Marine Biology is the scientific study of organisms that are dependent on water. Marine Biology is an interesting topic to many people because of the exotic animals you get to work with. A career in Marine Biology can be dangerous because of the wild animals‚ but at the same time it can be fun. It takes time‚ training‚ and intelligence to succeed in the career. In order to make it in this Biology field you must complete a college work in oceanography‚ marine biology‚ or conservation. You will

The Five Themes of Biology Transfer of energy: the movement of energy from one place to another‚ matter can not be created nor destroyed Bioheat transfer: heat transfer in biological systems. How heat moves from one compartment‚ be it within the body or external to the body‚ to another compartment in the body Osmosis: Water moving from high concentration to a low concentration Diffusion: Particles moving from high concentration to a low concentration Unity and Diversity: how things are similar

Biology Vocabulary: 1. Immigration: influx of individuals into an area 2. Emigration: movement of individuals out an area. 3. Logistic growth: (shown with an S-shaped curve) population growth that levels off at carrying capacity. 4. Exponential growth: (shown as J-shaped curve) geometric increase of a population as it grows into an ideal unlimited environment. 5. Niche: the sum total of a species use of the abiotic and biotic resources in its environment 6. Symbiosis: an ecological relationship
