    Study Notes

    Biology

    • Cell Biology

      • Structure and function of cells (prokaryotic vs eukaryotic).
      • Organelles: nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus.
      • Cell division: mitosis and meiosis processes and significance.
    • Genetics

      • Basics of heredity, chromosomes, genes, and alleles.
      • Mendelian genetics: laws of segregation and independent assortment.
      • Concepts of dominant, recessive, homozygous, heterozygous.
    • Ecology

      • Ecosystems: components (producers, consumers, decomposers).
      • Food chains vs. food webs.
      • Biomes and biogeochemical cycles (carbon, nitrogen).

    Chemistry

    • Basic Concepts

      • Matter and its states: solid, liquid, gas.
      • Elements, compounds, and mixtures.
      • Chemical reactions: reactants, products, and balancing equations.
    • Atomic Structure

      • Structure of an atom: protons, neutrons, electrons.
      • Atomic number, mass number, and isotopes.
      • Introduction to periodic table: groups, periods, and trends (metals, non-metals, metalloids).
    • Bonding

      • Types of chemical bonds: ionic, covalent, and metallic.
      • Properties of substances based on bonding.
      • Molecular vs. empirical formulas.

    Botany

    • Plant Anatomy

      • Plant cell structure: similarities and differences with animal cells.
      • Tissues: meristematic vs. permanent.
      • Organs: roots, stems, leaves – functions and structures.
    • Plant Physiology

      • Photosynthesis: light-dependent and light-independent reactions.
      • Plant hormones: roles of auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, and abscisic acid.
      • Water transport: transpiration and cohesion-tension theory.
    • Plant Classification

      • Major plant groups: angiosperms, gymnosperms, ferns, mosses.
      • Taxonomy: binomial nomenclature, hierarchy of classification (kingdom, phylum, class, etc.).
      • Importance of biodiversity and conservation.
