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:
- Glycolysis: Breaks down glucose into pyruvate, produces 2 ATP
- Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs Cycle): Breaks down pyruvate into ATP, NADH, and FADH2
- 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:
- Light-Dependent Reactions: Convert light energy into ATP and NADPH
- 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 Digestive System breaks down food into nutrients for absorption and utilization by the body
- The Digestive System consists of several organs: Mouth, Esophagus, Stomach, Small Intestine, and Large Intestine
- The Mouth is responsible for mechanical and chemical digestion of food
- 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
- The Large Intestine is responsible for water absorption, electrolyte balance, and waste elimination
- The Digestive System uses three types of Digestive Enzymes: Amylase, Lipase, and Protease
- Amylase breaks down carbohydrates
- Lipase breaks down fats
- Protease breaks down proteins
Circulatory System
- The Circulatory System transports oxygen and nutrients to cells, and removes waste products
- The Circulatory System consists of the Heart, Arteries, Veins, and Blood
- The 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 is regulated by the Heart, Blood Vessels, and Kidneys
- The Circulatory System is essential for delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells and removing waste products
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.
