Study Notes
Magnetism
- Iron, cobalt, nickel and other rare earth metals have magnetic properties
- Magnetic forces work in the magnetic field
- North attracts to south
- Mass is a measure of matter (kg)
- Weight is a measure of force (N)
Energy
- Energy is the ability to cause change or do work, measured in Joules (j) or kilojoules (kJ)
- Types of energy include heat, electromagnetic, electrical, sound, kinetic, potential, chemical, mechanical, magnetic and many more forms of energy
- Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, and depends on the speed and mass of the object.
- Potential energy is stored energy, which has the potential to cause change
Heat Energy
- Heat energy is transferred by conduction, convection and radiation
- Conduction: Transferring heat between objects through collision into neighbouring molecules and atoms
- Convection: The movement of particles through a substance, transporting their heat energy from hotter areas to cooler areas
- Radiation: Travels as a wave from a heated surface in all directions
Electrical Energy
- Electrical charges can be caused between friction between two surfaces that do not conduct electricity
- Electrical charges are also caused by the addition or removal of electrons
- Charges can be either positive (lose electrons) or negative (gain electrons)
- Charges can exert a moving force
- Charges repel each other when they have the same charge, and attract when the charges are opposite
Classification
- Classification is an organisation system
- Things are alive if they can respire, grow, excrete, move, reproduce, respond and assimilate
- Classification for living things: Kingdom -> Phylum -> Class -> Order -> Family -> Genus -> Species
Cells
- Cells are the smallest unit that can live on its own and that makes up all living organisms and the tissues of the body
-
Organelle Functions:
- Cell wall: Keeps structure and protection
- Cell membrane: Holds cell together but allows movement of nutrients and waste through tiny holes
- Chloroplasts: Contain green pigment called chlorophyll which absorbs light for photosynthesis and converts it to energy
- Nucleus: Contains DNA and controls the cell
- Vacuole: Storage space for various substances
Micro-organisms
- Very small organisms only seen through a microscope
- There are 5 groups: bacteria, fungi, protozoans, algae and viruses
Plants
- Plants are eukaryotes (large and complex cells, nucleus and organelles)
- Plants have cell walls to keep the plants structure stable
- Plants have chloroplasts which produce chlorophyll which convert the sun's energy into food
- Chlorophyll gives the plant its green colour
- Plants cells have a cell wall, cell membrane, vacuole, chloroplast, nucleus and cytoplasm
Animals
- Animals are eukaryotes (large and complex cells, nucleus and organelles)
- They do not have a cell wall
- They are multicellular
- Animal cells have cell membrane, small vacuole, nucleus, cytoplasm, ribosomes, mitochondria
Cellular Respiration
- Cellular respiration is almost the opposite to photosynthesis
- Photosynthesis: water + carbon dioxide + sun’s energy = food (glucose) + oxygen
- Respiration is the process that releases this energy
- Every cell needs energy to keep functions
- The respiratory system, along with the digestive system and circulatory system, carry oxygen and air to each cell
- Respiration: glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + sun’s energy + water
Body Systems
- Complex multicellular organisms such as humans have several body systems and specialised organs
- Some examples of body systems include the respiratory system, excretory system, digestive system, reproductive system and many more.
- Cells -> tissues -> organs -> organ systems -> organism
Digestive System
- The digestive system works by breaking down food into nutrients
- Food is broken down physically through chewing the food and using stomach muscles to churn around the food.
- Food is broken down chemically using the enzymes in the stomach
- Food passes through the oesophagus and the nutrients are broken down
- The circulatory system then transports all the nutrients which get absorbed into the bloodstream through the capillaries in the small intestine
Circulatory System
- The circulatory system transports oxygen and nutrients, and removes waste
- Main components: heart, blood vessels, blood
-
Heart:
- Separated into 2 sides by the septum
- Right side pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs
- Lungs oxygenate blood and returns it back to the left side where it gets pumped around
- Each side of the heart is divided into the atrium and ventricle, separated by valves
- Blood vessels: Arteries...
