Biology

The stretch mistakes are the main mistake I use in Biology. The last time I took Biology it was my tenth-grade year in high school; therefore, I do not remember a lot from that class. After the last test I realized I had to change my study habit. I started making Quizlet’s for the vocabulary words, and I rewrite the notes from class so I can understand it more. I decided to challenging myself more, so I can learn more. However, knowing that I am challenging myself I know I will fail, but I know…

colored water and then taping them together to show the whirlpool. That childish fascination has not left me but deepened over the years. This interest has led me to my love of science. My interest in Biology started when I was a sophomore in high school and I had to take a biology class. Taking Biology in high school helped me develop a greater appreciation for…

During three of my four years of high school I took various forms of a biology class, beginning with “Biology Honors” my freshman year and moving on to “IB Biology HL I” in my junior year, followed by “IB Biology HL II” senior year. I recall freshman year paying little to no attention to the lectures I received in class. Instead, I’d write down song lyrics in my biology notebook and talk to the friends sitting next to me. Every exposition on photosynthesis or Latin nomenclature sailed through…

Smell. Taste. Touch. And three-quarters of my hearing. However, the magic number was not always 4.75- it was a bit less. The weeks after my audiologist told me that I lost half my hearing can only be described as utter chaos. I was behind on AP Biology work. Hours were spent with my AP Spanish teacher preparing for aural quizzes. My teachers had grown accustomed to seeing an empty seat where I usually sat because of my frequent doctor appointments. On top of that, the constant pinging in my…

prologue chapter introduces biology and it’s meaning. It states the difference between pseudoscience and testable science. For example, evil forces do not kill the living contents in the biosphere nor do the gods help keep it alive. Instead, the biosphere is based on scientific explanations from observations, inferences, and experiments. In these experiments, there are testable hypotheses, such as whether your plant will die or why the plant grew to the top of the bottle. Biology is directly…

It has been 11 years, but that picture of a heart drawn by my biology teacher when I was in 8th class is still crystal clear in my mind. As the teacher explained about heart 's function, I was so astonished to see how splendidly our body worked, and it drove me to explore more and more about it and motivated me to choose biology as my subject in high school. In the first year of medical school that interest of exploring the human body forced me to study anatomy inside out, but till now it has…

Vegetarianism in Biology: The Cost and Human Relationship Being a vegetarian is not always easy. It affects three (or more) meals of a person’s life every day. A vegetarian is a person who does not eat any meat, including fish and poultry. They do eat eggs, drink milk, and consume animal products; vegans do not. As more and more people become vegetarians, many people wonder if it's natural and the help risks involved, if any. I chose this topic because I am a vegetarian and have been for many…

--Last night, I had a dream in which I was taking a Biology midterm exam. For some reason, I did not begin studying for the exam until about five minutes before it was scheduled to start. After the exam was handed to me, I glanced at the questions and I was unprepared to answer any of them. I became very frightened, but, I remembered I could drop my lowest test score of the semester. So, I erased all of my answers and turned the test in. When I was leaving the testing room, I became anxious…

rapidly than they would without the glucose additive. Our independent variable was the glucose, and our dependent variable was E.coli cell density. Methods: This procedure was obtained from the Growth Kinetics in Bacterial Cell Culture in the Cell Biology Lab Manual of Carthage College (2016). The wavelength of the spectrophotometer was set to 600nm. Four flasks were obtained that contained 50mL bacteria broth and labeled as follows: control…
