Study Notes
Functions of Life (Nutrition and Respiration)
- Plants produce food through photosynthesis, and also respire, releasing CO2. Animals obtain energy through digestion.
- Photosynthesis uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
- Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, containing chlorophyll.
- The formula for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
Internal and External Adaptations of Leaves
- Large leaf surface area maximizes light absorption for photosynthesis, especially in locations with abundant sunlight.
- Thin leaves minimize the diffusion distance for CO2 and O2.
- Veins transport water to all leaf parts and carry away glucose.
- Stomata allow gas exchange (CO2 in, O2 out).
- Transparent, waxy cuticles protect leaves from excessive water loss and prevent damage.
- Epidermis, one cell thick, allows sunlight to penetrate. Guard cells regulate stomata opening and closing.
- Palisade layer, rich in chloroplasts, is situated to effectively absorb sunlight.
Diagrammatic Representation of a Leaf Cross-Section
- The diagram illustrates the leaf's anatomy.
- Key structures include the upper epidermis, cuticle, palisade mesophyll, spongy mesophyll, lower epidermis, stomata, guard cells, xylem, and phloem.
- Spongy mesophyll contains air spaces for gas exchange and provides structural support.
Factors Affecting Photosynthesis
- Abiotic factors, like light intensity, CO2 levels, and temperature, influence photosynthesis.
- Light intensity affects photosynthesis rates; excessive light can damage leaves.
- Higher CO2 levels typically increase photosynthetic rates.
- Optimal temperatures promote enzyme activity for photosynthesis.
Oxygen Production Experiment
- Materials: aquatic plant, test tube, water, Sodium hydrogen carbonate, funnel, and splint.
- Method: Place plant in water with sodium hydrogen carbonate. Cover the plant with an inverted tube containing water.
- Results: Oxygen production (tested with a glowing splint) indicates successful photosynthesis.
Holozoic Nutrition
- Ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation, and egestion are the stages involved in holozoic nutrition.
- The alimentary canal, from mouth to anus, is the pathway for digestion
- Glands and hormones facilitate digestion and nutrient processing.
- Villi and microvilli increase the small intestine's surface area for efficient nutrient absorption.
Physical/Chemical Digestion
- Mechanical breakdown of food (chewing).
- Chemical breakdown involves enzymes altering food molecules for absorption.
- Digestion proceeds in the digestive tract; both mechanical and chemical processes involved.
- Digestive enzymes like amylase, pepsin, and bile have specific roles in digestion.
Enzymes
- Enzymes speed up chemical reactions.
- They are proteins, and don't get consumed in the reaction.
- Enzymes act on substrates, forming a complex.
- Enzyme activity is influenced by temperature, pH, and substrate concentration.
- Poisons can inhibit enzyme function through blocking active sites.
Cellular Respiration
- Cellular respiration involves combining oxygen and food molecules to produce ATP (energy).
- CO2 and water are released as waste products.
- ATP acts as the primary energy currency for cells.
- Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, and anaerobic does not.
- Anaerobic respiration produces comparatively fewer ATPs (2 vs. 36-38).
Alcoholic and Lactic Acid Fermentation
- Both processes are anerobic respiration pathways.
- Alcoholic fermentation produces ethanol and CO2 (yeast).
- Lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid (animals).
