Biology ...?
Q. In case your wondering, I am helping my grandaughter. She doesnt like her sciences so I my son and I are trying to help her. Unfortunatly I never took any of this in school so I kind of depend on everyone answering my questions with some detail, so that I may explain it to her. If any of you could help me with answering my other biology questions I would appreciate it!

A. Why doesn't she like sciences? Is it boring in school? I'd look into that. Science is becoming more important all the time. There's no reason for her to be opposed to science at this age (I'm assuming she's young). Encourage her to take notes in class, and check them. Provide positive reinforcement when she has good notes. Ask her something interesting from science class that day. Also, try to make science more real for her. If she's more interested in it, she'll pay more attention, and you won't have to ask so many questions. Take her to an aquarium, or the zoo. Go on the tours and watch some of the presentations. There are tons of cool facts that should get little minds interested. Take her for a hike in the woods or hills and show her… [cont.]

A. If you want to mix biology and computers: Try Bioinformatics. It is the specialty of genetic data bases. Your school might have classes. Or you can pick up Bioinformatics for Dummys. (My Bioinformatics class used it as the Textbook) If you want to mix biology and electronics: Try analyser repair. For example at the Red Cross we have 2 hematology analysers. They are extremely complex machines. We can do simple maintence, but not complex. (I.e. we change reagents and troubleshoot) For bigger problems they call in a tech. Good job, but lots of travel. If you just want to get working ASAP, try lab tech. Most are low staring pay ~15 per hour... but almost always hiring.

Asked by - Sun Dec 11 21:37:29 2011 - Higher Education (University +) - 1 Answers - Comments

A. First off, if you are very proficient with chemistry and physics, then you will soon realize that you must be proficient with mathematics as it is the underlying basis for chemical reactions and most physical laws that were constructed (i.e. Newton w/ calculus and physics eqns). Biology actually has a lot of math as its basis, once you get past your introductory courses, you will see that you encounter advanced mathematics in courses such as ecology (eigenvectors are calculated here). Also most universities have pre-requisites of Calculus I and II, so you will have to become very comfortable with dealing with math. So to answer your question plainly, the math classes will not be all that tough, just make sure you have a strong platform to… [cont.]

What is the difference between the two biology classes?
Q. Im trying to decide what biology class to take this fall? Im debating between Cell Biology & genetics and diversity in the living world. What is the difference and which one would be more fun and easy??? Thanks for all your help!
Asked by Amber - Thu Jul 15 15:26:58 2010 - Other - Education - 1 Answers - Comments

A. Cell Biology & genetics will deal with more of the nitty gritty stuff like meiosis and mitosis, protein replication, etc. So a smaller scale it deals with what makes up an organism. Diversity in the living world would be a larger scale more like ecology, taxonomy maybe, etc. This is how organisms make up the world.

A. You should study chemistry. You will learn things that will be essential to an understanding of, for example, pharmacology, molecular biology, biochemistry, immunology, physiology, genetics and, even radiology, all of which are branches of or essential to an understanding of modern medicine. With an education in chemistry, you can easily pick up the biology that you need. It is much harder to learn chemistry by oneself.

A. Some schools vary but by biology they mean basic gen biology . . . not biology related classes like microbio or molecular cell bio. By one year they mean bio I and bio II which are 4 hours each if I recall correctly. Obviously many med schools expect bio majors but in my med school class there are history majors (just one example) who took just gen bio I / II and gen chem I / II. The bare minimum's. While I took biochem, molecular cell bio, anatomy, physiology , etc etc.

A. EMT is a healthcare job. It has very little to do with Biology. You should look into jobs that give you exposure into how the healthcare industry works and how its like being an MD. That will give you tools for your resume and to give you an idea if you want to go through med school, residency, and live like an MD.

Q. How do the small ears of a polar bear help it to survive? Also, what is in their mother's milk that helps to keep them warm as babies?
Asked by femmestranger - Mon May 22 02:11:48 2006 - Other - Science - 3 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Since polar bears live in cold climates, hence they have evolved mechanisms to conserve the heat loss from their body. For instance they have a thick fur to conserve heat loss through the body, for the same reason they have smaller ears (notice sometimes how your ears turn red when you blush, or after a hot bath). Mother's milk doesn't have anything special to keep them special. However polar animals have higher amounts on brown fat that keeps their body temperatures constant my uncoupling the reactions in the body that create ATP thereby releasing energy.

A. This is similar to my case, My major was Music education. The education field is very confusing if you are new to it. You'll have to take education classes and you'll have to take science classes. Your college schedule will be tight! You may have do 4 1/2 years if you don't do summer classes. What you do is all of the requirements for the normal bio major and do the education requirements you need for certification. You'll be on double duty, stay on top of it and do well. Take all of the science you can now. You'll go to college and they'll give you a placement test. Sometimes they let you skip levels if you do well enough and every class you can get out of is a great thing. Hope this helped you

A. Admission requirements and costs and all that depend on the school you want to go to. No1 can give you an answer unless you specify the school (and then you could do your onw research). A MS usually takes 2 yrs, depends on the advisor you have. I was in a nuc engineering Ph D program and my officemate was here for 4 yrs and 1/2 for a MS... so I changed advisors. No one can tell you for sure. Just look into different schools, call their departments and ask all this. It'll show you're interested and you get your questions answered right. Good luck.
