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 that govern all study and research‚ consolidating it into single‚ coherent field. In general‚ biology recognizes the cell as the basic unit

Biology – HSC Online Extract from Biology Stage 6 Syllabus (Amended October 2002) © Board of Studies‚ NSW 9.2 Maintaining a balance: 1. Temperature range Background: All organisms are adapted to a particular environment with its characteristic temperature range. The temperature range allows the organism’s enzymes to control its metabolism by operating at their optimum efficiency within this range. Some organisms are adapted to live at high temperatures (80 - 100oC) and these are called thermophiles

In the book of biology of Mrtinez and Nazareno‚ there are nine characteristics of life just said and those are : a. Living things are highly organized and contain many complex chemical substances ; b. Living things are made up of one or more cells‚ which are

It is not only something that can kill you but also can put a strain on you and your family financially‚ emotionally‚ and medically. Lung cancer is formed when the cells of the lungs grow in an uncontrolled way‚ this creates a lump or a tumor which can either be malignant (cancerous) or benign (not cancerous). Radon gases‚ smoking‚ and second hand smoke cause lung

Experiments investigating the effect of a particular factor on an enzyme-catalysed reaction are commonly used as assessed practicals in Biology. The reason for this is there are a number of factors that can be investigated‚ and therefore‚ a number of factors that can also be controlled. From our lecture‚ we are aware that the following can affect the rate of reaction: 1) Temperature: a. Independent variable: A range of temperatures should be investigated‚ with particular attention
