Study Notes
Primary Functions of Lenses
- Concave lenses diverge light rays, causing them to spread out. Used in applications like glasses for nearsightedness.
- Convex lenses converge light rays, bringing them together to a focal point. Commonly used in magnifying glasses and cameras.
Simple and Compound Machines
- A simple machine consists of basic mechanical devices like levers, pulleys, or inclined planes that make work easier. Example: lever.
- A compound machine is a combination of two or more simple machines working together. Example: bicycle.
Cellular Organelles
- Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, converting nutrients into energy (ATP) through cellular respiration.
- Chloroplasts are essential for photosynthesis in plant cells, converting sunlight into chemical energy using chlorophyll.
Summary of Cell Functions
- Mitochondria function primarily to produce energy that fuels cellular activities.
- Chloroplasts enable plants to harness sunlight, contributing to growth and energy storage.
