Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms‚ including their structure‚ function‚ growth‚ evolution‚ distribution‚ and taxonomy.[1] Modern biology is a vast and eclectic field‚ composed of many branches and subdisciplines. However‚ despite the broad scope of biology‚ there are certain general and unifying concepts within it which govern all study and research‚ consolidating it into single‚ coherent field. Biology generally recognizes the cell as the basic unit

vital resources. Energy deficiencies are not only detrimental to individual organisms; they also can cause disruptions at the population and ecosystem levels. Biological systems must both capture free energy and then transform the energy into usable forms. Autotrophic cells capture free energy through photosynthesis and chemosynthesis. Photosynthesis traps free energy present in sunlight that‚ in turn‚ is used to produce carbohydrates from carbon dioxide. Chemosynthesis captures energy present in inorganic

January 31‚ 2014 Mr. Robinson IB Biology I 2ND Period The Effects of Light on Plant Growth Introduction: Photosynthesis is the process in which plants use light energy‚ water‚ and carbon dioxide to produce food. Plants use the food they make for the growth and for the carrying out other life processes. Sunlight is the natural energy source for photosynthesis. White light form the sun is a mixture of all the colors of the light spectrum: red‚ orange‚ yellow‚ green‚ blue‚ and violet. Light
