Thoughts on Countdown

The comfort of the technology we now have a this and age comes at a hefty price . With the vast amount of technology and manufactured resources we are quickly losing many of our natural resources. We live on this planet, therefore we are connected to nature as much as we would like to seperate ourselves as a city-boy or city-girl. By the theory of evolution essentially our entire existence is connected to the natural world.

On societeies of organisms.

This article stresses the importance of seeing society as one whole organism. If society would really work together then each person should have a job and efectively complete that job. However, this is not possible in real life because it is only an idealistic thought that EVERYONE will work together and EVERYTHING will work out. I do not believe that a society can function as though it were a single organism. Unlike organelles or cells, humans are capable of thinking and are influened by their emotions. Conflicts and different beliefs tear society apart and thus stop being from working together.

Cell Diversity Wordel

Explanation: I chose these words because they are the organelles of the cell.

Time Love Memory Review

1. Genetics affects an organism's behavior.
This is a crucial part of biology because it also link ecology to molecular biology if DNA is used to explain behavior scientists create a link between the two subjects. This books helps us link and further understand these concepts.

2. Organisms learn from experience.

This is yet another link to ecology as it states organisms have the capacity to learn from past experiences or from their parents.This will help us develope a better understanding of things learned in class.

3. Experiments are needed to come to a conclusion.

The backbone of the book is based on experiments and the conclusions achieved from those experiments. Without those experiments we would not have learned from those scientists or their theories would be accused of being crackpot theories with no realvvalue.

Metabolism, Enzymes, Coenzymes, ATP, ADP, Inhibitors, Thermodynamics, Induced-Fit, Chemical-Energy, Endergonic, Exergonic, Catabolic-Pathway, Anabolic- Pathway, Activation-Energy, Free-Energy

Explanation: These words were chosen because they were the best descriptive words for the metaboic processes.
