Science
Small container - lesser volume, higher pressure
Big container - greater volume, lower pressure
Gas units - Atm, torr, N/m2, pa, mmHg, psi
Air can still be pumped inside a balloon even though it is already inflated since gas is -compressible
Boyle’s Law - volume of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure (inversely proportional)
Charles’ Law - volume occupied by a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, if the pressure remains constant

Elements which are common on all types of biomolecules - carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
Main source of energy - carbohydrates
Carbohydrate - Glucose
Condensation reaction / condensation - process of joining two monosaccharides to form a disaccharide
Amino acids - are building blocks of the biomolecule, protein
Enzymes - proteins that act as biological catalysts
DNA and RNA - two kinds of nucleic acids
