    Study Notes

    Cloning

    • Dolly was a cloned sheep, the first mammal cloned from an adult somatic cell.
    • Dolly was identical to sheep 1.
    • Cloning involves copying from a single master copy.
    • A very small piece, meaning a cell, was taken from the udder of the adult sheep.
    • The nucleus of the cell was transferred into an egg cell, that had its own nucleus removed.
    • The manipulated egg was implanted into another sheep (where Dolly was created from).
    • Scientists believe cloning humans may be possible in the future, although many governments have established legal restrictions on human cloning.

    Daylight

    • The Earth's rotation on its axis causes daylight and darkness.
    • The Earth's tilted axis is responsible for the changing seasons.
    • On June 2022, the longest day of the year for the Northern Hemisphere occurred, whilst the shortest day occurred in Australia (Melbourne).
    • The longest day in the Southern Hemisphere occurs in December.

    Lip Gloss

    • Lip gloss contains oils and waxes, which mix well together.
    • Oils and waxes do not mix well with water.
    • If water is splashed into lip gloss while being heated, the mixture will form fatty lumps that float on top of the water.

    Wind Farms

    • Wind farms use windmills with blades that turn generators that produce electricity.
    • The amount of wind is variable, and some areas have more consistent wind than others.
    • Wind speeds vary throughout the year.
    • The best place for wind farms is in locations with the most consistent high wind speeds.

    Ozone

    • Ozone is important for sustaining life on Earth, acting as a protective shield to absorb harmful ultraviolet (UV-B) radiation.
    • Ozone found in the troposphere (lower atmosphere) is harmful to living things and is considered "bad" ozone.
    • Conversely, ozone in the stratosphere is good, preventing UV radiation that is harmful to living things.
    • Ozone that forms during or after thunderstorms is "bad" ozone, and is formed in the troposphere.

    Meteoroids and Craters

    • Rocks in space that enter Earth's atmosphere are called meteoroids.
    • Meteoroids heat up and glow as they fall through the atmosphere.
    • Most meteoroids burn up before hitting Earth's surface.
    • When a meteoroid hits Earth's surface, it can create a crater.
    • As a meteoroid approaches Earth and enters the atmosphere it speeds up because it is attracted to the mass of the Earth.

    Bread Dough

    • Fermentation causes dough to rise.
    • The rise is due to the production of carbon dioxide gas by yeast.
    • Yeast (a single-celled fungus) transforms starch and sugar in the flour to carbon dioxide and alcohol when fermented.

    Major Surgery

    • Major surgery is performed in specially equipped operating rooms on patients who are ill requiring major interventions and procedures.
    • Patients undergoing major surgery are frequently given drips containing water, sugars, salts, and sometimes antibiotics or tranquilizers.
    • Sugars are added to the drip to help with patient nutrition as patients may not be able to have food or drink following the surgery.
    • The drip solutions help with patient wellness by delivering necessary nutrition.

    Mary Montagu

    • Mary Montagu discovered a method of inoculation during her travels to Turkey and experimented with her son and daughter.
    • She observed that inoculation or scratching a weak form of smallpox into the skin of healthy young people to develop some immunity without causing severe illness and possibly death from illness.
    • Edward Jenner later built upon the work of Montagu and others, developing vaccinations to prevent the more significant disease of smallpox and others.
    • The antibodies made by the body attack bacteria before they can multiply causing harm.

    Sustainable Fish Farming

    • Sustainable fish farming addresses the increasing demand for seafood without harming wild populations.
    • Key challenges of sustainable fish farms include feeding farmed fish and maintaining water quality.
    • Sustainable farms have a continuous flow of clean ocean water, removing waste from the water before returning to the ocean.
    • Sustainable farms grow food to feed the fish, and remove excess food and nutrients.
    • Microalgae and other organisms are used in sustainable fish farms.
