BIO 11 overview 

This semester we studied and we go over interesting chapters and topics  of biology 11 .
We started with evolution and now we studying plants.
I will show you a list of the all main topics that we went through :

1. Scientific method  and steps :  hypothesis , observation , analyzing the results and a conclusive             
                                                  Theory

2. Language of science ( scientific vocabulary ) : little words that are linked together and have      
                                                                         different meanings.

3. Characteristics of living things : 5 important characteristics 

4. Evolution :    indirect + direct evidence 
                          Lamarck and Darwin + theories 
                          Natural selection 
                          Speciation
                     
7.Taxonomy : Levels-kingdom and different characteristics of these.

-Virus : Characteristics- life cycle-Viral disease
-Bacteria : Characteristics- life cycle- Bacterial disease
-Protista : animal-like and plant-like + characteristics

 8.Animal Kingdom + characteristics

- Worms:  Platyhelmintes - Nematodes - Annelids 
                 Flatworm / Roundworms / Earthworm 
 -Molluscs:  Snail - Clam- Octopus squid 
 -Arthropods: Chilipoda - Insecta - Diplopoda - Arachinida ..
 -Chordata:  Fishes              
                   Amphibians
                   Reptiles                  +  Characteristics 
                   Birds             
                   Mammals 

9.Kingdom Plantae :     Algae                           Nonvascular plants
                                    Bryophyta
                                   
                                    Tracheophyta 
                                    Gymnosperms               Vascular plants
                                    Angiosperm 


I wouldn't change anything from what i did in Biology 11. Biology it's full of the interesting things of life and life of pasts . I really enjoyed studying it and i learned so much inthis semester.
