linnaean classification system
Domain kingdom phylum class order family genus species
element
each of more than one hundred substances that cannot be chemically interconverted or broken down into simpler substances and are primary constituents of matter. Each element is distinguished by its atomic number, i.e., the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms.
dependent group
MEASURED effect
the effect of temperature on hatching success
the hatching success is dependent variable
independent group
manituplated cause
the effect of temperature on hatching success
the temperature is the independent group!
cell theory
all organisms are made of cells and all cells come from preexisting cells
Pasteur’s classic experiment
Pasteur’s classic experiment
cells don’t arise by spontaneous generation.
Every living thing has “parents”
Evolution
is a change in time in a population indivuals dont cahnge
Natural Selection -
populations change b/c better adapted (fitter) individuals more offspring.
Think “Reproduction of the fittest” rather than just survival of the fittest.
Vestigial traits
uneeded things
widsom teeth in humans
legs in snakes and whales
Charles Darwin 1859
Proposed natural selection
as the mechanism of
adaptive evolution.
electron shells
1st shell holds 2 e-
2nd shell holds 8 e-
3rd shell holds 8/18 e-
in a double bond
4 electrons total
2 from each
in a tripple bond
6 total
3 from each
ionic bonds
atoms exchange electrons and become charged
giving the atoms a full charge
cation
atoms loses a election and becomes postive
anion
atom gains an electrons and becomes negative
covalent bonds
share pair of electrons
can be polar or nonpolar
nonpolar
atoms are shared equally
no charge given to these atoms
polar
aromsa are not shared equally and go towards the nucli with the most electronnegativity
giving the atom partial charge
o>n>c~=h
oxyen is the most electronneg of all elements
determined by the number of protons and the distance of the valence shell and the nucleus
if the electron is not sharred equally it will result in
one element have a partial postive or neg charge
like in water the O gains an electron so geta a partial neg charge and the H are lossing an electron so it gains a partial pos charge
van der waals interactions
hydrogen bonds are the strongest type
these do not make molecules they are only interactions between molecules or portions of molecules
hydrogen bbonds
opposites attract
when two water molecules approach each other the partial positive charge on hydrogen attracts each other the partial positive charge on hydrogen attracts the partial neg charge on the oxygen
water is polar
hydrophillic
water loving h
hydrogen bonding makes it possible for almost any charged or polar molecule to dissolve in water
hydrophobic
water fearing interactions with water are minimal or nonexistent they are forced to interact with each other
the hydrogen bonds will bond toether around the nonpolar hydrophobic molecules
cohesion
attraction between like molecules
ex water
meaning it stays together because of the hydrogen bonds between the molecules
also makes surface tenstion
adhesion
attraction between unlike molecules
interactions between a liquid and a soild surface
water ahderes to surfaces that have polar or charged components
surface tenstion
when the water molecules are at the top/surface there are no water molecules above for hydrogen bonding as result the exhibit stronger attractive forces between their nearest neighboring molecules this interaction between the surface water molceules results in tension that minimizes the total surface area
water resitst any force that increases its surace area
this is why its better to dive in the pool rather than belly flop
