A

Deoxyribose

23
Q

2 purine bases

24
Q

2 pyrimidine bases

25
What is a cofactor
A non protein substance that binds to enzymes to allow then to work
26
What is a coenzyme
An organic molecule version of a cofactor
27
What happens during Prophase in Mitosis
``` Chromosomes condense (shorter and fatter) Centrioles move to opposite ends of cell forming spindle Nuclear envelope breaks down ```
28
What happend during Metaphase in mitosis
Chromosomes line up in middle of cell and attatch to spindle
29
What hapoens in Anaphase in mitosis
Centromeres divide seperating each pair of sister chromatids | Spindle contracts, pulling chromotids to opposite ends of cell
30
What haooens during telophase in mitosis
``` Chromatids uncoil (chromosomes again) Nuclear envelope forms around the two groups of chromosomes ```
31
What is produced by meiosis
4 haploid daughter cells
32
4 tyoes of animal tissue
Squamous epithelium Ciliated epithelium Muscle tissue Cartilage
33
Where is squamous epithelium tissue found
Lining surfaces
34
3 types of muscle tissue
Smooth Cardiac Skeletal
35
3 properties of xylem to help it's function
``` No end walls to form uninterrupted tube Dead cells (hollow) to transport water Walls contain lignin to support ```
36
What are sieve tube elements
Living cells that form the phloem
37
Why do sieve tube elements need companion cells
They lack a nucleus so companion cells carry out living functions for them and sieve tube elements
38
What is species richness
Number of differant species in an area
39
5 kingdoms
``` Protoctista Prokaryote Fungi Plantae Animalia ```
40
Taxonomic hierachy
``` Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species ```
41
2 adaptations of marram grass
Stomata sunk into pits | Roll leaves in hot/windy conditions
42
2 adaptations of cacti
Thick waxy layer | Spines instead of leaves to reduce surface area
43
What is translocation
Movement of dissolved substances around the plant in the phloem
44
What is a leukocyte
White blood cell
45
Two types of leukocytes
Lymphocytes and phagocytes
46
Two types of lymphocytes
B cells and T cells
47
Two tyoes of phagocyte
Monocyte and macrophage
48
What is a erythrocyte
Red blood cell
49
Example of natural active immunity
Become immune after catching a disease
50
Example of artificial active immunity
Vaccination
51
Example of natural passive immunity
Baby receives antibodies from mothers placenta or breast milk
