Meiosis is the process of cell division that results in gametes, such as sperm or egg cells, with half the normal number of chromosomes. There are two rounds of division, meiosis I and meiosis II. In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up and separate, resulting in two cells each with half the original number of chromosome pairs. Crossing over can also occur, where homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material. In meiosis II, sister chromatids separate to produce four gametes each with a single set of chromosomes derived from the original cell. Meiosis introduces genetic variability through independent assortment of homologous chromosomes and crossing over.

Wind energy.
Marine energy.
Geothermal energy.
Biomass.
14. Hydraulic energy
This is the mechanical energy produced by
the movement of water.
Production: Water is stored in dams. When
the water is released from the dam and
falls potential energy is transformed into
kinetic. Kinetic energy makes the
alternator rotates, and this transform
kinetic energy into electricity.
Transformation: Hydraulic energy produce
electricity in hydroelectric power stations.
15. Hydraulic energy
Advantages:
It's non-polluting.
It's cheap.
It's clean.
Disadvantages:

Reservoirs can damage the animal and
plants life.
16. Solar energy
Solar energy take advantage of light to convert it into
chemical energy.
Production and transformation: To produce hot water,
collectors use the sun's heat to heat up the water that
circulates in the pipes below.
To generate electrical energy using solar panels. These
panels contain photovoltaic cells that transform light into
electricity.
To produce electrical energy in heliostat fields.
Heliostats are mirrors that reflect light from the sun and
focus it onto a central collector. The collector converts
the water into steam. A generator then produce electricity
with the steam.

by the effect of radiation on the
atmosphere. Radiation produces different
temperatures and heights in the
atmosphere, which causes the air to move.
When wind energy causes blades of a wind
turbine to move, the wind's kinetic energy
is converted into electricity.

Wave energy: It's obtained from the movement
of sea waves.
Ocean thermal energy: It's produced from the
difference in temperature between the surface
of the sea and the deep sea.
21. Geothermal energy
This energy comes from the heat stored in the
earth's crust.
Sometimes it appears naturally, for example,
geysers and volcanic eruptions. If the
temperature is below 150 ºC, heat can be
produced, if it is above 150 ºC, electricity can
be produced.
22. Biomass
This is produced from plant remains, forest
and agricultural waste and organic waste in
sewage.
Biomass is mainly used in two ways, to produce
electricity and for transformation in fuels.
23. Non-renewable
energy sources
Nuclear energy.
Coal.
Petroleum.
Natural gas.
24. Nuclear energy
Production: Nuclear energy is stored in the
nuclei of atoms. This is released in the nuclear
reaction that occurs in certain atoms.
There are two kinds
Nuclear fusion: This is when two light
nuclei join to form a heavier nucleus.
Nuclear fission: This is when a heavy
nucleus is split into two lighter nuclei
by bombarding it with neutrons.
25. Nuclear energy
Transformation: Nuclear power stations use
fission energy.
The thermal energy released by the reaction
heats water and the water is converted into
steam under high pressure. This steam moves
the turbines of a generator to produce
electrical energy.
26. Coal
Coal was formed 300 million years ago from
the remains of plants that were buried and
transformed in the absence of oxygen. It's
classified into four types depending on the
amount of carbon it contains:
Anthracite, bituminous coal, lignite and peat.
27. Coal
Extraction: There are two methods for extracting
coal:
Open-cast mines: When the coal is close
to the surface, soil is removed to expose
it. The coal is extracted with special
machinery and explosives.
Underground mines: When the coal is
buried deep below the surface, it must
be mined underground. The mines consist
of a network of shafts and tunnels.
28. Coal
Transport: In the mine, it's transported in
carts or in lifts. After the coal is washed and
crushed, it can be trasported:
By sea: In enormous ships that can
weigh up to 500000 t.
By land: Normally by train, this is
economical and trains can carry very
large loads.
By road: Usually for local transport.
29. Uses:
Coal
For energy:
Nowadays:
To generate electricity in conventional
power stations.
For central heating systems.
In the past:
For street lighting.
As a domestic fuel.
30. Petroleum
Petroleum is formed from the buried remains of
plants and animals that have decomposed
because of the bacterial action. It's a liquid
substance, with a lower density than water.
It's found in porous rocks under the sea and in
other sedimentary basins, forming oil fields.
31. Petroleum
Extraction: Petroleum is expensive and difficult to
extract because it's usually deep underground.
A well is drilled on land or under the sea. The
plataform built in the sea is called oil rig.
The petroleum is extracted using pumps, or
natural pressure in the well causes the oil
to rise to the surface.
The extracted petroleum contains salt water,
rock, mud and gas, so it's the purified.
32. Petroleum
Storage and transport:
The purified crude oil is stored in containers
before it's transported by oil tankers or oil
pipelines.
Oil tankers: They're specialised ships designed for
intercontinental transport. The oil is dived into
separate tanks in the ship for safety reasons.
Oil pipelines: They're enormous steel pipes.
They lie above ground on the surface or are
buried in protected trenches.
33. Petroleum
Transformation and uses:
Derivates of crude oil are used in industry and
heat engines. Fractional distillation is a process
carried out in the refineries to produce these
derivates:
Liquefied gases, liquid fuels, fuel oil, light
components and heavy components.
34. Natural gas
Natural gas is a mixture of gases formed from
decomposed plants and animals. It contains
more than 70% mehane. Natural gas is found
in underground gas fields and in porous
rocks. It's often found along with petroleum
deposits.
Extraction: Natural gas is expensive to
extract. It's extracted by drilling.
35. Natural gas
Storage and transport:
Natural gas is tranported from gas fields by gas
pipelines.
The gas is converted into liquid form.
It's transported in specially designed
ships called LNG carriers.
When the LNG reaches its destination,
the liquid gas is transformed into the
gaseous state.
36. Natural gas
Uses: Gas for fuel is used in industry and in
homes to produce thermal energy, and in
thermal power stations to produce
electricity.
37. Types of power stations
Hydraulic power station.
Solar power station.
Nuclear power station.
Thermal power station.
Eolic power station
38. Hydraulic power station
A Hydraulic power station is a complex of
installations and equipment that convert
hydraulic energy into electricity.Power-
generating equipment transform the energy of
water moving under pressure into the mechanical
energy of rotation, which in turn is transformed
into electrical energy.
39. Solar power station
Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into
electricity, using photovoltaics, or using
concentrated solar power. Concentrated
solar power systems use lenses or mirrors.
Photovoltaics convert light into electric
current using the photovoltaic effect.
40. Nuclear power station
Nuclear power is the use of sustained
nuclear fission to generate heat and
electricity. Nuclear power stations
provide about 6% of the world's energy
and 13–14% of the world's electricity.
41. Thermal power station
A thermal power station is a power plant in which
the prime mover is steam driven. Water is
heated, turns into steam and spins a steam
turbine which drives an electrical generator.
After it passes through the turbine, the steam is
condensed in a condenser and recycled to where
it was heated.
42. Eolic power station
Eolic power is the conversion of wind energy
into a useful form of energy, such as using
wind turbines to make electricity, windmills
for mechanical power, windpumps for water
pumping or drainage, or sails to propel ships.
43. Wind turbines
Wind turbines have long produced renewable
energy but a French engineering firm has
discovered another eco-purpose for the
towering structures.
He explains that the technology works by first
generating electricity in the traditional
manner of a wind turbine. This power enables
the entire water generating system to
function. The next stage sees air sucked in
through the nose of the turbine via a device
known as an “air blower”
44. Wind turbines
He also said: Can hot air by the free fuel of
the future?
This technique could enable them to overcome
these problems and make the island self-
sufficient in a way thaat doesn't harm the
environment.
