Study Notes
Organ and System
- Organs are specialized structures that perform specific functions, such as the stomach, which digests food, secretes gastric juice, and contracts to mix food with enzymes.
- Organs are part of organ systems, which carry out specific processes or phenomena.
Cell Organelles
- Cell organelles are specialized for contraction, secretion, conducting water, and translocating sugar and proteins.
Biological Method
- Science is a systematized knowledge that involves experimental inquiry, beginning with chance observation.
- Observations can be qualitative or quantitative, with quantitative observations being more accurate.
- Hypotheses are tentative explanations of observations, formulated through deductive or inductive reasoning.
Hypothesis and Reasoning
- A hypothesis is a tentative explanation of observations, which can be formulated through deductive or inductive reasoning.
- Deductive reasoning moves from the general to the specific, drawing specific conclusions from general principles or assumptions.
- Inductive reasoning involves making general conclusions from specific observations.
Environmental Pollution
- Environmental pollution is a significant problem, with industrial waste and eluents containing toxic materials, posing threats to human health and the ecosystem.
- Bioremediation, which involves the removal or degradation of pollutants by living organisms, is being investigated as a solution.
Biology and Human Welfare
- Biology has helped attract attention to environmental pollution and has led to efforts to find solutions.
- Biologists are working to protect endangered species and develop ways to reduce pollution.
Biological Molecules
- Biochemistry is the study of chemical components and processes in living organisms.
- Biological molecules are constantly being broken down and rebuilt in cells, with anabolic and catabolic reactions working together to maintain life.
Importance of Carbon
- Carbon is the basic element of organic compounds, occupying a central position in the skeleton of life due to its unique properties.
