Hess's law and enthalpy as a state function
Enthalpy H is a state function: its change between two states is independent of path. Consequently, the enthalpy change of a reaction may be computed by summing the enthalpy changes of any convenient sequence of reactions that net to the same overall transformation (Hess's law). Standard enthalpies of formation provide...

The Cell Theory
The cell theory states that (1) all living organisms are composed of one or more cells, (2) the cell is the basic unit of structure and organization in organisms, and (3) all cells arise from pre-existing cells. This framework unifies microscopic anatomy with the continuity of life and remains a foundational principle ...

Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
Prokaryotic cells lack a membrane-bounded nucleus and membrane-bounded organelles; their genetic material is typically a single circular chromosome located in the nucleoid.

Structure of DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a polymer of nucleotide monomers. Each nucleotide consists of a deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogenous bases (A, T, C, G). Two antiparallel strands form a double helix stabilized by hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs (A–T, C–G) and by base stacking....

Natural Selection
Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype.

Overview of Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy stored in carbohydrates. In oxygenic photosynthesis the overall reaction is 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O + light → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂. Light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane and generate ATP and NADPH while evolving O₂. The Calvin cycle (light-independent reacti...

Cellular respiration extracts usable energy from organic molecules. In aerobic respiration the overall process is C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ → 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O + energy (ATP + heat). Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol; the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation occur in mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. The electron-transport ...

Relative Scales in the Solar System
The Sun contains 99.8 % of the mass of the Solar System. The terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) are small, rocky, and close to the Sun; the Jovian planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) are large, volatile-rich, and farther out. Distances are conveniently measured in astronomical units (1 AU ≈ 1.496 ...

Stellar Parallax and Distance Measurement
The apparent shift in position of a nearby star against the background of distant stars, measured from opposite sides of Earth's orbit, is the trigonometric parallax. Distance in parsecs is the reciprocal of the parallax angle in arcseconds: d (pc) = 1 / p ("). One parsec equals 3.0857 × 10¹⁶ m ≈ 3.26 light-years. Para...

Plate Tectonics
Earth's lithosphere is divided into rigid plates that move relative to one another over the ductile asthenosphere. Divergent boundaries create new crust (mid-ocean ridges); convergent boundaries recycle crust (subduction zones) or build mountain belts; transform boundaries accommodate lateral slip. Mantle convection, s...

The Rock Cycle
Igneous rocks form by solidification of magma or lava. Sedimentary rocks form by weathering, erosion, deposition, and lithification of pre-existing material.

The Greenhouse Effect
Short-wave solar radiation reaches Earth's surface and is partly absorbed. The surface emits long-wave infrared radiation. Greenhouse gases (H₂O, CO₂, CH₄, etc.) absorb a fraction of this infrared radiation and re-emit it in all directions, including back toward the surface. The result is a higher equilibrium surface t...

Orbital period for semi-major axis 28.01 AU
For a planet orbiting the Sun, Kepler's third law states that the square of the sidereal orbital period T (in years) equals the cube of the semi-major axis a (in AU): T² = a³. With a = 28.01 AU one obtains T = 148.2 years. The law is a direct consequence of Newtonian gravity for a central inverse-square force.
T^2 = a^3 (solar units)
