01Module 2: Biomolecules - Water, Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins and Enzymes
Biochemistry relates water, carbohydrates, lipids and proteins to biological functions. Interpret structure, chemical bonds and supplied observations.
545 words, about 3 min02Module 1: Cell Biology - Ultrastructure, Membranes and Cell Division
Cell biology links organelle structure with function, membrane exchange and cell division. This chapter reviews shared foundations and interprets supplied water-potential data.
561 words, about 3 min03Module 3: Genetics - DNA, Gene Expression, Meiosis and Inheritance
Genetics traces the storage, replication and expression of information, chromosome behavior and inheritance probabilities. Use explicit organism, ploidy and dominance assumptions.
536 words, about 3 min04Metabolismo celular: catabolismo y anabolismo, respiración, fotosíntesis, enzimas
Esta revisión relaciona rutas metabólicas, compartimentos celulares, transferencia de electrones y modelos enzimáticos. Los balances se interpretan con los supuestos indicados, sin atribuir un número fijo universal de ATP ni una estructura oficial de examen.
533 words, about 3 min05Scientific Inquiry, Methodology, and the Nature of Science
Items here ask you to design, critique, and interpret investigations, and to tell scientific claims apart from pseudoscientific ones. The content is process and reasoning, not vocabulary recall.
520 words, about 3 min06Physical Science: Chemical Elements, Compounds and Reactions, Molecular Structure and Bonding
This domain tests the periodic table, bonding and molecular shape, reaction types, and quantitative stoichiometry. Elements are ordered by atomic number.
406 words, about 2 min07Mechanics
This mechanics review develops kinematics, Newton's laws, momentum, rigid-body equilibrium, circular motion, oscillations and gravitational ideas. State sign conventions, resolve vectors and justify the choice of force, energy or momentum methods.
492 words, about 2 min08Physical Science: The Earth: Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Structure Features, Geologic Processes, and History
This domain covers Earth's interior, plate tectonics, rocks and geologic time, and the atmosphere and hydrosphere. Layers: crust (oceanic basalt, thin; continental granite, thick), mantle, liquid outer core, solid inner core.
390 words, about 2 min09Organismal Structure and Function (Anatomy and Physiology)
Items test how organ systems maintain internal stability, how exchange surfaces are built, and how structure at each level serves function. Negative feedback reverses a deviation: a sensor detects change, an integrating center compares it with a set point, and an effector counters it (insulin lowers glucose; sweating lowers temperature).
427 words, about 2 min10Microbiología, inmunología y biotecnología: virus, bacterias, respuesta inmunitaria, aplicaciones biotecnológicas
Esta revisión relaciona estructura microbiana, defensa inmunitaria y métodos de análisis de ADN. Se interpretan modelos celulares y datos suministrados; no se ofrecen diagnósticos, dosis, decisiones de tratamiento ni normas sanitarias extranjeras.
543 words, about 3 min11Evolutionary Biology and Diversity of Life
Items test the mechanisms that change allele frequencies, the evidence for common descent, speciation, and how organisms are classified and related. Natural selection acts on heritable phenotypic variation that affects fitness; it is not goal-directed and does not create new variation.
437 words, about 2 min12Ecology and Environmental Science
This domain tests population dynamics, species interactions, energy and nutrient flow, succession, and human effects on ecosystems. Exponential growth (r) is unlimited; logistic growth adds carrying capacity K, producing an S-curve with density-dependent limits (food, disease, space).
