Biology

Biology is an interesting subject. It's one of its own in many ways. It tells you how the whole world; from the air we breathe to the germs on our counters; is made up of molecules and cells that you can't see with the naked eye. Many scientists have dedicated their lives to discovering things and how they work. In November of 1859, Charles Darwin wrote a book called On The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection which was about evolution. Evolution is the process that explains how life on Earth was billions of years ago in relation to now. Peter Agre was another scientist. He made the discovery of aquaporins. This discovery lead him and his partner, Roderick MacKinnon, to get the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2003. An aquaporin is a transport protein in the cell membrane that allows water to pass through to the membrane. These scientists, and every other scientist, has to be very open minded about things and expect anything to happen.
