Biology Exercises

Biology-ExercisesThose who advocate exercising on an empty stomach say that it helps the body go after their fat stores faster. During sleep, our body uses glycogen, our storage form of carbohydrates, to maintain blood sugar levels. According to morning exercise advocates, when we wake up, our carbohydrate reserve is running on empty, which in turn, makes it more likely that our body will start burning fat. Some also say that eating carbs in the morning stimulates release of the hormone insulin, which facilitates fat storage. Because most people wake up in the morning, empty stomach exercise supporters are many of the same people who advocate morning exercise as well.

Seeking for biology help? The old-school style of learning is to go to the lectures and read the textbook, slowly. If you are tire of the dry lectures and static textbook, need biology help, then the old-school teaching is not working for you.

The new way of learning is via rich-media. Biology is a visual science. You best learn it visually. With rich-media via visualization, animation and illustration, coupling expert narration, this can give you the biology help powerfully.

Biological origins Part 4

What could be the solution–we have talked about this before in a different context, in the context of technologies–but here I would like to focus on the biological origins, what could be done to clear things at least for Muslims? First, how can we have a critique of modern science in general, but specifically modern biology since we are talking about biology, and secondly, how can we make an effort that would bring together scientists and religious thinkers and produce a generation of Muslim thinkers who understand science and Islam in the sense in which you are talking about?
That will not happen unless what is called science today is, first of all, mastered and then integrated into the Islamic worldview. Western science carries with it philosophical and ideological baggage of which most scientists are not aware, especially Muslim scientists, and that is the great problem. Science becomes scientism, as has happened not only in the West but also in so much of the Islamic world–and we have discussed this issue together. I think that scientism is one of the great illnesses of the Islamic world today.

Before answering you let me say a few words about the paleontological evidence that is usually marshalled to prove evolution. This record does not prove evolution at all. All of the skull shapes whose pictures are usually shown in the books of biology taught in schools to demonstrate the truth of evolutionary theory, from monkeys to intermediate states, to man and so on, nearly all of these skull sizes can be found among human beings in any large city, all of whom have two legs, and if they kill somebody they go to prison and are responsible before the law. They are variants of a single species. Somebody once said that in a big city like New York one can find all of those different size skulls seen in high school books of biology to

So, is there no possibility of any kind of evolutionary process which would transform one species into another?

There is the possibility of micro-evolution, but not of macro-evolution. Now micro-evolution is still within the possibilities of the archetype or form of a particular being in the philosophical sense in the same way that you and I are human beings, and the Chinese and the Japanese are also human beings. Our eyes are one way; their eyes are another way. If we migrate to Zimbabwe, our skin grows darker; if we go to Sweden, it would grow a bit lighter. But we are all within the possibilities of the human form.

Bismi’ Llahir-Rahmanir-Rahim (In the Name of Allah, the most Gracious, the Most Merciful).
There are two basic issues involved in the question of biological origins: the origin of life as such, and the special form of life that we call human life. In biological sciences, a huge amount of data has been gathered over the last two centuries which has been interpreted from various perspectives, the dominant view being the evolutionary process which stipulates that life originated in small-cell form and then became complex through random processes in which only the fittest forms survived. Some theists have inserted God into this process to develop a form of evolution which is often called theistic evolution. And there are a lot of Muslim scholars who also subscribe to this idea of theistic evolution. Of course no Muslim would say there is no Hand of God involved, but they put the Hand of God into a form of Darwinian process, generating a great deal of confusion.

Conservation Biology

Fundamentals of conservation biology is exactly what its title advertises – an introductory text that guides undergraduate students through the major topics in the field. The text is divided into four sections – description of biodiversity (four chapters), threats to (five chapters) and maintenance of (four chapters) biodiversity, and finally, the socio-economics and politics of conservation (three chapters). The first chapter provides a brief history of the development of modern-day conservation biology and its historical roots. From the start we are drawn into Hunter’s comfortable writing style that flows easily and effortlessly from one topic to the next. Basic theories are presented, but these are done largely verbally and only occasionally in equations or graphs. Hunter makes good use of box insets to expand on particular methodologies, theories, or case studies. In addition, most chapters end with a specific application; many of these tell conservation success stories or at the least after painting the specific crisis situation, he ends with an optimistic and hopeful tone. The complexities of nature led David Ehrenfeld to claim that there will be no shorthand book to conservation (1989. Hard times for diversity, pp. 247-250 in David Western and Mary Pearl, eds. Conservation for the twenty-first century. Oxford University Press). Hunter does not offer one here. Throughout the text Hunter identifies where basic principles are not generally supported by empirical data. Nonetheless, his own opinions of these theories, or other controversial issues often emerge from the text. Students are challenged at the end of each chapter with a series of discussion questions – questions to which there invariably are no simple or “right” answers.

Caughley and Gunn discuss the conservation and ecology of species in 13 chapters in Conservation biology in theory and practice. Although some chapters parallel those found in Hunter (e.g., extinctions, design of nature reserves), Caughley and Dunn approach their topic quite differently. Perhaps in response to the criticism that conservation biology is not a hard science, the first chapter is devoted to describing the scientific process and stressing the importance of hypothesis testing and experimental design. The examples in this chapter provide a common thread to the book as they are revisited in later sections on population demography, loss of genetic variation, population viability analyses, in situ and ex situ recovery methods, reserve design,

Biology literally means “the study of life”. Biology is such a broad field, covering the minute workings of chemical machines inside our cells, to broad scale concepts of ecosystems and global climate change. Biologists study intimate details of the human brain, the composition of our genes, and even the functioning of our reproductive system. Biologists recently all but completed the deciphering of the human genome, the sequence of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) bases that may determine much of our innate capabilities and predispositions to certain forms of behavior and illnesses. DNA sequences have played major roles in criminal cases (O.J. Simpson, as well as the reversal of death penalties for many wrongfully convicted individuals), as well as the impeachment of President Clinton (the stain at least did not lie). We are bombarded with headlines about possible health risks from favorite foods (Chinese, Mexican, hamburgers, etc.) as well as the potential benefits of eating other foods such as cooked tomatoes. Informercials tout the benefits of metabolism-adjusting drugs for weight loss. Many Americans are turning to herbal remedies to ease arthritis pain, improve memory, as well as improve our moods.

Homeschool Biology Courses

Teaching biology to your homeschool student can be a lot of fun; however, some parents do not enjoy the subject and the upper grades can be a bit more challenging. If you are the latter, there are many good options for teaching your child homeschool biology.
Drawbacks and benefits of a computer-based biology course
Benefits:
No planning involved and easy for the busy/working parent.
Most are self-grading.
Usually includes a visually-appealing multimedia component.
Self-directed and gives the student a sense of autonomy.
Drawbacks:
If many textbook selections are included in the course, it can be a bit tedious reading from the computer screen.
May not be a good choice for a kinesthetic learner or a child with a lot of energy. A sampling of biology course options: (Biology course are usually only available at the high school level and the elementary grade biology is included in more general science classes).
Switched On Schoolhouse: This program is on cd-roms and involves a combination of on- and off-computer assignments including experiments. Grades 3-9 observe each area of science on an individual survey basis, usually unit by unit. Grades 10-12 focus on specific areas of science: Life Science (Plants and Animals, Human Anatomy and Personal Care, Biology), Space and Earth Science (Geology, Weather, Space), Physical Science (Chemistry, Physics), Nature of Science (Scientific Method, Experimentation, Technology).
E-Tutor: This program offers independent and guided programs (with the guided program, they assign the student a certified tutor). Single courses are available.
K12: K12 offers a public school option (free in some states) and a private school option. They use a mix of internet courses and traditional textbook courses. It is a rigorous program but they offer many options to the homeschooler, including individual highschool courses. K12 is a well-done high-quality program, but is not for parents who prefer a more gentle Charlotte Mason type method.
Keystone Highschool: Keystone Highschool offers a full highschool program as well as individual courses. Their curriculum is more in line with a traditional public school.
