Study Notes

Biology

  • Definition: Study of living organisms and their interactions with the environment.
  • Key Concepts:
    • Cell Theory: All living things are composed of cells; the cell is the basic unit of life.
    • Genetics: Study of heredity and variation; focus on DNA, genes, and chromosomes.
    • Evolution: Process through which species change over time via natural selection.
    • Ecosystems: Interactions among organisms and their environment; includes biotic and abiotic components.
    • Homeostasis: Mechanisms that maintain stable internal conditions in organisms.

Chemistry

  • Definition: Study of matter, its properties, composition, and changes.
  • Key Concepts:
    • Atoms and Molecules: Basic building blocks of matter; atoms combine to form molecules.
    • Elements and Compounds: Elements are pure substances; compounds consist of two or more elements chemically bonded.
    • Chemical Reactions: Processes that involve rearrangement of atoms; includes reactants and products.
    • Acids and Bases: Acids donate protons (H+), bases accept protons; measured using pH scale.
    • Periodic Table: Organized chart of elements; shows atomic number, symbol, and group properties.

Physics

  • Definition: Study of matter, energy, and the fundamental forces of nature.
  • Key Concepts:
    • Motion and Forces: Newton’s laws of motion describe how objects move and interact.
    • Energy: Capacity to do work; forms include kinetic, potential, thermal, and chemical energy.
    • Waves: Disturbances that transfer energy through space; includes sound, light, and water waves.
    • Thermodynamics: Study of heat transfer and its relation to work; includes laws of thermodynamics.
    • Electromagnetism: Study of electric and magnetic fields and their interactions; basis for technologies like motors and generators.

Biology

  • Definition: Biology is the study of living organisms and their interactions with the environment.
  • Cell Theory: Living things are made up of cells, the basic unit of life.
  • Genetics: Studies heredity and variation; focuses on DNA, genes, and chromosomes.
  • Evolution: Species change over time through natural selection.
  • Ecosystems: Complex interactions between organisms and their environments, including biotic and abiotic factors.
  • Homeostasis: Mechanisms that maintain stable internal conditions in organisms.

Chemistry

  • Definition: Chemistry examines matter and its properties, including its composition and changes.
  • Atoms and Molecules: Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter, and they combine to form molecules.
  • Elements and Compounds: Elements are pure substances, while compounds consist of two or more elements chemically bonded together.
  • Chemical Reactions: Processes involving rearrangements of atoms, with reactants transforming into products.
  • Acids and Bases: Acids donate protons (H+), while bases accept protons; the pH scale measures acidity and alkalinity.
  • Periodic Table: This organized chart displays elements based on their atomic number, symbol, and group properties.

Physics

  • Definition: Physics explores matter, energy, and the fundamental forces of nature.
  • Motion and Forces: Newton’s laws of motion explain how objects move and interact with forces.
  • Energy: The capacity for work; different forms include kinetic, potential, thermal, and chemical energy.
  • Waves: Disturbances that transfer energy through space, such as sound, light, and water waves.
