Genetic engineering

1. Recombinant DNA technology.
Aim: Providing an organism with a new trait.

How to create recombinant DNA.
Example of application of the recombinant DNA technology: obtaining medicines.

2. PCR.
Aim: Obtaining a lot of copies of a segment of DNA.

3. DNA sequencing.
Aim: determining the order of the bases of the DNA.

4. Cloning.
Aim: obtaining identical copies of a molecule, a cell or an organism.
There are two types of cloning: reproductive and therapeutic.

4º ESO. Unit 7: Matter and energy in ecosystems.

Study plan: Week 1: Day 1 Explanation of pages 118 and 119 of the book. A trophic level consist of all the organisms in an ecosystem which feed in the same way. These are: Producers. Consumers. Decomposers. Whatch these videos about trophic levels and their relationships in an ecosystem: trophic chains and trophic networks. Later on watching the videos above do the activities of page 119 in your notebook. Day 2 Pages 120 and 121 of the book. Transfer of matter and energy in ecosystems. Main ideas: MATTER flows in an ecosystem in a closed circuit. 1º) Plants and other photosynthetic organisms capture the sun's energy and use it to synthesize energy-rich molecules (mainly sugars). These organisms are called PRODUCERS . 2º) The organisms that consume the producers (called CONSUMERS ) derive energy and materials from breaking down the producers’ molecules, use them to ...
