CONCEPTUALIZATION

North America is made up of countries. One of these is the United States. Above the United States is a country called Canada. Below the United States is a country called Mexico. To the right on this map (east) of the United States is a body of water called the Atlantic Ocean and to the left (west) is another body of water called the Pacific Ocean.

Our Nation: The 50 States


The United States is made up of 50 states. Most of the states border each other. There are two states that do not touch the rest of the states. These are Alaska and Hawaii.

Our Capital: Washington, D.C.


Every country has a capital. This is where the government makes important decisions, such as laws. It is also where the President lives and Congress meets. The Supreme Court judges work here too. The capital of the United States is Washington, D.C. It is named after George Washington, who was the first President of the United States, and Christopher Columbus, a famous explorer. Washington, D.C. is located on the east coast and is surrounded by the states of Maryland and Virginia on the Potomac River. It is America's first planned city and was designed by Pierre L'Enfant.

Plant

Plants are a major group of life forms and include familiar organisms such as trees, herbs, bushes, grasses, vines, ferns, mosses, and green algae. About 350,000 species of plants, defined as seed plants, bryophytes, ferns and fern allies, are estimated to exist currently. As of 2004, some 287,655 species had been identified, of which 258,650 are flowering and 15,000 bryophytes. Green plants, sometimes called metaphytes, obtain most of their energy from sunlight via a process called photosynthesis. We are going to meet two classifications: 1. Classes of plants according to their size. There are three main types of plants

Trees

The trees are larger plants that exist. They come in many different shapes and sizes, from small fruit trees until sequoias, that the trees are larger, since some of them measuring 84 meters high and has more than 3500 years.

The trees also are different from other plants because they have a single stem, called trunk, which is hard and woody.

A large number of species of trees lose their leaves with the arrival of cold winter. They do this to protect themselves from the cold and not freeze leaves them with frost. In the spring, it will sprout new leaves by all its branches. I call deciduous trees. By name a few examples, have the sheet expires almond, elm and birch.

Other species of trees do not lose their leaves during the winter, but that will renew throughout the year. I call evergreen trees. This is the case of pine, fir, oak or olive.

The bushes

They are smaller than plant trees, but larger than herbs. They have several stems that some are woody shrubs. Like the trees, some lose their leaves in winter. There are also adapted to different climates. Some may resist frost of winter; others bear large periods of drought, while others are adapted to live in very warm areas, and so on. There are numerous species of shrubs; some of them are roses, rockrose and aulaga.

The herbaceous plants

The herbs are small plants out of the ground a few of them have a short life for one or two years. planet is covered with wild grass. Others are food for humans or animals, and some were also ornamental plants for their beauty. They are wheat, poppy or parsley. 2. Plants without flowers and flowering plants Plants without flowers

centimetres. Most Most soil of the grown to provide caring as herbaceous plants

Many plants do not produce flowers at any point in their lives. In this group of plants are called in Botany plants cryptogams. His way is to reproduce by spores. The best known of the plants that have no flowers are mosses, ferns and algae. It is the SECONDplant began to exist and lived in times that there were still not human beings. They usually live in forests and very humid because they need to have their water swimming spores to reproduce. The mosses are the most primitive land plants and easiest way. They are small plants that live in very humid and shady, because not tolerate direct sunlight. They can be found in the soil, under the shade of rain forests, but always in areas umbra.

The ferns are also very old plant. For 300 million years ferns were much more

abundant than now. Some were as large as huge trees and forests were authentic. His remains and buried putrefaction have led, over millions of years, coal. Also need to live in areas of high humidity and cool.

Algae are a group of plants that live in water. Many scientists doubt that belong to the plant kingdom, as no show all the features and functions of the plant. Of the algae come the rest of the plants. They were the origin of plants because, over millions of years, some species on earth leading to other plants as mosses and ferns. Algae grow on the seabed or glued to the rocks and there seas, rivers, lakes and ponds. They have very different shapes and colours.

They are quite different to the rest of plants, as they have no root or stem since living in water, no need for these bodies to absorb. They made photosynthesis, and some of them are microscopic. An example of what we can see algae in the ponds, lakes, rivers and especially in the sea, where there are many species of colours green, yellow, blue or red.

Plants with flowers

Most of the plant reproduces by flowers. In Botany plant these plants are called "phanerogams." For them it is not essential that there is water to reproduce, so it can grow for areas that are not wet.

In flower plant has its reproductive organs. The flowers are formed the fruits and seeds, which are necessary for a plant of this kind is played.

Some plants produce flowers once or twice each year, such as orange or jasmine, others produce flowers only once in his whole life. The pita, for example, is a plant with thorns, which grows wild throughout the area around the Mediterranean. Supports the drought storing water in its thick leaves. Even 20 or 25 years does not produce flowers and dies after flowering. The flowering plants are divided into two main groups:

The gymnosperms have no fruits to protect the seed. Its flowers are very simple and often go unnoticed in our view. They are gymnosperms, for example, pine, fir and cypress. It is the oldest seed plants.

The angiosperm plants are more recent and more evolved. They have flowers that are often complex striking our view. The seeds are covered by a fruit that protects them. They are the power supply of humans and many mammals. There is also collected a large number of raw materials and natural products. The jazmines, roses, wheat and oak are angiospermS.

How plants get nourishment

Plants get nourishment in the following way:

First, the roots absorb water and nutrients from the soil. The mixture of water and nutrients that flows into the plant is called raw-sap. Plants turn the raw sap into refined sap in the leaves. Refined sap is a mixture of water and plant food. Leaves need sunlight to turn raw sap into refined sap. Finally, the refined sap is transported to all parts of the plant.

THE PARTS OF THE FLOWER

Vegetative reproduction is asexual reproductionother terms that apply are vegetative propagation or vegetative multiplication.

Vegetative growth is enlargement of the individual plant; vegetative reproduction is any process that results in new plant "individuals" without production of seeds or spores.

Classifications of animals according to the food they eat?


Carnivore - carnivorous creatures are meat-eaters Herbivore - herbivorous creatures are plant-eaters Insectivore - insectivorous creatures eat insects Frugivore - frugivorous creatures are fruit-eaters Omnivore - omnivorous creatures eat just about anything None of these classifications are exclusive, however. For example, herbivorous animals will tend to eat insects and fruit. Carnivores may eat plant parts if it helps their digestion.

Asexual reproduction
Asexual reproduction is the process by which an organism creates a genetically similar or identical copy of itself without a contribution of genetic material from another individual. Bacteria divide asexually via binary fission; viruses take control of host cells to produce more viruses; Hydras (invertebrates of the order Hydroidea) and yeasts are able to reproduce by budding. These organisms often do not possess different sexes, and they are capable of "splitting" themselves into two or more individuals. On the other hand, some of these species that are capable of reproducing asexually, like hydra, yeast (See Mating of yeasts] and jellyfish, may also reproduce sexually. For instance, most plants are capable of vegetative reproduction reproduction without seeds or sporesbut can also reproduce sexually. Likewise, bacteria may

exchange genetic information by conjugation. Other ways of asexual reproduction include parthenogenesis, fragmentation andspore formation that involves only mitosis. Parthenogenesis (from the Greek parthenos, "virgin", + genesis, "creation") is the growth and development of embryo or seed withoutfertilization by a male. Parthenogenesis occurs naturally in some species, including lower plants (where it is called apomixis), invertebrates (e.g. water fleas, aphids, some bees and parasitic wasps), and vertebrates (e.g. some reptiles,[1] fish, and, very rarely, birds[2] and sharks[3]). It is sometimes also used to describe reproduction modes in hermaphroditic species which can self-fertilize.

Sexual reproduction

Sexual reproduction is a biological process by which organisms create descendants that have a combination of genetic material contributed from two (usually) different members of the species. (Self-fertilization requires only one organism.) Each of two parent organisms contributes half of the offspring's genetic makeup by creating haploid gametes. Most organisms form two different types of

gametes. In these anisogamous species, the two sexes are referred to as male (producing sperm or microspores) and female (producing ova or megaspores). In isogamous species, the gametes are similar or identical in form (isogametes), but may have separable properties and then may be given other different names (seeisogamy). For example, in the green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, there are so-called "plus" and "minus" gametes. A few types of organisms, such as ciliates, Paramecium aurelia, have more than two types of "sex", called syngens.[4] Most animals (including humans) and plants reproduce sexually. Sexually reproducing organisms have different sets of genes for every trait (calledalleles). Offspring inherit one allele for each trait from each parent, thereby ensuring that offspring have a combination of the parents' genes. Diploid having two copies of every gene within an organism, it is believed that "the masking of deleterious alleles favors the evolution of a dominant diploid phase in organisms that alternate between haploid and diploid phases" where recombination occurs freely. [5][6] Bryophyte reproduces sexually but its commonly seen life forms are all haploid, which produce gametes. The zygotes of the gametes develop into sporangium, which produces haploid spores. The diploid stage is relatively short compared with that of haploid stage, i.e. haploid dominance. The advantage of diploid, e.g. heterosis, only takes place in diploid life stage. Bryophyte still maintains the sexual reproduction during its evolution despite the fact that the haploid stage does not benefit from heterosis at all. This may be an example that the sexual reproduction has a bigger advantage by itself, since it allows gene shuffling (hybrid or recombination between multiple loci) among different members of the species, that permits natural selection of the fit over these new hybrids or recombinants that are haploid forms.

Angle Measures
In this section we review measuring angles, and the different types of angles. The box below shows the different types of angles you can have.

Triangles
A triangle has three sides and three angles The three angles always add to 180

Equilateral, Isosceles and Scalene


There are three special names given to triangles that tell how many sides (or angles) are equal. There can be 3, 2 or no equal sides/angles:

Equilateral Triangle
Three equal sides Three equal angles, always 60

Isosceles Triangle
Two equal sides Two equal angles

Scalene Triangle
No equal sides No equal angles

What Type of Angle?


Triangles can also have names that tell you what type of angle is inside:

Acute Triangle
All angles are less than 90

Right Triangle
Has a right angle (90)

Obtuse Triangle
Has an angle more than 90

Area
The area is half of the base times height. "b" is the distance along the base "h" is the height (measured at right angles to the base)

Area = b h
The formula works for all triangles. Note: another way of writing the formula is bh/2

Example: What is the area of this triangle?

(Note: 12 is the height, not the length of the left-hand side) Height = h = 12 Base = b = 20

Area = b h = 20 12 = 120
The base can be any side, Just be sure the "height" is measured at right angles to the "base":

Polygons
A polygon is a closed plane figure with three or more sides that are all straight. Some examples of polygons are shown below.

The following figure is not a polygon as it is not a closed figure.

A circle is not a polygon as it does not have straight sides.

Polygons are named according to the number of sides. The names of the most common polygons are given below:

Clasification

Regular Polygon
A regular polygon's sides are all of the same length and its angles are the same size. For example, a square is a regular polygon.

Examples of regular polygons are shown below.

IRREGULAR POLYGON If a polygon is not a regular polygon, then it is said to be an irregular polygon. For example, the quadrilateral shown below is an irregular polygon.
