Topics

1.     Cellular respiration-glycolysis, krebs cycle, & ETC (Jeneva, Aniyah, & Emonee)

2.     Photosynthesis-light dependent & light independent stages (Alex & Mariatou)

3.     Protein synthesis-transcription & translation, structure of proteins (Ethel, Tamara, & Jody)

4.     Nervous system-resting potential, action potential, & synapses (Aakilah, Yared, & Bintou)

5.     Sliding filament model of muscle contraction and synovial joints (Shania & Hannah)

6.     Immunity-active immunity (both primary and secondary responses), passive immunity (Jefferson & Mabel)

8.     Myogenic and neurological control of the heart; flow of blood through the heart (Sabeena & Jasmine)

9.     Digestion, absorption, & assimilation of nutrients (Remi, Efuetngu, & Priscilla)

10. 1 disease of each of the following systems 9a) circulatory system, (b) Nervous system (c) Immune system (d) respiratory system (Claire & Camiella)
