The Student and Tutor reviewed the comprehensive structure and function of the nephron. They covered the process of blood filtration, reabsorption of essential substances, and regulation of water and ion balance through various parts of the nephron, including the roles of specific hormones. The Student practiced describing the parts and their functions and watched an explanatory video.

The Tutor and Student extensively reviewed the human digestive system, covering its organs, processes of mechanical and chemical digestion, and nutrient absorption. They also briefly discussed the respiratory and excretory systems, including the functions of kidneys and nephrons. The Tutor assigned a review and test on these topics for a future class.

The Tutor and Student extensively reviewed cellular respiration, covering glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain, along with distinctions between aerobic and anaerobic processes. They also introduced the concept of heterotrophs and their classifications, with plans to delve deeper into the digestive system in the next session.

The Student and Tutor reviewed cellular respiration, focusing on its stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. They discussed the role of ATP, electron carriers (NADH, FADH2), and the overall production of ATP. The Tutor plans to conduct a test and share notes in the next session, also intending to cover anaerobic respiration.

The Student and Tutor reviewed cellular organization, differentiating between unicellular, colonial, and multicellular organisms and their hierarchical structures. The session then moved to a detailed introduction to photosynthesis, discussing its stages (light-dependent and light-independent reactions), the organelles involved, and plant adaptations like CAM photosynthesis. For future study, the Student was advised to inquire about the next school topic, either cell division or organ systems, and to register on a Nelson website for practice worksheets.

The Tutor and Student reviewed plant transport systems, specifically focusing on xylem and phloem, their structures, and mechanisms of action. They discussed water absorption, transport via root pressure, cohesion, and adhesion, as well as nutrient translocation. The Student was asked to review relevant textbook sections and inquire about the next topic, animal transport systems, for the upcoming session.
