Question
Answer
show Through Diffusion. Therefore to supply enough oxygen, gas exchange must be rapid.  
🗑
What helps gas exchange?   show
🗑

show 20.

show [Diagram]  
🗑
show The sequence of Amino Acids in a polypeptide chain joined by a peptide bond  
🗑
show A bond between amino acids formed by the loss of water in a condensation reaction.  
🗑
What is Secondary Structure?   show
🗑

🗑
What are the properties of the R group?   show
🗑

🗑
What is a conjugated protein?   show
🗑

🗑
What are Globular proteins?   show
🗑
show Remain in long chains, can be cross linked for strength. Insoluble. Important for structural molecules; E.g. Keratin in skin, Collagen in nails.  
🗑
show Is when all the molecules are arranges so that the Hydrophobic tails are inside the Bilayer. As cells are filled with watery/aqueous cytoplasm and tissue fluid. Avoids Hydrophobic fatty tails being in contact with the water  
🗑
What does the Phospholipid contain?   show
🗑
show Phosphate is polar and attracts other polar molecules like water. A bilayer will tend to close on itself so that there are no edges with hydrocarbon chains.  
🗑
show Fatty acids/tails} are hydrophobic/non-polar so orientate themselves away from Water Phosphate heads} are hydrophilic /polar so can interact with water / polar environment Cytoplasm / tissue fluid as the polar environment  
🗑
Why do they form a Fluid Mosaic Model?   show
🗑
show Proteins, Glycolipids ;Cell Recognition Glycoproteins;Antigens and Receptors Cholestrol;Reduces fluidity by preventing movement of PB, Channel Proteins; Allows substances to move in or out, Phospholipids.  
🗑
What are the 4 different evidence's for the Fluid Mosaic Model.   show
🗑
show It would become more fluid, as there are more kinks therefore it prevents them from packing closely together.  
🗑
show Net movement of molecules or ions from a region where they are are high concentration to a region of low concentration. Until it has reached an equilibrium. Hydrophobic or small uncharged molecules through PB. Passive. E.g. Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen  
🗑
What is Facilitated Diffusion?   show
🗑
What is a Channel and Carrier Protein?   show
🗑
What is Osmosis?   show
🗑
show When energy is required to change the shape of the carrier protein and move the substance across the membrane against conc grad. Active. Energy comes from respiration in the form of ATP, which changes the shape.  
🗑
What is Exo/Endocytosis?   show
🗑
show Detected-Cell Membrane Carrier proteins-pump Na+ Na+ diffuse down conc grad. Into cell-FD-Na channels Inc.in Na in TF,creates pot.difference. + ions in mucus, electrical gradient; Cl ions to move out into TF Increase in Na and Cl,draws water by osmo  
🗑
What happens if they're too little water in the mucus?   show
🗑
What is Cystic Fibrosis?   show
🗑
show Mucus thicker,thickened mucus X be moved out by cilia/coughing  
🗑
Explain how cystic fibrosis affects the digestive system   show
🗑
Explain how cystic fibrosis affects gas exchange?   show
🗑
Explain how cystic fibrosis affects reproductive system?   show
🗑
What are Enzymes?   show
🗑
How do Enzymes work?   show
🗑
show Induced fit theory- Substrate enters AS, Enzyme molecule changes shape fit's close around substrate. Only specific substrate will induce the change in shape of an enzyme's active site.  
🗑
How do Enzymes work? [3]   show
🗑
show Specific shape of the enzyme's active site and comp structure- Electrically charged groups on surfaces interact. Attraction may distort shape of substrate & assist breaking of bonds and form new bonds.Or acidic side chains-provide condition for reaction.  
🗑
show Determining the quantity of substrate used or the quantity of product formed. Measuring the amount of oxygen given off in a known time. As substrate is used, there are fewer substrate molecules to bind with and therefore slows down.  
🗑
What does DNA contain?   show
🗑
What is a gene?   show
🗑
What is a genome?   show
🗑
What does DNA stand for?   show
🗑
What does a mononucleotide contain?   show
🗑

🗑
What is the genetic code?   show
🗑
What is a triplet code?   show
🗑
show A copy of the DNA, which can leave the nucleus towards the cytoplasm; to make proteins.  
🗑
What is the difference between DNA and RNA?   show
🗑
What are the three types of RNA?   show
🗑
show Transcription and Translation.  
🗑
show - Takes place in nucleus - DNA double helix unwinds & H bonds break - Free nucleotides line up - Enzyme DNA Polymerase bonds nucleotides together,Phosphodiester bonds form between Deoxyribose & Phosphate group. - Hydrogen bonds link 2 strands togeth
