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

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

• Understand when to use Venn diagrams.
• Draw Venn diagrams.
• Interpret Venn diagrams.

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.

Mitosis, meiosis and sexual reproduction. Understanding gametes, zygotes, and haploid / diploid numbers.

The Calvin Cycle or the light-independent (dark) reactions of photosynthesis.

This video looks at set notation, Venn diagrams and probability.

Sometimes, when the probability problems are complex, it can be helpful to graph the situation. Tree diagrams and Venn diagrams are two tools that can be used to visualize and solve conditional probabilities.

This online lesson explores these two tools.

Using a Venn Diagram, students identify similarities and differences between two things by listing certain features in a chart containing overlapping circles. Venn Diagrams can be used to summarize, compare, or comprehend information.

Introduction to viruses

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