Study Notes
The Science of Biology
- Introduces basic concepts and principles guiding biological study and inquiry.
The Chemistry of Life
- Explores molecular composition and biochemical processes vital for life, including the roles of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
The Biosphere
- Discusses Earth's diverse ecosystems and how biological, chemical, and physical factors interact within life zones.
Ecosystems and Communities
- Examines the interactions between organisms and their environments, including predator-prey dynamics and competition.
Populations
- Focuses on population dynamics, including growth rates, carrying capacity, and factors affecting population sizes.
Humans in the Biosphere
- Analyzes the impact of human activities on ecosystems, biodiversity, and the environment, emphasizing sustainability.
Cell Structure and Function
- Describes cellular components and their functions, highlighting differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Photosynthesis
- Details the process by which autotrophic organisms convert light energy into chemical energy, producing glucose and oxygen.
Cellular Respiration and Fermentation
- Explains how cells break down glucose to release energy, covering aerobic respiration, anaerobic processes, and the importance of fermentation.
Cell Growth and Division
- Investigates the processes of cell growth, division, and the regulation mechanisms involved to maintain healthy cellular function.
Cytokinesis in Animal Cells
- Describes how the cell membrane is pinched inward to separate the cytoplasm into two daughter cells post-mitosis.
Cytokinesis in Plant Cells
- Details the formation of a cell plate that develops into the cell wall, ensuring division into two distinct plant cells.
Importance of Surface Area of Cell
- Highlights how increased surface area enhances nutrient uptake and waste removal, essential for cellular efficiency.
Ratio of Surface Area to Volume
- Explains that as cell volume increases, its surface area grows at a slower rate, impacting efficiency in exchange processes.
Photosynthesis vs. Cellular Respiration
- Contrasts two processes: photosynthesis absorbs CO2 and releases O2, while cellular respiration uses O2 and emits CO2.
Exercises and Energy: Quick Energy
- Describes the reliance on stored ATP for immediate energy needs, suitable for short, intense activities.
Exercises and Energy: Short Term Energy
- Focuses on lactic acid fermentation as a quick ATP source for moderate-intensity exercise lasting up to 90 seconds.
Exercises and Energy: Long Term Energy
- Discusses the reliance on cellular respiration to sustain energy for prolonged activities after initial glycogen stores are depleted, transitioning to fat metabolism.
