q.explain the term valency and provide 1 example using any element.
valency or charages on ions come from the number of electrons lost or gained in order to obtain a complete outer shell. example - calcium in group II loses two electrons and has a 2+ charage.

Plate tectonics.

My Question: Name an animal or plant and outline how it has adapted to it's environment.
English Pepper Moths were originally white. When industrialisation occured, the trees became polluted with carbon and turned black instead of being their original white bark colour. The rare, black moths (formed from natural mutations) survived as they better camouflaged on the trees and were eaten less by birds, whereas the white moths didnt camoflague anymore and were eaten. Thus, the moth population bred in black moths, and thus the moths had successfully adapted to the changing environment.

This sounds like a stupid story, but its a true example (u would be able to find it easily on the net or in textbooks).

These questions are too fuckin easy kids.

My Question: Explain the role of T cells in formation of acquired immunity. lol jk. i love takin the piss out of the school certificate. Too easy compared to hsc exams.

Actual Question: outline the ethical issues associated with genetically modified food. ( i think that is in ur year 9 course).

V=IR.. as voltage increases, current increases proportionally (if resistance is constant)

q.name the evidence for evolution
Charles darwin and the Theory of evolution; natural selection. Natural selection is the process by which heritable traits that make it more likely for an organism to survive and successfully reproduce become more common in a population over successive generations. It is a key mechanism of evolution.

Mutation
Gene flow
Genetic Drift
Adaptation... and yeah
