BIOLOGY TEST NOTES Biology is the study of life Living organisms share a set of characteristics that collectively set them apart from non-living matter Living organisms use molecules that contain instructions for building other molecules Living organisms gather energy and materias from their surrounding to: Build new biological molecules Grow in size Repair their parts Produce offspring All organisms are composed of the same macromolecules (proteins‚ fatty acids/lipids‚ carbs and nucleic

CHAPTER 13 – HYPERTENSION Hypertension also known as high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease (CVD) occurs when the blood travels through the vessels in excess. Cardio output is too high and this puts pressure on the arterial walls or peripheral resistance occurs due to a narrowing of arteries. It is a serious medical problem yet most are not aware they have it due to the lack of symptoms. For this reason‚ it is known as a silent killer. It is a risk factor for other diseases such as heart

Among the benefits that might be handled by the HR department are insurance plans‚ paid vacations‚ paid leave for illnesses and other health matters‚ pension plans and employee investments. The HR department also might settle

Seven characteristics of life In life‚ there are seven different characteristics these being; movement‚ excretion‚ respiration‚ reproduction‚ irritability‚ nutrition and growth. Below‚ I will explain each of the characteristics in detail. Reproduction means; “the production of offspring by a sexual or asexual process” (oxford concise colour medical dictionary‚ 2007). Animals and plants do this in different ways‚ animals need two parents‚ and therefore the offspring will share both of the parent’s

Analysis of Algorithms 07/29/13 CS202 - Fundamentals of Computer Science II 1 Algorithm • An algorithm is a set of instructions to be followed to solve a problem. – There can be more than one solution (more than one algorithm) to solve a given problem. – An algorithm can be implemented using different prog. languages on different platforms. • Once we have a correct algorithm for the problem‚ we have to determine the efficiency of that algorithm. – – How much time that algorithm
