Animal Diversity and Classification Is My Life Right Now
For the past week, I have been required to study animal diversity and classification for my Biology 2 course and lab. I knew that it would be difficult, but I had never imagined that it would be so difficult. I do not think that plants and animals are the most interesting topics. That is what [...]
Prokaryotic Domains for Bacteria
I was in the lab the other day, and I was able to study the different forms (or domains) of bacteria. It was interesting. I was required to study microscopic mounts from algae and plants to strain of blood contaminated by various bacteria. I was especially intrigued by the fact that I was able to [...]
How Medicine Is Produced
Have you ever wondered what processes are involved in producing medicine? I have certainly wondered. As I was researching, I found this video that was brilliantly created to show how medicine is made from molecules. If you have studied the basic DNA processes, you will notice that as the production dives into the human body, [...]
How Understanding the Folding of Proteins Can Be Beneficial for Curing Diseases
Proteins are considered to be the building blocks for most of the cell structures in an organism. Their main purposes are to act as enzymes to carry on chemical reactions and to help fight against bacteria by transportation of materials. Proteins are simply a bunch of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. The proteins [...]
What Is Cancer?
Cancer is a disease that controls society today. It seems like everywhere I turn around, I see someone battling with cancer. This disease is caused by either genetics or the environment. It is when cells rapidly divide to cause a tumor. When normal cells divide, they obey the “rules” of cell division. In normal cells, [...]
The Process of Respiration in 3D
This is a really cool video I found that shows the process of respiration.
Effects of Birth Order On Personality
The Effects of Birth Order on Personality It is evident that everyone has different personality characteristics and ambitions. Although most can notice a common personality connection between individuals of the same birth order, many respected researchers have confirmed the direct correlations between one’s birth order and personality traits. For example, first-borns are often known for [...]
The Basics of a Buffer: Bicarbonate
A buffer is meant to maintain homeostasis within a system. The body, for example, is very complex. There are many systems that must be working together to keep it living and active. One of the things that keeps our body in control when it is working properly is a buffer. These chemicals exist in our [...]
