Focus on What makes a person "human"

Social theory refers to ideas, arguments, hypotheses, thought-experiments and explanatory speculations about how and why human societies (or elements or structures of such societies) come to be formed, change, and develop over time or disappear.

Linguistics is the scientific study of human language. It tries: first, to observe languages and to describe them accurately, then, to find generalizations within what has been described, finally, to draw conclusions about the general nature of human language.

Describe evidence that DNA carries genetic information Mendel: coined “units of inheritance” (later turned genes) Miescher: isolated “nuclein”(DNA) from pus cells Morgan: studied drosophilia  “genes are on chromosomes” Chromosomes contain proteins and DNA Griffith: Experiments on strains of a pneumoniae bacterium passed genetic material from one bacteria to another  there is an inheritance factor Inheritance factor is probably protein Avery: destroyed everything but...

Molecular Biology is the field of biology that studies the composition, structure and interactions of cellular molecules – such as nucleic acids and proteins – that carry out the biological processes essential for the cell’s functions and maintenance

The following topics are covered in this document: CELL MEMBRANES. Glycolipids. Glycoproteins. Mechanism of action of Penicillin. Three major mechanisms for bacterial resistance against antibiotics. How does a protein end up in the right orientation and in the right membrane. What is the difference between cotranslational and post-translational translocation. CHEMICAL GROUPS ASSOCIATE AND DISSOCIATION. CHLOROPLASTS. ORGANELLES.

The following topics are covered in this document: Cell membranes Microscopy Cell walls Membrane proteins Endo- and exocytosis The cytoskeleton Cell motility Mitochondria and chloroplasts Cell signalling

Biology is the study of living things. It encompasses the cellular basis of living things, the energy metabolism that underlies the activities of life, and the genetic basis for inheritance in organisms. In this document there is a very good summary and introduction to biology

This document introduces the basic pharmacological and toxicological principles of drug therapy and deals with a broad range of aspects that needs to be taken into account for the evolution of population-based drug therapy (BBS 3011) to a tailor-made approach for an individual patient. Pharmacology deals with the effects of biologically active compounds on (patho)physiological processes. The disciplines are subdivided into two general subjects: (1) pharmacodynamics, which assesses the effects o...
