Study Notes
Heat and Temperature
- Describes the concepts of hotness and coldness
- Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold an object is
- Heat is the transfer of thermal energy from one object to another
Difference between Heat and Temperature
- Heat is the amount of thermal energy an object possesses, measured in joules (J)
- Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the particles within an object, measured in degrees Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F)
Thermometer
- A device used to measure temperature
- Clinical Thermometer measures body temperature, usually in °C
- Laboratory Thermometer measures temperature for experiments and other purposes, usually in °C
Precautions for Thermometers
- Always hold the thermometer by the stem to avoid affecting the reading
- Before use, ensure the mercury level is below the bulb
- Clean the thermometer with alcohol after each use
- Avoid using a clinical thermometer for anything other than body temperature
- Always use a laboratory thermometer for other purposes
Modes of Heat Transfer
- Conduction: Heat transfer through direct contact between substances
- Convection: Heat transfer through the movement of fluids (liquids and gases)
- Radiation: Heat transfer through electromagnetic waves, which can travel through a vacuum.
Heat and Fashion
- Insulation is vital in keeping warm or cool in diverse climates.
- Blankets provide insulation by trapping air and preventing heat loss
- Thermal Clothing contains materials that efficiently trap heat and prevent heat loss.
Cellular Respiration
- A metabolic process where cells break down nutrients to produce energy (ATP) and release waste products.
- Occurs in two main types: aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Aerobic Respiration
- Requires oxygen.
- Produces ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.
- Occurs in three main stages: glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain.
Anaerobic Respiration
- Occurs in the absence of oxygen.
- Less efficient than aerobic respiration, producing less ATP.
- Produces different end products depending on the organism: lactic acid (in animals), or ethanol and CO2 (in yeast).
Glycolysis
- Occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.
- Breaks down glucose (6 carbon sugar) into two pyruvate molecules (3 carbon molecules).
- Produces a net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH.
Krebs Cycle (Citric Acid Cycle)
- Occurs in the mitochondrial matrix.
- Processes pyruvate into ATP, NADH, and FADH2.
- Releases carbon dioxide as a waste product.
- Produces 1 ATP per cycle.
Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
- Occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
- Uses energy from electrons to pump protons (H+) across the membrane, creating a concentration gradient.
- ATP is synthesized by ATP synthase as protons flow back into the mitochondrial matrix.
- Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor and forms water.
Energy Yield
- Aerobic respiration yields approximately 30-32 ATP molecules per glucose molecule.
- Anaerobic respiration yields only about 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule.
Importance
- Essential for producing energy required for cellular processes, such as growth, repair, and movement.
- Plays a crucial role in various metabolic pathways and biosynthesis.
- Enables organisms to adapt and survive in environments with varying oxygen availability.
