Study Notes
Chapter 3 - Nature of Matter
- Physical properties are characteristics that can be observed without changing the matter's identity (color, odor, shape, etc.)
- Chemical properties describe a substance's ability to change into another substance through a reaction (flammability, acidity, magnetic properties, color changes)
- Phases are the different states of matter (solid, liquid, gas, plasma) and are a physical property
- Solids have a definite shape and volume, with particles moving slowly
- Liquids have a definite volume but not shape; particles can slide past each other
- Gases have no definite shape or volume; particles move freely
- Plasmas are ionized gases with free-roaming positive and negative charges (e.g., sun, stars)
Chapter 3 - Composition of Matter
- Atoms are the basic unit of matter
- The nucleus, at the atom's center, accounts for almost 100% of its mass
- Protons (positive charge), neutrons (no charge), and electrons (negative charge) are subatomic particles within the atom.
- An atom's atomic number is determined by the number of protons
- Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons
- Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons
- Cations are positively charged (loss of electrons), and anions are negatively charged (gain of electrons)
Chapter 3 - Atomic and Mass Number
- Atomic number identifies an atom and equals the number of protons in its nucleus
- Atoms of the same substance have the same atomic number
- Ions form when atoms lose or gain electrons
- Mass number is the sum of the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus
Chapter 3 - Chemical Elements
- An element consists entirely of one type of atom
- Scientists have identified 109 elements
- 90 are found in nature; 19 are artificially produced
- Elements are represented by symbols
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons; some are unstable and undergo radioactive decay
Chapter 4 - Water
- Water is a unique substance due to its physical and chemical properties
- Different temperatures affect water's density, and it expands when it freezes, which gives it unique characteristics in its liquid form
- Water molecules have uneven electron distribution which creates polar covalent bond properties as a physical property
- Water is a universal solvent and an important part of forming mixtures
Chapter 4 - Mixtures
- A mixture occurs when two or more elements or compounds are combined without chemical changes, that can physically be separated
- Homogeneous mixtures (e.g., solutions) are uniform throughout, with one substance dissolved in another
- Water's polarity makes it a great solvent
- Heterogeneous mixtures (e.g., suspensions) have uneven distributions of particles (needs to be shaken) and are visible
Chapter 4 - Acids and Bases
- Acids release hydrogen ions (H+) into solutions
- Bases release hydroxide ions (OH-) into solutions
- The pH scale measures the amount of hydrogen and hydroxide ions; it helps determine if substances are acidic, alkaline, or neutral
Chapter 4 - Chemical Compounds in Living Things
- The main elements found in living things are C, N, O, and H.
- 96.3% of the total weight of the human body makeup comprises these 4 elements varying in combination
Chapter 5 - Eukaryotic Cell Structures
- All eukaryotic cells have a cell membrane, cytoplasm, and a nucleus
- Cell Membrane: separates and controls what enters and exits the cell; is selectively permeable (acts like a filter, to allow certain things in and out)
- Cytoplasm: the liquid between the membrane and the nucleus, and contains organelles
- Nucleus: the control center, contains DNA and makes proteins
Chapter 5 - Cytoplasmic Organelles
- Mitochondria converts food into usable energy (ATP) in respiration
- Chloroplasts perform photosynthesis in plants, converting light energy into chemical energy
- Ribosomes construct proteins in the cell
- Endoplasmic reticulum modifies, transports, and stores proteins; Rough ER has ribosomes, Smooth ER doesn't
- Golgi Apparatus packages and sends molecules
- Vacuoles: stores materials, important for structure in plants
- Lysosomes digest cellular materials that are no longer needed
Chapter 5 - Cell Wall
- The cell wall is a rigid covering found in plant cells.
- It supports and protects the cell
- It has pores to allow substances to pass through the cell wall
Chapter 5 - Cytoskeleton
- The cytoskeleton is composed of filaments that support the cell
- It also aids in movement
Chapter 5 - Centrioles
- The centrioles assist in cell division
- They are found in animal cells, not plant cells
Chapter 6 - Photosynthesis
- Photosynthesis converts light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates (sugar).
- The process requires water, carbon dioxide, and light.
- The process releases oxygen.
- Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, and this powers the reactions.
Chapter 6 - Pigments
- Pigments are substances in plants that absorb light
- Chlorophyll A and B are the main pigments in plants, absorbing blue and red light and reflecting green light
- Carotenoids absorb other colors, extending the range of photosynthetic wavelengths
- Chloroplasts are organelles that contain thylakoids.
Chapter 6 - Energy Storing
- Energy is stored in ATP and NADPH
- ATP is a form of energy that is released through breaking down the phosphate bonds
Chapter 6 - Light Reactions
- Light reactions capture light energy in Chlorophyll and turn it into chemical energy
- ATP and NADPH are used in the Calvin Cycle
Chapter 6 - Cellular Respiration
- Cellular respiration breaks down glucose (carbohydrates) to release stored energy,
- Process is aerobic because it needs oxygen
- Most energy is made in the final stage, the Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
Chapter 6 - Aerobic Respiration
- It involves oxygen and breaks down food molecules to release energy
- The Krebs cycle is part of aerobic respiration, breaking down pyruvic acid, releasing energy in the form of ATP
Chapter 6 - The Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
- The ETC is where the maximum amount of ATP is created during cellular respiration
Chapter 6 - Fermentation
- Fermentation occurs in the absence of oxygen
- It creates NAD+ so that glycolysis can continue
- There are two types: alcoholic and lactic acid fermentation
