The document also covers Mendel's experiments with pea plants and how his findings helped establish the basic principles of heredity and genetics.
Energy Resources
Natural resources come from the Earth and include renewable and non-renewable sources. Renewable resources like sunlight can be replaced, while burning fossil fuels adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere that was locked away for millions of years. This document discusses various renewable energy sources like solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal and biomass as well as non-renewable fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. It also addresses the environmental impacts of energy production and climate change.
Light and Sight
Light enters a diamond and undergoes total internal reflection within the diamond due to the high refractive index of diamond. This causes the light to exit the diamond at different angles, producing the sparkling effect. The facets on cut diamonds are designed to maximize the internal reflections and sparkling. Diamonds appear white due to dispersion of light into the visible spectrum by the crystal structure of diamond.

- Chemical changes form new substances, while physical changes do not. Chemical changes cannot be easily reversed. Combustion and oxidation reactions involve reactions with oxygen. Reduction is the opposite of oxidation.
Energy resources, Nuclear Power and Radioactivity
Here is a summary of the key points about ionizing radiation and its effects on DNA:
- Ionizing radiation such as alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays can damage DNA by directly ionizing molecules in cells.
- When high-energy radiation passes through matter, it can knock electrons off atoms and molecules. This leads to ions being formed, hence "ionizing" radiation.
- DNA is particularly vulnerable to damage from ionizing radiation. Its phosphate backbone and bases can be directly ionized, leading to breaks in the DNA strands.
- Double-strand breaks in DNA are especially harmful, as they can lead to loss of genetic information and mutations if not repaired properly.
- Single-strand
