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

B1a Fitness and health 1. You should be thinking about the differences between health and fitness‚ concentrating on the causes and prevention of heart disease‚ which is the most common cause of death in the UK. 2. Have ideas on encouraging a healthy lifestyle e.g. ways to reduce the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure e.g. give up smoking‚ avoid eating high levels of salt and avoid eating high levels of saturated fat. 3. Know that the risk of developing heart disease can be increased

Memory and Biology There are many events in a person’s life that leave an impression or may “change” a person’s perspective or path. From birth to death the mind is recording lessons and adding to the infinite storage space known as memory. Classical conditioning Lives are filled with many lessons; some of these are learned through classical conditioning‚ operant conditioning‚ and behavioral observation. A simple example of classical conditioning would
