QuestionAnswer
what is the cell membrane responsible for What passes in and out of the cell
cell wall and vacuole both important for structure
cytoplasm where most of the reactions take place
ribosome responsible for proteinsynthesis
mitochondria where energy is produced
magnification equation magnification = image height / object height
DNA- what letters Structre ATGC Double helix
mitosis one parent cell to two identical daughter cells
diffusion particles move from high concentration to low concentration. moving down the concentration gradient. passive so no energy is needed.
osmosis diffusion for water when it goes through a semi permeable membrane. Pratical- potato, sucrose solution
active transport moves against the concentration gradient. energy is needed. minerals into roots. carrier proteins move the molecules from outside the cell to inside the cell.
respiration equation glucose + oxygen= water + carbon dioxide
photosynthesis equation carbon dioxide + water = glucose + oxygen
factors that effect rate of photosynthesis
Light Temperature Carbon dioxide
anaerobic respiration glucose > lactic acid
matabolism sum of all the chemical reations
what are infectious diseases caused by pathogens - bacteria, fungi, virus, protist
body defences skin platelets mucus acid WHITE BLOOD CELLS
lymphocytes make antibodies that bond to the antigen on the surface of a virus has to be specific shape body remembers it if you have it again making you immune
vaccination inject a dead version into the body so the body will have antibodies to protect you if the real virus arrives
who discovered penicillin Fleming
Antibiotics dont do what kill viruses
how to develop drugs -discovery -development: test on tissues -trails: animal then human blind trials -double blind trial -manufacturing -review
what is a blind trial where half are given the real drug and half are given a placebo to see if the drug works- this avoids bias
what is a doubke blind trial where neither the doctors nor patients know which is the placebo and which is the drug
testing antibiotics practical prepare agar dish. spread bacteria. always open in presence of bunce burner (so other bacteria don't enter the dish) place disks and the one with the biggest diameter after a few days is the best antibiotic
types of plant viruses tabacco mosaic fungus- rose black spot
plant mineral deficiency -nitrate deficiency = stunted growth -magnesium deficiency = yellow leaves
plant defences cell wall waxy cuticle
root hair cell large surface area for osmosis to happen.
waxy cuticle so water doesnt escape
upper epidermis transparent to let light through
palisade layer where most photosynthesis happens
spongy mesophyll layer where gas exchange occurs
guard cells control size of stomata
xylem long tubes made from dead cells that carry water
phloem tubes of cells that use active transport to move substances through the plant
transpiration water evaporates from the leaves and this causes low pressure in the plants. water osmoses into the roots and rises up the xylem
transpiration is affected by.. temperature wind humidity
starch food test uses iodine if present food turns black
fats food test uses ethanol turns cloudy - in a test tube
glucose food test uses benidict solution turns from blue to orang
protein food test uses biuret turns from blue to purple
role of enzymes break down molecules specific to the chemical biological catalysts
what ebzyme breaks down starch AMYLASE starch > sugar
Lipids are broken down by... lipase
proteins are broken down by... protease
Lock and key enzyme has an active site. the substrate fits into the active site and can be broken down by the enzyme and split it apart
what haooens to an enzyme in too high of a temperature the active site denatures. so it changes shape and stops working
LUNGS where gas exchange occurs large surface area
parts of the lungs trachea bronchi bronchioles alveoli
what are the alveoli the air sacs where gases o2 and co2 are exchanged alveoli have a large surface area for reaction to have as quickly as possible
Part 1 How the heart works blood enters through the vena cava into the heart in the right atrium. Then trough the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle. that goes out through the pulmonary artery to the lungs
Part 2 of the heart the blood becomes oxygenated at the lungs. comes back into the heart through the pulmonary vein. into the left atrium then the left ventricle. pumped out to the body then becomes deoxygenated and enters back in the heart through the vena cava
arteries pumps blood away from the heart thick walls high pressure
examples of communicable desieases virus infection
examples of non communicable diseases CHD Ballooning of an artery diabetes cancer- mutated cells grow out of control
risk factors of getting diseases diet smoking drugs uv light exercise carcinogens
