small animals and others who work with large animals. As for me‚ I would like to treat small animals. I am confident that one day I will be saving as many animals and pets as possible. But for that‚ first I must go to college and get a major in biology. Veterinarians prevent and and treat illnesses and injuries in animals. They might specialize in a type of veterinary medicine‚ such as surgery‚ or a group of animals. Their responsibility consist of diagnosing patients‚ prescribing medicine‚ performing

Big Idea 2 Biological systems utilize free energy and molecular building blocks to grow‚ to reproduce and to maintain dynamic homeostasis. Living systems require both free energy and matter to maintain order‚ grow and reproduce. Organisms employ various strategies to capture‚ use and store free energy and other 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

Introduction General Biology:- Biology as a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms‚ including their structure‚ function‚ growth‚ origin‚ evolution‚ distribution‚ and taxonomy. It is a vast subject containing many subdivisions‚ topics‚ and disciplines. Among the most important topics as contained in Biology are five unifying principles that can be said to be the fundamental axioms of modern biology:- 1) Cells are the basic unit

Biology Exam Review Unit One – Biochemistry What is an isotope? Isotope - An isotope is all atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons‚ but they may have different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus. - This means that all atoms with the same atomic number can have different atomic masses. - Because they have the same number of protons and electrons‚ they behave exactly the same in chemical reactions. Radioisotope - The nuclei of some isotopes of an element are unstable

curiosity and love for the subject grew as I read his books and watched documentaries‚ such as Planet Earth. I am particularly interested in the animal behaviour aspect of the course‚ along with biodiversity and taxonomy‚ which I have covered in A-level biology. A personal interest in conservation resulted in my joining WWF. I am also a member of one of the top zoos in the UK‚ Chester Zoo where I am a regular visitor. This is not only a leisure activity but has become a way to further develop my interest

the study of the universe beyond the earth. The earth science that involves the study of structure and composition of the earth includes different branches such as geology‚ oceanography‚ meteorology‚ paleontology‚ etc. Life science is also known as biology‚ which deals with the study of evolution‚ development‚ distribution‚ structure‚ origin and function of the living things. It is categorized into different branches such as botany‚ genetics‚ zoology‚ medicine‚ etc. The mathematical science involves

1. Why do I want to be a Wildlife Biologist? Well after many years of living in the country and being a boy‚ I was always outside doing something. Me and my best friend from the age of about five were always on are four wheelers riding around in the field‚ going fishing‚ or going “hunting”. During furbearer season I always would try to trap on a ranch in front of our house or on a guys land down the road. When it rained you could always bet that I would be in the back of the field at a little mudhole
