Mitosis vs. Meiosis
• Mitosis is a process of cell duplication, or reproduction,
during which one cell gives rise to two genetically
identical daughter cells.
• Meiosis, on the other hand, is a division of a germ cell
involving two fissions of the nucleus and giving rise to
four gametes, or sex cells, each possessing half the
number of chromosomes of the original cell.
• Mitosis is used by single celled organisms to reproduce;
it is also used for the organic growth of tissues, fibers,
and mibranes. Meiosis is useful for sexual reproduction
of organisms; The male and female sex cells, e.g. the
spermazoa and egg, fuse to create a new, singular
biological organism.

Conservation of Mass and Energy
• Energy: states that the total amount of energy in an isolated
system remains constant over time. This law means that
energy can change its location within the system, and that it
can change form within the system but not change in amount
of total energy.
• Mass: states that the mass of an isolated system will remain
constant over time. This law means that mass cannot be
created or destroyed, although it may be rearranged in space
and changed into different types of particles
Create a statement that combines both laws
into one concept. Give an example of how
these laws apply to living systems.

Carbon Cycle
• All living things are made of carbon. Carbon is also a part of the ocean, air, and even rocks.
Because the Earth is a dynamic place, carbon does not stay still. It is on the move!
• In the atmosphere, carbon is attached to some oxygen in a gas called carbon dioxide.
• Plants use carbon dioxide and sunlight to make their own food and grow. The carbon
becomes part of the plant. Plants that die and are buried may turn into fossil fuels made of
carbon like coal and oil over millions of years. When humans burn fossil fuels, most of the
carbon quickly enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
• Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and traps heat in the atmosphere. Without it and other
greenhouse gases, Earth would be a frozen world. But humans have burned so much fuel
that there is about 30% more carbon dioxide in the air today than there was about 150 years
ago, and Earth is becoming a warmer place. In fact, ice cores show us that there is now more
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than there has been in the last 420,000 years.
• CARBON is STORED in the OCEANS and in
FORESTS because water and trees absorb it
