The sell and donation process of human organs is a debatable topic not just amongst the citizens of the United States but in most other countries located all over the world. The motivation of criminals who commit these operations tend to surround one main contributing factor, currency. As money is the motivational factor of these operations, a good word to define such behavior is greed. Greed is amongst the seven deadly sins and is one of the main persuading factors leading to the selling and…
40. What is and ‘Where’ Is ‘SPIRITUAL WORLD’, Why Must Stay Separate from Physical? • Although etymology of the word is clear, when deducting all mere rhetoric and verbal & written ornamentation, one faces a situation that widely accepted the definition of a ‘Spiritual’ does not exist. Back in human history, the word ‘translatable’ to Spiritual was part of Biblical context as something Holly or animated by God. Much later, as human Intelligence and inquisitiveness about Life advanced, it has…
Anatomy and Physiology are two branches of science and they provide the foundation for understanding the body’s parts and functions. Anatomy is the science of body structures and the relationships among them. Physiology is the science of body functions or how the body parts work. Anatomical position is the description of any region or part of the body in a specific stance. The anatomical position is the erect position of the body with the face directed forward, arms at the side, the palms of…
Personal Statement – Tayybah Ahmad (6C1) I remember being in awe the first time I learnt that every living thing was made up of the same basic unit - cells. Some organisms have one cell, some have billions upon billions. They all look very different and have evolved to have vastly different behaviours, but amazingly, underneath it all we are all the same. From the evolutionary changes in human behaviour and physiology, to the neuroscience behind it, biology has always captured my interest. I…
In our world we are constanting fighting to find cures to different diseases and disorders. The human race throughout the years has consistently advanced in ways previously believed to be impossible. Although we have accomplished many triumphs in the world of science, we have to be forever willing to take the next leap. Genetic modification and human cloning is the next big medical breakthrough and technological advancement. Genetic modification and human cloning offers the world an infinite…
thus peptide bonds get exposed and vulnerable to pepsin. Proteins are cut up into smaller polypeptides by pepsin. The gastric juice does not destroy the stomach cells because they are activated only when they reach the lumen. HCL composes of hydrogen and chloride ions that are secreted by parietal cells. Pepsin is released by chief cells in the inactive form, pepsinogen. It is the HCL that catalyzes the chain of events of making pepsin…
Both navigational and migratory behaviors are seen in a large variety of vertebrates across all spheres of life. The ability to navigate and knowing when to migrate is, at least in part, genetic (Lee et al. 2013 and Smith 1985). This means that some organisms can have birth defects that will hinder their navigational and/or migratory behaviors (Lee et al. 2013). Migration is defined as a mass leaving of one place for another, pre-determined one, on a repeating basis (Merriam-Webster 2018). In…
This summer I had an internship working in Paul Garrity’s behavioral biology lab at Brandeis University and conducted experiments on genetically modified common fruit fly, Drosophilia. There I learned about the important research that is being done on these fruit flies throughout the country and the burgeoning science of genetic modification that has begun dominating laboratories across the country. This research focused in on the sensory receptors that the flies use to detect changes in…
of the experiment is to understand the cell. The students will understand the characteristics of the Cell. 2. Describe background information from your lab manual or other references? Amylopast: An organelle in some plant cells that stores the waste of the cell. Cell membrane: thin layer of protein outside of cell that protects the whole structure. Cell Wall: can be found only in plant cells, provides more protection to the cell. Centrosome: helps the cell divide. Cytoplasm: organelles are…
Scientists are often called upon to answer fundamental questions about human variation and its ramifications. While it is easy to get caught up in the idea of being so vastly genetically similar to our ape-like relatives, the assumptions underlying genetic data have more significance than the data itself. This can be seen when studying genetic and behavioral parallels of apes and humans, and how each affects the other with regards to phenotypic similarity. For all of its grandeur, a DNA sequence…
