Core Functions of Organic Molecules
Plants require organic molecules for two primary functions:
- To obtain the energy required for vital functions.
- To increase size, develop, and form new organs.
Autotrophic Organisms
In addition to plants, other organisms are autotrophs, including many protists, Monera, and algae.
Phases of Plant Nutrition
Plant nutrition involves two main parts:
- Organic Synthesis (Photosynthesis): The process by which light energy is transformed into chemical energy, converting inorganic

Genetic Modification and Uses of Transgenic Animals
Understanding Transgenic Animals
Transgenic animals are animals with a modified genome. A foreign gene is inserted into the animal’s genome to alter its DNA. This method is performed to improve the genetic traits of the target animal.
Initially, the improvement of genetic traits was achieved through selective breeding methods. In this process, animals with desired genetic characteristics were mated to produce offspring with improved traits. Since this technique was time-consuming and expensive, it

Christian Perspectives on Sexuality and Ethics
Hopes and Challenges in Tradition
Christians long to move from guilt to gratitude, receiving sexuality as a good gift grounded in creation and the Incarnation (our bodies aren’t barriers to grace); to live an incarnational faith that meets God through embodied life; and to join pleasure with commitment, where mutual delight, fidelity, and fruitfulness mature love within the community’s lived wisdom.

Canadian Charter of Rights: Application and Limitations
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees certain basic rights and freedoms. It limits the law-making power of legislatures and the decision-making powers of courts. In some cases, it can be used to prevent abuse and unfairness in administrative actions and delegated law-making.
Courts can use the Charter to:
- Strike down or amend statutes that violate Charter rights.
- Invalidate a statutory provision that weakens fairness protections.

The UK’s FPTP System: Pros, Cons, and Its Future
The UK’s First-Past-the-Post System
The First-Past-the-Post (FPTP) electoral system is used in UK general elections. FPTP is a simple plurality system where, in each constituency, the candidate with the most votes wins. The party that wins the most seats nationwide typically forms the government. While this system has its supporters, increasing evidence suggests it is often criticized and branded as unfit for purpose in the 21st century due to significant changes in the political landscape and electorate.

The Early Middle Ages (600–1000 C.E.)
Setting the Scene: Europe After Rome
Waves of invaders swept across Europe starting around 600 C.E. Trade slowed to a trickle, towns emptied, and learning virtually ceased. Europe was a relatively backward region, largely cut off from advanced civilizations in the Middle East, China, and India. Slowly, though, a new European civilization would emerge that blended Greco-Roman, Germanic, and Christian traditions. This era is known as medieval civilization.

Diversity and Success of Arthropods
The most successful animals on the planet are the arthropods. They live on land, in the sea, and in the air, making up over three-fourths of all currently known living and fossil organisms—over 1 million species in all.
Arthropods exhibit a vast distribution, ranging from the deep sea to mountain peaks, and vary greatly in size, from the king crab with its 12-foot armspan to microscopic insects and crustaceans.
