CHAPTER 1 • Economics o Study of how societies manage their scarce resources • Ten Principles of Economics o People face tradeoffs • Making decisions involves trading off one goal for another Example: In order to study properly for a final exam‚ students must give up most of their social life during exams • Societies face the tradeoff between efficiency and equity An efficient society gets the most it can from its scarce resources An equitable society distributes the benefits of its

aerobic respiration in plants and animals e.g. germinating seeds and mealworms Bio Experiment : Comparing Rate of respiration in mealworms at different temperatures? Mealworms are cold-blooded animals and are unable to maintain a constant core temperature‚ hence respiration would therefore change with temperature. As glucose is oxidised‚ oxygen is used up and carbon dioxide and heat energy is produced. Increment in temperature / production of CO2 or O2 consumption would hence be good indicators

Biology coursework The aim of this experiment is to investigate the affect of pH on the enzyme amylase. The amylase is used to break down the polysaccharide starch. Amylase is a digestive enzyme classified as a saccharidase (an enzyme that cleaves polysaccharides). It is mainly a constituent of pancreatic juice and saliva‚ needed for the breakdown of long-chain carbohydrates (such as starch) into smaller units. Amylase is also synthesized in the fruit of many plants during ripening‚ causing them

Biology coursework: Substrate specificity in yeast AIM: To find out which substrate (glucose‚ starch‚ maltose‚ sucrose or lactose)‚ does yeast‚ the organism containing the enzyme‚ breaks down the quickest. Introduction: Usually‚ every enzyme has a specific substrate that is what we call the “lock and key” theory. We can try the reaction of an enzyme with different substrates and this enzyme will just work well with one of those substrates. One type of reaction catalyzed by enzymes is anaerobic respiration

“Should Textbooks Be Replaced By Notebook Computers?” Its believable 100% that the scientific worldview dominates our contemporary consciousness. And thus do kids really need to go to school to learn by textbooks?. For most ancient people it is blindingly obvious that textbooks is the only place where teaching relies upon. And for them it goes without saying that real learning only takes place where there is teaching with the aid of textbooks. Kids need notebook computers for real learning to take

Heredity is the tendency for traits to be passed from parent to offspring. 3. Why did Gregor Mendel choose garden peas to student for his experiments? Mendel chose to work with the garden pea because several of its characteristics made it easy to work with: many varieties were available‚ he knew
