Biology helps us with… • Healthy food • Exercise • Disease • Environment • Living Things
Living Things are organized from… • Cells • Tissue • Organs • Systems • Organism
Characteristics of Living Things • Organized cells, tissues, etc • Respond to stimuli • Maintain health – homeostasis • Use energy – metabolism • Grow and develop • Reproduce
Scientific Method 1.Observation – question • Hypothesis – TESTABLE answer, may become theory if confirmed repeatedly. If_____, then ____. If = independent variable then = dependent variable 3. Experiment–control group to compare to - experimental group w/ indep var YOU choose to test 4. Conclusion – results you SEE - dependent variable
MicroscopesPg 24 • Compound Light Microscope in class, more later • Scanning Electron Microscope scans surface of specimen • Transmission Electron Microscope electrons pass through specimen to show internal structures
Chapter 2Page 31 • Matter = mass • Elements = one kind of atom • Nucleus of atom– protons, “+”, = atomic # - neutrons, neutral - n + p = mass number • Electrons– orbit around nucleus, negative • Isotopes – same element, different mass/neutrons, radioactive, Carbon-14 • Why is mass number an average?
Atom – simplest part of element • Molecule – simplest part of compound • Compound – different elements • Molecule – can be same element ex. Diatomic – H2,O2,N2, column 7 • Ionic bond – transfers electrons, makes charged elements (ions) ex. Na+1Cl-1 • Covalent bond – shares electrons, makes molecules, ex. water, carbon (4 bonds, common)
Chemical Reactions • reactants products • Activation energy – needed to start reactions • w/ catalysts like enzymes, reactions go fast/don’t need as much energy Pg 37** • Redox reactions – one element gains electron (reduction in ox #), other loses electron (oxidation) 2Mg + O2 2Mg+2O-2
Acids • H2CO3, H3PO4, H2SO4, HCl • Dissociate H+ ions to form hydronium H3O+ • pH below 7 • pH “0” = strongest acid
Bases • NaOH, CaOH, MgOH • Dissociate OH-- ions (hydroxide) • pH above 7 • pH 14 = strongest base • Just as corrosive as acid • Used as cleaners
pH • Each # is 10 x stronger than previous # • Can’t be drawn to scale
Buffers • Body uses to keep pH neutral, homeostasis • If pH above 7, H2CO3 dissociates to release H+ ions and lower pH back to 7 • If pH below 7, too many free H+ ions, HCO3 picks up H+ ions and raises pH to 7
