Chemical elements are classified into metals and non-metals. Metals are substances that conduct electricity, can form sheets or wires, and have a luster. Non metals are all those substances that do not conduct electricity, are fragile to handling or are gases.

Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the particles that make up the atom, which is the smallest part of the element. These particles determine the characteristics and properties of the chemical elements. The protons and neutrons are concentrated in the atomic nucleus, while the electrons are distributed in the crust or the periphery of the atom. An atom has the same number of electrons and protons, while the number of neutrons is variable.

Anabolism and catabolism are the parts into which metabolism is divided. The anabolism is a synthesis reaction where energy is consumed. The catabolism is a decomposition reaction in which energy is released. Although they are two different processes, they work in a coordinated way.

Flora refers to plant species, while fauna is the term used to categorize animals. Although flora and fauna exist in almost the entire world, each set of plant and animal species responds to specific characteristics according to the geographical and climatic conditions of the region in which they develop, therefore, they are organisms that have evolved and adapted to their environment.
