Anna Nordseth Block 3 Biological Warfare During WWII the United States took part in a new method of fighting the enemy: biological warfare. This way of fighting proved to be effective in both monetary cost and the toll taken in human lives.

\Biological Intercations Biological interactions are the effects organisms in a community have on one another. In the natural world no organism exists in absolute isolation‚ and thus every organism must interact with the environment and other organisms. An organism’s interactions with its environment are fundamental to the survival of that organism and the functioning of the ecosystem as a whole. In ecology‚ biological interactions can involve individuals of the same species (intraspecific interactions)

and behavior. Biological psychology explores behavior through genetics‚ evolution and physiological‚ especially through the study of the nervous system. Biological psychology explores biology in an effort to understand behavior. It investigates how human brain connects to the consciousness. In order to understand biological psychology research has been done to gather background information on the history and the importance to how man understands the brain and how it functions.

Biological vs Chemical Pest Control All living things strive to survive‚ but unfortunately the needs of other creatures sometimes conflict with our needs. An example of this conflict is the struggle between pests and humans. Pests are creatures that injure or kill plants or domestic animals‚ transmit disease‚ cause economic damage or are a nuisance in some other way. They eat our food crops or ornamental plants‚ infect plants that are useful to us‚ make us sick by transmitting infectious organisms

AS Biology‚ Biological Molecules Revision Notes Distinguish between monomers and polymers: Monomers- Identical small molecules. Polymers- Chainlike molecules formed from the linking together of many similar. Distinguish between monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ and polysaccharides: Monosaccharides- Simple sugars; sugar molecules may be enantiomers due due to the spatial arrangement of parts around asymmetric carbons; raw material for synthesis of other organic molecules.
