Biology - September 2006

I did this experiment in biology and I'm not sure about these questions. Any help would be appreciated and if you get the information off the web I'd also LOVE if you would state the site, thank you!

1) Why are bean plants white when they grow in the dark?
I know it is lack of cloriohile but im not sure on details......

2)Why are the bean plants growing in the dark taller than the ones in the window?

If your just going to tell me to do my own homework I'd like to tell you that I tried but couldnt find anything.

3 patients in an intensive care unit are examined by the resident doctor... one patient has brain damage from a stroke, another had a heart attack and severely damaged his heart muscle, and the third has a severely damaged liver from a crushing injury in a car accident. All three have stabilized and survived, but only one will have full functional recovery through generation. which one and why?

I came across this term in a book, but couldn't find it or anything related to it in any other book. Can someone please help??
The question in the book was:
Specify two conditions in which photorespiration may take place in green plants.

I think photorespiration means -respiration by plants in the presence of sunlight.
Is that right??

This is a question I often discuss with my friends over a pint, and sort of is philosophical as well as about biology. The question is thus:

Do we die because our bodies fail and cannot cope with the strain and duress of continued existence, or is death something our bodies are designed to do?

I know that when for instance, the body is strangled or choking the body reacts by sacrificing cells of less important organs for air to keep a supply reaching the brain. (hence why lips go blue) - this suggests that the body fights against death.

I also know that hormones are released on the point of death, suggesting this is something the body is designed for and a process it has 'within it', like respiration.

So I am unsure and wodnered what people think.

I would prefer to concentrate on the biologoical side of things, as its obvious that people have to die for reasons of population and I am not interested in the theological aspect either.

Thanks in advance

The skeleton of a supposed human ancestor has recently been found and hailed as a child. How can you tell that the skeleton is that of a child. Or, from the other side of the coin, a dwarf ancestor was supposedly found in Indonesia, why was that not described as a child instead?
