The MacArthur-Wilson Island Biogeography Theory proposes that the number of species found on islands is determined by a dynamic equilibrium between immigration and extinction rates. It assumes species have equal chances of dispersing to islands and that there is no interaction between species on islands. The theory models how factors like the distance of an island from the mainland and the island's area influence immigration and extinction rates, and thereby the number of species able to exist on the island long-term.
The three lines of defense in the immune system are:
1) First line is external non-specific defenses like skin and mucus.
2) Second line is internal non-specific defenses like white blood cells and antimicrobial proteins.
3) Third line is internal specific defenses using B cells, T cells, and antibodies for a targeted response.

The nervous system is responsible for maintaining homeostasis in the body. It does this through communication between the brain and body via the central and peripheral nervous systems. The brain is made up of different sections that each perform specific tasks to regulate internal conditions. Within the nervous system, there are sensory neurons that receive information, interneurons that integrate and interpret signals, and motor neurons that activate responses in the body's effectors like muscles and glands. Together these neurons form reflex arcs that allow for rapid involuntary responses essential for homeostasis.
The document outlines the major contributors to the development of evolutionary theory over time. It begins with Jean-Baptiste Lamarck who first proposed that species descended from other species and that acquired traits could be inherited. It then discusses other early thinkers like Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace who developed the theory of evolution by natural selection. Later figures like Gregor Mendel, James Watson, and Francis Crick helped explain evolution in terms of genetics and inheritance of traits through DNA.

The mammalian kidney filters blood in the glomerulus and regulates water and salt balance through selective reabsorption and secretion in the nephron's tubule segments. In the proximal tubule, most reabsorption occurs, while the thin ascending loop of Henle secretes salt and the thick ascending loop reabsorbs salt actively. The collecting duct determines salt excretion, reabsorbing water passively. Osmoreceptors detect blood osmolarity and volume changes, triggering antidiuretic hormone and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system respectively to regulate water and salt balance. Through selective tubule transport, the kidney maintains homeostasis.

The immune system defends the body against pathogens through layered lines of defense. The innate immune system provides immediate nonspecific responses while the adaptive immune system mounts targeted responses through lymphocytes. B and T lymphocytes recognize pathogens through antigen receptors and mount humoral or cell-mediated responses involving antibody production or cytotoxic killing. Immune memory develops from these responses to provide faster protection upon reexposure. A balanced immune response is needed, as deficiencies or issues with self-tolerance can lead to infection or autoimmunity.

Parents are asked to indicate whether they allow their son/daughter to participate.
The immune system protects the body from pathogens through a complex system of cells, tissues, and organs. It has innate and adaptive defenses. The innate system provides immediate but non-specific responses, while the adaptive system mounts antigen-specific immune responses that can recognize and remember pathogens. The adaptive system includes B cells that produce antibodies and T cells that direct immune responses. Antibodies help eliminate pathogens through processes like opsonization, neutralization, and complement activation. Memory cells enable faster and stronger responses upon reexposure to the same pathogen. Immunodeficiencies impair immune function, while autoimmune diseases arise from immune responses against self-antigens.
The document discusses the immune system and its defenses against pathogens. It covers three groups: 1) the non-specific first line defenses of the skin, mucus, and cilia, 2) the inflammatory response involving cells like macrophages, mast cells, and cytokines, and 3) the specific adaptive immune response involving T cells, B cells, antibodies, and memory cells that provide long-term protection against pathogens.

It then covers the differences between plant and animal nutrition, and discusses how digestion provides evidence of evolution. Various aspects of digestion systems are explained, including intracellular and extracellular digestion. The stages of digestion - ingestion, digestion, absorption, and elimination - are outlined. Key organs involved in digestion like the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine are described along with their functions. Hormones that regulate digestion are also mentioned.
This document describes an activity to investigate the island biogeography of three islands in the Hundred Islands National Park in the Philippines. Students will count the number of plant and animal species on each island and measure the island sizes to test the hypotheses that species richness increases with island size and population density decreases with island size. The activity involves searching each island within a time limit to identify and record all morphospecies of plants and small animals found.
