I have a biology test tomorrow, isn't that thrilling? Well, no. It's about 'Humans as Organisms'. Anyway I can never remember how during inhaling and exhaling the volume/air pressure changes. Any tips?
Also, biology is my least favourite science. Too planty. Is anybody with my on that, or do you like it?

I prefer chemistry and physics to biology. All science reduces to physics in the end anyway. Chemistry works based on the laws of physics and biology is just a series of chemical reactions.

It does rather make you want to disprove those laws, doesn't it? The fabric of science would crumble!
Another point against biology: What use are chloroplats to me?

Do you mean chloroplasts? Unless you are a plant they are probably no use at all to you (neither is the cell wall and large vacuole as a matter of fact). The cell membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus are probably some use though.

Yes, exactly. So little-y of use that I can't even learn the word correctly. And true, I could well be having great difficulty in functioning if I had no nucleus, cytoplasm or cell membrane. I would tend, for example, to not exist in a physical form.

That could cause some difficulties, the most serious of which would be that you couldn't get on these forums.

Noooo! That should never be allowed to happen!

I don't really like biology. I just thought that there should be a board for people who did like it.

I never said that I didn't like it. I only said that I prefered chemistry and biology.

I like physics. It is easier than biology, and my chemistry teacher is really boring. (he managed to make explosions boring. That's an acheivment in itself.)

I had a really good chemistry teacher. He got me into chemistry. Physics is good as it is the science which is used to explain the universe (with a bit of help from good old maths).

yes. Science and maths go together like stawberries and cream. Deliciously and they're not quite right on their own. (well strawberries are ok, so they can be maths)

I think my favourite is physics, though we have some very boring teachers. One doesn't speak, he drones. On. And on. and on.
Ironically some of the nicest teachers at my school teach biology.

Ours teachphysics. One of the biology teachers didn't teach us anything. We were learning new stuff when the other teacher was going through the biology stuff for exam revision

Also, biology is my least favourite science. Too planty. Is anybody with my on that, or do you like it? Yes, but it's not because it's planty. It just seems so slow. And I can never get microscopes to work right. Is there much maths in biology? I don't think there is.
