Biology - November 2006

My lecturer gave me a mini-assignment on describing the possible characteristics of posthumans in the distant future. Here are my ideas:
1. Sexual dimorphism becomes more apparent, but their difference in social roles instead becomes less.
2. They get taller but less robust.
3. They are highly intelligent, typically able to solve complex mathemtical problems all in their minds subconsciously while they are doing something else like driving or cooking.
4. They become un-emotional in their reasoning. Vulcan-like.
5. They live in a community but prefer solitude whenever possible.
6. They converse with each other but prefer to be silent and engage in monologues whenever they can.
7. The gradual shift from fertility to survivability means that they live very long lives but have very little children.
8. Their sexual organs tend to be geared more for pleasure, not reproduction.
9. Capable of ESP, telekenesis, etc.

Is it plausible?I don't want to lose marks here. Please help me

I know glycolysis occurs in the cell membrane and may take place with or without oxygen it initially takes place in the cell membrane and continues into the cytoplasm. The result is the gain of two atp and the end product pyruvate.

The krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondria it produces the most enery

is this correct? I'm confused about:
What are the starting molecules of every cycle of respiration and the end products?

b. Design a quantitative experiment to investigate the influence of pH or temperature
on the activity of an enzyme.
c. Describe what information concerning the structure of an enzyme could be inferred
from your experiment.

Is this true? I can't find any evidence to back it up. Is it just some crap people are spouting to make the similarity between human and chimpanzee genes seem irrelevant?

might understand. Sort of like an experiment.

The chimera is an animal made of several different animals - the body of a goat, the tail of a snake and the head of a lion. With advances in genetics and cloning, is it possible to create a creature made of sets of cells containing different DNA? If so has any such creature or person ever been recorded?

Looking for a nickname for one of those skeletons that hangs up in a science class. Needs to be appropriate for all age groups. Something other than Dr. Bones....

I have heard that the price of staying alive, breathing, actually kills you at the same time! How can that be? Something that is essential to make one live is actually a toxin too? How is that possible?

If some 'privileged group of people had access to you inner thoughts, you inner monologue, via a computer(it is possible with today's tech), and tried to take over your thoughts by speaking to you 24/7, what would you do.
If this group of people ( f...ers in my mind) could create auditory hallucinations in your head via a computer, binary code is pretty much phiysiological creations when developed to the right level, what would you do.

Seriously thin kabout this one, dont call me a crock,
IF u do your void of serious research on this topic.

I hope serious minds reply, oh my gosh I hope you do.

A computer to brain link, just think about it, cause you have to, I'm letting you know, you'll calll me a worthless though, but then you would be. Cause I'm serious, I've researched harvard, MIT, and all the biggies, their minds are doing this via our NSA'a own technology, which they have a foot in.
Let me know what you think seriopusly.

I remember a chart like this in my old science class that was so long ago. Do you know the name of the chart or a website where I could find out the percentages of what eye color a child I have with my boyfriend would be? I thought it would be interesting to find out.

My eyes are dark brown and so are my mom and dads.
His are light blue, his moms are brown and his dads are green.
