Q: Biology can be complicated, but it is also very interesting if you take a step back to think about what you're studying. Having the right attitude can make it more fun to study. It will still be difficult, but if you're interested in what you're learning, it won't feel like such a burden.  It can be helpful to connect biological concepts to real-world situations. Think about how your body works. How do your muscles work together to allow you to move? How does your brain communicate with those muscles to tell your body to take a step? It's very complex, but all of the cells in your body work together to keep you healthy. Biology teaches you all about these processes and how they work. That's pretty fascinating if you think about it. You might find the vocabulary of biology complicated and difficult to spell. However, most words in this subject come from Latin, and have a prefix and suffix. Knowing the prefixes and suffixes that compose the terms can help you spell difficult words and grasp their meaning.  For example, the word "glucose" can be separated into two parts, "gluc" means sweet, and "-ose" means sugar. As "-ose" means sugar, you know maltose, sucrose, and lactose are sugars as well.  The term "endoplasmic reticulum" seems difficult. However, if you know "endo" means "within/inside," "plasmic" means cytoplasm, and "reti" stands for net, you will know that it is a net-like structure that is found inside the cytoplasm. Flashcards are one of the best ways to learn the meanings of the many words you'll come across in biology. You can carry them around with you and study them at any time. In the car on the way to school is a great time to flip through your flashcards. While the process of making flashcards is a helpful way to study, the cards themselves are only useful if you actually study them as well.  At the beginning of each new unit, identify the vocabulary words that you don't know and make flashcards of them. Study these cards all throughout the unit and by the time the test comes, you will know them all! Sketching a diagram of a biological process can be a simpler way to learn the concept than just reading about it. If you really understand it, you should be able to draw the entire process and label all of the important aspects. Study the diagrams that are in your textbook as well. Read the captions and truly understand what the diagram is representing and how it relates to the concept you are learning.  Many biology courses will start by learning about the cell and the various parts and organelles that makeup the cell. Being able to draw this and label all of the pieces is important. The same goes for many of the cell cycles such as ATP synthesis and the Krebs Cycle. Practice drawing these a few times a week to make sure you have them down before the exam. Biology is not a subject that can be absorbed in the short period of time you are in class. Reading the material before it is covered in class will give you a head start on the concepts and you'll know what is coming up. The text will introduce the topics to you and you will get much more out of class if you come prepared to ask questions based on your reading.   Refer to your syllabus to know what parts of the book to read before class. Take notes on the material and come to class with questions in hand. Understanding biology requires that you have a general understanding of the broad concepts before you can really get into the details. Really master the broad topics before trying to comprehend the details of how they work.  You need to know that proteins are made from the blueprints of DNA before you can understand how the DNA is read and then translated into these proteins. Outlines are a great way to organize your notes from general to specific.
A: Have a positive attitude towards biology. Break down complex words into their roots. Make flashcards for the vocabulary words. Draw and label diagrams. Read the textbook before class. Learn concepts from general to specific.

Article: The months of September, October, and November are some of the most pleasant months in New York City. The sun shines more often than not, but the air becomes cooler and loses its humidity. By November, nights can dip below freezing, while days remain pretty chilly. This means light, long or quarter-sleeve shirts, button-down shirts, and pants. Dark colors blend in and look good at this time of year.   For women: Combine a warmish dress with sweater-tights, boots, and a cute jacket. You can also try combining skinny pants with dark colored shirts, a tight leather jacket, and a scarf.  For men: Fashionable pants in dark colors (maroon, navy, black etc.) are good. Wear them with cool sweaters or plaid shirts for a good NYC fall look. In a city where fashion is a party of its identity, you may consider wearing your most fashionable peacoats or blazers, though you don’t need to bring your absolute warmest jacket. On mornings or in the evenings when temperatures dip considerably, scarves and gloves come in handy. You may also consider bringing a hat.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Know what fall in NYC is like. Pack with the cooler weather in mind. Bring some jackets and sweaters. Gloves and scarves are great for chillier days.

Problem: Article: Tap the Settings app icon, which resembles a grey box with gears on it. This option is near the top of the Settings page. It's at the top of the General page. Doing so opens a list of your iPhone's information. You'll find the "IMEI" heading near the bottom of the About page. The number to the right of the "IMEI" heading is your iPhone's IMEI number, while the number to the right of the "MEID" heading—which can be found a few headings below the "IMEI" heading—is your MEID number.
Summary: Open your iPhone's  Settings. Scroll down and tap  General. Tap About. Scroll down to the "IMEI" section. Review your iPhone's IMEI and MEID numbers.

Q: Allow your hips to naturally follow this motion, but keep both shoulders flat against the top of the Ab Lounge 2.  Think of bringing your rib cage down to the top of your hips, which are still angled to the right. The Ab Lounge exerciser will swing down, bringing you into a jackknife position.
A:
Rotate the toes of both feet so they point about 45 degrees to the right. Drop your left arm to your right hip. Squeeze your abs. Relax back to the starting position and repeat.
