Science Exam Notes
Biology:
Animal Tissues:
Epithelia
Major
• Lines the
Functions surfaces of the
body
• Forms barrier
• Covers organs
Examples
• Skin/Lining
• Throat
• Organs
Muscle
Connective
Nervous
• Stretching or
Contracting
• Made up of fibers
so that they can
perform its function of
stretching/contracting
• Support
• Strength
• Extracellular
Matrix (blood)
• Insulation
• Padding
• Send and
receive
signals to and
from brain
• Skeletal
• Bone

System
Plants - Structures and Functions:
Plants - Function
- Perform photosynthesis to make food (Glucose)
- Converts carbon dioxide into oxygen
Plants - Structure
- Root System
- Shoot System
● Stem
● Leaves
● Flowers
Roots - Function
- Absorption
- Storage
- Anchorage/Stabilization
Shoots - Stems
- Support/Branches/Leaves/Flowers
- Grow towards light
- Transport nutrients and water
Shoots - Leaves
- Photosynthetic
● Produces it’s own food
- Designed to capture maximum light and minimize water loss
Shoots - Flowers
• Developed for sexual reproduction
• Pollen produced on another ‘pollinates’ egg inside ovary to form a seed
Plant - Tissues
Meristematic Cells - Undifferentiated/Unspecified cells
- Divide and differentiate into specialized tissues
Vascular Tissue
Xylem - Transport of water throughout the plant
Phloem - Transports nutrients throughout the plant
All Human Organ Systems:
- Circulatory
- Digestive/Excretory
- Respiratory
- Immune/Lymphatic
- Muscular
- Endocrine
- Reproductive
- Integumentary
- Nervous
- Skeletal
Circulatory System:
Parts:
- Heart
- Blood
- Blood Vessels (Arteries, veins, capillaries)
Main Function:
• To move blood and lymph throughout the body
- Vital for fighting disease and maintaining homeostasis
Veins vs Arteries
Veins
Arteries
● Carries blood towards the heart
● Carries blood away from the heart
● Mostly carries deoxygenated blood
● Mostly carries oxygenated blood
● Has a thin muscle layer with valves
● Has a thick muscle layer that can
to prevent the backflow of blood
expand and contract (no valves)
● Blood flows under low pressure
● Blood flows under high pressure
Capillaries
Blood moves very slow in the capillaries so that the blood can:
- Deliver oxygen and nutrients
- Pick-up waste (CO2 and other materials)
Chemical Reactions:
Classifying a Reaction
Synthesis reactions:
Two or more reactants combine to make 1 new product
...
Examples:
H2CO3(aq) → H2O(l) + CO2(g)
CaCO3(s) → CaO(s) + CO2(g)
Single-replacement reactions:
A single element replaces a similar element of an adjacent reactant compound
...
Examples:
NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) → NaNO3(aq) + AgCl(s)
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
Combustion reactions:
A single element or compound combines with oxygen gas releasing energy
...
Examples:
C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + energy
2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s) + energy
2C4H10(g) +13O2 → 8CO2(g) + 10H2O(g) + energy
Endothermic and Exothermic
- If the energy appears on the left side, the reaction is endothermic
- If the energy appears on the right side, the reaction is exothermic
- If it is a combustion reaction, it is always exothermic
