On the Surface
It produces the weathered rocks and their transformation into sediments, transported by geological agents and accumulated in sedimentary basins.
Inside the Earth’s Crust
The materials are subjected to high temperatures, and the sediments become rocks.

Genetic Message Expression and Protein Synthesis
Expression of the Genetic Message
The expression of the genetic message is the process by which the information encoded in DNA is used to synthesize specific proteins. These proteins, including enzymes, are responsible for the structural and functional characteristics of an organism.
Codons
Each codon, a sequence of three nucleotides, captures a specific amino acid. AUG is the initiation triplet (methionine), meaning all proteins begin with it. UAA, UAG, and UGA are termination codons, signaling the

The Emergence of the Bourgeoisie
The growth of cities transformed feudal society. Kings, nobles, and ecclesiastics granted city dwellers personal freedoms and rights, such as property ownership and self-governance. This led to the formation of a new social group, the bourgeoisie, who were not part of the privileged class. They dedicated themselves to work and crafts, independent of feudal lords.

Electrical Circuits: Components and Functionality
Core Elements
Generators and Batteries: These components generate or store electrical energy, creating a potential difference that drives current flow within a circuit. Generators convert other energy forms into electricity (e.g., dynamos and alternators). Batteries store electrical energy for later use (e.g., battery cells, capacitors).
Receivers: These components transform electrical energy into other forms like heat, light, or motion. Examples include

Cartesian Coordinate System
Frame of Reference
A frame of reference is defined by a point in space, called an origin, and a way of locating an object relative to the origin. In a Cartesian coordinate system, the way to locate an object is based on a set of perpendicular axes that intersect at the origin. To locate an object in space, we need a frame of reference with 3 axes. This year, however, we will study movement in a plane, and 2 axes will be enough.
Position
In a Cartesian coordinate system, an

- There is a growing concern with the representation of:
- Landscape and nature
