UNIT 14 The Genetics of Immunity Most human beings survive the effects of constant exposure to pathogenic (disease causing) organisms or viruses, parasites, and environmental insults largely because people are protected by both nonspecific and specific defence mechanisms. Physical defence mechanisms provide critical first-line protection against a variety of dangers, but are of relatively little interest from a genetic standpoint. On the other hand, specific defence mechanisms involve an extre...

UNIT 2 – ENERGY LESSON 1: ENERGY REACTIONS - The primary mechanism used by non-photosynthetic organisms to obtain energy is oxidation and carbon is the most commonly oxidized energy source - The more reduced the carbon atom is, the more energy can be realized from its oxidation - The most reduced form of carbon is on the left and the energy of oxidation is shown above it - Fatty acids are more reduced than overall sugars - Biochemical processes that bre...

UNIT 16 Genetic Technologies and Applications Until the mid-1970s, genetic research concentrated on the proteins produced by genes rather than on DNA and the genes themselves, because it was simpler to analyze and manipulate proteins than DNA or genes. However, technological innovations have spawned an era of biotechnology in which the focus has shifted to DNA. The following innovations have made it easier to manipulate, sequence, and analyze nucleic acids: the discovery and use of restrict...
