Biology Concepts and Terminology

This video provides a concise overview of life science, covering topics such as biomes, energy transfer, cell structure, genetics, organism classification, and evolution. It explains how energy moves through ecosystems, the structure and function of cells, the basics of genetics and heredity, the classification of organisms into kingdoms, and the theory of evolution by Charles Darwin. The video aims to summarize a year of life science education in just three minutes.
