Basic Scientific Concepts Organic vs. Inorganic: The primary difference between organic compounds and inorganic compounds is that organic compounds always contain carbon while most inorganic compounds do not. Also, all organic compounds contain carbon, hydrogen or C-H bonds. Ex. of Organic Compounds: Nucleic Acids, Fats, Sugars, Proteins, Enzymes, Fuels, DNA, and Methane CH4 Ex. of Inorganic Compounds: Salts, Metals, Table Salt and Carbon Dioxide Gene: A unit of heredity; a segment of DNA nucleus of the cell that contains information for the synthesis of a specific protein. Ex: Enzymes Gene pool: Combined genetic information, such as alleles, of all the members of a particular population.

August 2013 Chapter 22 Descent with Modification A Darwinian View of Life Darwin introduces a new theory Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection on November 24, 1859 It focused on the diversity of organisms Their origins and relationships Their similarities and differences Their geographic distribution Adaptation to surrounding environments Presented evidence that many species from earth are descendants of ancestral species that were different from the modern species Proposed a mechanism for this process, which name is Natural Selection Natural Selection is that a population can change over generations, leaving heritable traits to their breeds, this population can get a lot of changes that can eventually form to a new specie

August 2013 Chapter 23 The Evolution of Populations 23.1 Population genetics provides a foundation for studying evolution Darwin and Mendel were contemporaries of the 19th century At the time both were unappreciated for their work Microevolution ? the generation-to-generation change in the population?s frequencies on alleles The Modern Synthesis The turning point for revolutionary theory was the development of population genetics Population Genetics ? Study on how a population changes over time Emphasizes genetic variation and recognizes the importance of quantitative characters Gene Pools and Allele Frequencies A population?s gene pool is defined by it?s allele frequencies (quantity of alleles in a population) Population ? a group of organism that belong to the same species

Lesson Overview 3.3 Energy Flow in Ecosystems Lesson Overview Energy Flow in Ecosystems THINK ABOUT IT What happens to energy stored in body tissues when one organism eats another? Energy moves from the ?eaten? to the ?eater.? Where it goes from there depends on who eats whom! Lesson Overview Energy Flow in Ecosystems Food Chains and Food Webs How does energy flow through ecosystems? Energy flows through an ecosystem in a one-way stream, from primary producers to various consumers. Lesson Overview Energy Flow in Ecosystems Food Chains A food chain is a series of steps in which organisms transfer energy by eating and being eaten. Food chains can vary in length. An example from the Everglades is shown. Lesson Overview Energy Flow in Ecosystems Food Chains

Bio I Unit 7: Ecology Name KEY 3.1 What Is Ecology? Studying Our Living Planet 1. What is ecology? It is the scientific study of interactions among organisms and between organism and their environment. 2. What does the biosphere contain? It contains all the organisms and physical environments of the Earth. 3. How are human economics and ecology linked? Economics has to do with human ?houses? and interactions based on money and trade. Ecological interactions have to do with nature?s ?houses? and are based on energy and nutrients. Humans depend on ecological processes to provide nutrients that can be bought or traded. 4. Label each level of organization on the diagram.

Ch. 2 Neuroscience and behavior 10 Everything psychological is simultaneously biological. It?s your brain not your heart that falls in love. (Discredited Aristotle mind in heart) Early 1800s Gall invented phrenology that bumps on head reveal our mental abilities. Biological Psychology- a branch of psychology concerned with the links btw biology and behavior. Sect. 1 Neural Communication Bio-psycho-social systems. Human brains are complex they follow principles govern all the animal world.

Alexandra Odinlo IB Chemistry 1 August 26, 2013 Science and Human Nutrition Human Digestion Digestion?is the process of breaking down the foods that we eat into forms of energy that the body can use as energy. The Digestive process is one that involves the body?s biological mechanical works as well as chemical means to breakdown nutrients from different types of foods. Mechanical digestion?begins the digestion process. In your mouth as your teeth begin to mash food into smaller pieces to allow you to swallow them. Soon after saliva in your mouth bring about the chemical changes to your food. Chemical and mechanical parts of digestion work hand in hand toward the goal of providing nourishment for your body.

North Korea Today North Korea is the epitome of modern day slavery. As a result of the work of Kim Il-sung, no citizen of North Korea will ever taste the freedom that many others have laid their lives down for. Theirs is a government so corrupt that citizens live in fear of challenging it and so unforgiving that children must be brainwashed from birth for their own survival.
