D Vos parents sont divorcés depuis trois ans. Votre père a rencontré quelqu’un et ce soir, il veut vous présenter la nouvelle élue de son cœur. Vous ne savez pas comment vous comporter.

Côté parents

2 Votre fi ls passe tout son temps libre devant son écran d’ordinateur. Que faire ?

3 Depuis quelques temps, votre fi ls rentre tard, passe ses week-ends avec une bande de nouveaux copains. Vous vous inquiétez et aimeriez lui faire comprendre que vous n’aimez pas ses nouvelles fréquentations sans le braquer.

Datos InteresantesEn la mitología maya Huracan o Hurakan (él de una pierna) fue el dios del fuego, viento y de las tormentas.Es representado como un ser con cola de serpiente y también de aspecto reptil, porta, un objeto humeante (posiblemente una antorcha) y una gran corona. De su nombre proviene la palabra huracán que designa al fenómeno meteorológico.Según la mitología, fue uno de los dioses que participaron en la creación del hombre a partir del maíz. Hurakan había enviado El Gran Diluvio maya, un diluvio universal, enviado para destruir a los primeros hombres que habían enfurecido a los dioses. El había vivido en las nubes sobre la inundada Tierra mientras la repetía empujando el agua hasta las costas originales.

Sobre el efecto CoriolisEl efecto Coriolis, descrito en 1836 por el científico francés Gaspard-Gustave Coriolis, es el efecto que se observa en un sistema de referencia en rotación (y por tanto no inercial) cuando un cuerpo se encuentra en movimiento respecto de dicho sistema de referencia.

Incendios forestales

Un incendio forestal es un desastre natural que destruye prados, bosques, causando grandes pérdidas en vida salvaje (animal y vegetal) y en ocasiones humanas. Los incendios forestales suelen producirse por un relámpago, negligencia, o incluso provocados y queman miles de hectáreas.

Actividad oral interactiva

¿Recuperando bosques o plantando incendios?

Hace años hubo en España una campaña para crear conciencia sobre la importancia de cuidar los bosques. El lema era el siguiente:

Cuando un bosque se quema, algo suyo se quema.

Poco después alguien añadió:

Cuando un bosque se quema, algo suyo se quema, señor Conde.

¿Cuál crees que es la diferencia entre los dos lemas?

Se cree que cada año muchos de los incendios forestales son provocados. En muchos casos, en esas zonas se consiguen permisos para construir casas poco después.

¿Qué es más importante, casas para que la gente tenga una vivienda, o los bosques naturales?

TEMAS TRONCALES: ASUNTOS GLOBALES

Inundación

Una inundación es un desastre natural causado por la acumulación de lluvias y agua en un lugar concreto. Puede producirse por lluvia continua, una fusión rápida de grandes cantidades de hielo, o ríos que reciben un exceso de precipitación y se desbordan, y en menos ocasiones por la destrucción de una presa. La inundación de gran magnitud más reciente es la Inundación de Tabasco y Chiapas (México) de 2007, que ocurrió entre el 28 de octubre y el 27 de noviembre del 2007, a causa de crecidas históricas en los ríos que recorren ambas entidades. El desastre se dio en la capital tabasqueña, la ciudad de Villahermosa y en los municipios del extremo norte de Chiapas.

Section A: The natural environment and people

Figure 1.1: Stores and fl ows in the hydrological cycle

Stores

During the hydrological cycle, water is held in a number of stores and then moves between them by means of a series of fl ows or transfers. The stores in the cycle are:

● the atmosphere – here the water exists either as water vapour or as minute droplets in clouds

● the land – here water is stored on the surface in rivers, lakes and reservoirs. Water is also taken in by plants and temporarily stored in vegetation. It is also stored below ground in the soil or bedrock. This is known as the groundwater store. Generally speaking, water exists in these stores in a liquid form. However, it can also exist in a solid form as snow and ice, as for example in ice sheets, glaciers and snowfi elds.

Chapter 1: River environments

1.1 The hydrological cycleFresh water is essential for life on Earth. This water is constantly being recycled as it moves through a cycle known as the hydrological cycle or water cycle. This is a global circulation of water − it is a giant closed system (Figure 1.1). This means that there is a fi xed amount of water in the system because water neither enters nor leaves the Earth and its atmosphere.

IntroductionThis chapter is about rivers. They are a vital part of the global circulation of water. They are responsible for the creation of landforms found throughout the world. They are valuable to us because they supply much of the water we use in our everyday lives. At the same time, because of the risk of fl ooding, they can become hazards that threaten people and their settlements.

market equilibrium and efficiency3

Shifts of demand A few years ago, consumer demand for pomegranate juice significantly increased following reports that it contained very high levels of antioxidants. As a result, demand for all products using pomegranate increased, shifting demand for pomegranates to the right. As shown in Figure 3.3, demand for pomegranates shifted to the right, causing a temporary shortage at the old equilibrium price of $4.00. The quantity demanded (QD) is thus far greater than the quantity supplied (QS). In this case, the excess demand is 40 million kilograms. As producers realize they can raise the price, they produce more, a movement upwards along the supply curve. And as consumers see the higher prices, they decrease the quantity demanded, a movement up and left along the new demand curve. The quantities of supply and demand settle at the new equilibrium price of $5 and equilibrium quantity of 110 million kilograms. As a result of the increased demand, prices are higher and quantities greater than before.

A decrease in demand can have the opposite effect. A decrease in a country’s income might decrease the demand for all normal goods. Automobile sales, in particular, tend to be immediately affected by decreases in income, and a recession causes a decrease in demand for automobiles. In Figure 3.4, a decrease in demand of this type results in a temporary surplus of 6 million cars at the equilibrium price of $12 500 (fewer new cars being sold); producers cut prices to entice buyers (increasing quantity demanded, moving down along the new demand curve). Eventually, the market settles at a new, lower market price and quantity ($9000 and 5.5 million cars): fewer cars are being sold at lower prices.

Market shocks (sudden increases in supply or demand) can raise serious ethical dilemmas. After the earthquake, tsunami and radiation disaster in Japan (March 2011), thousands of people tried to leave the country. Airlines were reportedly charging four to five times the usual price to fly out of Tokyo (e.g. flights to Los Angeles at $6000). Is it unethical to charge higher prices for necessity goods during a humanitarian crisis? Or would the law of supply help ensure that more of these goods are offered for sale in the crisis zone?

Shifts of supply Supply shifts can also have important effects on price and quantity. In Figure 3.5, the market for rubber ducks shows the effect of synthetic rubber production. Synthetic rubber is much cheaper than rubber collected from rubber trees, so it becomes much less costly to produce rubber items, including rubber ducks. As a result, the supply of rubber ducks shifts to the right. A temporary surplus 7 million ducks exists at the old equilibrium price of $3.75. This surplus is eliminated by cutting prices and selling off the excess supply. Consumers do their part by buying up the residual amounts at successively lower prices, an increase in quantity demanded at each lower price. The increase in supply therefore results in a lower equilibrium price for rubber ducks at $2.25, and a higher equilibrium quantity of 12 million sold.

A decrease in supply will have the inverse result. Figure 3.6 shows the effect of a deep winter freeze across the Mediterranean which damaged orange crops in Greece, Italy, Spain and Cyprus. As a result, the number of oranges available for juice products decreased dramatically. Oranges are an input cost for orange juice, so the supply of orange juice decreases, shifting supply to the left. The reduced supply causes a temporary shortage of 700 million litres at the old equilibrium price of $1.50 per litre. Producers therefore begin to increase their prices, and consumers respond by decreasing the quantity demanded. The final price and quantity settle at $2.10 per litre and 550 million litres consumed. Thus, the decrease in supply has caused a decrease in quantity available and increased prices.

How does production of synthetic rubber affect the price of rubber ducks?

Perhaps the greatest single supply shock in the modern era occurred with the 1973 oil crisis. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) launched an embargo of oil in response to US support of Israel during the Yom Kippur War. The price of oil quadrupled to a then-record $12 per barrel. This resulted in long queues, price controls and rationing in the US, Europe and Japan. It also stoked inflationary tendencies at work during this period, and is credited with starting the era of stagflation.

3.3 Role of price in resource allocation

Signalling and incentive functions of priceIn a world of finite resources, human desires run up against the fact of scarcity. Our wants are unlimited compared to the limited resources we have available, which is another way of saying that resources are scarce. With this in mind, we are faced with a choice of how to use those resources. All such choices involve a cost – specifically, an opportunity cost. To choose one product or activity, we lose out on the opportunity to enjoy the other. This makes the system of resources allocation all the more important. In competitive markets, we have seen that buyers and sellers come to a settlement or agreement on the appropriate market price. This is not done through any central command or by the guidance of some overseeing body of government. Instead, the establishment of a market price happens when countless buyers and sellers, each making rational choices about their scarce resources, make the best decision for themselves. Buyers are conscious of their time and income levels, while suppliers watch closely their costs and the selling potential for their goods. This decentralized, seemingly random process produces one of the most

Question: A market research company is going to do a national opinion poll.They want to find out what people think about the European Union.The company is going to do a telephone poll.First they will pick 10 towns at random.Then they will pick 10 telephone numbers from the telephone book for each town.They will ring these 100 telephone numbers.The people who answer will form the sample.Discuss whether this will form a satisfactory sample for the poll. (2 marks)

Zero marksOver a quarter of candidates scored no marks for this question. The examiners were looking for two reasons why the sample would not be satisfactory.

GoodFor a good answer you need to give one reason, for example point out that the number involved (100 or less) is too small to represent the whole country.

ExcellentFor an excellent answer you need to give two reasons. A second reason might be that using only 10 towns to represent the country could lead to bias.

Fundamentals1

complement of a given set A is the set of all elements in the universal set that are not elements of set A, and is denoted by the symbol A9. Venn diagrams are used to pictorially represent the relationship of sets within a universal set. The universal set, U, is represented by a rectangle and any subset of U is represented by the interior of a circle within the rectangle (see Figure 1.3).

The intersection of sets A and B, denoted by A B and read ‘A intersection B’, is the set of all elements that are in both set A and set B. The union of two sets A and B, denoted by A B and read ‘A union B’, is the set of all elements that are in set A or in set B (or in both). The set that contains no elements is called the empty set (or null set) and is denoted by [. Sets whose intersection is the empty set, i.e. they have no elements in common, are disjoint sets.

The Cartesian product of two sets A and B is the set of all ordered pairs {(a, b)}, where a A and b B. It is written as A 3 B 5 {(a, b) | a A, b B}. For example, if X 5 {1, 2} and Y 5 {3, 4, 5},

then X 3 Y 5 {(1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5)}

and Y 3 X 5 {(3, 1), (3, 2), (4, 1), (4, 2), (5, 1), (5, 2)}

A

U

A�

Figure 1.3 Venn diagram for the universal set U, set A, and the complement of A, A9 (shaded region).

If for a certain problem the universal set is the complex numbers C, then the complement of the real numbers is the imaginary numbers. For problems in secondary school mathematics, and in this course, the universal set will often be a subset of the complex numbers – commonly the real numbers R. If the universal set is the real numbers, then the set of irrational numbers is the complement of the rational numbers Q. See Figure 1.2.

Although the set {2, 3} is equal to the set {3, 2}, the ordered pairs (2, 3) and (3, 2) are not the same. Hence, for the Cartesian product of two sets A and B, in general, A 3 B B 3 A.

Venn diagrams are named after the British mathematician, philosopher and writer John Venn (1834–1923). Although he was not the first to use diagrams as an aid to problems in set theory and logic, he was the first to formalize their usage and popularized them in his writings such as in his first book Symbolic Logic published in 1881.

Hint: The symbol for the union of two sets, , can be remembered by connecting it with the first letter in the word ‘union’.

Example 3 – Set operations

Consider that the universal set U is defined to be U 5 {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13}, and A 5 {2, 5, 8, 11}, B 5 {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12}, C 5 {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13}.

a) Find the following:

(i) A B (ii) A B (iii) A9

(iv) A C (v) A B C (vi) (B C)9

(vii) A (B C)9 (viii) A B C

b) Draw a Venn diagram to illustrate the relationship between the sets A, B and C.

Solution

a) (i) A B 5 {2, 8} (ii) A B 5 {2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12}

Inequalities (order relations)An inequality is a statement involving one of four symbols that indicates an order relation between two numbers or algebraic expressions on either side of the symbol. The symbols are

, (less than)

. (greater than)

< (less than or equal to)

> (greater than or equal to).

Set relations and operationsSubset: A B means that A is a subset of BProper subset: A B means that A B but A BIntersection: A B 5 {x | x A and x B}Union: A B 5 {x | x A or x B or both}Complement: A9 5 {x | x A}Empty set: [, the set with no elementsCartesian product: A 3 B 5 {(a, b) | a A, b B}

Hint: When we list the elements of a set we never repeat an element. For example, for A B in Example 3 the numbers 2 and 8 are in both A and B but they are each written once when listing the elements in A B.

In Example 3, instead of defining sets U, A, B and C using lists, we could have defined each of the sets using a rule. For example, U 5 {x | 1 < x < 13, x Z}, A 5 {x | x 5 3n 2 1, n 5 1, 2, 3, 4},B 5 {x | x 5 2n, 1 < n < 6 and

n Z},and C 5 {x | x < 13, x is a prime number}.

sodium chloride, lead(II) sulfate, zinc nitrate, calcium carbonate, iron(III) sulfate, lead(II) chloride, potassium sulfate, copper(II) carbonate, silver chloride, aluminium nitrate, barium sulfate, ammonium chloride, magnesium nitrate, calcium sulfate, sodium phosphate, nickel(II) carbonate, chromium(III) hydroxide, potassium dichromate(VI)

2 a) Describe in detail the preparation of a pure, dry sample of copper(II) sulfate crystals, CuSO

4⋅5H

2O, starting from

copper(II) oxide.

b) Write full equations for (i) the reaction producing copper(II) sulfate solution, (ii) the crystallisation reaction.

3 a) Read the following description of a method for making sodium sulfate crystals, Na

2SO

4⋅10H

2O, and then explain

the reasons for each of the underlined phrases or sentences.

25 cm3 of sodium carbonate solution was transferred to a conical flask using a pipette, and a few drops of methyl orange were added. Dilute sulfuric acid was run in from a burette until the solution became orange. The volume of acid added was noted. That same volume of dilute sulfuric acid was added to a fresh 25 cm3 sample of sodium carbonate solution in a clean flask, but without the methyl orange. The mixture was evaporated until a sample taken on the end of a glass rod crystallised on cooling in the air. The solution was left to cool. The crystals formed were separated from the remaining solution and dried.

b) Write equations for (i) the reaction producing sodium sulfate solution, (ii) the crystallisation reaction.

4 Suggest solutions that could be mixed together to make each of the following insoluble salts. In each case, write the ionic equation for the reaction you choose.

a) silver chloride

b) calcium carbonate

c) lead(II) sulfate

d) lead(II) chloride

5 Describe in detail the preparation of a pure, dry sample of barium carbonate. Write the ionic equation for the reaction you use.

6 There are three main methods of making salts:

A reacting an acid with an excess of a suitable solid

B using a titration

C using a precipitation reaction.

For each of the following salts, write down the letter of the appropriate method, and name the substances you would react together. You should state whether they are used as solids or solutions. Write an equation (full or ionic as appropriate) for each reaction.

a) zinc sulfate

b) barium sulfate

c) potassium nitrate (nitric acid is HNO3)

d) copper(II) nitrate

e) lead(II) chromate(VI) (a bright yellow insoluble solid; chromate(VI) ions have the formula CrO

42–).

You should now be able to:

know which salts are soluble and which are insoluble in water✓

give practical details of how you would make a pure, dry sample of a salt from the reaction ✓between a suitable solid (metal, metal oxide, metal hydroxide or metal carbonate) and an acid

know which salts can be made by this method✓

describe how to make pure, dry samples of sodium, potassium or ammonium salts using a ✓titration method

describe how to make pure, dry samples of insoluble salts using precipitation reactions✓

write ionic equations for precipitation reactions.✓

Section B: Some Essential Background Chemistry

Chapter 10: Making Salts

Soluble and insoluble saltsThe importance of knowing whether a salt is soluble or insoluble in water

You will remember that acids react with carbonates to give a salt, carbon dioxide and water. In the case of calcium carbonate (for example, marble chips) reacting with dilute hydrochloric acid, calcium chloride solution is produced.

CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl

2(aq) + CO

2(g) + H

2O(l)

If you try the reaction between calcium carbonate and dilute sulfuric acid, nothing much seems to happen if you use large marble chips. You will get a few bubbles when you fi rst add the acid, but the reaction soon stops.

The problem is that the calcium sulfate produced in the reaction is almost insoluble in water. As soon as the reaction starts, a layer of calcium sulfate is formed around the calcium carbonate, stopping any further reaction.

Any attempt to produce an insoluble salt from the reaction between a solid and a liquid will fail for this reason.

This chapter looks at some of the practical problems in making pure samples of salts in the lab. Remember that a salt is what is formed when the hydrogen in an acid is replaced by a metal. For example, sulfates come from sulfuric acid, chlorides from hydrochloric acid, and nitrates from nitric acid.

How quickly the reaction stops may well depend on the size of the marble chips (because that affects the surface area), the concentration of the acid, the volume of acid added, and the amount the fl ask is shaken. This would make an interesting investigation – particularly if you could then explain any pattern in your results.

You may have noticed that the bottle in the right-hand photograph is labelled as ‘sulphuric acid’ rather than ‘sulfuric acid’. You must expect to come across both versions of this name. ‘Sulphuric’ is the traditional English spelling.

Figure 10.3 The reaction between calcium carbonate and sulfuric acid.

DNA REPLICATION3

DNA replication3.4

Assessment statements

3.4.1 Explain DNA replication in terms of unwinding the double helix and separation of the strands by helicase, followed by formation of the new complementary strands by DNA polymerase.

3.4.2 Explain the signifi cance of complementary base pairing in the conservation of the base sequence of DNA.

3.4.3 State that DNA replication is semiconservative.

Interesting fact

Helicase may catalyse the unzipping of DNA at a rate measured in hundreds of base pairs per second.

DNA replication involves ‘unzipping’ Cells must prepare for a cell division by doubling the DNA content of the cell in a process called DNA replication. This process doubles the quantity of DNA and also ensures that there is an exact copy of each DNA molecule. You should try to picture the environment in which the DNA is actually replicating. This is the environment of the nucleus during interphase of the cell cycle. During interphase, there is a nuclear membrane which separates the fl uid of the nucleus (nucleoplasm) from the cytoplasm. The DNA is in the form of chromatin (not tightly coiled chromosomes). Among the variety of molecules present in the nucleoplasm there are two types that are particularly important for the process of DNA replication; they are:

enzymes needed for replication – these include helicase and a group of enzymes collectively called DNA polymerase;

free nucleotides – these are nucleotides that are not yet bonded and are found fl oating freely in the nucleoplasm, some contain adenine, some thymine, some cytosine and some guanine.

Key Fact

DNA must replicate before any cell divides. This means that DNA replication precedes binary fi ssion for prokayotes, mitosis for many eukaryotic cells and meiosis for eukaryotic gamete producing cells.

One of the early events of DNA replication is the separation of the double helix into two single strands. You should remember that the double helix is held together by the hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs (A and T, C and G). The enzyme that initiates this separation into two single strands is called helicase. Helicase begins at a point in or at the end of a DNA molecule and moves one complementary base pair at a time, breaking the hydrogen bonds so the double-stranded DNA molecule becomes two separate strands.

The unpaired nucleotides on each of these single strands can now be used as a template to help create two double-stranded DNA molecules identical to the original. Some people use the analogy of a zipper for this process. When you pull on a zipper, the slide mechanism is like helicase. The separation of the two sides of the DNA molecule are like the two opened sides of a zipper (see Figure 13). Helicase (currently at about the half-way

point in this image) would have started on the left and be moving towards the right.

The experimental work which de-termined that DNA replication was semiconservative is often called ‘the most beautiful experiment in biol-ogy’. See how this classic experiment was conducted athttp://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/M/Mesel-son_Stahl.htmlFormation of two complementary strands

As shown in Figure 13, once DNA has become ‘unzipped’, the nitrogenous bases on each of the single strands are unpaired. In the environment of the nucleoplasm, there are many free-fl oating nucleotides. These nucleotides are available to form complementary pairs with the single-stranded nucleotides of the unzipped molecule. This does not happen in a random fashion. A free nucleotide locates on one opened strand at one end and then a second nucleotide can come in to join the fi rst. This will require that these two nucleotides become covalently bonded together as they are the beginning of a new strand. The formation of a covalent bond between two adjoining nucleotides is catalysed by one of the DNA polymerase enzymes that is important in this process.

A third nucleotide then joins the fi rst two and the process continues in a repetitive way for many nucleotides. The other unzipped strand also acts as a template for the formation of another new strand. This strand forms in a similar fashion, but in the opposite direction to the fi rst strand. Notice that one strand is replicating in the same direction as helicase is moving and the other strand is replicating in the opposite direction.

Signifi cance of complementary base pairingThe pattern of DNA replication ensures that two identical copies of DNA are produced from one. Figure 14 illustrates a very small section of DNA replicating.

TOK

Who should decide how fast and how far humans should go with our study of DNA and the technology that is rapidly emerging?

Notice that in the area where replication has already taken place, the two strands are absolutely identical to each other. This is because the original double–stranded molecule had complementary pairs of nucleotides and it was the complementary nucleotides that used the unzipped single-stranded areas as templates.This also means that no DNA molecule is ever completely new. Every DNA molecule after replication consists of a strand that was ‘old’ now paired with a strand that is ‘new’. DNA replication is described as a semiconservative process because half of a pre-existing DNA molecule is always conserved (saved).

7 The concept of semiconservative DNA replication has some interesting repercussions. For example, one can argue that there never is such a thing as a ‘new’ DNA molecule. How long has your DNA been in you? In your family lineage?

8 Most DNA mutations occur during DNA replication. Suggest how a mutation called a deletion could occur. Suggest how a mutation called a substitution could occur.

1 Muscle paralysis is common in many cases of poisoning, often as a result of interference with chemical transmission from the motor neurones to the muscles at the neuromuscular junctions. Studies of venomous snakes, such as the Prugasti krait (Bungarus fasciatus) have played a part in the investigation of this chemical transmission.

(a) Describe the normal sequence of events that occurs within a muscle fibre after stimulation of a neuromuscular junction. (5)

(b) Bungaratoxin can be isolated from the venom of the Prugasti krait. In minute amounts, it can cause paralysis of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles by its effects at synapses. Suggest how bungaratoxin causes these effects. (3)

Muscles, joints and movementBones can move in relation to one another at joints. Different types of joint allow different degrees of movement. Ligaments are made of elastic connective tissue. They hold bones together and restrict the amount of movement possible at a joint. Tendons are cords of non-elastic fi brous tissue that anchor muscles to bones.

Skeletal muscles are those attached to bones and are normally arranged in antagonistic pairs. This means that there are pairs of muscles which pull in opposite directions. Flexors contract to fl ex, or bend a joint, e.g. biceps in the arm; extensors contract to extend, or straighten a joint, e.g. triceps in the arm.

Each skeletal muscle is a bundle of millions of muscle cells called fi bres. Each muscle cell may be several centimetres long and contains several nuclei. It contains many myofi brils which are made up of the fi brous proteins actin (thin fi laments) and myosin (thick fi laments). The cell surface membrane of a muscle cell is known as the sarcolemma. The sarcoplasmic reticulum is a specialised endoplasmic reticulum which can store and release calcium ions. The cytoplasm inside a muscle cell is called the sarcoplasm. The specialised synapse (see page 63, Topic 8) between neurones and muscle cells is called the neuromuscular junction.

The sliding fi lament theory of muscle contraction

Remember that muscles can’t stretch themselves. It is the pull created by the contraction of the antagonistic muscle that stretches a muscle when it is in a relaxed state.

The prefi x myo- refers to ‘muscle’ and sarco- to ‘fl esh’ (i.e. muscle) so specialist terms starting with myo- or sarco- will refer to structures within muscles.
