Reactions
Acid + reactive metal(metals except for copper,gold,silver and lead)
-
Acid + carbonate
Salt, water & carbon dioxide
-
-
- Heat and its transmissions
-
Convection
-
Convection currents
-
___ gains heat, expands, decreases in density and rises, forming a convection current.
Radiation
-
Factors
Colour of surface
Darker, duller surfaces absorb & emit thermal radiation at a higher rate, and are poor reflectors of thermal radiation
Brighter, shinier surfaces absorb and emit thermal radiation at a lower rate, and are better reflectors of thermal radiation
-
Surface area
The higher the surface area, the greater the rate of absorption and emission of thermal radiation
- Work done, energy and power
-
-
Electrical energy
-
-
-
-
Electrical energy can be measured in J, W x S, kWh
-
Parallel circuit
More resistors, less total resistance
Series circuit
More resistors, more total resistance
Biological molecules`
-
Fats
Chemical formula:C(x)H(y)O(z),where y>>z
-
Formation: 3 fatty acids, 1 glycerol molecule
-
Purpose:
-
-
- Protects the organs from damage
Proteins
-
Formation: amino acids, where there’s NH(2)[amino group],COOH[acid group],R[side chain],H,C
-
-
Function:
Growth and repair of cells(muscle building, creation of antibodies etc.)
-
Biological catalysts
Enzymes
-
Have active sites where the chemical reactions take place, which are substrate-specific(lock & key hypothesis)
-
-
To speed up chemical reactions(like digestion), remains the same at the end of the reaction by providing a path of lower activation energy
Nutrition in humans
5 stages of nutrition
-
Digestion
Catabolic reactions, including both physical and chemical break down of molecules
Absorption
Digested food molecules pass through the plasma membrane of epithelial cells lining the small intestine via diffusion and active transport
Assimilation
Absorbed food substances are transported via the bloodstream to be utilised by cells to make new protoplasm or release energy
-
Digestive system
Ailmentary canal
-
Oesophagus
Longitudinal muscles
Outer layer
Relaxes when bolus is behind, contracts when bolus is in front
Circular muscles
Inner layer
Contracts when bolus is behind, relaxes when bolus is in front
-
Small intestine
-
Absorbs glucose and amino acids through the epithelial cells lining the small intestine, which is then carried away by blood capillaries
-
Fatty acids and glycerol are absorbed into the epithelial cells, where they are converted to fats, before being carried away by the lacteal
The small intestine is 7 meters long, has many folds in its inner wall, has many finger-like projections on said folds(villi), increasing the surface area to volume ratio which increases the rate of absorption of digested food into the epithelial cells, which are then rapidly carried away in the bloodstream to maintain concentration gradient for diffusion
