Page 2: Magnetic Fields and Solenoids
This page discusses the properties of solenoids and magnetic fields, explaining how solenoids create strong and uniform magnetic fields.
Definition: A solenoid is a coil of wire that creates a magnetic field when electric current flows through it.
Highlight: The magnetic field is strongest inside the solenoid and becomes weaker outside.
Page 3: Plant Transport Systems
This page details the transport system in plants xylem phloem, explaining their crucial roles in plant survival.
Vocabulary:
- Xylem: Tissue that transports water and minerals
- Phloem: Tissue that transports sugars and nutrients
- Translocation: Movement of food through phloem
- Meristem: Growing region containing undifferentiated cells
Highlight: The vascular tissue system is essential for plant survival and growth.
Page 4: Cell Structure Comparison
This page compares plant and animal cell structures, highlighting their key components and differences.
Definition: Cells are the basic structural and functional units of all living organisms.
Example: Plant cells have additional structures like cell walls and large vacuoles that animal cells lack.
Page 5: BMI and Obesity
This page introduces Body Mass Index (BMI) and its relationship to obesity.
Definition: BMI = body mass in kg / (height in meters)²
Highlight: BMI is a key indicator of whether someone is overweight or obese.
Page 6: Health Implications of Obesity
This page discusses how obesity affects health, particularly focusing on cardiovascular disease.
Highlight: Obesity can lead to multiple health issues including high blood pressure and increased diabetes risk.
Example: Fatty deposits in arteries are a direct result of obesity and can lead to cardiovascular disease.
Page 7: Plant Defense Mechanisms
This page explains various ways plants protect themselves from herbivores.
Vocabulary:
- Thorns: Sharp protective structures
- Mimicry: Imitation of harmful species
- Herbivore: Plant-eating animals
Example: Plants use thorns, hairs, and mimicry as defense mechanisms.
Page 8: Plant Transport Details
This page provides additional detail about plant transport systems.
Definition: Plant transport systems consist of specialized tissues that move different substances throughout the plant.
Highlight: Xylem and phloem work together to maintain plant health and growth.
Page 9: Liver and Small Intestine Functions
This page describes the functions of the liver and small intestine, including their tissue types.
Definition: The liver is a vital organ that performs multiple functions including blood detoxification and sugar level control.
Highlight: Both organs contain multiple tissue types including epithelial and glandular tissues.
Page 10: Organ Functions and Tissue Types
This page details the functions of various organs including the heart, stomach, and pancreas.
Definition: Each organ contains specific tissue types that enable its specialized functions.
Example: The heart contains muscular and epithelial tissue to enable blood pumping throughout the body.
Page 1: Taxonomic Classification System
This page outlines the hierarchical classification system used in biology, moving from Kingdom down to Species level. The system demonstrates how organisms are classified in increasingly specific groups.
Definition: Taxonomy is the science of naming, classifying, and organizing living things.
Example: The classification hierarchy follows: Kingdom → Phylum → Class → Order → Family → Genus → Species
Highlight: This classification system is fundamental to understanding biological relationships between organisms.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
