P6: slow twitch vs fast twitch fibers - always there. Skeletal muscles: several bundles of muscle fibers, many myofibrils, bundle of thin actin and thi

P2- drag: forces against forward motion, drag, cross-sectional area perpendicular to direction of flow determines resistance. P3: understand concepts:

P2: very important: atomic size and organismal size, biological systems have predictable and accurate activities, their margin of error must be small l

Interact with each other to produce spectrum of effects: some are more specific than others, concentration in cell determined by, rate of synthesis, ra

Do not know all of the hormones - read them though. Control synthesis and secretions of hormones in pituitary gland. Tropic hormones: hormones released

P3: young"s modulus of elasticity, ratio between stress and strain constant, e quantifies the stiffness of the material. Deformation due to stress = r

Lecture 6: capture, ingestion, digestion and absorption of. Food in animals: nutritional requirements obtained from food. All animal obtain food by eat

Lecture 5: whole plant and crop photosynthesis: response of photosynthesis to light intensity. Minimum light intensity at photosynthetic carbon gain =

Hyphae: long branched filaments fruiting (dense), absorptive (spaced) Most is underground: mycelium, huge surface for absorbing nutrients. Extremely im
