Patterns and processes of evolution. How evolution and natural selection are reflected in the similarities and differences of organisms. 

Outcomes:

• Design a diet and exercise regimen.
• Estimate the number of calories required for basic survival.
• Estimate the number of calories burned by exercise.
• Explain how heart health depends on diet and exercise.
• Explain how Body Mass Index (BMI) depends on weight and height.

This video explores the histogram: which is one of the ways in which to present data.

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells derive energy from glucose. The chemical reaction for cellular respiration involves glucose and oxygen as inputs, and produces carbon dioxide, water, and energy (ATP) as outputs. There are three stages to cellular respiration: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.

Introduction to passive and active transport

Food webs are models that demonstrate how matter and energy is transferred between producers, consumers, and decomposers as the three groups interact within an ecosystem. Transfers of matter into and out of the physical environment occur at every level. Decomposers recycle nutrients from dead plant or animal matter back to the soil in terrestrial environments or to the water in aquatic environments. The atoms that make up the organisms in an ecosystem are cycled repeatedly between the living and nonliving parts of the ecosystem.

Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. Osmosis helps regulate the flow of water in and out of cells, which is crucial to their function.

By the end of this unit you will be able to:

• Define and use the trigonometric ratios of cosθ, sinθ and tanθ.
• Calculate the trigonometric ratios in each quadrant of the Cartesian plane.
• Calculate the value of expressions containing trigonometric ratios.

Outcomes

By the end of this course you will be able to:

• Define and use the trigonometric ratios of  cosθ,  sinθ, and  tanθ.
• Calculate the value of expressions containing trigonometric ratios with a calculator.
• Calculate the value of expressions containing trigonometric ratios without a calculator.
• Work with trigonometric tables.
• Solve problems in 2 dimensions involving angles of elevation and depression

We can analyse the arrows in a food web to identify producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and decomposers.
