Questions and Answers
What is the main difference between a chemical change and a physical change?
What is the main difference between a chemical change and a physical change?
A chemical change involves the formation of new substances, whereas a physical change only involves a change in state or form, with no new substances formed.
What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?
What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2
What is the concept of conservation of mass, and how does it relate to physical and chemical changes?
What is the concept of conservation of mass, and how does it relate to physical and chemical changes?
The concept of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one substance to another. This applies to both physical and chemical changes, where the total mass of reactants equals the total mass of products.

Study Notes
Biology
- Hierarchical organisation: living organisms are structured in a hierarchical manner, from cells to organisms
- Plant reproduction and germination: plants reproduce to produce seeds, which grow into new plants through germination
Photosynthesis and Plant Structure
- Photosynthesis: process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, releasing oxygen as a by-product
- Plant structure: includes roots, stems, leaves, and reproductive organs, each with specialized functions
Earth's Atmosphere and Human Impact
- Earth's atmosphere: composed of nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%), and trace gases, protects life and regulates climate
- Human activities: contribute to air pollution, climate change, and depletion of ozone layer
Chemistry
- Chemical changes: involve transformation of substances, often accompanied by energy changes
- Physical changes: involve changes in state or appearance, without altering chemical composition
- Conservation of mass: matter is neither created nor destroyed, only transformed during chemical reactions
Separation Techniques
- Methods used to separate mixtures, including filtration, crystallization, distillation, and chromatography
Earth's Structure and Resources
- Earth's structure: composed of crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core, with tectonic plates shaping the surface
- Earth's resources: include water, minerals, fossil fuels, and land, which are essential for human survival
Physics
- Changes in energy stores: energy can be transferred between kinetic, potential, thermal, electrical, and chemical forms
- Energy transfer: occurs through conduction, convection, and radiation
Electricity
- Electricity: form of energy resulting from the movement of charged particles, harnessed through generators and motors
Space
- Exploration of the universe, including stars, galaxies, and celestial events, revealing the vastness of the cosmos
