Biology – 4.1 Introduction to cellular respiration and fermentation: Aerobic Cellular Respiration: is the process that extracts energy from food in the presence of oxygen. The energy is used to synthesize ATP from ADP and Pi. The ATP molecules are then used to supply energy directly to the cell for their energy-demanding activities. The equation bellow shows how glucose and oxygen are used to release ATP: C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O ∆G = -2870 KJ/mol Aerobic cellular respiration

organisms with their environments1 and each other. More pointedly, it can be defined as the study of the distribution and abundance of organisms. This definition is deceptive. It implies much more than it says explicitly because virtually everything that humans are or do (and the same goes for any species) affects their distribution and abundance. Thus, using the term “human ecology” actually expresses a broad ambition to understand human behavior. B. Borrowing Concepts from Biology The basic

red blood cells for both the human and bird blood cells were identified and the size was estimated through the estimated number of cells that could fit across the diameter. However the white blood cells were not observed as they could not be identified under the light microscope. This is due to the fact that white blood cells make up less than 0.1% whilst red blood cells make up 45% of the substance (NSW Biology 2007). Therefore the number of white blood cells was estimated by using the equation

human beings, we would be classified as an ape. Our closest relatives are, collectively, the chimpanzee and the pygmy chimp. Our next nearest relative is the gorilla. 8. Evolution is called the cornerstone of biology, for many good reasons. Its possible to do research in biology with little to no knowledge about evolution or what happens during evolution. Many biologists do. And without evolution, biology becomes a disparate set of field of studies. Evolutionary explanations pervade all fields in biology bringing them together as one.

The field of Marine Biology is a very adventurous career because it has so much to offer. What exactly is Marine Biology? It is not just people who train dolphins to do flips in front of an audience. It is much more than that. Marine biology can be defined as the scientific study of marine life. From their swimming patterns, their eating habits, their breeding cycles and their habitats, all of this is studied by different Marine Biologists.

Robert Hooke (1665) discovered cork cells through a microscope. (few years later) Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek saw first living cells ‘animalcules’. Matthais Schleiden (1838)stated that plants are made of ‘independent separate beings’. 2. Cells are the smallest units of life. No living entity composed of at least one cell has been found
