Study Notes
Chemical Properties of Acids and Bases
- Activity 2.1: Collect various solutions (acids and bases) and test them with red litmus, blue litmus, phenolphthalein, and methyl orange.
- Table 2.1: Record the colour changes observed for each solution with each indicator.
- Indicators: Red litmus, blue litmus, phenolphthalein, and methyl orange are used to identify whether a substance is acidic or basic. Colour changes indicate the nature.
- Olfactory Indicators: Certain substances change odour in acidic or basic media.
Nutrition and Life Processes
- Maintenance: Life processes maintain the body's function in all life stages.
- Energy and Raw Materials: Life processes require energy and raw materials from outside the body. Energy is needed for physical and biological processes. Raw materials for growth are also needed.
- Food Sources: Food sources vary. Carbon-based molecules are common.
- Complexity of Organisms: Different organisms use different nutritional processes based on food source complexity.
- Respiration: The process used by organisms to acquire oxygen and break down foods.
- Single-celled Organisms: Nutrients, oxygen and waste removal occur directly through the surface of the cell.
- Multi-celled Organisms: Specialised tissues and organs are needed to acquire nutrients, oxygen, and manage waste.
- Transportation: Multi-cellular organisms need a system to transport substances (e.g., nutrients, oxygen) to all cells.
- Excretion: Removal of waste products that are useless or harmful in a multi-cellular organism.
