Learning Target 1: Being a Scientist Final Affirmation: You and the Science of Biology The study of biology is relevant now because it has everything to do with life and life is everywhere on Earth. We can use biology to keep that from changing. Biology has helped us grow food, protect the environment, tell us how the body works, and so much more. Thanks to biology viruses and diseases can also be controlled. Biology has advanced the world so much and without it everything would be completely different. The study of biology will be relevant in the future because it will give the world an opportunity to learn so much more. In the future we might be able to cure cancer because of scientist in the field of biology. The biologist that …show more content…
People, animals, plants, and many more organisms surround us on a daily basis. This will be the same for the future. Biology will help us learn more about the human body, along with other living things, and make advancements to the world. Such things include advancements in medicine and finding an alternative to fossil fuels. 2. Choose 1 of the actions listed at the beginning of this activity. How does the process of cooperating, communicating, and thinking like a scientist relate to that action? When deciding whether of not to support the construction of a new dam, we have to use the process of cooperating, communicating, and thinking to come to a logical conclusion that is best for this world. Cooperating is important because it allows people to work together to come to a final decision by using everyones knowledge. Communication is also needed to tell others your opinion and to share the pros and cons of creating a dam. Lastly, thinking like a scientist is greatly needed. When making a decision like this, bias must be out of the opinions given and facts are needed because creating a dam can greatly affect the …show more content…
When it comes to me personally, biology tells me how I breath, eat, use my brain, etc. The decisions I make all reflect around what biology has told me. It tells me that I should keep a health diet, exercise, and even work my brain to live a healthy lifestyle and that is what I try to do. Biology also plays a huge part about decisions in my community such as heath codes to keep it’s people safe or where to place building so that the environment is disturbed as little as possible. This can also go for decisions regarding the plant as a whole. We don’t want to destroy the ecosystem so precautions are
• Energy – a healthier diet provides me with more energy when working, at university and playing sport.
Get healthier and reduce the risk of health issues like diabetes, heart disease and cancer
life by decades, biotechnology has the same potential to do the same. Therefore, most advocates argue that since the technology is there it should be used. For ages humans have been, enhance through education and biotechnology could be another method in order to continue to further develop human life.
Genetic engineering is a relevant issue because the research is currently going on around the world. Many people
Being familiar with the history of disease is of great benefit to me and other colleagues. Insects may be different from us but studies performed on them are helping us understand more about disease and how to treat them. They are not as complex as previously thought, and with advanced technology microbiologist are able to observe a lot of things happening within them. Some of these insects are able to fight of these bacteria they become infected with very well, by discovering how they are able to do this scientist can make products that will improve the lives of many people. New antibiotics and vaccines are also being made from these bacteria to help aid our immune system and help us fight of infection. In the medical field these discoveries are going on every day to save the lives of people. I can only imagine how many more medical important discoveries will be found because of these valuable
The concepts I will learn from the bio department will immediately impact my life in a few different ways. These concepts will help me with next semester when I am taking anatomy. But they have already changed my perspective on life. When I go outside and look and the different trees and the colors they are turning it makes me thing of the photosynthesis lab. I walk around and I am less ignorant of how life moves around
Why this is important for my career is because for one I need something to literally and metaphorically plant myself in this field. I want to be known, and this is the first step to do so. Now that the first step is out of the way I can now feed myself and others information about what I need from others and what they need from me in this field of work. Why that is important is because in careers in biology, you need to know about what you're doing in order to do it. Study and patience are astronomically important virtues in
My interest in biology stems from my inquisitive nature and love of discovery. Science is always changing as information is shared and people build on one another’s research. The field of biology is particularly dynamic as new technology gives scientists tools to conduct research in ways that were previously impossible. Biology excites me for the simple reason that there is always more to learn. It is amazing to think that the concepts we learn in class were unheard of when even my youngest teachers were in school. Take introns, segments of nucleic acid that do not code for proteins. We learn about them now as concrete ideas, as sure as the ground beneath our feet. It is hard to imagine that they were discovered just four decades ago. Even
There were two man especially in the past that changed the future. Gregor Mendel and Charles Darwin. Gregor Mendel was very informed about genetics. If you have heard, he is known as "the father of genetics". On the other hand Charles Darwin had the theory of evolution. They both had interest in science when they were younger. Mendel and Darwin both had some bumps in their career. Mendel suffering from depression a lot. Also Darwin from his dad's line of scientists that wanted him to follow their career path. In the end Charles Darwin and Gregor Mendel made a big change. Their research helped later on scientists with research of their own.
For me, biomedical science is extremely profound in the way that it is always changing. New concepts and ideas are constantly emerging. For example in cancer research there is immunotherapy which is a relatively new form of treatment that awakens the immune system so it can fight cancer. I have been witness to this since I was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2013 and again in 2015; although it was unfortunate, the experience anchored my interest in the disease, drugs and the development of treatments.
Modern biotechnological research has created wonders for mankind. It has provided products to combat rare diseases, vaccines for untreatable diseases, food for the hungry and a safer, cleaner environment to our planet.
Through its use, science will be able to increase human lifespan by slowing down the shortening of telomeres, also boosting intelligence, and as mention earlier cure diseases such as HIV/AIDS, hemophilia, sickle cell anemia and several forms of cancer, Huntington’s Tay-Sachs and many more deadly inherited diseases.
In my conclusion, we see all the different things that make up biology and how they are all connected. From the beginning of life, the cell has always played an important part on how
Life is defined by all the living creatures on earth. Biology is a broad topic of the study of life. Biology contains many different types of subjects within it that may be studied, like terrestrial or aquatic animals, or viruses and diseases. Here I will be talking about twelve of the millions of parts: Characteristics of life and kingdoms, biomolecules, nature and the importance of water, cells, energy and the carbon cycle, cell division through mitosis and meiosis, the central dogma through DNA/RNA and proteins, genetics and inheritance, evolution, energy through food webs and food chains, symbiotic relationships, and human impact.
It is technology based on biology and helps improve our own health and earth health. Biotechnology is everywhere around us from foods, medicine, and manufacturing businesses. As said by the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO 2016)it is heavily used in agriculture to help the crops last longer, and fight off most things. It also helps reduce our carbon footprint which is a cause of worldwide global warming. So far the attempts to use this technology too and reduce our carbon footprint haven 't been that good but still no one 's stopping. Biotechnology reduces greenhouse gasses and improves ways of reducing them from industrial buildings and factories. The reduction and better usage of water are also improving to help keep freshwater sources. Without the
