This weekend we will celebrate Jesus’ Ascension into Heaven; what does this mean to you?
Name one type of cell that makes up the human body.
Biology is the study of living things and their environment. It covers a wide range of topics like anatomy, physiology, genetics, and ecology. Biology helps us understand how living things interact with each other and their environment.
Introduction to Biology
Cell: A cell is the basic unit of life. All living things are made of cells and they carry out all the functions of life. Photosynthesis: Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use the energy of sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. DNA: DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. It is a molecule that contains genetic instructions for the development, functioning, and reproduction of all living organisms.
Concepts:
What is the difference between Mitosis and Meiosis?
What is the purpose of the different organelles in the cell?
How does DNA help us to understand evolution?
What is the relationship between genetics and ecology (organisms in their environment)?

Question: What is the role of mitochondria in a cell? Clues: • Mitochondria are often referred to as the 'powerhouse' of the cell. • Mitochondria generate energy in the form of ATP. • Mitochondria are found in most eukaryotic cells. In pairs: Select and solve one of the tasks: A. Draw a picture of a cell with mitochondria. B. Explain how mitochondria generate energy for the cell.
