Study Notes
Photosynthesis
- Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy (glucose)
- This process uses carbon dioxide and water as reactants and releases oxygen as a by-product.
Oxygen Production in Photosynthesis
- The oxygen released during photosynthesis is derived from water molecules.
Population Size Factors
- Variation, disease, and the availability of food are all factors that significantly impact population size.
- Migration can also influence population size, but it has a lesser impact compared to the other factors.
Sex Determination
- The sex of a baby is determined by the father's sex cell (sperm).
- The father's sperm can carry either an X or a Y chromosome.
- A baby will be a girl (XX) if the sperm carries an X chromosome.
- A baby will be a boy (XY) if the sperm carries a Y chromosome.
Dominant and Recessive Characters
- Dominant and recessive characters are located at the same locus (position) of a homologous chromosome (a pair of chromosomes with the same genes).
Monocot Identification
- Most monocots are easily identified by their long and sword-like leaves.
Social Behavior and Organization
- Mammals exhibit complex social behavior and organization.
Energy Flow in Ecosystems
- Producers (plants) have the highest percentage of energy within an ecosystem.
Blood Glucose Regulation
- Insulin is a hormone that regulates the amount of glucose in the blood.
Meiosis in Flowering Plants
- Meiosis in flowering plants results in the formation of gametophytes.
Agricultural Ecosystems
- Biotic components of an agricultural ecosystem include crops, pests, and beneficial insects.
Earthworm Excretion
- Nephridia in earthworms are part of the excretory system, responsible for removing waste products from the body.
Hepatic Portal Vein
- The hepatic portal vein carries blood from the alimentary canal (digestive system) to the liver.
Radial Symmetry
- Animals with radial symmetry have body parts arranged around a central axis, like a starfish.
Overcrowding Effects
- Overcrowding can lead to increased mortality due to competition for resources.
Flagella and Cilia in Invertebrates
- Flagella and cilia are found in protists, which are single-celled organisms.
Physiological Variation in Humans
- Physiological variation in humans is evident in physical appearance, height, weight, and the ability to roll the tongue.
Carbon Cycle
- Nitrate formation is not part of the carbon cycle. The carbon cycle includes:
- Organic carbon: carbon stored in living organisms and their remains.
- Decomposition: breakdown of organic carbon into inorganic forms.
- Photosynthesis: conversion of inorganic carbon (CO₂) into organic carbon (sugars).
Temperature Measurement
- A thermometer is used to measure temperature.
Theory of Evolution
- Charles Darwin proposed the theory of evolution, which states that all living organisms share a common ancestor.
Roughage in Mammal Diets
- Roughage in the diet of mammals helps ease digestion.
Inheritable Diseases
- Poliomyelitis is not an inheritable disease. Inheritable diseases are passed down through genes, while poliomyelitis is caused by a virus.
Blood Group Compatibility
- Individuals with blood group AB are universal recipients and can receive blood from those in blood groups A, B, AB, and O.
Fish Streamline Shape Adaptation
- The streamline shape of fish is an adaptation for easy movement through water.
Ecosystem Components
- The solid part of the ecosystem is referred to as the lithosphere.
Syphilis Cause
- Syphilis is caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum.
Universal Recipients
- Universal recipients have blood group AB.
Estuarine Habitat Adaptations
- Organisms in estuarine habitats are adapted to withstand wide fluctuations in salinity.
Desert Plant Water Conservation Adaptation
- Spiny leaves are a structural adaptation of desert plants for water conservation.
Simplest Living Organism
- Among the choices provided, Amoeba is considered the simplest living organism.
