The Discovery of Biological Taxonomy Taxonomy is the scientific classification of living organisms. It is known that two main naturalists were responsible for discovering and founding this classification method‚ John Ray and Carl Linnaeus. Biological Taxonomy has a hierarchy of seven main ranks; Kingdom‚ Phylum (Division if it is Botany)‚ Class‚ Order‚ Family‚ Genus and Species. These classify every living thing from Animals to Bacteria. Some of the classification system is written English

Detection of Biological Molecules Introduction: Without carbon‚ nitrogen‚ hydrogen‚ sulfur‚ oxygen and phosphorus‚ life wouldn’t exist. These are the most abundant elements in living organisms. These elements are held together by covalent bonds‚ ionic bonds‚ hydrogen bonds‚ and disulfide bonds. Covalent bonds are especially strong‚ thus‚ are present in monomers‚ the building blocks of life. These monomers combine to make polymers‚ which is a long chain of monomers strung together. Biological molecules

Describe two biological therapies for schizophrenia and then evaluate each in terms of effectiveness (8 + 16 marks): One biological therapy is the use of typical anti-psychotic drugs‚ such as Chlorpromazine. The main aim of this drug is to treat schizophrenia by reducing the amount of dopamine in the brain. This is because high levels of dopamine are thought to cause schizophrenia‚ therefore by reducing the amount of dopamine‚ the symptoms of schizophrenia should reduce. Typical anti-psychotic drugs

Task: Discuss two or more biological explanations for the development of schizophrenia. One biological explanation for schizophrenia is genetics. This theory states that a person’s genes determine whether they develop schizophrenia or not. Family studies‚ twin studies and adoption studies have explored the roles of genes in the development of sz. Gottesman conducted a family study and he identified that the closer someone is genetically to a person with sz‚ the more likely to develop sz. For example

“When discussing the theories on personalities you could name a view that are researched. Biological Theories are the approach of genetics and personality traits. Behavioral Theories suggest that personality is a result of interaction between the individual and the environment. These theorist reject theories that internal thoughts and feeling into account. Psychodynamic Theories are influenced by Freud‚ focuses on the childhood experience and the unconscious mind in personality. Humanist Theories

Outline principles that define the biological level of analysis (for example‚ patterns of behavior can be inherited; animal research may inform our understanding of human behavior; cognitions‚ emotions and behaviors are products of the anatomy and physiology of our nervous and endocrine systems). Introduction: Two principles that define the biological level of analysis are that patterns of behavior can be inherited and that animal research may inform our understanding of human behavior.

Biological diagnoses are the product of technological‚ political‚ and cultural contexts that makes up sociocultural products. Furthermore‚ biological diagnoses creates new realities and ways of being for the patient who has been diagnosed with said disease/illness. An example of a biological diagnoses that demonstrates that it is a sociocultural product and that it shapes new realities would be celiac disease. Celiac disease is an immune reaction to eating gluten‚ a protein found in wheat‚ barley

Campbell’s Biology‚ 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 5 The Structure and Function of Large Biological Molecules In Chapter 5‚ the principles of chemistry covered in earlier chapters are applied to the understanding of biological polymers and lipid membranes. The emphasis is on properly linking monomers and their polymers‚ and on the structural and functional diversity of the different polymer types. Particular attention is given to protein structure‚ because this is central to understanding subsequent

The Biological Importance of Water for Living Organisms Water is made up of two elements‚ 2 positively charged hydrogen molecules and one negatively charged oxygen molecule. Water molecules have uneven charge distribution as one end of the molecule is slightly positive and the other slightly negative‚ this is called polar. Ionic substances such as sodium chloride dissolve easily in water because the positively and negatively charged ions are separated due to the dipole nature of water. As water
