• Females have a menstrual cycle lasting for about 28 days.
This is called menstruation.
• On days 1–5, if pregnancy has not occurred, the uterus
lining breaks down, tissue and blood are lost, and is replaced
with new tissue.
• Fertilisation can only occur on or around day 14 when
an egg is released from the ovary.

Things that Effect on Breathing
Affect Breathing
Exercise • Increases lung size.
• Improves gas exchange.
Asthma • Causes breathing tubes (bronchioles) to
narrow, making breathing difficult.
Smoking • Damages the breathing tubes so that
mucus builds up. This causes a cough,
makes breathing more difficult and
makes infections more likely.
• In the long term can cause emphysema
and lung cancer.

• A healthy diet contains all the right proportions of the
following substances:
Content of Healthy Diet Purpose

Carbohydrate Gives the body energy
Fat Gives the body energy and can be stored in the body
Protein Used for growth
Vitamins Used to help chemical reactions take place in the body
Minerals Used to make bones strong and help the blood carry oxygen
Fibre Helps undigested food pass quickly through the gut
Water Dissolves chemicals so that chemical reactions can take place
• A healthy diet also contains sufficient food to provide us with

just the right amount of energy. Key Point
• Energy in food is measured in calories or joules.
• 1 calorie = 4.2 joules When dieticians talk
• A young man needs about 2500 kcal per day. about calories in food

100 N x 0.3 m = 30 Nm

Pho

• Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants make food.
• Green plants absorb energy from sunlight.
• They use the energy to react water with carbon dioxide to
make glucose.
• The energy is stored in the glucose.
Key Point
• Oxygen is released as a waste product.
• Plants use a green chemical called chlorophyll inside When you write down
chloroplasts to perform photosynthesis. the word equation for
light photosynthesis always

otosyntthesis
• Leaves are the plant’s factory where photosynthesis takes place.
• Leaves are adapted to do this job because they:
– Are thin – this stops the leaves from being heavy, enabling
trees to have more leaves and therefore a larger surface area
– Have a large surface area – to catch as much sunlight as
possible
– Are green, because of the chemical chlorophyll they use in
order to photosynthesise
– Have small holes called stomata on the underside of the leaf
to let in carbon dioxide and let out oxygen. A single hole is
called a stoma
– Have tiny tubes called xylem to carry water and minerals up
from the roots
– Have tiny tubes called phloem to carry glucose away for
storage.

risks:
Smoking Tobacco contains nicotine, a drug which speeds up
heart rate and raises blood pressure, leading to
increased risk of heart disease, heart attacks and
strokes
Smoking damages blood vessels and the lungs,

leading to coughs, lung infections such as bronchitis,
emphysema and lung cancer
Drinking In the short term, alcohol:
alcohol – slows down reactions
– reduces coordination
– can alter people’s behaviour.
In the long term, too much alcohol can cause:

– liver failure

The
e Particculate Nature of Matter
• All matter in the universe is made up of atoms, arranged in one
of three states: solid, liquid or gas.
• At the coldest temperature possible (−273 °C or 0 K), the atoms
have no kinetic energy so cannot move.
• If heat is introduced, the atoms gain kinetic energy and so move.
Solid
Soliids, Liq
quids and Ga
ases
• Solids:
– contain atoms arranged as close together as possible
– are therefore denser than their liquid form (apart from
water) and cannot be compressed
– will have a fixed shape and volume that does not depend
upon the container that it is in.
• Even though they form part of a solid the atoms, or molecules,
still vibrate due to their kinetic energy. Liquid
• As the temperature supplied to a substance increases, the
atoms or molecules vibrate more and more.
• Eventually, at the melting point, the atoms or molecules
rearrange into a liquid:
– as the atoms or molecules are further apart the density will
be less than it was as a solid
– if a liquid is in a container it will take the shape of the
container that it occupies
– the atoms or molecules move around much more than in a
solid, but still cannot be compressed. Gas
• Eventually, at the boiling point, the liquid becomes a gas:

– the atoms or molecules in a gas can move freely and will
occupy all of the available space in a container Key Point
– if not completely enclosed, the gas particles will escape
Gases can still be heated
– when a material cools, the reverse process happens.

• A chemical reaction will only take place if a set amount of
energy is provided.
• This is called the activation energy of the reaction.
• If the available energy is less than the activation energy, there
will not be a reaction.
• A catalyst is a substance that reduces the activation energy, and
so increases the rate of reaction.
• This means the reaction can take place with lower energy than
normal.

• Indicators are used to find out what type of substance a chemical is.
• Initially, scientists discovered chemicals in common plants that
could change colour to indicate acid or alkali, for example, red
cabbage is red in acid and blue in alkaline conditions.
• The chemical litmus also behaves as an indicator but can be
incorporated into paper, so it can be transported easily.
Litmus paper
• Universal indicator (UI) solution and paper contain a mixture of
different indicators.
• These indicators change colour at a specific pH.
• pH is a measure of the strength of an acid or alkali.
• The pH scale ranges from 1 to 14 and has a colour for each
pH number.

cooling.
• By controlling the speed of cooling, different sized crystals can
be made.

The
e Structture of the Earth
• The Earth is a planet in orbit around the Sun.
• All of the chemicals used in industry come from
the Earth.
• Rocks make up the solid crust of the Earth.
• The rocks in the crust contain chemical compounds and
elements that can be extracted and used.
The
e Rock Cycle
• There are three types of rocks, classified according to
how they formed.
• Igneous rock is formed from cooled magma.
– If the magma cools rapidly, the igneous rock formed
is dense and has small crystals, e.g. granite
– If the magma cools slowly then the igneous rock
will be less dense and have large crystals, e.g. basalt. core
• When rocks have been subjected to weathering and
erosion, pieces of rock break off.
• The sediments formed eventually settle and are
subjected to large pressures from the rock above.
• When material deposited in this way forms rock it is
called sedimentary rock.
• Any material that can be deposited can lead to
sedimentary rock, e.g. eroded rock material, or the
calcite skeletons of microorganisms that lived in the sea.
• Due to the movement of the tectonic plates, rock that
was on or near the surface can be moved closer to the
Earth’s core.
• Subjected to intense heat and pressure, the structure
of the rock alters.

• Although the planet looks enormous to us and seems to have
an endless supply of resources, this is not true:
– Many elements that we find most useful are also rare
– Many of the components used in mobile phones and tablets
are made using rare earth metals
– The majority of the energy we use comes from non-renewable
sources, such as coal, oil and natural gas
– Most items in households of the Western world are made
from the products of crude oil.
• The finite reserves of oil are being used up, and since oil takes
millions of years to form, we cannot make more. This means
that we need to recycle items.
• Recycling involves extracting parts of a used product and
making them available for other processes or products, e.g.
recycling paper involves collecting the used paper, sorting it
and then treating it to make recycled paper.
