Ecological systems
The spheres
Biosphere
Includes all the planets living things, animals, plants, bacteria, fungi,
Geosphere
-
Includes all of the hard solid land of the planet's crust (surface), the semi-solid land underneath the crust, and the liquid land near the center of the planet
-
Hydrosphere
Includes all the solid, liquid, and gaseous water on earth
It ranges from 10 to 20 kilometers in thickness. The hydrosphere extends from Earth's surface downward several kilometers into the lithosphere and upward about 12 kilometers into the atmosphere
-
Water near the poles is very cold while water near the equator is very warm. The differences in temperature cause water to change physical states. Extremely low temperatures like those found at the poles cause water to freeze into a solid such as a polar icecap, a glacier, or an iceberg. Extremely high temperatures like those found at the equator cause water to evaporate into a gas.

-
Nitrogen cycle
the series of processes by which nitrogen and its compounds are interconverted in the environment and in living organisms, including nitrogen fixation and decomposition.
-
Water cycle
Evaporation
Condensation
-
condensation is the process of water vapor turning into liquid water droplets which is when we begin to see clouds
Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis
the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water.

parts of the plant
Stomata
- are small pores in plant leaves that release gas or water vapour. Specialized cells known as guard cells surround stomata and function to open and close stomatal pores

Biological systems
Systems
Respiritory system
-
The respiratory system controls breathing and oxygen intake for the whole body, and gets rid of the CO2
Three processes are essential for the transfer of oxygen from the outside air to the blood flowing through the lungs: ventilation, diffusion, and perfusion
Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of gases, without the use of any energy or effort by the body, between the gas in the alveoli and the blood in the capillaries in the lungs

Digestive system
Digestion is the process of breaking down food into smaller components so it can be used for nutrients
Types of digestion
Chemical digestion
Chemical digestion is the process of digestiong food which chemicals and enzymes, like stomach acids
-
Mechanical digestion
Mechanical digestion is digestion though things like crushing, squishing etc with things like teeth
-
Food pathway
Mouth
oesophagus
stomach
-
small intestine
large intestine
- 2 more items...
liver produces bile (stored in the gall bladder) and pancreas helps continue digestion, and then begins absorbing the nutrients

Organ Systems >
-
An organ system is a group of organs in the body that connect and work together to perform a function. Each system relies on the other to work

Plant cells
-
Parts
-
Cell wall
Contains cellulose and gives the cell a rigid shape. It also prevents the cell from bursting when it is full of water
Vacuole
Stores water and dissolved nutrient, and when filled with water it pushes outwards and helps keep the cells shape
Cell surface membrane
Forms boundary between the cell and its surroundings. It is partially permeable so it will allow some substances, eg oxygen, to enter or leave the cell
Cytoplasm
Gel like material made of water and dissolved substances, supports the other cell structures. Some chemical reactions occur in the cytoplasm
Chloroplast
Photosynthesis happens here, contains chlorophyll which is green and can produce glucose and oxygen with water, CO2 and energy/light

Enzymes
-
-
-
Found in animals, plants and microorganisms
-
Enzymes in digestion
Enzymes in digestion break down large food molecules into smaller ones that can be absorbed through the small intestine wall to reach the blood
Different parts of the digestive track have different pH levels to help the different enzymes work better
