(For students who don’t have time to read a whole textbook, I got you)
BIOLOGY: LIFE, DNA, & WHY YOU LOOK LIKE YOUR PARENTS
🔹 Cells 101:
•The cell membrane controls what enters and exits (bouncer of the cell).
•Nucleus = The control center, home to your DNA.
•Mitochondria = Power plant, making energy from food.
•Chloroplasts (Plants Only) = Where sunlight turns into food (photosynthesis).
🔹 Genetics & Traits:
•DNA is like a manual for your body.
•Genes are specific instructions within DNA.
•Mitosis vs. Meiosis:
•Mitosis = makes copies (for growth & repair).
•Meiosis = makes sperm/egg cells (for babies).
🔹 Ecosystem & The Circle of Life:
•Food Webs: Everything is connected, and yes, humans are messing it up.
•Photosynthesis & The Carbon Cycle:
•Plants absorb CO₂ → make O₂ (thanks, trees!).
•Climate Change 101: Why pollution, deforestation, and greenhouse gases matter.
CHEMISTRY: THE STUDY OF STUFF
🔹 Understanding Atoms & The Periodic Table:
•Everything is made of atoms (protons, neutrons, electrons).
•Periodic Table = Cheat Code for element properties.
•Groups (Columns): Elements with similar traits.
•Periods (Rows): Elements increasing in atomic number.
🔹 Chemical Reactions = Things Changing Forms:
