    Study Notes

    Grade 10 Biology

    • Cells are the fundamental units of life, containing organelles with specific functions.
    • The nucleus controls cell activities.
    • Mitochondria produce energy.
    • Plant cells have cell walls and chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
    • Animal cells do not have cell walls or chloroplasts.
    • Genetics is the study of heredity.
    • Genes, segments of DNA, carry instructions for traits.
    • Alleles are different forms of a gene.
    • Dominant alleles express their trait even with a recessive allele present.
    • Recessive alleles only express their trait with two copies.
    • Ecosystems are interconnected systems of living and non-living components.
    • Energy flows via food chains and webs.
    • Producers capture energy from the Sun.
    • Consumers obtain energy by eating other organisms.
    • Evolution is the process of change in species over time.
    • Natural selection is a key mechanism; organisms with advantageous traits survive and reproduce more.
    • Human Biology examines human body systems (e.g., digestive, respiratory, circulatory, nervous).
    • Focus on organ functions and interactions.
    • Understanding health and disease.

    Grade 10 Chemistry

    • Matter is made of atoms.
    • Atoms have protons, neutrons, and electrons.
    • Elements are pure substances, composed of one type of atom.
    • The periodic table organizes elements by properties.
    • Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms.
    • Reactants form products.
    • Chemical equations represent reactions.
    • Acids donate hydrogen ions (H+).
    • Bases accept hydrogen ions.
    • The pH scale measures acidity/basicity.
    • Neutral solutions have a pH of 7.
    • Organic Chemistry focuses on carbon-containing compounds.
    • Carbon forms complex molecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids).
    • Matter exists as solids, liquids, and gases.
    • Properties like shape and volume differ in each state.
    • Phase changes (melting, freezing, vaporization, condensation) occur.

    Grade 10 Climate Change

    • The greenhouse effect traps heat, essential for life.
    • Greenhouse gases (GHGs) include carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.
    • Increased GHGs due to human activities cause global warming.
    • Burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes release GHGs.
    • Rising global temperatures cause changes in weather patterns.
    • Increased frequency/intensity of heatwaves, droughts, floods, and storms are impacts.
    • Glacial melt is a concern.
    • Damaged ecosystems, biodiversity loss, and human health impacts are consequences.
    • Mitigation strategies include using renewable energy, efficiency, and sustainable land use.
    • Adaptation includes flood defenses, drought-resistant crops, and resilient infrastructure.
    • Global cooperation is crucial for emission reduction.

    Grade 10 Optics

    • Light is an electromagnetic wave, traveling at a constant speed.
    • Light reflects off surfaces (angle of incidence equals angle of reflection).
    • Light bends when passing between mediums (refraction).
    • Plane mirrors and curved mirrors reflect light to create images.
    • Prisms disperse white light; lenses refract to form images.
    • Images can be real or virtual, upright or inverted.
    • Optical instruments (microscopes, telescopes, cameras) use reflection and refraction.
    • Refractive index quantifies bending.
    • Lenses (convex and concave) use refraction to focus light.
    • Lasers and fiber optics are technological applications of light.
