Biology is a wonderful subject that many students enjoy. But as life would have it (no pun intended)‚ this study is not a favorite of the majority of students who pass through the halls of school. Here are a few questions about biology and some answers to them. So why do we study biology? A lot of students trying to get through school stare at the mountain of work this class involves and struggle through. Some rationalize that it’s good to be well rounded in science or just school in general

has a specific history‚ and started in a time where being “colored skin” is considered abnormal. While being white was the norm‚ at that time biology was important and science was influencing the population. Indeed‚ there were‚ are and will be physical differences between people. Yet‚ what is significant about these when it comes to race is not the biology of those differences‚ but the social weight we attach to them. Therefore‚ the race still exists not because it is biological or normal‚ but because

Forensic biology is the application of biology to law enforcement.It includes the subdisciplines of Forensic anthropology‚ Forensic botany‚ Forensic entomology‚ Forensic odontology and various DNA or protein based techniques. Applications Forensic biology has been used to prove a suspect was at a crime scene‚ identify illegal products from endangered species solve crimes by matching crime scene evidence to suspects‚ investigate airplane bird strikes‚ and investigate bird collisions with wind turbines

Fluid Mechanics 3-Aerofoil Lab Report Introduction This report aims to investigate the effect the angle of attack of an aerofoil has on the air flow around it. This was done by recording the lift and drag forces the aerofoil experienced when positioned at different angles of attack. The experimental lift force the aerofoil experienced when positioned at different angles of attack was then compared with theoretical values. An attempt was made to explain any discrepancies

A. Fermentation Lab- The basic process Prepared 3 beakers with contents listed below. ( a. Beaker 1: glucose only b. Beaker 2: Starch only c. Beaker 3: Starch + amylase). Poured contents of each beaker into its respective fermentation tube‚ ensuring the tail portion of the tube was filled with liquid. Placed tubes in an incubator at 37 degrees‚ measuring distance between tip of tube tail to fluid level at 20‚ 40‚ and 60 minute intervals. Calculated gas volume using this distance along with radius

Chemistry plays an important part in studying Biology. It answers some questions that Biology could not explain alone. Questions like: How does an organism convert foods for energy? How do plants use sunlight and water into all the things that cells needed to grow and reproduce? How does the basic unit of life passed through generation to the next? Here are some contributions of Chemistry in Biology: • Within atomic theory‚ chemistry contributes towards biology in the understanding of atoms and elements
