1.) What is Biology? Biology is the science of life. Biologists study the structure‚ function‚ growth‚ origin‚ evolution and distribution of living organisms. There are generally considered to be at least nine “umbrella” fields of biology‚ each of which consists of multiple subfields. 2.) What are the branches of Biology? Describe each. Biochemistry: the study of the material substances that make up living things Botany: the study of plants‚ including agriculture Cellular biology: the study of the

Acid Rain Done By: Francis Lolas Teacher: Christine Due Date: 19/9/2012 Grade: 10 MYP 5 A There are many possible solutions to the problem that we are facing nowadays that is Acid Rain. Acid rain is formed from two main gases that are released in the atmosphere which are sulphur oxide and nitrogen oxide. I will talk later about the solutions for acid rain and the effect of this rain and what are the two forms of acid deposition. I have also watched some videos about acid

Structural Isomers • molecules with the same molecular formula but with different arrangements of atoms • differences in the shape of isomers lead to differences in their physical & chemical properties • For example‚ galactose‚ glucose and fructose have the same molecular formula (C₆H₁₂O₆) but different structures (figure 6 page 30) • glucose itself has 3 different structural isomers in dry state‚ glucose has a linear structure‚ but when dissolved in water‚ the molecules fold on itself
