nutrient recycling
reuse of nutrients
symbiosis
a relationship between species in which at least one benefits
non metallic element in protein except C, H, O, N
sulphur
human cell water % by mass in human cell
70-95%
asexual reproduction in yeast
budding
advantage of asexual reproducing
•rapid
•no variation
•desires characteristic maintained
disadvantage of asexual reproduction
•increased risk of disease
•overcrowding
•no variation
•increased competition
long stage of cell cycle when division not occurring
interphase
biomolecules produced during interphase
•nucleic acid
•protein
•fat
•carbohydrate
an organelle replicated at interphase
•mitochondrion
•chloroplast
•ribosomes
changes in cell by end of interphase
•coiled chromosomes
•chromosomes visible under microscope
•disappearance of nuclear membrane
•formation of spindle
why don’t mature red blood cells not go under cell dividen
no nucleus
control in reducing sugar test
water
control colour at end of reducing sugar experiment
blue
gel substance to trap enzyme when immobilizing an enzyme
sodium alginate
substance to make gel insoluble in immobilizing enzyme experiment
calcium chloride
3 carbon molecule in respiration
pyruvic acid
pathway where pyruvic acid is produced
glycolysis
fate of pyruvic acid when oxygen is available and used in the breakdown of glucose
turned into acetyl CoA
pyruvic acid fate in krebs cycle
•CO2 produced
•atp produced
•nadh produced
fate of pyruvic acid in electron transport system
•protons combine with o2/ electrons combine with o2 to form water
anaerobic product in muscle
lactic acid
anaerobic product in yeast
ethanol
excretion
removal of metabolic waste
egestion
removal of undigested material
excretory products from mammals
•carbon dioxide
•urca
•salt(s)
animals that can vary their metabolic rate significantly
endotherm
species
a group of organisms capable of interbreeding to produce fertile offspring
evolution
genetic changes in response to environment over time
role of natural selection
•better adapted survive
•reproduce
•adaptation is inherited
mutation
•a change in DNA
gene mutation disorder
sickle cell anaemia
chromosome mutation disorder
down syndrome
requirements for successful tissue culture
•sterile conditions
•suitable medium
•suitable temp
•suitable pH
•oxygen supply
turgid
pressure of cell contents against the cell wall
a vein that transports blood out of the muscle from heart
coronary vein
bring that brings blood away from kidneys
renal vein
vein that carries little carbon dioxide
pulmonary vein
vein that brings blood into right atrium
vena cava
vein that has capillaries at both ends
hepatic portal vein
how blood move through veins
skeletal muscle contracting, valves prevent back flow
function of red marrow and yellow marrow
yellow - converts red blood cells to red marrow
•red- produces blood cells
