    Study Notes

    Cellular Respiration

    • Definition: Process by which cells convert glucose into energy (ATP) in the form of ATP
    • Types:
      • Aerobic Respiration: Occurs in the presence of oxygen, produces 36-38 ATP
      • Anaerobic Respiration: Occurs in the absence of oxygen, produces 2 ATP
    • Stages:
      1. Glycolysis: Breaks down glucose into pyruvate, produces 2 ATP
      2. Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle): Breaks down pyruvate into ATP, NADH, and FADH2
      3. Electron Transport Chain: Generates ATP from NADH and FADH2
    • Importance: Essential for energy production in cells

    Digestive System

    • Function: Breaks down food into nutrients for absorption and utilization by the body
    • Organs:
      • Mouth: Mechanical and chemical digestion of food
      • Esophagus: Transports food to the stomach
      • Stomach: Chemical digestion of food, breaks down proteins
      • Small Intestine: Absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream
      • Large Intestine: Water absorption, electrolyte balance, and waste elimination
    • Digestive Enzymes:
      • Amylase: Breaks down carbohydrates
      • Lipase: Breaks down fats
      • Protease: Breaks down proteins

    Circulatory System

    • Function: Transports oxygen and nutrients to cells, removes waste products
    • Components:
      • Heart: Pumps blood throughout the body
      • Arteries: Carry oxygenated blood away from the heart
      • Veins: Carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart
      • Blood: Transports oxygen, nutrients, and waste products
    • Blood Pressure: Regulated by the heart, blood vessels, and kidneys
    • Importance: Essential for delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells and removing waste products

    Photosynthesis

    • Definition: Process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy
    • Equation: 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2
    • Stages:
      1. Light-Dependent Reactions: Convert light energy into ATP and NADPH
      2. Light-Independent Reactions (Calvin Cycle): Use ATP and NADPH to produce glucose
    • Importance: Produces oxygen, supports life on Earth, and provides energy for food chains

    Cellular Respiration

    • Definition: Cellular Respiration is the process that converts glucose into energy (ATP) in the form of ATP
    • There are two types of Cellular Respiration: Aerobic Respiration and Anaerobic Respiration
    • Aerobic Respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen, producing 36-38 ATP
    • Anaerobic Respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen, producing 2 ATP
    • The process of Cellular Respiration involves three stages: Glycolysis, Citric Acid Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain
    • Glycolysis breaks down glucose into pyruvate, producing 2 ATP
    • Citric Acid Cycle breaks down pyruvate into ATP, NADH, and FADH2
    • Electron Transport Chain generates ATP from NADH and FADH2
    • Cellular Respiration is essential for energy production in cells

    Digestive System

    • The Esophagus transports food to the Stomach
    • The Stomach is responsible for chemical digestion of food, breaking down proteins
    • The Small Intestine is responsible for the absorption of nutrients into the bloodstream

    Photosynthesis

    • Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy
    • The equation for Photosynthesis is: 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2
    • Photosynthesis involves two stages: Light-Dependent Reactions and Light-Independent Reactions
    • Light-Dependent Reactions convert light energy into ATP and NADPH
    • Light-Independent Reactions (Calvin Cycle) use ATP and NADPH to produce glucose
    • Photosynthesis is essential for producing oxygen, supporting life on Earth, and providing energy for food chains

    Balancing Equations

    • Balancing equations ensures the law of conservation of mass is upheld, as matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
    • The steps to balance an equation are: writing the unbalanced equation, counting atoms of each element, identifying unbalanced elements, adding coefficients to balance, and checking the equation.
    • Tips for balancing equations include balancing elements in multiple formulas last, elements in single formulas first, and using fractional coefficients as a last resort.

    Oxidation-Reduction (Redox) Reactions

    • Oxidation is the loss of one or more electrons by an atom, molecule, or ion.
    • Reduction is the gain of one or more electrons by an atom, molecule, or ion.
    • An oxidizing agent is a substance that causes oxidation to occur, often by accepting electrons.
    • A reducing agent is a substance that causes reduction to occur, often by donating electrons.
    • To identify oxidation and reduction, look for an increase in oxidation number (oxidation) or a decrease in oxidation number (reduction).
    • Oxidation and reduction can be identified by electron loss or gain.

    Types of Redox Reactions

    • Combustion reactions involve the reaction of a substance with oxygen, often releasing heat and light.
    • Synthesis reactions involve the combination of two or more substances to form a new compound.
    • Decomposition reactions involve the breakdown of a single substance into two or more simpler substances.

    Balancing Redox Equations

    • Use the half-reaction method to balance redox equations by separating and balancing oxidation and reduction reactions independently.
    • Use the oxidation number method to assign oxidation numbers to atoms, helping to identify oxidation and reduction reactions.
