FIRST CHAPTER
INTRODUCTION This magazine recognizes the importance of learning a new language through different knowledge fields, in this case this magazine is going to be focused on the components of Biology. Implementing different strategies to improve the acquisition of new vocabulary, clarifying the basic concepts related to Biology and also games and activities as a tool to learn.
We are Bachelor in Modern Languages Students of La Gran Colombia University. We have created this project to demonstrate that everyone can acquire a second language through different learning topics. Karol Natalia Cuellar

Second Chapter
Human Anatomy What is human Anatomy? Anatomy is the study of the structure of living things. Anatomist is a broad term to describe someone who studies, researches, or teaches in the anatomical sciences.
For more information... WHY IS IT IMPORTANT
On one hand, it gives you an important and clear understanding of how a human body really works. On the other hand, anatomy is also important because you are be able to identify the major cells, tissues, and organs being studied and to know how they function.
Chemical Composition Of The Body The human body consists mainly of WATER. The human body is about 60 percent water by weight.
LIPIDS are major structural components of the human body. Fats provide an energy reserve for the body
PROTEINS are an important constituent of the cell membrane.
NUCLEIC ACIDS make up the genetic materials of the body.
CARBOHYDRATES are present in the human body largely as fuels

INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
It acts as a barrier, protect the inner stuff of body, regulate body temperature and also eliminate waste
SKELETAL SYSTEM It supports the body and protect the internal organs. Muscular and skeletal system works together to provide movements. Besides, skeletal system provide proper shape to our body.
CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
This system helps to transfer blood, nutrients, hormones, oxygen and other gases to and from different body parts.
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM It is a series of organs responsible for taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide. The primary organs of the respiratory system are the lungs, which carry out this exchange of gases as we breathe.
NERVOUS SYSTEM It consists of the brain, spinal cord, sensory organs, and all of the nerves that connect these organs with the rest of the body. Together, these organs are responsible for the control of the body and communication among its parts.
ENDOCRINE SYSTEM This system is made up of glands that produce and secrete hormones, chemical substances produced in the body that regulate the activity of cells or organs. These hormones regulate the body's growth, metabolism and sexual development and function
REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM
The major function of the reproductive system is to ensure survival of the species.

ZOOLOGY
What is Zoology? This is the science of studying animals and animal behaviors. Zoologists and wildlife biologists will monitor how animals interact with their ecosystems and other wildlife. The focus of Zoology is the conservation of wildlife environments and protecting wildlife from threats.

Four Chapter
GENETICS
What is ? Genetics is the study of how traits such as hair color, eye color, and risk for disease are passed (“inherited�) from parents to their children. Genetics influence how these inherited traits can be different from person to person.

Concepts
GENETIC CODE The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material (DNA or RNA sequences) is ranslated into proteins (amino acid sequences) by living cells.
GEN Is the basic physical unit of heritage. The genes are transmitted from the parents to the offspring and contain the information necessary to specify their features. The genes are arranged, one after the other, in structures called chromosomes.
GENOTYPE Is your complete heritable genetic identity; it is your unique genome that would be revealed by personal genome sequencing.
PHENOTYPE Is a description of your actual physical characteristics. This includes straightforward visible characteristics like your height and eye color,
GENOME Is an organism’s complete set of DNA, including all of its genes. Each genome contains all of the information needed to build and maintain that organism.
EXOME Is the part of the genome composed of exons, the sequences when transcribed remain and splicing and contribute to the final protein product encoded by that gene.
GENETIC PROCESSES
It is associated with the division of somatic cells (most of the body's cells, except sex cells), so that this process took place in two cells with the same number of chromosomes and exactly the same as the mother..
It is the process of cell division by sex cells or gametes are obtained. These have half the chromosomes of the stem cell. In addition, each of them is obtained after the exchange of genetic material between the pair of equal chromosomes of the mother.
VOCABULARY DNA
ARN
Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is a molecule that contains the instructions an organism needs to develop, live and reproduce. These instructions are found inside every cell, and are passed down from parents to their children. Ribonucleic acid, complex compound of high molecular weight that functions in cellular protein synthesis and replaces DNA as a carrier of genetic codes in some viruses.
CHROMOSOME
Is a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes.

Five Chapter
Botany What is ? Botany is the study of organisms in the kingdom Plantae, otherwise known as plants. The word botany comes from the adjective botanic, which in turn comes from the Ancient Greek word botane, referring to plants, grasses, and pastures.
For more information...
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT Because they are a fundamental part of life on Earth, generating food, oxygen, fuel, medicine and fibers that allow other life forms to exist.
Classification of plants VASCULAR Plants that use roots and stems to take in water and nutrients
NON/VASCULAR Plants that don’t use roots and stems.
ANGIOSPERMS Also known as flowering plants; all have seeds that are protected by an ovule (think of an apple or other fruit).
GYMNOSPERMS A term meaning “naked seed;” refers to plants with seeds that aren’t protected by an ovule. Examples are conifers, which have pinecones.
GRASSES Plants that have slender leaves and reproduce by sending out underground stems called rhizomes that usually grow horizontally
HERBACEOS PLANTS Those with leaves and stems that die at the end of the growing season
WOODY SHRUBS Plants that have stems that are covered by a layer of bark
TREES Woody shrubs that have a main trunk and many branches
Plant Parts and Their Functions
VOCABULARY Roots
Stems
Leaves
Roots act like straws absorbing water and minerals from the soil. Tiny root hairs stick out of the root, helping in the absorption. Roots help to anchor the plant in the soil so it does not fall over. Roots also store extra food for future use.
Stems do many things. They support the plant. They act like the plant's plumbing system, conducting water and nutrients from the roots and food in the form of glucose from the leaves to other plant parts. Stems can be herbaceous like the bendable stem of a daisy or woody like the trunk of an oak tree.
Most plants' food is made in their leaves. Leaves are designed to capture sunlight which the plant uses to make food through a process called photosynthesis.
Flowers Flowers are the reproductive part of most plants. Flowers contain pollen and tiny eggs called ovules. After pollination of the flower and fertilization of the ovule, the ovule develops into a fruit.
Fruit Fruit provides a covering for seeds. Fruit can be fleshy like an apple or hard like a nut.
Seeds Seeds contain new plants. Seeds form in fruit.
