UNIT 2 The population of Spain and Europe

 

1.The population is the total number of people who live in an area.

2.Demography is the study of human populations and includes the size, structure and distribution of population.

3.To measure population and demography, governments use two different types of surveys: the electoral roll and the census.

4. The electoral roll is a survey that a local government do to measure how many voting people there are in a city.

5. The census is a survey that the national government do to measure how many people live in a city and other characteristics.

6. In Spain, the organisation who elaborate the electoral roll and the census is the Instituto Nacional de Estadística.

8. The mortality rate is the number of people who have died in a specific place during a specific time.

9. The birth rate is the number of babies born in a specific place during a specific time.

10. Spain has got a population of more than 47.3 million people.

11. The results of the census showed that Spain has a positive natural growth, because the birth rate is higher than the mortality rate.

12. The results of the census showed that Spain has a negative real growth, because there are more emigrants than immigrants.

13. Emigration is the number of people who go to a different country to live and work. They are called emigrants.

14. Immigration is the number of people who come to our country to live and work. They are called immigrants.

23. Europe’s population is increasing, because there are more births than deaths.

24. Europe’s population is also increasing because there are more immigrants than emigrants.

UNIT 1 Living beings. Cells and functions.

Buenos días chicos/as,

Os dejo las imágenes y audios para repasar el tema 1, junto con la ficha que os he entregado de las frases especiales :)

1.Cells are the smallest part of a living being and they all have three components: a cell membrane, cytoplasm and genetic material.
2.Cells are also alive because they complete the three vital functions of nutrition, interaction and reproduction.

3.There are two main types of cells depending on the job that they do: prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells.

4.In prokaryotic cells, the genetic material is in the cytoplasm, they don´t contain different types of organelles and they have a rigid cell wall.

5.In eukaryotic cells, the genetic material is enclosed inside a nucleus, they contain different types of organelles and some of these have a rigid cell wall and others don´t.

6.Cells that use autotrophic nutrition make nutrients by combining water, carbon dioxide and solar energy.

7.Cells that use heterotrophic nutrition take nutrients from other living beings.

8.Cells obtain nutrients, respire and release waste as part of the nutrition function.

9.Cells can produce substances, grow and change shape as part of the interaction function.

10.Cells can divide themselves as part of the reproduction function.

11.Unicellular living beings are made up of just one cell and they aren´t organised and coordinated.

12.The Monera Kingdom includes bacteria, which are made up of a prokaryotic cell.

13.The Protoctista Kingdom includes protozoa (with heterotrophic nutrition) and algae (with autotrophic nutrition).

14.The Fungi Kingdom includes unicellular fungi, mold and mushrooms (with heterotrophic nutrition).

15.Multicellular living beings are made up of some cells and they are organised and coordinated.

16.Cells of multicellular living beings without tissues are joined together but aren´t specialised.

17.Cells of multicellular living beings with tissues but no organs do a specific activity.

18.Cells of multicellular living beings with organs are the most complex living beings and do a very specific activity.

UNIT 1 Human beings. Science and health.

Buenos días chicos/as,

Os dejo las imágenes y audios para repasar el tema 1, junto con la ficha que os he entregado de las frases especiales :)

1.Humans interact with their environment in three different stages: detecting stimuli, generating orders and responding to orders.

2.Receptor cells detect stimuli and send signals to the nervous system.

3.The nervous system transmits, interprets and responds to nerve impulses.

4.The nervous system is made up of neurons, whose parts are axon and dentrites, and they form nerves.

5.Our sense organs are our eyes, ears, olfactory epithelium in the nose, taste buds in the mouth and skin.

6.The principal effectors are the skeleton and the muscles, which generate movement.

7.The eyes detect light around us, send the information through the optic nerve to the brain and we can see.

8.The ears detect sound vibrations in the air, send the information through the auditory nerve to the brain and we can hear.

9.The taste buds detect substances in the mouth, send the information through the gustatory nerve to the brain and we can taste.

10.In the nose, the olfactory bulb detects substances in the air, send the information through the olfactory nerve to the brain and we can smell.

11.In the skin, the touch receptor cells send the information to the spinal cord and the brain and we can feel the pressure, the pain and the temperature.

12.The skeleton is a structure formed by bones and joints.

13.The skeleton provides our body with a structural frame and protects the organs.

14.The muscles are attached to the skeleton by tendons and we need muscles to move.

15.We can prevent certain diseases by living a healthy lifestyle.
