Study Notes
Zoology
- Definition: Study of animals and their biological processes.
-
Branches:
- Marine Biology: Study of oceanic organisms.
- Entomology: Study of insects.
- Ornithology: Study of birds.
- Herpetology: Study of reptiles and amphibians.
-
Key Concepts:
- Taxonomy: Classification of animals using hierarchies (kingdom, phylum, class, etc.).
- Anatomy: Structure of animal bodies.
- Physiology: Functions of animal systems (e.g., circulatory, respiratory).
- Ecology: Interactions of animals with their environment.
Botany
- Definition: Study of plants, including their physiology, structure, genetics, ecology, distribution, and classification.
-
Branches:
- Plant Physiology: Functions and processes of plants (photosynthesis, respiration).
- Plant Taxonomy: Classification of plants.
- Ethnobotany: Study of how people use plants.
- Paleobotany: Study of fossil plants.
-
Key Concepts:
- Photosynthesis: Process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy.
- Plant Anatomy: Study of plant structures (roots, stems, leaves).
- Plant Reproduction: Sexual (seeds, flowers) and asexual (cuttings, tubers) methods.
- Ecology: Plant interactions within ecosystems.
Chemistry
- Definition: Study of matter, its properties, composition, and the changes it undergoes.
-
Branches:
- Organic Chemistry: Study of carbon-containing compounds.
- Inorganic Chemistry: Study of inorganic compounds.
- Physical Chemistry: Study of the physical properties of molecules.
- Analytical Chemistry: Techniques to analyze material composition.
-
Key Concepts:
- Atoms and Molecules: Basic units of matter; atoms combine to form molecules.
- Chemical Reactions: Processes that involve the rearrangement of atoms (reactants to products).
- Periodic Table: Organization of elements based on atomic number, electron configurations, and recurring properties.
- pH Scale: Measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution; scale ranges from 0 (acidic) to 14 (basic).
