Study Notes

Respiratory System

Responsible for gas exchange: oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Air filtration and warming performed by the nasal cavity.
Typical air pathway: nose > nasal passage > trachea > bronchi > bronchioles > alveoli.
Inhalation involves diaphragm movement downwards and expansion of the chest cavity.
Avoiding smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, and staying hydrated help prevent respiratory issues.

Circulatory System

Heart is the primary organ; it pumps oxygen-rich blood and maintains circulation.
Coronary circulation involves blood movement through the heart tissues.
Valves prevent backflow of blood within the heart.
Heart functions: right ventricle sends blood to lungs; left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to the body.
Atherosclerosis limits oxygen-rich blood flow, particularly dangerous in coronary arteries due to heart attack risk.

Genetics and Heredity

Basic unit of heredity is the gene; DNA is the hereditary material.
Dominant alleles mask recessive alleles, with specific traits appearing in offspring (e.g., red flowers dominate over white).
Codominance expresses both alleles in heterozygotes, exemplified by roan cattle.
ABO blood groups are controlled by multiple alleles, with O type being recessive.

Evolution and Ecology

Extinction occurs when the last member of a species dies.
Introduction of wolves in Yellowstone helped control elk population and ecosystem balance.
Deforestation involves clearing forests for agriculture or urban use, leading to ecological concerns.
Conservation biologists work on protecting endangered species and studying ecosystems.

Environmental Science

Acid deposition results from sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide combining with water, leading to environmental acidity.
Air pollution affects climate and ozone depletion.
Photosynthesis equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2; oxygen is a waste product.
Chlorophyll's location facilitates light energy absorption for photosynthesis.

Cellular Respiration

Krebs cycle starts with Acetyl-CoA production.
End products of Krebs include ATP, NADH, FADH.
Cramps during exercise can result from lactic acid fermentation.
Oxidative phosphorylation generates the most ATP in cellular respiration.
