also another reason I chose marine biology is because of the episode in Seinfeld where George has to pretend he is a marine biologist.
In order to pursue this dream I would need to major in marine biology. While in college I would take a course in marine ecology. In this class I would learn creature’s relationships with each other and their habitats. Another thing to

I would also have to take many other biology classes of course and basic science classes like, Chemistry and Physics. A math class would also be important when trying to become a marine biologist. These subjects are important to have because they all play a certain role in the career of marine biology. Marine ecology is bit obvious, but it would of course help understand more about the actual creatures I would be studying as a marine biologist. Basic biology classes are important because not only will they help me learn new things, they will also help me referees have myself on the things I 've previously learned in other biology classes. Chemistry and Physics play a very important in life, therefore they would play a very important part in marine biology. When studying the ocean there could be certain chemicals that need to be examined, or maybe you would need to study a certain hormone in fish. Either way chemistry plays a very big part in marine biology. Physics is equally important, everyone has to follow the laws of physics, and the same goes for the oceans. But of course the ocean works differently than land. There could be a scenario where you would need to study swimming patterns or how a certain creatures fins work. You can see how important Chemistry and Physics class would be for someone in the marine biology field. And of course math would be greatly …show more content…
Everything that marine biology is, is science. Without science there is no marine biology, there is no discovering the great unknown or figuring out how our world works. If anything you could say that marine biology has contributed to the field of science not the other way around. Anything that has been discovered through marine biology has been given to science. Due to marine biologists, scientists have been able to figure out a lot of things about our planet. We have been able to learn things that benefit all of society, for example cleaning up an oil spill. The whole world relies on the ocean, it takes up seventy percent of the earth and it is responsible for much of what happens in everyday life. It is a big factor in weather the closer you are to the coast and it can still affect you even if you are hundreds of miles inland. Much of our food comes from the ocean and we receive most of our proteins from it. And not only humans rely on it, like I said the whole world relies on the ocean including plants and

    Any course with the designation “AP” sounded challenging, but an intensified class like AP Biology sounded more challenging, due to its extensive lab reports and difficult scientific concepts. Taking AP Biology felt like being a doctor, wearing a lab coat or writing a report for every lab we experimented with. AP Biology not only covered the human body at a molecular level, but also provided me the experience of what working in a lab truly felt like. The experience and the class fascinated me and helped me gain some practical experience with tools such as centrifuges or micropipettes. Like AP Biology, Anatomy/Physiology also provided me with lab experience in dissecting various organisms.…

    Without sharks, the plankton eater population would grow out of control consuming the plankton we depend on for survival. According to sharksavers.org, “Sharks groom many populations of marine life to the right size so that those prey species don’t cause harm to the ecosystem by becoming too populous.” Several scientific studies validate that the reduction of sharks would result in loss of economically important shellfish and fish, such as tuna, “that maintain the health of coral reefs.” (sharksavers) The ocean is the life support system of the planet, it regulates climate and feeds many people.…

    I will be taking general chemistry and biology—both are the foundation of their field. When I master the material taught in those classes, I will be better prepared for my future courses in chemistry and biology. Since I was in elementary school, my father emphasized the importance of understanding the material rather than just knowing and getting the correct answer. I followed his advice, but I did not actually see the difference between knowing and understanding until spring 2014.…

    As a child, we spend hours upon hours just looking toward the future. We would sit and imagine what we were going to be in our later years. Re-envisioning ourselves as doctors, engineers and Politian’s, some of us ventured out into the dreams some of us still cling to, the professions of artistry, musicians’ professional athletes. As we age so do our wants, needs and interests, morphing new ideas and dreams that we wish to chase down. I for instance came into the world believing I was capable of being the first black President, but seasons change, years pass and a young idealistic black boy grows with more realistic and achievable expectations.…

    Marine biology has always been a passion of mine ever since I first heard about it when I was four years old. My family has a deep-running connection to the ocean so when they realized how interested I was in science, they suggested marine biology. I loved the concept of studying unknown creatures that sit miles below the surface of our planet that no human has ever seen. I’ve read many textbooks and field guides over the years, which started as an amusing pastime. However, the more I read, the more I became completely and utterly engrossed in the subject which eventually shaped me into what I am today.…
