[Biology Tips] Visualizing Biology

Hi student,

Welcome to the Biology Tips Daily - give us a minute and we share with you one tip a day.

Biologists are adept at understanding complex relationships of life. How? In part, by composing pictures, graphs, and flow charts to illuminate structures and processes. To make biology real to you and to develop biological sense, try to visualize it through pictures, graphs, and flow charts.

1. "Think pictures": Try to imagine how structures look in three dimensions. For example, when you think about the cell, imagine a series of membranous sacks connected to one another surrounded by a larger membranous sack. In effect that is the endomembrane system, stretching from the nuclear envelope to the cell membrane. As you might imagine through your picture, it is involved in processing stuff in the cell and exporting stuff from the cell, among other functions.

2. "Think graphs": You might be interested in how fast blue whales grow in the Pacific Ocean. A graph could provide key insights this phenomenon.

3. "Think flow charts": Thinking about the large number and the complex relations between cells, tissues, and hormones is challenging. Flow charts are useful tools to help your thinking. To understand the production, release, and delivery of hormones to the tissues, a flow chart outlining the relations and interactions of brain cells, brain hormones, glands and their cells and their hormones and the tissues they target is the only way to go. Try thinking about all these relationships without a chart. It's mind bogglingly difficult.

Start visualizing what you learn and it will all come back to you when you need it.

Until then, stay tuned for more biology tips.
