Q1:Why is reproduction essential for organisms? Reproduction is a fundamental feature of all living organisms. It is a biological process through which living organisms produce offspring’s similar to them. Reproduction ensures the continuance of various species on the Earth. In the absence of reproduction‚ the species will not be able to exist for a long time and may soon get extinct. Q2:Which is a better mode of reproduction sexual or asexual? Why? Sexual reproduction is a better mode of reproduction

Sept 27‚ 2010 Chapter 4 * With four valence electrons‚ carbon can form four covalent bonds with a variety of atoms * This tetra valence makes large‚ complex molecules possible * Fundamental groups: Alkanes and Alkenes * The electron configuration of carbon gives it covalent compatibility with many different elements * The valences of carbon and its most frequent partners (hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ and nitrogen) are the “building code” that governs the architecture of living

C5H4 = 64.093g/mol Summary of process for determining molecular formulas 1) Find the mass of each element present 2) Change mass to moles 3) Find the mole ratio 4) Change to a whole number ratio for the empirical formula 5) Use the molar mass and the empirical formula mass to determine the number

enzyme-catalyzed reaction is called a substrate. The area of the enzyme that binds to the substrate is called the active site - where the action takes place. * Cofactors and coenzymes are small molecules or ions that help enzymes to act. HSC Biology Notes – Hugh Phillips Maintaining a Balance 1.Most organisms are active in a limited temperature range: Identify the role of enzymes in metabolism‚ describe their chemical composition and use a simple model to describe their specificity on substrates:

Biology form 4 – Chapter 5 Mitosis Mitosis is a division of the nucleus to produce two new daughter cells containing chromosomes identical to the parent cell. Significance of mitosis Growth- allows a zygote to produce more cell in order to grow Repair and replacement- allow the multicellular organism maintain its tissues‚ example skin cells and blood Asexual reproduction- clone The cell cycle divided into two major phases a. Interphase b. Mitosis Interphase is the period between division‚ divided
