Introduction Last week‚ my Biology class and I went down to the Port Kembla Rock Platform. While we were there we surveyed five different sectors about the rock platform and recorded them‚ these included: 1. Surveying the abiotic characteristics of the rock platform 2. Observing the abundance and distribution of the Black Periwinkle (Nerita Atramentosa) 3. Observing the feeding relationships and food webs of the organisms 4. Finding the adaption’s of organisms 5. And Observing the human impacts

Biology- Maintaining a Balance Summary 1. Most organisms are active in a limited temperature range 1. identify the role of enzymes in metabolism‚ describe their chemical composition and use a simple model to describe their specificity on substrates Enzymes are proteins which act as catalysts in living things (they lower the amount of energy needed for a reaction‚ therefore increasing rate of reaction). Enzymes speed up reactions but are not used up by them. Enzymes catalyze only one

HSC Physics Space 1. The Earth has a gravitational field that exerts a force on objects both on it and around it Define weight as the force on an object due to a gravitational field Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object‚ it is measured in kilograms (kg). The weight of an object is a measure of the force with which it is attracted by a gravitational force‚ it is measured in Newtons (N). It is directly related to the strength of the gravitational field at a point where the object
