Study Notes

Sains Alam Sekitar

  • Konsep Alam Sekitar: Interaksi antara komponen biotik (hidupan) dan abiotik (bukan hidup).
  • Ekosistem: Terdiri daripada komuniti organisma dan persekitaran fizikal mereka.
  • Kepelbagaian Biologi: Penting untuk kestabilan ekosistem dan sumber makanan.
  • Pencemaran: Kesan negatif aktiviti manusia seperti pencemaran udara, air, dan tanah.

Fizik

  • Kuantiti Fizik: Terdapat dua jenis - kuantiti skalar (contoh: suhu) dan kuantiti vektor (contoh: daya).
  • Hukum Newton: Tiga hukum pergerakan yang menerangkan hubungan antara daya dan pergerakan objek.
  • Tenaga: Terdapat dalam pelbagai bentuk seperti tenaga kinetik, potensi, haba, dan elektrik.

Kimia

  • Jadual Berkala: Pembahagian unsur mengikut nombor atom dan sifat kimia.
  • Reaksi Kimia: Proses perubahan bahan, termasuk reaksi penggantian, pembakaran, dan penguraian.
  • Asid dan Pangkalan: Asid melepaskan ion hidrogen (H+), manakala pangkalan melepaskan ion hidroksida (OH-).

Biologi

  • Sel: Unit asas kehidupan; terdiri daripada organel dengan fungsi tertentu.
  • Kereaktifan Logam: Tingkat reaktiviti berbeza antara logam; logam alkali paling reaktif, diikuti oleh logam transisi.
  • Sistem Peredaran Darah: Terdiri daripada jantung, saluran darah, dan darah; berfungsi untuk mengangkut oksigen dan nutrien ke seluruh badan.

Kereaktifan Logam

  • Kereaktifan: Logam berbeza dalam keupayaan mereka untuk bertindak balas dengan air, asid, dan oksigen.
  • Kereaktifan Logam Alkali: Sangat reaktif dengan air; menghasilkan gas hidrogen dan larutan alkali.
  • Kereaktifan Logam Transisi: Kurang reaktif berbanding logam alkali; sering digunakan dalam industri dan sebagai pemangkin.

Peredaran Darah

  • Komponen: Jantung (pam), saluran darah (arteri, vena, kapilari), dan darah (sel darah merah, sel darah putih, platelet).
  • Fungsi: Mengangkut oksigen, nutrien, hormon, dan membuang sisa metabolik.
  • Kitaran Peredaran: Terdiri daripada peredaran sistemik (darah ke seluruh badan) dan peredaran pulmonari (darah ke paru-paru).

Sistem Penjanaan Kuasa

  • Sumber Tenaga: Boleh diperbaharui (contoh: solar, angin) dan tidak diperbaharui (contoh: arang batu, gas).
  • Penjanaan Elektrik: Melibatkan penukaran tenaga mekanikal kepada tenaga elektrik menggunakan turbin.
  • Keberkesanan: Sistem penjanaan kuasa perlu cekap untuk mengurangkan pembaziran tenaga dan impak alam sekitar.

Environmental Science

  • Concept of Environment: Interaction between biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) components.
  • Ecosystem: Comprises communities of organisms and their physical environment, supporting biodiversity.
  • Biodiversity: Essential for ecosystem stability and food resource sustainability.
  • Pollution: Negative consequences of human activities including air, water, and soil pollution.

Physics

  • Physical Quantities: Two types exist; scalar quantities (e.g., temperature) and vector quantities (e.g., force).
  • Newton's Laws: Three laws of motion explaining the relationship between force and the motion of objects.
  • Energy Forms: Exists in various forms such as kinetic, potential, thermal, and electrical energy.

Chemistry

  • Periodic Table: Arrangement of elements based on atomic number and chemical properties.
  • Chemical Reactions: Processes where substances change, including substitution, combustion, and decomposition reactions.
  • Acids and Bases: Acids release hydrogen ions (H+), while bases release hydroxide ions (OH-).

Biology

  • Cell: The basic unit of life, comprising organelles with specific functions.
  • Metal Reactivity: Varies among metals; alkali metals are the most reactive, followed by transition metals.
  • Circulatory System: Includes the heart, blood vessels, and blood, responsible for transporting oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.

Metal Reactivity

  • Reactivity: Metals differ in their ability to react with water, acids, and oxygen.
  • Alkali Metal Reactivity: Highly reactive with water, producing hydrogen gas and an alkaline solution.
  • Transition Metal Reactivity: Less reactive than alkali metals; commonly utilized in industries and as catalysts.

Circulatory System

  • Components: Comprises the heart (pump), blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries), and blood (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets).
  • Functions: Transports oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products.
  • Circulation Cycle: Consists of systemic circulation (blood flow throughout the body) and pulmonary circulation (blood flow to the lungs).

Power Generation System

  • Energy Sources: Renewable sources (e.g., solar, wind) and non-renewable sources (e.g., coal, gas).
  • Electricity Generation: Involves converting mechanical energy to electrical energy using turbines.
  • Efficiency: Power generation systems must be efficient to minimize energy waste and environmental impact.
