  • From where does heat transfer occur?
    Heat transfers from a warmer object to a cooler object.
  • What is thermal energy?
    Thermal energy is the average kinetic energy present in a system.
  • What is the definition of heat?

    Heat is energy transferred from one body to another as a result of a difference in temperature.
  • How is temperature defined?

    Temperature is the measure of hotness or coldness of an object.
  • What is heat transfer?
    Heat transfer is a form of thermal energy due to temperature differences.
  • What does thermal equilibrium mean?
    Thermal equilibrium occurs when objects have the same temperature, and heat transfer cannot happen.
  • What are the methods of heat transfer?
    1. Conduction - Through a medium from one point to another (direct contact)
    2. Convection - Physical movement of fluid
    3. Radiation - Does not need direct contact; occurs in the form of electromagnetic waves
  • What is conduction in heat transfer?
    Conduction is heat transfer through a medium from one point to another via direct contact.
  • What is convection in heat transfer?
    Convection is the physical movement of fluid that transfers heat.
  • What is radiation in heat transfer?
    Radiation is heat transfer that does not require direct contact and occurs in the form of electromagnetic waves.
  • What is electric charge?

    Electric charge is carried by some elementary particles and governs how particles are affected by electric or magnetic fields.
  • How is electric charge measured?
    Electric charge is measured in coulombs (C).
  • What does the law of charges state?
    The law of charges states that like charges repel each other, while opposite charges attract.
  • What is the law of conservation of charge?
    The law of conservation of charge states that the total electric charge in an isolated system never changes.
  • What are the methods of charging an object?
    1. Charging by Friction - Insulating materials rub against each other.
    2. Charging by Induction - Charges an object without touching it.
    3. Charging by Conduction - Involves touching a charged object to a neutral object.
  • What is motion?

    Motion is the action of changing location or position.
  • What are scalar and vector quantities?
    • Scalar Quantities: Magnitude only (Examples: Distance, Displacement)
    • Vector Quantities: Magnitude and direction (Examples: Displacement, Velocity, Acceleration)
  • What is a motion diagram?
    A motion diagram is a composite photo that shows the position of an object at several equally spaced time intervals.
  • What is distance?
    Distance is how far two points are, the total length of the path traveled by a moving object regardless of direction.
  • What is displacement?

    Displacement is an object's change in position to a particular direction and is a vector quantity.
  • What is speed?
    Speed is the distance covered per time of travel.
  • What is the formula for speed?

    Speed = Distance over Time, or s=s =dt \frac{d}{t}.
  • What is velocity?
    Velocity is speed with direction.
  • How are directions defined in motion?
    North (Up) and East (Right) are positive, while South (Down) and West (Left) are negative.
  • What is the displacement if an object returns to the starting point?
    If an object returns to the starting point, the displacement is 0.
  • What are examples of eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms?
    • Eukaryotic Examples: animals, plants, fungi, and protozoans
    • Prokaryotic Examples: bacteria and archaea
  • What are the similarities and differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?
    Similarities:
    • DNA
    • Plasma Membrane
    • Cytoplasm
    • Ribosomes

    Differences:
    • DNA structure
    • Organelles
    • Reproduction
    • Average Size
  • What are the main cell organelles and their functions?
    • Plasma/Cell Membrane: Porous and semipermeable membrane surrounding an animal cell.
    • Nucleus: Contains instructions for cell functions.
    • Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER): Membranes found in almost all eukaryotic cells (Smooth and Rough ER).
    • Ribosomes: Involved in synthesizing proteins.
    • Mitochondrion: Releases energy from food breakdown.
    • Golgi Apparatus: Modifies proteins/lipids and transports substances out of the cell.
    • Lysosome: Waste disposal unit of the cell.
    • Vacuole: Stores nutrients like food and water.
    • Peroxisome: Digests compounds like fats, amino acids, and sugars.
    • Centrosomes: Involved in cell division and production of flagella and cilia.
    • Villi: Needle-like growths extending from the plasma membrane.
    • Flagellum: Long, thin extension of the plasma membrane driven by proteins.
  • Cell Wall: Distinguishing feature of plant cells.
