Summary of PAES Ciencias - Resumen rápido de conceptos claves física, química y biología

This video provides a rapid review of key concepts in physics, chemistry, and biology aimed at students preparing for the PAES exam. The focus is on essential ideas and criteria to help students recognize and apply fundamental knowledge during the test, rather than deep explanations or exhaustive coverage.

Main Ideas and Concepts

1. Scientific Method

Key steps: observation, research, hypothesis, experiment, data analysis, conclusions.
Hypothesis links independent and dependent variables.
Difference between hypothesis (unproven assumption) and theory (well-established explanation).
Models: visual or conceptual tools to explain phenomena (e.g., atomic models, light as wave or particle).
Experimental procedure: step-by-step actions in experiments.
Variables:
- Independent variable: what is intentionally changed.
- Dependent variable: what is measured or observed.
- Controlled variables: constants kept the same.

2. Chemistry Essentials

Basic properties:
- Mass = amount of matter.
- Volume = space occupied.
- Density = mass per volume; denser materials have more mass in less space.
States of Matter:
- Solid, liquid, gas (plasma usually not required).
- Energy increases from solid (lowest) to gas (highest).
- Phase changes: melting, solidification, evaporation, condensation, sublimation.
Classification of Matter:
- Mixtures:
  - Homogeneous (uniform, e.g., sugar in water).
  - Heterogeneous (components visible, e.g., soil in water).
- Substances:
  - Elements (one type of atom, e.g., O₂).
  - Compounds (multiple atoms, e.g., H₂O).
Physical vs Chemical Changes:
- Physical: no change in molecular structure (e.g., phase changes).
- Chemical: molecular structure changes (e.g., combustion, oxidation, fermentation, digestion).
Separation Techniques:
- Filtration: separates solids from liquids.
- Decantation: solids settle at bottom, liquid is separated.
- Distillation: separates based on boiling points.
- Sieving: separates solids by size.
Atomic Models:
- Democritus: indivisible atoms.
- Dalton: different atoms.
- Thomson: plum pudding model with embedded charges.
- Rutherford: nucleus with electrons orbiting.
- Chadwick: discovery of neutrons.
- Bohr: electrons in orbits with quantized energy.
Atomic Structure:
- Protons (+) and neutrons (neutral) in nucleus; electrons (-) orbit.
- Atomic number = number of protons (defines element).
- Mass number = protons + neutrons.
- Isotopes: atoms of same element with different neutrons.
Ions:
- Cations: positive, lost electrons.
- Anions: negative, gained electrons.
Periodic Table:
- Groups (columns) and periods (rows).
- Period number = number of electron orbits.
- Metals on left, nonmetals on right, noble gases in group 18.
- Atomic radius increases down and to the left.
- Electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity increase up and to the right.
Chemical Bonds:
- Metallic bonds: between metals; electrons are delocalized.
- Ionic bonds: between metal and nonmetal; transfer of electrons; polar molecules.
- Covalent bonds: between nonmetals; sharing electrons.
  - Polar covalent: unequal sharing (e.g., H–Cl).
  - Nonpolar covalent: equal sharing (e.g., H–H).
Organic Chemistry Basics:
- Prefixes for carbon chains: meth-, eth-, prop-, but-, pent-, hex-, hept-, oct-, non-, dec-.
- Alkanes (-ane): single bonds.
- Alkenes (-ene): double bonds.
- Alkynes (-yne): triple bonds.

3. Physics Key Concepts

Waves:
- Waves transport energy only.
- Types:
  - Mechanical (require medium).
  - Electromagnetic (do not require medium).
- Direction:
  - Transverse (oscillation perpendicular to wave direction).
  - Longitudinal (oscillation parallel).
- Wave properties: amplitude, wavelength, frequency, period.
- Frequency relates to color (light) or pitch (sound).
- Red light = lowest frequency; violet = highest.
Reflection, Refraction, Diffraction, Interference:
- Reflection: bouncing of waves.
- Refraction: bending of light when passing between media; bends toward normal in denser medium, away in less dense.
- Diffraction: bending around obstacles.
- Interference: waves adding or subtracting.
Doppler Effect:
- Apparent frequency changes with relative motion.
- Approaching objects: frequency increases.
- Receding objects: frequency decreases.
Electricity:
- Current = movement of charge.
- Voltage = energy to move charges.
- Resistance opposes current; follows Ohm’s Law (V = IR).
- Series circuits: resistances add.
- Parallel circuits: reciprocal sum of resistances; total resistance less than any individual.
- Trick: identical resistors in parallel, total resistance = resistor value divided by number of resistors.
- Power formulas:
  - P = IV
  - P = I²R
  - P = V²/R
- Cable resistance depends on length (longer = more resistance) and thickness (thicker = less resistance).
- Resistivity depends on material.

4. Biology Basics

Cells:
- Two types:
  - Prokaryotic (no organelles, e.g., bacteria).
  - Eukaryotic (with membrane-bound organelles).
- Organelles to know:
  - Nucleus: contains DNA.
  - Mitochondria: produces ATP (energy).
  - Chloroplasts: photosynthesis in plants.
  - Golgi apparatus: packages and transports molecules.
  - Lysosomes: digest and detoxify.
  - Vacuole: stores water.
  - Endoplasmic reticulum:
    - Smooth (lipid synthesis).
    - Rough (protein folding).
  - Centrioles: support cell structure.
- Plant cells have cell wall (made of cellulose), large vacuole, chloroplasts.
Cell Transport:
- Passive transport (no energy):
  - Simple diffusion (through membrane).
  - Facilitated diffusion (through protein channels).
  - Moves substances down concentration gradient.
- Osmosis: movement of water through semipermeable membrane toward higher solute concentration.
- Active transport (requires energy): moves substances against concentration gradient (e.g., sodium-potassium pump).
- Secondary transport: uses movement of one molecule to transport another.
Cell Division:
- Mitosis: produces identical somatic cells, no genetic variability.
- Meiosis: produces gametes with genetic variability.

Methodologies / Instructional Points

Scientific Method overview: observation → hypothesis (linking independent and dependent variables) → experiment → data analysis → conclusions.
Variable identification: independent (manipulated), dependent (measured), controlled (constant).
Phase changes: memorize names and directions of transitions between solid, liquid, gas.
Separation techniques: know which method separates what (filtration, decantation, distillation, sieving).
Atomic structure calculations: atomic number = protons; mass number = protons + neutrons; neutrons = mass number − atomic number.
Ion charge determination: cations lose electrons (positive), anions gain electrons (negative).
Periodic trends: atomic radius increases down/left; electronegativity, ionization energy increase up/right.
Bond types: metallic (metals), ionic (metal + nonmetal), covalent (nonmetal + nonmetal); polar vs nonpolar covalent.
Ohm’s Law and circuits: voltage = current × resistance; series and parallel circuit resistance calculations; power formulas.
Cell transport: differentiate passive (diffusion, osmosis) and active transport (requires ATP).
Cell organelles functions: nucleus (DNA), mitochondria (energy), Golgi (packaging), lysosomes (detox), ER (lipids/proteins).
