Study Notes

Pathogens

  • Pathogens are disease-causing agents.
  • Viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites are all classified as pathogens.

Diseases Caused by Bacteria

  • An example of a disease caused by bacteria is pneumonia.

The Flu Virus

  • The influenza virus is known to cause the flu.

Types of Pathogens

  • Viruses: Live inside cells and reproduce using a host's cellular machinery.
  • Bacteria: Single-celled organisms that can cause various diseases.
  • Fungi: Can be multicellular or single-celled and cause diseases like athlete's foot.
  • Parasites: Live in or on a host and benefit at the host's expense.

Bacteria Characteristics

  • A true statement about bacteria is that they are single-celled organisms.

How Bacteria Cause Diseases

  • The primary way bacteria cause diseases is by producing toxins that damage the host's body.

Sound Waves

  • Sound waves are considered longitudinal waves.
  • Higher amplitude sound waves are associated with greater loudness.
  • Wavelength and frequency in sound waves are inversely proportional.

The Travel of Light

  • Light can travel through a vacuum where there is no matter.
  • Sound waves cannot travel through liquids.

Sound Travel Speed

  • Sound travels fastest in solids.

Sound Wave Parts

  • During the rarefaction part of a sound wave, the particles in the medium spread apart.

Immune System

  • Antibodies play a role in the immune system by binding to and neutralizing pathogens.
  • Cilia trap pathogens from the airways by sweeping them away.
  • Herd immunity is when a large percentage of a population is immune to a disease, making it difficult for the disease to spread.
  • The immune system is responsible for preventing and fighting disease.

First Line of Defense Against Pathogens

  • An example of a first line of defense against pathogens is skin.

Characteristics of Bacteria

  • The primary characteristic of a bacterium is that it is single-celled.

Sound Wave Characteristics

  • The loudness of a sound is determined by the amplitude of the sound wave.
  • Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.
  • The pitch of a sound is the quality that depends on the frequency of the sound wave.
  • A large drum produces a low-pitched sound because it vibrates slowly.

Types of Waves

  • Transverse waves involve particles moving perpendicular to the wave direction.

Lenses and Light Rays

  • A concave lens causes light rays to diverge.

Ions

  • A cation is a positively charged ion.
  • Anions are negatively charged ions.
  • To determine the charge of an ion using its symbol, look for the superscript.
  • The mass number of an atom is calculated by adding the number of protons and neutrons together.

Characteristics of Electrons

  • Electrons are negatively charged particles located outside the nucleus.

Isotopes & Ions

  • An isotope has the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
  • A chlorine ion with a charge of -1 indicates that it has gained an electron.

Chemical Reactions

  • Reactants are the substances that are present at the start of a chemical reaction.
  • A chemical equation must always include the names of the products on the right side of the arrow.

Chemical Principles

  • The Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
  • Iron rusting is an example of a chemical change.
  • A chemical equation is balanced when the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.

Chemical Symbols & Equations

  • Word equations use the words of elements to represent reactants and products.
  • In a symbol equation, sodium and oxygen combine to form sodium oxide.
