    2. Cell Structure and Function

    - Cells are the fundamental unit of life.

    - Key cell organelles:

    - Nucleus: Holds DNA and controls cell activities.

    - Mitochondria: Produces energy.

    - Ribosomes: Site of protein synthesis.

    - Cell Membrane: Regulates what enters and exits the cell.

    3. Genetics

    - DNA carries genetic information; genes are sections of DNA that determine traits.

    - Mendelian inheritance explains how traits are passed from parents to offspring.

    4. Evolution and Natural Selection

    - Evolution is the process by which species change over time through natural selection.

    5. Ecology

    - Ecosystems consist of all living organisms in an area and their physical environment.
    - Food chains depict energy flow from producers to consumers and decomposers.

    6. Human Body Systems

    - Major systems include circulatory, respiratory, and digestive, each with specific functions to

    maintain homeostasis.

    7. Scientific Method
