Study Notes
Atoms
Atom is perhaps the smallest particle of any chemical element that can exist independently. It's the basic unit of every matter, including all living things and everything around us. In addition, it is known as the building block of molecular structures and compounds. Most elements consist entirely of one type of atom, while some atoms combine with others to form molecules.
There are three main types of particles within an atom:
-
Nucleus: This is where protons and neutrons reside, collectively referred to as nucleons. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons don't carry any electric charge. The number of protons determines the atomic number of an element.
[Z = \frac{N}{A}\ ]
-
Electron cloud or Orbitals: These are areas located outside the nucleus where electrons travel or orbit around the nucleus like planets orbiting stars. There are different kinds of orbitals based on their energy levels and shapes.
The behavior of electrons within these orbitals plays a significant role in determining the properties and reactivity of different chemicals. For example, metals generally have more loosely bound electrons which makes them good conductors of electricity and heat.
Forces Between Atoms
Forces between atoms play a crucial role in understanding how they interact with each other and form various substances. Gravity, although weak compared to other forces, holds Earth together due to its massiveness. However, for smaller scales like atoms, there are other stronger forces such as electrostatic force, nuclear force, and covalent bonding:
-
Electrostatic Force: This is the interaction between charged particles—protons having a positive charge and electrons carrying negative charges. It causes repulsion when both have opposite signs, but attraction when they share the same sign. Since electrons tend to move towards low energy states, this force helps determine whether two atoms will bind or remain separate.
-
Covalent Bonding: When two nonmetal atoms share their valence electrons, either by giving up some to the other or taking some from the other, this results in a shared pair of electrons. This sharing creates a stable state called the covalent bond. Covalent bonds help hold individual atoms together in a larger structure.
The strength of the covalent bond increases dramatically if the atoms being joined have a large difference in electronegativity; one atom attracts the bonded pair of electrons much more strongly than the other does.
These forces between atoms lead to the formation of molecules, ionic compounds, and even whole materials we see all around us. They also influence the properties of those materials, making some strong and brittle while others soft yet malleable.
Cell Biology
Cell Biology deals with the study of cells and their organelles. A typical animal cell contains several distinct parts:
-
Plasma Membrane: Also known as cytoplasmic membrane, this is a selective barrier that controls what enters and leaves the cell.
-
Cytoplasm: This is the gelatinous substance inside the plasma membrane containing many structures and organelles involved in cellular functions.
-
Nucleus: This is the control center of the cell, containing DNA responsible for encoding genetic information.
Some important organelles within the cytoplasm include:
- Mitochondria – Produce most of the cell’s supply of ATP through cellular respiration process.
- Endoplasmic Reticulum - Responsible for protein synthesis and lipid production, and has roles in calcium storage and detoxification.
- Golgi Apparatus – Packages proteins and lipids produced inside the endoplasmic reticulum into vesicles that are sent to other locations inside or outside the cell.
- Lysosomes – Contain digestive enzymes and function in breaking down old or damaged cell components, pathogens, and foreign material.
- Centrioles – Help organize microtubules during mitosis and meiosis, forming the spindle fibers necessary for chromosome movement.
Cells communicate using hormones and neurotransmitters that diffuse throughout the body. Hormones act over longer distances and timescales, influencing physiological processes, whereas neuronal signals propagate rapidly across synapses.
Scientists continue exploring new insights into the functioning of cells, exposing complex interactions among the thousands of molecules present in cells. Recent studies suggest that cells may communicate in ways beyond traditional methods involving diffusion and electrical signals.
Science As An Area Of Study
Science is an area of study that involves systematic observation and experimentation seeking explanations consistent with evidence acquired using empirical methodologies. Scientific knowledge rests upon publicly verifiable sources and reproducibility of experiments. Several disciplines constitute science, covering various aspects of nature, ranging from physics and astronomy to chemistry, life sciences, geology, and psychology.
In essence, science entails asking a question, gathering data through observations or experiments, analyzing the findings, drawing conclusions, and communicating results. This iterative approach allows scientists to refine our understanding of natural phenomena continuously.
Moreover, science provides tools for interpreting our surroundings realistically without merely accepting myths passed down generations. By probing deep into reality via scientific investigation, humanity has discovered countless interesting and useful facts about existence.
