Study Notes
Unit 1 - Biology: Atoms
- Physical properties describe a substance without changing its identity, observable or measurable
- Chemical properties show a substance's ability to undergo chemical changes or reactions
- Physical changes alter appearance or form, not chemical composition
- Chemical changes alter chemical composition, creating new substances
Unit 1 - Biology: Atom Structure & Notation
- Electrons orbit the nucleus, negatively charged
- Protons are in the nucleus, positively charged
- Neutrons are in the nucleus, neutral charged
- Atomic Number (Z): Number of protons in an atom's nucleus
- Atomic Mass: Number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus
Unit 1 - Biology: Molecular Compounds
- Polyatomic ions are stable groups of atoms acting like a single ionic particle
- Their charge is shared by all atoms
- Criss-cross method is used for determining ratios
- Brackets must be used
Chapter 2 - Equations: Conservation of Mass
- Matter is neither created nor destroyed
Chapter 2 - Equations: Types of Reactions
- Synthesis: two or more substances combine to form a new substance (2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O₂ )
- Decomposition: a compound breaks down to produce two or more substances (CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂ )
- Single Displacement: one element replaces another in a compound (Zn + CuSO₄ → ZnSO₄ + Cu)
- Double Displacement: ions of two compounds exchange (HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O)
- Combustion: reaction with oxygen to form different products ( C₂H₃ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O)
Chapter 3 - Acids & Bases
- Acids are substances that react with metals and carbonates, conduct electricity, and taste sour
- Acids release hydrogen ions (H⁺) when dissolved in water (HCl → H⁺ + Cl⁻).
- Bases are substances that conduct electricity and change the color of acid-base indicators. They feel slippery and taste bitter
- Bases release hydroxide ions (OH⁻) when dissolved in water (NaOH → Na⁺ + OH⁻).
Chapter 3 - Acid Precipitation
- Acid precipitation involves precipitation that becomes acidic
- Result of emissions from industry, such as SO₂ and nitrogen oxides, mixing with moisture in the atmosphere
- Forms acids that fall to the Earth's surface. Example: acid rain with a pH below 5.6
Chapter 3 - Neutralization Reactions
- Neutralization reactions occur when an acid and a base react to form water and a salt.
- For example: HCl + NaOH → H₂O + NaCl
Chapter 1 - Cells: Plant and Animal Cells
- Prokaryotes: cells without a nucleus
- Eukaryotes: cells with a nucleus
Chapter 1 - Cells: Cell Division
- There are three important features of cell division.
Chapter 1 - Cells: Asexual Reproduction
- Offspring are genetically identical
Chapter 1 - Cells: Sexual Reproduction
- Offspring are hybrids of their parents. Involves meiosis to form gametes and fertilization.
- Meiosis produces two cells with half the number of chromosomes (for example, humans: 23 + 23 = 46)
Chapter 1 - Cells: Growth & Repair
- Cells grow by increasing the number of cells.
- Cells divide into smaller cells for efficient functioning.
- Diffusion and osmosis are crucial for cell functions with particles moving from highly concentrated to low concentrations.
Chapter 1 - Cells: Cell Cycle
- Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase and Cytokinesis
- Interphase: normal cell functions and DNA duplication occurs
- Prophase: DNA strands compact to form chromosomes.
- Metaphase: Chromosomes line up in the center of the cell.
- Anaphase: Chromosome pairs separate to opposite ends of the cell.
- Telophase: Chromosomes arrive at the poles and cytokinesis begins.
- Cytokinesis: Cell physically divides into two identical cells
Chapter 1 - Cells: Cancer
- Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and division
- Benign tumors do not spread
- Malignant tumors can spread (metastasis)
- Types of therapy include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, surgery and Biophotonics.
Unit 2 - Biology: Animal Structures
- Cells are the basic functional units of life.
- Tissues are groups of similar cells performing a similar function
- Organs are composed of different tissue types
- Organ Systems consist of one or more organs working together to carry out major body functions
- Four main tissue types: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous
Unit 2 - Biology: Stem Cells
- Differentiation: cells with exact DNA, have certain genes turned on/off
- Stem cells: unspecialized cells with the ability to become any kind of cell.
- Two forms of stem cells:
- Embryonic: able to differentiate into any type of cell.
- Tissue/Adult: able to differentiate into specific types of different cells
Unit 2 - Biology: Digestive System
- The digestive system is a muscular tube, open at both ends
- Processes digestion via mechanical and chemical means
- Accessory organs include salivary glands, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder
Unit 2 - Biology: Respiratory System
- Includes nasal passages, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli (air sacs).
- Gas exchange occurs in alveoli
- Involves inhalation/exhalation. Oxygen diffuses into the blood, carbon dioxide diffuses out.
Unit 2 - Biology: Circulatory System
- The circulatory system has a pump (heart), a fluid (blood), and vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries) to circulate blood
- Blood components include plasma and cells: red blood cells (carrying oxygen), white blood cells (defense), and platelets (blood clotting).
Unit 2 - Biology: Musculoskeletal System
- The musculoskeletal system is made up of bones, ligaments, cartilage, smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, and cardiac muscle.
- Bones provide support and structure, muscles provide movement.
Unit 2 - Biology: Nervous System
- Divided into the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system
- The central nervous system coordinates incoming and outgoing messages, protecting the brain and spinal cord
- The peripheral nervous system carries messages between the organs and the CNS; includes nerves that control voluntary muscle, senses, and involuntary functions
Unit 2 - Biology: System Interactions
- Systems that work together, including the digestive, circulatory, respiratory, and nervous systems
Unit 3 - Physics: Light
Chapter 1 - Light: What is Light
- Light is an electromagnetic wave with different wavelengths that make up the visible spectrum (400nm - 700nm)
- Light types: include incandescence, luminescence(chemiluminescence, fluorescence, phosphorescence, and triboluminescence) and light emitting diodes (LEDs)
- Ray Model of Light: Light travels in straight lines (rays)
Chapter 2 - Physics: Refraction
- Refraction is the bending of light as it passes through a different medium/substance
- Light speed changes based on the medium, bending it at the border (interface).
- Light can bend toward or away from the normal (perpendicular to the surface) depending if the light speed increases or decreases.
- When something is placed under water, the object may look bent
Chapter 3 - Physics: Lenses
- Lenses are transparent pieces of glass or plastic with at least one curved side
- Converging lenses: make light rays come together
- Diverging lenses: make light rays move apart
- Focal point is the point where parallel light rays meet/appear to diverge (converging/diverging).
Unit 4 - Climate Change: Introduction
- Introductory concepts about climate and classifying climate types
