Study Notes
Living World
- Infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites) transmitted to humans from various sources, including other humans and the environment.
- The endocrine system regulates body functions through hormones released into the bloodstream, influencing growth, sleep, and metabolism.
- Key glands include the thymus (producing thymosin for white blood cell production), parathyroid (controlling blood calcium levels), and pineal (regulating sleep patterns via melatonin).
- The excretory system removes waste products, essential for maintaining cell function and includes the respiratory, urinary, and integumentary systems.
- Nitrogenous waste from protein metabolism is processed in the liver to form urea, which is filtered by the kidneys into urine.
Chemical World
- Chemistry studies matter, its structure, properties, and behavior during chemical reactions.
- Atomic structure consists of subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons, with atomic mass concentrated in the nucleus.
- Protons give an element its identity; atomic number equals the number of protons.
- Electron configuration follows a specific distribution across shells: K (2), L (8), M (18), N (32).
- Net charge calculations reveal the balance of protons and electrons, influencing atom stability and identifying ions.
Physical World
- Newton’s Laws of Motion explain the relationship between force and motion:
- First Law: Objects remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.
- Second Law: Acceleration depends on force and mass (F=ma).
- Third Law: For every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction.
- Forces can be balanced or unbalanced, affecting object acceleration and motion.
- Speed is defined as the distance traveled over time, while acceleration measures the change in velocity over time.
Earth and Space
- Natural cycles (e.g., water, carbon) interact with global catastrophes (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions) impacting Earth's spheres.
- Plate tectonics are driven by convection currents in the semi-molten asthenosphere, resulting in landform creation and geological processes like folding and faulting.
- The Big Bang theory is supported by evidence from cosmic background radiation and the expansion of the universe, with technological advancements like telescopes aiding observations.
Working Scientifically
- Scientific diagrams facilitate understanding of complex systems and processes.
- Analyzing graphs and interpreting data from tables are crucial skills for scientific inquiry and understanding trends in data.
- The utilization of seismometers and GPS technology enhances earthquake detection, tracking tectonic movements for preparedness and hazard assessment.
