REGARDING YOUR OWN PERFORMANCE1. What were the three aspects of the assignments I’ve submitted that I am most proud of?
I am most proud of my compendium reviews. I feel that I spend a lot of time on those and use the internet as a resource to supplement the class material in a way [...]
Significant Events During Embryonic and Fetal Development
1. Fertilization begins when the sperm penetrates the egg and ends with the production of a zygote. This normally takes 24 hours. This is significant as it is the very first stage of embryonic and fetal development.
2. Implantation takes place after 7-12 days. The egg [...]

Biological evolution explains the unity and diversity of life. (Descent from a common ancestor explains the likeness of living things. Adaptation to different environments explains the diversity of living things).
Fossil evidence supports evolution.
Darwin discovered [...]
World Resource ABUSEWorld resource use–particularly energy use has gotten out of control. Economic development has put the world on a fast track to destruction. Stereotypically, Americans are one of the most wasteful of societies. Population growth will naturally contribute to the depletion of resources. How much depletion, however, will result in [...]
These images show a human population simulation. The time frame for this simulation extends to the year 2050. The first simulation shows the world population versus that of Yemen. The second simulation shows the world population versus that of the United States.
1. My high fertility rate country was Yemen. The fertility rate for this country [...]

Why We Develop and Age
The life cycle of higher organisms requires two types of cell division.
Mitosis: growth and repair of tissues
Meiosis: gamete production
Meiosis happens in the ovaries for females. One egg per month bursts from the wall of the ovary to be [...]
I used playdough for this lab to build a model of a working limb. I chose to create a model of the arm–showing the forearm both contracted and relaxed.
I began by forming the bone structure. First is detail of the ball and socket joint that connects the pectoral (shoulder) girdle and the upper limb.
The large [...]

If Exercise Works: Why are we so FAT?
Exercise has a substancial number of benefits. Studies have shown a correlation between exercise and the improvement of cardiorespiratory endurance. Exercise helps prevent weight gain because muscles metabolize faster than other tissues. A favorable change in body composition is often coupled with exercise. Exercise seems to prevent certain [...]
This lab was a muscle testing. We began by observing our bicep at rest, and then observing changes as it was extended. Next, we repeatedly made a fist with one hand over a period of twenty seconds. Then we introduced ice to the testing to see how change in temperature would effect muscle activity. Following [...]
