This document provides a summary of North Carolina's geology, beginning with the oldest Appalachian Mountain province that was formed 480 million years ago through plate collisions. It describes how the shifting of tectonic plates led to the formation of various supercontinents like Rodinia and Pangea over hundreds of millions of years. As these landmasses broke apart, the sediments eroded from the mountains formed the Coastal Plain where North Carolina's coastline and features like barrier islands and sounds are now located. The document uses the geological clues and structures visible today to reconstruct North Carolina's geological history over millions of years.

Lithosphere 3 notes: NC Geology
The document summarizes the geology of North Carolina through time. It describes how North Carolina began with the ancient Appalachian mountains forming 480 million years ago during the collision of tectonic plates that built the supercontinent Pangea. Erosion of these mountains contributed sediment that was deposited in inland seas, forming the Coastal Plain regions. Changing sea levels over millions of years shaped the coastline, including the barrier islands along the Outer Banks. The geology of North Carolina was ultimately determined by plate tectonics and weathering processes acting over hundreds of millions of years.
Cell energy 2 cellular respiration
Cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce ATP, the "energy currency" of cells. It occurs in three main stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm and produces a small amount of ATP. The Krebs cycle and electron transport chain take place in the mitochondria and generate most of the cell's ATP through aerobic respiration. When oxygen is limited, fermentation pathways produce a small amount of ATP without using oxygen.
Ecology 2 notes
1. The document discusses how energy from the sun is transferred through ecosystems via various processes like photosynthesis, chemosynthesis, and cellular respiration. It moves from autotrophs to heterotrophs through food chains and webs.
2. As energy moves up trophic levels from producers to primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers, 90% less energy is available at each level. Marine ecosystems tend to have more microscopic autotrophs while terrestrial ecosystems rely more on plant autotrophs and large herbivores.
3. Key biogeochemical cycles like carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus are outlined as well as how pollutants can biomagnify up food chains. Biodiversity and human impacts
Ecology 1 notes
This document provides an overview of ecology and ecological organization. It discusses key terms like biotic and abiotic factors, and describes different levels of ecological organization from the biosphere down to species, populations, communities, and ecosystems. Relationships between organisms like competition, cooperation, predation, and symbiosis are also summarized. Adaptations and behaviors that help organisms survive, like structural adaptations, innate behaviors, and learned behaviors, are briefly covered.
Biology Introduction: Nutrient Cycles
The document discusses nutrient cycles and biomolecules. It provides information on the carbon, nitrogen, and water cycles which are essential for life. Cells use carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen to make important molecules like carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleotides. These macromolecules are made up of monomers that polymerize and provide structure, energy storage, and genetic material for organisms.
Biochemistry 2 macromolecules notes
This document provides an overview of biochemistry and the four main macromolecules - carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. It discusses their monomers and polymers, important examples, functions, and roles in digestion. Digestion is summarized as the breakdown of food into smaller particles for absorption in the bloodstream, involving both mechanical and chemical processes aided by digestive enzymes in the mouth, stomach, and pancreas.
Lithosphere 3 NC Geology
North Carolina's geology was shaped by plate tectonics over hundreds of millions of years. The oldest rocks are found in the Appalachian Mountains and date back 480 million years to the building of Pangea. Erosion of these mountains contributed sediment that forms the Piedmont region and Coastal Plain. The Fall Line marks the boundary between harder Piedmont rocks and softer Coastal Plain rocks, influencing settlement patterns. The Outer Banks are a chain of barrier islands along the coast, constantly changing due to coastal processes like erosion and deposition.
Soil and Water Notes 1:
The document discusses several key topics related to water and the lithosphere:
1) Weathering and erosion break down and transport rocks and sediments, forming landforms over time. Mechanical and chemical weathering break rocks into smaller pieces, while erosion transports sediment.
2) Ocean water dissolves and carries minerals, impacting the chemistry of seawater and ocean floor sediments. Water also circulates between oceans, atmosphere, and lithosphere via the water cycle.
3) Factors like climate, rock type, and topography influence the rate of weathering and types of landforms that form over thousands or millions of years. Examples are provided of distinctive landforms shaped by weathering and erosion.

Ethical considerations around topics like patenting life forms and conducting safety research are also briefly outlined.
Phylogenetics: Evolution
This document discusses evidence that supports the theory of evolution through natural selection. It provides examples of homologous structures that indicate common ancestry, such as the bones in the human arm and horse leg. Modern examples, like the evolution of pesticide resistance in insects and antibiotic resistance in bacteria, illustrate evolution in action. The document also explains how the fossil record, analogous structures, vestigial structures, and comparisons of macromolecules across species serve as lines of evidence for evolution through natural selection over generations.
Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
