INTRODUCTION: Biology is the study of living organisms. In these 5 chapters your going to learn, you will understand how living organism work and live, atoms, and the climate. You will also be able to learn about biomes and how population grow. You will understand how living organisms depend on each other and how they get their energy. You will also learn about landscape and how animals and plants thrive in those landscapes. Chapter 2 will show you how bacteria and atoms work. You will also learn about enzymes in chapter 2. In chapter 3 you will learn about energy flows, the biosphere, and the levels of organization. In chapter 4 you will learn about the greenhouse effect, community interactions. You will also learn about the ocean and biomes. In chapter 5 you will learn how population grow and the limits of growth. In chapter 6 you will learn about the landscape and the resources.
CHAPTER 2 SUMMARY: In chapter 2, you will learn about atoms, and the properties of atoms. You will be able to learn about electrons, neutrons, and protons. In this chapter, you will also learn about chemical bonds and how molecules are form. Because you will learn about atoms and molecules, you will also be able to learn how these particles make up an organism. After that, you will also be able to learn about water molecules and the pH scale. Furthermore, you will also understand more about compounds and how they are formed. At last (in section 4) you will read about enzymes and chemical reactions. This section will show you how enzymes work and the importance of enzymes.
CHAPTER 3 SUMMARY: In chapter 3, you will learn about the biosphere and relationship between the individual organisms and there ecosystems or biomes. You will also be able to know what and how many steps scientists or biologists use to learn about an ecosystem, biome, or individual. In the next section, you will understand the difference between photosynthesis and chemosynthesis. You will also know how to identify Detritivores or decomposers, heterothrophs or consumers, Herbivores, Carnivores, Omnivores. In this second chapter, you will also learn about the food chain, the food web, and the ecological pyramid. In the last section of this chapter, you will learn about biogeochemical cycles such as the water cycle
CHAPTER 4 SUMMARY: In chapter 4, you will read about the role of the climate. In this section, you will read about the greenhouse effect, the weather, and the climate. You will learn how the Earth is divided into zones. In the next section, you will learn about animals and the relationship between predators and prey and symbiosis relationship. In the third section you will learn about ten different biomes and the characteristics of them. In the last section you will read about aquatic ecosystems and the characteristics of it. You will also learn how scientists classify the ocean and the animals that live in it.
CHAPTER 5 SUMMARY: In chapter 5, you will learn how population grow depending on the birth rate, death rate, and a few other important factors such as resources. In this section, you will learn about the exponential growth, logistic growth, and the carrying capacity. In the next section you will read about limits to growth and factors that will limit growth. You will also learn about density limiting factors in this section. The last section will teach you about human population growth and how to look at graphs and understand about human population in countries. You will also understand why and how scientist use graphs to know about human population in countries.
CHAPTER 6 SUMMARY: In chapter 6, you will learn how humans change the landscape through agriculture and the using of pesticides or other chemicals. In the next section you will be able to differentiate between nonrenewable resources and renewable resources. You will also learn the effects of soil erosion and too much plowing or farming. In this section, you will also read about the problems of deforestation, overfishing, and acid rain. In the third section, you will read about biodiversity and genetic diversity. You will also learn about extinction and the causes that make species endangered. You will also learn about biological magnification, invasive species, and how to conserve resources. In the last section, you will learn about global warming and the importance of the ozone layer.
