🟢 Section B: European Art

Realism, Impressionism and Post-Impressionism

During the mid to late nineteenth century, European art underwent a radical transformation. Artists began to reject traditional academic approaches that focused on idealized subjects, precise perspective, and polished techniques. Instead, they turned toward modern life, experimenting with composition, color, light, and subject matter. This shift is clearly visible in the work of Jean-François Millet, Claude Monet, Mary Cassatt, and Vincent van Gogh.

🎨 Realism: Jean-François Millet

Grade 9 Math Final Review

Rational Numbers

A rational number is any positive or negative number that can be written as a fraction. Terminating and repeating decimals are always rational because they can be expressed as fractions.

• Adding and Subtracting: Find a common denominator. (e.g., 2/4 + 3/8 = 4/8 + 3/8 = 7/8)
• Multiplying: Reduce before multiplying if possible. (e.g., 11/8 * 6/22 = 1/4 * 3/2 = 3/8)
• Dividing: Use the Keep, Change, Flip method. Keep the first fraction, change division to multiplication, and flip the second fraction.

Converting Between Forms

• Decimal to Fraction: Write the decimal over 1. Count the digits after the decimal and multiply the numerator and denominator by the corresponding power of 10 (e.g., 100 for two digits). Simplify

Human Digestive System

Two Types of Digestion

• Mechanical digestion: The physical breakdown of food.
  • Examples: Chewing in the mouth, churning in the stomach, and segmentation in the small intestine.
• Chemical digestion: Breaking down molecules with enzymes and acids.
  • Examples: Salivary amylase in the mouth, pepsin in the stomach, and pancreatic enzymes in the small intestine.

The GI Tract Path

Mouth → Pharynx → Esophagus → Stomach → Small Intestine → Large Intestine → Rectum → Anus.

Accessory Organs and Their Roles

• Salivary glands: Produce saliva.
• Liver: Produces bile.
• Gallbladder: Stores and concentrates bile.
• Pancreas: Produces digestive enzymes and bicarbonate.

Digestive Juices and Functions

• Saliva: Moistens food and initiates carbohydrate

Human Reproductive System Anatomy

Male Reproductive System Components

• Testes: Produce sperm and testosterone.
• Epididymis: Sperm mature and are stored here.
• Ductus (vas) deferens: Carries sperm from the epididymis toward the urethra.
• Urethra: A tube that carries semen out of the body.
• Penis: Deposits semen and also allows urine to leave the body.
• Accessory glands:
  • Seminal vesicles: Add fructose-rich fluid for energy.
  • Prostate gland: Adds alkaline fluid to help protect sperm.
  • Bulbourethral glands: Add lubricating mucus and help neutralize the urethra.

The Pathway of Sperm

Testes → epididymis → vas deferens → ejaculatory duct → urethra → penis → out of body.

Sperm Structure and Fertilization Role

• Head: Contains the nucleus and acrosome.
• Acrosome:
