Study Notes
Chapter 1
- Basic characteristics of life include: sensitivity to stimuli, growth, ordered complexity, reproduction, energy utilization (take in and use energy), and homeostasis (maintain constant internal conditions).
- Scientific research involves forming hypotheses, testing them through experiments/observations, and drawing conclusions.
- Theory is an interconnected set of concepts supported by scientific reasoning, while hypothesis is an educated guess.
- Darwinism describes biological evolution, explaining how organisms change over time and diversify.
- Darwin's books, "On the Origin of Species" and "The Voyage of the Beagle," discussed natural selection and biological evolution.
- The human genome project aimed to map the human DNA sequence.
- Descriptive science involves observing, recording, describing, and classifying.
Chapter 2
- Matter is any substance with mass and occupies space.
- Atoms are the smallest units of an element, while molecules are groups of two or more atoms.
- Protons, located in the nucleus, have a positive charge; electrons, located in orbitals around the nucleus, have a negative charge; and neutrons have no charge.
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
- Ions are atoms with unequal numbers of protons and electrons.
- Monomers are repeating units; polymers are large molecules made from monomers.
- Isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but different arrangement of atoms.
- Reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions involve the gain or loss of electrons. Oxidation is the loss of electrons; reduction is the gain of electrons.
- Chemical bonds are attractions that hold atoms together in molecules. Types include ionic, covalent (single, double, triple), and hydrogen bonds.
Chapter 3
- Functional groups are specific groups of atoms that influence the chemical properties of compounds.
- Macromolecules (carbohydrates, nucleic acids, proteins, lipids) are large molecules made up of smaller, repeating units.
- Chitin, starch, cellulose, and amylose are examples of carbohydrates with different structures and functions.
- Dehydration reaction removes water to combine monomers; hydrolysis reaction adds water to break down polymers.
- Valence electrons are electrons in the outer shell of an atom that determine bonding behavior.
- Amino acids are monomers of proteins, joined together by peptide bonds.
- Organic molecules primarily contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.
