Question
Answer
Name the 3 elements present in carbohydrates   carbon , hydrogen and oxygen  
🗑
Food is needed for   Source of Energy Make chemicals needed for metabolic reactions for growth and repair for heat  
🗑
Metabolism   The sum of all chemical reactions that occur in living organisms  
🗑
6 common elements   Carbon(C), Hydrogen(H), Oxygen(O),Nitrogen(N), Phosphorus(P) and Sulfer(S)  
🗑
5 Elements present as dissolved salts   Sodium(Na), Magnesium(Mg), Chlorine(Cl), Potassium(K), and Calcium(Ca)  
🗑
3 Trace Elements   Iron(Fe),Copper(Cu) and Zinc(Zn)  
🗑
Trace Elements   Only required in tiny amounts in the diet  
🗑
Biomolecules   Chemicals that are made inside a living thing  
🗑
Monosaccharide   Carbohydrate composed of single sugar unit eg glucose  
🗑
Disaccharide   Carbohydrate composed of two sugar units joined together eg maltose  
🗑
Polysaccharide   Carbohydrate composed of many sugar units joined together eg Starch , Cellulose, Glycogen  
🗑
Structural role of Carbohydrates   Cellulose is used to form plant cell walls  
🗑
Metabolic role of Carbohydrates   Glucose broke down in respiration to release energy/ Glucose is made in photosynthesis  
🗑
What are Lipids composed of   Fats and oils  
🗑
Name the structures of Lipids and what its made of   Triglyceride - 1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids Phospholipid - 1 glycerol, 2 fatty acids and 1 phosphate  
🗑
Structural role of lipids   Food store in plant and animals heat, insulation and protection of the organs combine with phosphorus to form phospholips and protein to form lioproteins  
🗑
Metabolic role of lipids   Broken down in respiration to release energy  
🗑
Structure of protein   Fibrous protein Globular protein  
🗑
Structural role of protein   Fibrous protein eg Keratin in hair and nails or myosin in muscles  
🗑
Metabolic role of protein   used as enzymes to control reactions Form antibodies to fight infection Some hormones are protein based and used to regulate body reactions  
🗑
Vitamins   Essential organic catalysts of metabolism they can be fat soluble or water soluble  
🗑
Name a water soluble vitamin   Vitamin C called ascorbic acid  
🗑
Metabolic Role of Vitamin C   Necessary for formation of connective tissue such as skin or gums Growth and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth Helping wounds to heal helping immune system to function properly  
🗑
Deficiency of vitamin C disease and symptoms   Poor healing of skin Bleeding under the skin Bleeding gums with loose teeth  
🗑
Name a fat soluble vitamin   Vitamin D  
🗑
Metabolic role of vitamin D   Helps absorb calcium from the intestine and therefor needed for healthy bones and tooth formation  
🗑
Deficiency of vitamin D disease and symptoms   Rickets in children and Osteomalacia in adults Weak,deformed bones that tend to break easily  
🗑
Name 2 plant minerals   Magnesium(Mg) and Calcium(Ca)  
🗑
Name 2 animal minerals   Iron(Fe), Calcium(Ca) and Sodium(Na)  
🗑
Give the source and use of Magnesium   Salts in the soil Helps form chlorophyll  
🗑
Give the source and use for Calcium in plants   Salts in the soil Helps cell walls attach to each other  
🗑
Give a source and use for Iron   Liver,Meat,Broccoli,Spinach Helps form Haemoglobin  
🗑
Give and source and use for Calcium in animals   Milk,Cheese,Dairy products Helps form strong bones and teeth  
🗑
Give a source and use of Sodium   Table Salt Regulation of osmotic balance (maintain water levels in the body)  
🗑
What is water a component of   Cytoplasm and body fluids  
🗑
Give 2 functions of water   Transport medium Solvent reaction medium Support medium movement of sperm (animals)  
🗑
What does good solvent mean   Able to dissolve a wide range of molecules Allows chemical reactions to take place in water in the cytoplasm and cell organelles Allows many molecules to be dissolved in water for transport in plants and animals  
🗑
Name 2 biochemical reactions that water participates in   Photosynthesis - used to supply hydrogen ions and electrons Respiration- formed as an end product Digestion-needed to breakdown food  
🗑
What is osmosis   When cells absorb large amounts of water they become swollen  
🗑
Why is water a good absorber of heat   Slow to heat up and slow to cool down  
🗑
What is the water content in humans   75-90%  
🗑
What is an Anabolic reaction and an example   Use energy to convert in to larger molecules using enzymes Eg) Formation of muscle from amino acids (protein synthesis) Formation of cellulose from glucose Photosynthesis (carbon dioxide and water are used to make glucose and oxygen)  
🗑
What is a Catabolic reaction and an example   Release energy when a complex molecule is broken down to a simpler form using enzymes Eg) Respiration (glucose is broke down to release energy) Digestion ( food is broken down to its simpler form eg starch digested to glucose)  
🗑
What does CRAP stand for   Catabolic - Respiration Anabolic - Photosynthesis  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
