Hi cmp,

You know we are not really here to help with homework but i will give you some advice on what i think. To be honest I am now sure exactly what your teacher wants on this except maybe to think outside the box a bit. If I were you I would start out by going and reading my notes on all of the topics listed - check wikipedia if its not something you covered in class or in your text book. Write a short paragraph on each of the things on the list. Then think about what kinds of things you have been studying in class and if you can put all of these items and processes into a story. Can you relate them all to an organism? or a cell? or a process? or molecules? or energy transfer? I am sure you can come up with something even if a few things on the list are linked a bit more tenuously than others. Just have a go. I think your teacher mostly wants to know if you understad all the things on the list and can think creatively. So have a go and try not to be phased about not having more instructions on the topic.

Best of luck,
Caroline
