Study tips
  • first of all, teachers always say to study in a quite place. This can help some people but some people just can't sit in a completely quite room with a book... you will get bored (trust me!)
  • find a place where you can be by yourself with very little distraction.
  • if you have to turn on some CALM music and don't blast it.
  • the way you study should depend on what type of learner you are
    • *visual learners_ flash cards are great
    *hands on learners_ you can re-write things, until committed to memory
    *audio learners_ read the material aloud to yourself or have some one read aloud to you.

    Note Taking Tips
    • Don't write down notes word for word
    • you can use short hand (a system for rapid writing that uses symbols or abbreviations for letters, words, or phrases.) or slang no one is going to read your note but you! MAKE SURE YOU CAN READ YOUR OWN NOTES!


      Test Taking Tips
      • STUDY!!!! for you own sake!!!! ~see study tips above~don't over think questions
      • pace your self so you don't run out of time
      • do what you know first and then come back to the harder ones (remember to come back to the ones you skipped!!!)

      There are seven stages in meiosis:
      Prophase I - doubling of homologous chromosomes (identical chromosomes - 2 pairs of each sister chromatids)

      Metaphase I - lining of homologous chromosomes in the middle

      Anaphase I - separation of homologous chromosomes to form two cells with 2n of the chromosomes

      Telophase I - two cells - 2n of chromosome number

      Metaphase II - lining up of chromosomes in the middle

      Anaphase II - separation of chromosomes into chromatids (2n to 1n)

      Telophase II - four new 1n cells

      MITOSIS



      There are four phases of mitosis & those four phases include:
      Prophase - A cell gets the idea that it is time to divide. It has to get everything ready. It has to duplicate DNA, and generally prepare the cell for the process of mitotic division.

      Metaphase - Now all of the pieces are aligning themselves for the big split. The DNA lines up along a central axis and send out specialized tubules that connect to the DNA. The DNA has now condensed into chromosomes. Two strands of a chromosome are connected at the center with something called a centromere. The tubules actually connect to the centromere, not the DNA.

      Anaphase - Here we go! The separation begins. Half of the chromosomes are pulled to one side of the cell; half go the other way. When the chromosomes get to the side of the cell, it's time to move on to telophase. (Sweet dude telophase time!!!)
       Telophase - complete division of cell membrane, and two cells are formed
      (and then there were two!)

      ****Mitosis occurs in all cells, but meiosis is just for reproduction of cells****

      ]]>      The Cycles!http://123biology.wetpaint.com/page/The+Cycles%213ora1nge6http://123biology.wetpaint.com/page/The+Cycles%21Mon, 17 Sep 2007 08:40:10 CDT Water Cycle The earth has a limited amount of water. That water keeps going around and around and around and around and (well, you get the idea)
      This cycle is made up of a few main parts:

      • evaporation_when the sun heats up water (rivers or lakes or the ocean) and turns it into vapor. The water vapor goes into the air.
      *transpiration_ the process by which plants lose water out of their leaves.

      • condensation _Water vapor in the air gets cold and changes back into liquid, forming clouds.

      • precipitation_occurs when so much water has condensed that the air cannot hold it anymore. The clouds get heavy and water falls back to the earth. (as rain, hail, sleet or snow.)
      The End of the water cycle
      (well not really because then it just starts ALL over again)
      ________________________________________________________
      Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Cycle
      Oxygen is what animals need in order to survive and carbon dioxide is what plants need for them to survive. Animals breath in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, while plants take in carbon dioxide and let out oxygen.

      • animals need oxygen to compelete an internal cycle Resperation
      and
      • plants need carbon dioxide for Photosynthesis.

      (this cycle is continued and never stoped so there really in no end!)





      ________________________________________________________
      Nitrogen Cycle

      • Nitrogen makes up about 78% of the atmosphere
      • The only way that nitrogen get down below the atmosphere is because if nitrogen fixing bacteria, or chemosyntehic bacteria.
      • Plants take nitrogen to make food and materials.Once the nitrogen is changed it is used in fertilizer, and other materials.

      ]]>      Introduction.http://123biology.wetpaint.com/page/Introduction.FiiLx3http://123biology.wetpaint.com/page/Introduction.Fri, 14 Sep 2007 09:06:58 CDT
      Welcome to 123 Biology! This site introduces and gives you all the information you need on Biology. It also gives you tips on how to study, takes notes, and test well. The study of living organisms utilizing the scientific method is called Biology. Saying that, lets begin by stating that there are 8 things that all organisms (or living things) have in common:


      1) All organisms are made up of cells. (cells make up tissues, that make up organs, that make up organ systems, which make up US!!)
      2)All organisms are capable of reproducing. (umm.. like have babies and stuff)
      3)All organisms are based on a genetic code. (DNA)
      4)All organisms eventually grow as well as develop.(example:getting taller)
      5)All organisms obtain materials such as (food) and energy.
      6)All organisms respond to their environment.
      7)All organisms maintain an internal environment.(they can keep a normal body temperture)
      8)All organisms change over time.
      ________________________________________________________

      Now we have this thing , the scientific method they call it. It tells you how to do an experiment with the following!


      step 1_ state the problem
      step 2_ make a Hypothesis
      step 3_ test or idea
      step 4_ analyzing results
      step 5_ draw a conclusion

      (pretty simple i know!) But can you really use these same exact steps every time you try an experiment? not really , right? Although these steps may come in handy every now and again!
