Study Notes
Environmental Awareness and Biology
- Plastic is non-biodegradable and cannot decompose naturally.
- Advocating for the use of cloth or paper bags helps reduce plastic pollution.
- Morning glory flowers bloom at sunrise and close by sunset.
- Polar bears and penguins thrive in cold climates.
- Photosynthesis and respiration contribute to atmospheric balance of carbon dioxide and oxygen.
True or False Statements
- Herbivores cannot prepare their own food (False).
- Fungi and bacteria require magnification to be visible (False).
- Sunflowers orient towards the east in the morning (True).
- Camels possess no sweat glands to conserve water (True).
- Soil acts as a vital biotic component of the ecosystem (True).
Multiple Choice Highlights
- Biotic environments include producers, consumers, and decomposers.
- Organisms that utilize light for food synthesis are called autotrophs.
- Decomposers consist of bacteria and fungi.
- Aluminium foil is classified as non-biodegradable.
- Vermicomposting uses worms for organic matter decomposition.
- Camels have adaptations that allow them to withstand desert heat.
Nutritional Science
- Food is essential for the growth and survival of living organisms.
- Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble; B and C are water-soluble.
- A deficiency in vitamin B1 can lead to Beri-Beri.
- Vitamin K plays a key role in blood clotting.
- Dietary fibers constitute 15% to 20% of blood.
Deficiency Diseases
- Vitamins and minerals are essential building blocks (True).
- Our skin does not synthesize Vitamin E from sunlight (False).
- Phosphorous deficiency can cause anemia (True).
- Balanced nutrition should contain all essential components (True).
- Kwashiorkor results from protein deficiency (False).
Matter and States
- Classification is the method of grouping objects with similar properties.
- Matter has both mass and occupies space.
- Gases consist of particles that have little attraction towards one another.
- Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through.
- Perfume diffusion illustrates how scent spreads through air.
Separation Techniques
- Hand picking is commonly used for cleaning grains.
- Common salt is mass-produced via evaporation.
- Tea leaves are separated from brewed tea using sieving.
- Sedimentation can be accelerated using a technique called loading.
- Centrifugation separates fine particles suspended in liquids.
Physical and Chemical Changes
- Irreversible changes create permanent alterations in substances.
- Physical changes can revert to the original state, such as bending an iron rod.
- Fast reversible changes include the burning of fuel, while rusting is a slow process.
- New substances formed during chemical changes exhibit different properties.
General Understanding
- Fast changes include phenomena like bursts of firecrackers, while growth is gradual.
- A substance's ability to return to its original form characterizes physical changes.
- Changes like burning paper or deforestation are irreversible, leading to permanent alterations.
- Inflating a balloon is an example of a reversible change, whereas the growth of a child exemplifies an irreversible change.
