Botany - study of plants Characteristics autotrophs, some are both heterotrophic & autotrophic ex. Venus Flytrap multicellular eukaryotic (has a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles) sexual reproduction (2 haploid cells [gametes] => 1 diploid [zygote]) sessile (can't move) Plants are put into grou
This video shows how scientists can control the behaviour of cells simply by switching on a light. The technique, known as optogenetics, is teaching us about everything from how we wake up to how we learn. That's why Nature Methods has named optogenetics as its Method of the Year 2010.
Living on Mars is a National Geographic production documentary dealing with the possibilities of making Mars more hospitable to humans, thus terraforming it.
“On the surface, the red planet’s freeze-dried world of rocks, ice, and dust looks like an unlikely place to plant a garden. But rocks and minerals found by the Mars rovers show it must once have had warm

HIV drugs, Abacavir and Didanosine increase the risk of heart attack
A study to assess the adverse effects of anti-retroviral drugs shows that two widely-used HIV drugs are associated with an increased risk of heart attack/the formation of blood clots in the heart. With the use of Didanosi

Mount Sinai Researchers Develop Mouse Model To Help Find How A Gene Mutation Leads To Autism
Researchers from Mount Sinai School of Medicine have found that when one copy of the SHANK3 gene in mice is missing, nerve cells do not effectively communicate and do not show cellular properties associated with no
ANKAWA, 23 December 2010 (IRIN) – Hundreds of Iraqi Christians are fleeing to the northern semi-autonomous Kurdish region and particularly the town of Ankawa, which has become a safe haven for the country’s Christians, thanks to its s
THE two most commonly known medications for slowing down balding are Minoxidil lotion (Regaine or Rogaine), drops of which are rubbed into the scalp twice daily and Finasteride tablets (trade name Propecia), which are taken once daily.
The lotion can be purchased over the counter but the tablets require a script. Both only work as long as you

Probiotic natural health product over undeclared dairy, says Health Canada
OTTAWA - Health Canada says a probiotic natural health product is being recalled because it could contain trace amounts of dairy not declared on the labels.
It says the oral capsules — Cultures de Yogourt 2 Milliards (NPN 80013273), from the company Bio-Dis
Genetic Mutation May Lead to Violent and Reckless Behavior
In a discovery that could help scientists further understand impulsivity in humans, researchers have announced they found a genetic variant that may contribute to spontaneous violent behavior.
In a new study released in the journal Nature, a multinational research team examined the genes of 96 violent criminal offenders in Finland with behavioral disorders and compared i
8-Year-Olds Publish Article in Respected Biology Journal
A class project about bees prepared by a group of British schoolchildren was published in a leading scientific journal Wednesday.
The 25 students -- aged between eight and 10 -- studied how bees see color and patterns for a class project at Blackawton Primary School in southwestern England.
I have some true/false questions. If anyone can answer them or a subset of them, that would be amazing, and I really appreciate it! Thank you:
a) Calmodulin is calcium response-mediating protein. b) G proteins can "self-inactivate" by hydrolyzing the bound GTP. c) Protein kinase A binds cAMP. d) Dimerization of receptor tyrosine kinases acti
If we think of adaptation as an adjustment and environmental changes, we have seen that adaptive mutation can occur as a result of two scenarios - different from the population there was no prior adaptive change, or from a new mutation that appeared after the change.

You come across a membrane protein that has been determined to be involved with the passive transport process. A gene has been identified for the protein however you are unable to develop any structural information about this protein by crystallography, CD or NMR.

Procrastinating primates can be turned into workaholics, thanks to gene therapy. The discovery, which sheds light on the workings of the brain's reward centre, may further our understanding of mood disorders, such as depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The three circular structures in this image are often found together. A. Name the structure indicated by the “A” – be specific. B. Name the structure indicated by the “B” C. Why are these structures often found together?
A person who loves to eat salty foods is caught in a potato chip factory overnight. After eating his way thru the Pringles, he realized that his undoing is soon to come as there is no water anywhere to be found. Explain what is happening inside his blood with the plasma (the fluid component of the blood) and the blood cells (RBCs and WBCs). Be sure to identify the solute
could you help me with an explanation with why the answers are correct. Thank you so much
