other; one cannot be studied in its entirety without the firm understanding of the other. Interactions between chemicals are what make up biological life, which makes up organisms. Organisms are living structures made up of cells that consist of animals, plants, and bacteria. They are biologically engineered yet composed of a multitude of chemical reactions. By examining organisms, their premise of living is based off of their ability to create energy. Chemistry is vital to the understanding of biology

D1: Analyse how system of the body use energy Introduction In this task I will be examining how the different body systems use energy and why the body needs energy. I will also be analysing cellular respiration which is the process in which energy is made, along with the by-products and anabolism and catabolism. Later on in this task I will be analysing how ATP is used in muscle action, protein production and how we as mammals use the energy released as heat. * Fight infections * Movement

of mammals. Relative to other mammals primates have: a longer gestation period, fewer offspring overall, more care given to each individual offspring, infants that are born developmentally advanced, a longer period of parental dependency, a strong bond between mother and child.

a carbon-carbon double bond. Unsaturated fats contain at least on carbon-carbon double bond. The saturated fatty acid chains can stack while the unsaturated fatty acid chains are kinked by the double bond. 2. Saturated fats have a high melting point and are solid at room temperature. Unsaturated fats have a low melting point and are liquid at room temperature due to the fatty acid chains that are not able to stack. 3. Saturated fatty acids are primarily animal based while unsaturated
